Another great read by a favourite author of mine. Lacey owns a accounting business first owned by her father. Business is going well as she, along with the help of her receptionist Mary, works overtime doing the end of year taxes for her clients. She thrives on having in order not only with her work but in her personal life also. Alicia owns her own marketing firm and just moved into the office next to Lacey's. While Lacey likes the her days to be quiet and orderly, Alicia's business seems to thrive on loud music and games. Needless to say these two clash but over time they become close, sharing food and drinks, getting to know each other. But, there is always a but, Alicia has been hurt and is scared to get to close to Lacey. Georgia Beers knows how to write making a tried and true story fresh and really enjoyable. If you're a fan you will love this book. If it's your first time reading a book by G B I’m sure it won't be your last.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were complex and real. I laughed out loud and cried - all great aspects of a book you would read over and over. This is a book you cannot predict what will happen to the characters. At least, I did not. I want that and I want a book that I cannot wait to come home and read! This was wonderful and I am sure I will read this again...soon. Highly recommend!
I was given this ARC by Netgalley in return for a honest review.

Lacey is an accountant, about to head into her busiest season. Tax season. She barely has time to get much needed sleep, let alone deal with noisy new neighbours at her office building. She definitely doesn't have time for Alicia, the beautiful redhead from next door, or the attraction that is building between them.

I had a few frustrations with this book that kept me from fully enjoying it, although for the most part this was a fun way to spend an evening. "She winked. Mary didn’t wink." Buuut, in fact, she had winked several chapters earlier. Normally, I probably wouldn’t notice a discrepancy like that, but I did this time because I remember exactly when Mary winked earlier in the book. She did so when they were joking about suicide in an earlier conversation, which was my other frustration. There’s no reason to joke about suicide and there’s no reason to dedicate two and a half (phone) pages to said joke. It’s not funny. Never is and never will be. It hurts. A few odd frustrating discrepancies and a terrible joke that lost me for a few minutes before I could get back into the book.

Really sweet romance, great chemistry, and a story that certainly tugged at the heartstrings. This was a fantastic cast of characters, some you love, and some you love to hate. I really, really liked the evolution of the relationship between Lacey and Scott. If you're a dog person, you'll love Lacey's dog! Beers is an excellent writer and brings us another sweet and fun romance to add to the lesfic community!

4.5 Stars .‘Right Here Right Now’ is a slow-burning sweet romance between two very different women. Lacey is an accountant who lives her life to a plan, is predictable and does not like change. Enter Lacey, a marketing and design executive who is the complete opposite. Nevertheless they click. I enjoyed them getting to know each other and finding out about their different businesses and friends. The connection is sexy, emotional and very hot. I really wanted them to make it and Georgia Beers certainly knows how to pitch the ‘will they won’t they?’ question perfectly. Alicia surprised me more and was not the person I thought at the beginning. Lacey blossomed in her presence and this was my favourite element of the book. I would have liked a bit more of their story, what happened next. 4.5 Stars.

This is my second “opposites attract” romance in a row! What a treat! This is also my the first lesbian romance I’ve ever read (well, if you don’t count Kit Rocha’s Beyond series), and I think it was a lovely introduction.

I liked Lacey. Her life has two main focuses: her dog, Leo, and her job as an accountant and financial planner, so much so that she’s actually had past relationships fizzle because she works too much. Is she a bit boring? Yes, but I felt like I identified with her pretty well. I mean, not everyone is a globe-trotting rock star or model or chocolatier or whatever. It’s nice to have homebodies with office jobs get their HEAs, too! I liked Alicia as well, but found her harder to get a feel for. I’m not a fan of “live in the moment”-type people, in real life or in books, but she had enough balance due to the job that it wasn’t grating for me. She had some hot and cold moments that were initially annoying until more about her past was revealed, and then became more understandable. Also – Leo! I loved that dog. He definitely pushed this book up at least half a star for me!

The run-up to tax day as an accountant wasn’t the most scintillating reading ever, but I thought it gave me a good grasp of how committed Lacey was to her job and how much it consumes her life to the exclusion of everything else, and why a relationship with anyone, especially someone equally involved in her own business, would be difficult. After a good portion of the book, however, the plot takes a bit of a turn and goes in a completely unexpected direction. I was initially nonplussed by the whole thing, but on reflection, I think it did actually work within the frame of the larger plot.

One of my favorite things in the book was the reciprocity in this relationship. Often in “opposites attract” books, it feels like it’s always one partner who’s always giving and giving and giving. In this case, after the initial few times the extroverted Alicia persuades Lacey to go out with her, it turns more balanced. Alicia brings Lacey flowers and balloons on April 15th – a tax accountant’s favorite holiday – and then Lacey later returns the favor when Alicia is at a low point. I thought it was a really sweet example of “for better or worse,” and I think those actions are what really sold me on their relationship. When it comes down to it, they aren’t really, at the heart of it, that different, though. They’re both female small business openers who are driven and focused on their work – so much so that it does create a nice slow-burn romance that occurs over several months (no time for much more than a single drink or delivered take-out during tax season!). They are, quite simply, adorable together.

Without getting into spoilers, some of Alicia’s hot-and-cold behavior is a response to past trauma. Having experienced something similar to Alicia, I felt like it was handled well, for the most part, and her reactions were ones that I’ve had myself. I’ll bang my personal pet peeve drum and say that I don’t remember anyone, even her best friends, recommend she seek out counseling. Her response to some of it is pretty impactful on her work and life, and the fact that she (and Lacey) just power through it and don’t seek outside help smells a bit like the “just put on a happy face” uselessness. Also, the ending felt abrupt. I actually checked twice to make sure I wasn’t missing an epilogue or anything.

Overall, the sweet and adorable relationship was the highlight of this book for me. I’m definitely glad I chose this as my first foray into lesfic!

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

The detail of this book grabbed my early on. There were relatable characters, understandable frustrations, and an organic growth of emotion.

Some parts of the story seemed to be overly played up (looking at you Kyle), and relationships outside of the main one felt more like background filler than part of the story.

However, the relationship at the centre, and the detail of feelings expressed by our protagonist made this an enjoyable book to read.

A sweet, conventional romance from a strong author in the genre. The characters were interesting individuals, with idiosyncratic differences that created sufficient tension in the plot, but levels of chemistry that underscored their suitability for each other. I will continue to follow Ms. Beer's work.

Nice read. The author does well in her story description to the point that you can actually visualize each scene. Both the main and secondary characters are strong, likable and fully support the storyline. I would call this a page turner from beginning to end and would highly recommend to all.

I did not read description correctly before requesting it and realized that the theme and trope was not for me

3.5 stars

This is the first book I've read by Georgia Beers, and although it lagged in places (what story doesn't?) for the most part, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Despite not being a doggie person, Leo stole my heart. In an essence, he was the hero of the story.

I loved that these two ladies 'got each other', even though it was a longtime coming

Nascar Kyle -shame on you!!

Georgia Beers is one of my favorite lesfic authors, so as soon as a new book by her is available I must read it right away. As usual with her novels, the characters are likable and sweet and the romance develops at a nice steady pace, it doesn't feel rushed.

This book made me cry a bit (for me, that’s always a good sign). I liked that it wasn’t that predictable. Sure, we know the typical formula of a romance novel, and this one follows it to a T, but at the same time it surprised me quite a bit. That was refreshing.

I felt the ending was a bit sudden (maybe because I wanted to read more), but overall, I think it was a great story.
And now we wait for her next novel :)

weeeelllll, I have read all of georgia beers books and I reeeeally love them, BUT this one was a little light weight. cute, nice, and very predictable.....except for the accident, that was a surprise. you can easily read it in one day.
It also ended too soon. we needed one more chapter in their relationship.
Did Alicia fit in with this warm family?
many questions unanswered.

It was a fun love story to read... it had all the typical aspects of a romantic lesbian love story with all the ups and downs. The story itself was a nice read but nothing really Original - I still enjoyed it though and I liked both characters. All characters were very likable and relateable.

I could fall in love with both of these wonderful ladies and given how much I adore her books I could probably fall for Georgia Beers too! Georgia’s books are the epitome of romances, if falling in love, of finding your soul mate. She’s done it again with a totally heart warming story, with a cute doggie as the icing on the cake.

One more chapter or at least an epilogue. Read feels unfinished. Alicia Wright puts up a good front but she has personal issues that she thought she was able to ignore or address alone. Her outward appearance and personality is different from how she feels inside or deals with tough issues. Like the name of her business. Lacey Chamberlain is a women that has it all together because she is in control of her life or is she? This is a read that reminds the reader about living in the moment and not taking the people or what you have for granted.

I have finished this book and my sensation is that it has one chapter missing or at least an epilogue. The story is complete but a little bit more extended ending would have been much appreciated. The pace starts a bit slow but is somehow adequated, given the personality of Lacey that stars most of the book. Not only that, Lacey is also the narrator of the story, whereby is her point of view that guides us along the book. And as Alicia has a complicated personality, caused by some hard events in her life, some situations are confusing and difficult to understand. But this book has also some very romantic and tender moments that makes it worth to read.

I probably say this in all my reviews for Georgia's books but I'll say it again I am a big fan of her work. I can always rely on her to produce a book that I love to read with laughs. This book wasn't any different in that I enjoy the read and both the characters. The start was slow but as we continued with the book I started to get into the story.

I will say that one thing about Beers is that she produces reliable story lines and characters but doesn't wow me. I think I find that disappointing because I love her books but find as each one comes out I just want to be surprised and feel like she is stretching herself. Also often her books end too quickly for me I just wish she could give us a little more at the end.

Not my top Georgia Beers book, but certainly not a bad book. The main characters are fleshed out. Lacey's job as tax accountant did give me more angst then the romance angst. I was suffering more than she did during tax season. I just wanted April 15 to get there.
The plot twist at the end was predictable, saw it coming as soon as the person involved was introduced. I liked the dog Leo's role. Looks like the author got a thing with cute dogs going by her latest books :)

The author did manage to keep me guessing about when the main characters would get together or if someone would get between them. Little angst that gets resolved quickly but dramatically. The end is a bit rushed tho and with some unresolved side things. Besides that, it's a solid book. Typical lesfic that makes a nice weekend read.
