This wasn't my favorite book by Georgia Beers. There were definitely several things to like about it, but often those were overshadowed by the things I didn't like, such as the repetitive nature and that sometimes I had a hard time connecting with Lacey.  For me, the best part about the book was Alicia. I really enjoyed her character and when her and Lacey were together on the page everything was great.  I just wish that there had been more of that.

I'm always excited to read a new Georgia Beers book because they're well written. This book was no different than what I've come to expect from one of her books.
If you enjoy simple lovely love stories than this is the book for you. I loved feeling like I was a fly on the wall watching two regular people just fall in love. Nothing too complicated or dramatic, just quiet and simple between two people who happen to end up working next door to one another, find an attraction and pursue it. Everyone has their issues or baggage and so do the two main characters. But that only adds to the charm of watching them fall in love. Lacey and Alicia could be my friends, that is how universal their story is; however, despite that their story is still unique and engaging to read. It probably helps that Beers is a skilled and talented writer and storyteller.  My one complaint is that it sort of abruptly ends. It lacked closure for the characters, even though there was the inevitable proclamation.

I really enjoy reading Georgia Beers books and after reading the blurb on this one I requested it immediately. However while it was good, I found that didn't enjoy this one as much as some of her previous works. 

When Just Wright marketing moves into the empty office next door to the accountancy firm owned by the sensible and organised Lacey Chamberlain, her world is suddenly turned upside down. Enter the beautiful, gorgeous and free spirited Alicia Wright who immediately makes a lasting impression on Lacey. Suddenly Alicia is all Lacey can think about but the question remains can a relationship between two people who are total opposites ever work out?

There were things several I liked about this book. I felt it was a sweet and easy read and I always love a story with a happy ending. I thought that both Lacey and Alicia were very likeable characters and were portrayed as normal everyday women. However I felt that they didn't really have a connection with one another (particularly in the first half of the book) except during the occasions when they slept together. I did really like the secondary characters especially little Leo as he was such a sweetheart and was one of the reasons I gave the book the rating I did!

However the one thing that really bothered me was that the story was so descriptive and repetitive, particularly in the first half of the book. I felt that there was unnecessary descriptions of Lacey's long work days and boring details about her work/clients. I found myself skipping pages at a time as nothing of any great significance was happening.

All in all it was a decent enough read. Was it her best book? I don't think so but I did still enjoyed it and it won't put me off reading other books by Beers in the future.

This author’s books are just point blank amazing. I love that the characters had this chemistry between them and it cracked me up that this marketing person was such a free spirit because that’s exactly how I am at my job and with my team and some people hate it! It’s just hilarious to see them try so hard but fight this connection they have and man I did not put this down and neither should you so pick it up right now!

I don't say this often, but if I could give this book greater than 5 stars, I would. I tend to read slowly, either because a book doesn't grab me, I don't have enough time, or I'm savoring the story. I read this book in three days (lightning fast for me) because every time I put it down, I found myself thinking about the story and planning for the next time I could pick the book up again. IT. WAS. THAT. GOOD. 

The story grabbed me from the start. It didn't take long for me to become fully vested in these very likable characters. When they laughed, I laughed along with them, and when their hearts broke, so did mine. This is a book I'll read more than once.

This was a really nice read. I loved that it was told in the first person. Lacey’s inner monologue was often times hysterical. Lacey and Alicia, both hard working small business owners met when Alicia’s company moved into the vacant office in Lacey’s building. Naturally with Lacey’s routine oriented life, the little shake up with Just Wright moving in was exactly what she needed. Both Lacey and Alicia were great mains. While I was reading I was a little annoyed that Alicia pulled away only after a few weeks of dating. She had gone to a lot of trouble to bring Lacey out of her shell and then she pulled away. As I kept reading, the reason why was revealed and made a lot of sense, so I was no longer annoyed. The supporting characters in this book were great and by far the best was Leo. He just melted my heart. I highly recommend this book to all!!

This was a very sweet, light read. The characters were likable and their line of work was interesting and portrayed in a very realistic manner. I read a few of Ms. Beers earlier novels and enjoyed them. I felt this story, however, had quite a bit of repetition in the characters’ actions and dialogue; this made the plot  stall. The writing style seemed kind of flat and anemic.  Fortunately, toward the end, the writing style took on a renewed life, and made it a decent read.

This one is difficult to write as I think Georgia Beers is a fine writer and has written novels that I absolutely adored. Right Here, Right Now is not my favorite of hers. I wanted so much more from this one.

My main issue with this book is the repetitive nature. The main character, Lacey Chamberlain, is an accountant and financial advisor. When the book begins Lacey's in an accountant's busiest time, tax season. So many times, I mean so many, the reader has subjected the length of Lacey's day, how busy she is, random uninteresting client details. I felt like I was Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. It felt clunky and a loop I desperately wanted to jump out of. Break the cycle, stop telling me boring mundane details. S T O P! 

What's good about this book is the relationship Lacey develops with her office neighbor, marketing guru Alicia Wright. Alicia is a fantastic character and when her an Lacey are together, it's hot, sexy and absolutely adorable. The only thing is you have to weed through so much to get to those scenes. It is never good when you start skimming, and oh how I forced myself to refrain from skimming. 

Not bad but just not a great one either.

Beers used to be a writer whose books I tended to love without reservation. Lately, not so much. I wasn't a fan of her series and even DNFed book 3 (something I never thought would happen with one of her books).

So I picked this up with some trepidation.

But I knew from page one that I would like this a lot and I wasn't disappointed and that had me kind of in a giddy state while reading. While at the same time being hit with all the feels. It sure was a ride.

The only thing that bugged me was the sudden ending. But overall I'm mostly happy that this book hit me right in the gut as much as it did.

i have read most of ms. beers' books and around first quarter of this book i felt it was missing "something" that's often there when i read her books. lacey and leo were awesome, i was amused and mildy annoyed at just wright's antics, but i did not feel any urgency to continue reading.  until i got close to the halfway point and premise was clearer and other plot points were set-up. 

then i just had to know why and how and before i knew it, i've finished reading. 

ps. maybe i was expecting the chemistry of the leads in "spice" or "too close", but lacey and alicia were somewhat lukewarm to me, until the halfway point.

Right Here, Right Now is one of those books that reinstates your faith in the Lesfic romance genre. That it's possible for a romance to so easily captivate you with deep character development, a solid plot line with a few surprise twists, interesting dialogue that draws you in, and lovable yet human characters that you care deeply for by the storie's end. Lacey and Alicia are so different but they somehow fit so well together as we are drawn into their world when Alicia's business moves in next door to Lacey. Told through Lacey's POV, I love how her first person POV really packs an extra emotional punch through her eyes. I laughed at all of the ridiculous and silly moments as Lacey has a great sense of humor. My heart raced at every unbelievably hot and sultry moment. I cried a few tears at their lowest moments, and I felt overwhelming joy when they were at their best. It was a glorious trip for sure. The best part of this story was the final scene of the book that somehow managed to blend fireworks with a quiet but poignant statement. This will go down as one of my favorite books from this author.

A great read by Georgia Beers and I am so glad this time around she did not mess up with the mini breakup she gave her two leads in What Matters Most.

I enjoyed the tax season and how Alicia weasels her way into her life, workplace and heart. It was an engaging read with just the right amount of heat, romance and mischief.

4.5 stars

Lacey Chamberlain is an accountant and financial advisor. Stuck in the middle of tax season hell, she manages with long hours and the steady discipline of avoiding change. 

So when a marketing and design firm move in next door, complete with loud music, hot food at all hours and football in the corridor, Lacey’s life has to change. It doesn’t help that the owner of the new business is the seriously hot Alicia Wright, who seems to be encouraging Lacey to explore her fun side at every opportunity.

While Alicia is living in the moment, and Lacey is stuck in her habits, will the two of them ever be able to make it work?

This was a really entertaining book. I liked both the main characters. They had good back-stories and appropriate behaviours that made sense for the characters, and for the story. Told in the third person, but from Lacey’s perspective, Beers gave us enough information to give us a sense of her job without ever delving into the detail and risk potentially boring those of us not from an accounting background.

Beers also gave herself room for some of the minor characters to shine, without them ever feeling like they were going to take over the story. I thought they were all good; the brother with a bit of sibling rivalry, Lacey’s parents, her p.a., and Alicia’s staff. However, the character that almost stole the show was the dog. He was a great addition and a charming little plot device throughout. 

I knew I’d be in good hands with Georgia Beer, and she didn’t disappoint. This was a delight throughout.
