your life isn’t the one you expect, but he’s the one you need.
Cass Jensen needs an actor for her made for TV movie. The previous
actor dropped out, leaving her stranded. Her savior shows up looking
sinfully sexy and totally right for the part, but what part is she
auditioning him for? Her movie or her bed?
Logan Malone needs an acting job and fast. With his string of broken
hearts, his professional life lies in shambles. To resurrect his
career, he must audition for a television role which could be the
job of a lifetime. That is, if he can work with distraction and Cass
is a major distraction with a heart of gold. Is their budding
relationship enough to survive separation, lies, and a couple zany
fans?

Excerpt
Logan’s hand caressed her shoulder.
“Can I help you finish? You and your friend should be sipping
margaritas and ordering the lawn boy around, not sweating yourselves
to death.”
She raised her brows. “You thought being a movie star meant you were
entitled, that’s what.”
A wolfish grin curled his lips. Flecks of gold lit his hazel eyes,
sending a fresh rush of lust to her core. He leaned in very close to
her ear. “Maybe.”
She took a fortifying breath and fought the urge to taste him. Damn
that cologne. Her heart skipped a beat. She donned her best sultry
smile. Two could play his game. “Really?”
He nodded. She licked her dry lips. How could one man be so
irritating and damn sexy at the same time? She scooted close enough
so her bare knee brushed against his denim-clad thigh. Firm muscles
without an ounce of fat. Ooh. “Do you want to explore?”
“Uh-huh.”
Cass took his hand, teasing his palm with her fingers and caressing
the creases in his skin. His voice went from friendly to sexy in an
instant, making her thighs quiver with excitement. “Cass.”
“Yes.” She bit her bottom lip and filled his hand. “Okay.
Explore to your little heart’s content.”
His eyes opened wide before he scrunched his brows. “Keys?”
Cass grinned. “Yep.” His blank expression turned into a frown. “For
what?”
She patted his thigh and stood up. “The mower. Tell me when you
finish. I’ve got an acre in the back that’s got your name on it.”

"Wendi Zwaduk’s, debut novel heats up the pages with a spicy plot,
steamy love scenes, and a smokin’-hot male lead!" ~ Debbie

"Right
Where I need To Be
is a love story with lots of heart. Seductive and steamy, I was
drawn in from the very first word. Wendi Zwaduk has created likable
characters, with a hero to die for. I want to know where I’d find a
Logan Malone of my own!" ~ Kiss Carson, Romance Author
"Wendi Zwaduk has given us the
absolutely classic romance novel in
Right Where I Need To Be.
The charming, handsome hero, Logan Malone (okay, forget handsome,
he’s actually red-hot…) is also a successful star, although he has a
rather endearing touch of self-doubt. The heroine, Cass, is also
full of splendid emotional strife, and the perfect pair engage in an
early self-struggle to develop trust in one another. Both are
attracted from the first, yet neither would have believed it of the
other.
Neither of the main characters is exactly as the other perceives, as
is often the case in this type of romance. The challenge of course
is the predictability; Ms. Zwaduk just manages to avoid this trap by
focusing readers so completely on the inner turmoil of both Logan
and then Cass. We’re caught rooting for them, even though we do see
and believe so well in the doubts each of them suffers. There are
good reasons for the worries, as shown in moments of memory, and in
some interaction with others. Cass has a tough personality; she’s
determined, even when events make her sad…while Logan seems the
closer to defeat, and we will so long for her to reach out to him.
Past events and character history crop up from time to time, but
bring so much emotional angst that they slide into the picture
without even momentarily slowing the action; in fact, the past often
heightens the tension.
Though the emotions can get intense, there is also subtle humor
throughout. Cass‘s comments, especially, often include a quip or wry
statement. It’s always just the right seasoning to lighten the
feeling and brighten the dialogue from time to time. The
Hollywood-esque world of casting, photo shoots, scripts and
bling-lifestyles (not to mention love scenes) evokes a wonderful
aura. We struggle to sense whether Logan and Cass can find a true
connection among many light or meaningless relationships, and
whether or not they can even manage to truly communicate with so
many distractions around them.
Things only become more complicated as we go forward, as it takes
quite a cast of characters to complete all the action in
Right Where I Need to Be.
Secondary characters, from Nikita at the casting to Dex the ex, are
well-developed and interesting. Even relatively minor roles, such as
support characters like Darrell, show a measure of human
believability.
Fans of the hot and zippy romance won’t be disappointed in this
super new novel. Ms. Zwaduk gets to things like ‘innermost desires'
with the speed of light: never mind waiting to be hooked by the
first chapter, readers will be thoroughly engaged by the end of the
first couple pages." ~~ Snapdragon from Long and
