The book takes you on a journey that is incredible from start to finish. And I Wanna Be Where You Are is just that - magic.

They contained just sex covered by the thinnest veil of plot. These books were in the romance section, which means they likely weren’t well-written. This has been the first trilogy I’ve read all the way through in quite some time, and I had nothing but a good time, a realization that thrilled me to no end.įor a few years, I’d been eyeing these books, staying away for a few reasons that all amounted to my own unfounded assumptions and others’ naysaying.
