Riley O'Brien & Co. #1
All the Right Places
The first in a brand new contemporary romance series starring the men and women who are determined to keep the billion-dollar denim dynasty, Riley O’Brien & Co, on top, but aren’t about to let success stand in the way of love…
Amelia Winger is a small-town girl with big dreams of becoming a successful designer. So when she gets a gig designing accessories for denim empire Riley O’Brien & Co., it’s a dream come true. Amelia can handle the demanding job, but she isn’t quite prepared for sexy CEO Quinn O’Brien. She’s doing her best to keep things professional, but the attraction sparking between them makes it personal. And so does the secret project she's working on behind his back...
Quinn’s not interested in the new accessories, but he is interested in the woman designing them. Amelia is smart, sexy, and talented, and he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about her since they met. Mixing business and pleasure isn’t wise, but that doesn’t stop him from coming up with excuses to spend time with her. He thinks he understands the risk he’s taking when he gets involved with Amelia. But he doesn’t know he’s risking a lot more than his heart.

Derrière. Ass. Back porch. Badonkadonk. Rump. No matter what you called it, the butt was Quinn O’Brien’s favorite part of the human body.
I REALLY enjoyed this book!!!
It’s always refreshing to have a heroine who has the commitment and love issues, and I really liked Amelia. She had a very tough childhood with a mother that was basically a slut, and who told her the only reason she didn’t have an abortion was because she couldn’t afford it. So Amelia wasn’t used to anyone caring for her, or loving her, except for her best friend Ava Grace. Together they made themselves a family, supporting each other’s dreams, and being there for each other. Amelia doesn’t trust anyone else, and she’s determined to have her big dream of becoming a successful designer become reality. What she doesn’t need is the attraction she feels for the sexy CEO Quinn O’Brien of the denim empire Riley O’Brien. She needs to keeps things professional between them, especially because she’s working with his sister on a secret project behind his back, one that might just cost him his position in the company.
“You make me crazy. I don’t know why, but you do. I do crazy things when I’m around you.”
Quinn was a really great hero. I loved how being around Amelia made him lose control, how he kept saying and doing things that was out of character for him. He’s loyal, and sweet and very sexy. He’s trying so hard to keep the company thriving under his command, and so worried that he might fail. He knows that he shouldn’t mix business with pleasure, but the way Amelia makes him feel, makes him prepared to take the risk. But the risk might just be more than just losing his heart.
He wanted to tell her that he would make up for all the love she hadn’t had growing up and all the pain she’d experienced. He wanted to promise that he would give her all the love she needed now. He wanted to assure her that he would be her family.
I really liked the romance in this book. I’m a sucker for instant attraction, and the chemistry between Amelia and Quinn was fantastic. I loved how Quinn pursued Amelia, how sweet he was with her, and how dirty he liked talking in the bedroom. It was wonderful watching these two fall in love.
I really liked the dynamics of the plot and the whole family business and how their empire worked. I’m not a fan of drama in a book, and I was a bit concerned that the author would take the secret that Amelia was keeping from Quinn, and make it OTT, but I loved how she handled it. Quinn’s brother Cal was wonderful, and I really can’t wait to read his book. But I didn’t like his sister Teagan, and her complete disregard of how her actions would hurt Quinn.
This was my first book by this author, and it definitely won’t be my last. If you like sweet contemporary romances with a besotted hero, and a sweet but broken heroine, then this is definitely the book for you.

Goodreads provided me with an ARC of this story, which Jenna Sutton kindly inscribed, and I must say I enjoyed reading it very much.
The build up from instant sexual attraction to hot nookie came at a nice pace, and was believable within the framework of the story and situation. These are important to me when reading within the romance genre, I prefer some actual story with a little sex here and there, not the opposite. This is definitely a contemporary romance, with enough pop culture references sprinkled throughout to date it to 2015.
The sex was hot, between two sexually responsible adult partners, and the romance was sweet. I sniffled and misted up at what I feel were the appropriate spots. I was amused by Quinn's obsession with tushies - understandable given his family business is covering them with denim.
It took me a chapter or so to warm to the hero, Quinn, but I immediately liked Amelia. The rich guy meets poor girl trope works with the plot, I never found myself snorting in disbelief over any of the plot elements. The author obviously did her research into the clothing industry to make the situations feasible.
I look forward to reading more about the O'Brien siblings and their friends in the rest of the series, which I will be picking up. I gave All the Right Places an extra star because the author did some impressive world-building for a new series, which drew me in.

So lucky to have had a chance to read this book and get a sneak peek at the Riley O'Brien & Co. series. If you think this one is hot, keep going - it just keeps getting better. This debut by Jenna Sutton puts her on the list with top contemporary authors. Mark my words, you'll see Ms. Sutton on the NYT list with every launch.

Rated 3.5 - Can a denim dynasty CEO and a budding fashion designer work their way to a partnership of the heart? From San Francisco to Nashville, this couple hopes that love equals forgiveness.
Quinn O'Brien makes quite an impression in the first chapter when he's thinking about the butt of the woman on the escalator in front of him and how the jeans fit. Of course, we realize right away that he's not just being a guy who likes a rear-end view, but the acting CEO of a denim empire, Riley O'Brien & Co. He and his siblings have been trained to appreciate the way a pair of jeans molds to a body. Even though the woman's shape and red curly hair attracts him, he can't help but be annoyed that she's not wearing Rileys.
Quinn's sister Teagan has been pushing to revamp the women's division and Quinn has been hesitant due to the risk. Her latest tactic brings in Amelia Winger, an accessory designer for an up-and-coming country music star, to design some accessories for Riley's women's division. When Quinn is introduced to Amelia in a surprise meeting, he can think of nothing else to say when he realizes it's the same woman from the escalator, other than "nice ass". He immediately corrects himself by telling Amelia it's nice to meet her, but Amelia swears she heard him quietly say something else, and chalks it up to her nerves about this meeting that will affect her career.
Teagan maneuvers Quinn and Amelia to spend more time together, observing their initial attraction to one another. But can Amelia ignore her professionalism and sleep with the boss? Especially since she's planning more with Teagan for the company than they've told Quinn?
Initially, I wasn't impressed with Quinn as he seemed a little full of himself. However, he shows his sensitive side when he not only buys Amelia a juicer to use during her stay in San Francisco, but also purchases three bags of vegetables and fruit that are perfect for juicing. It demonstrates his consideration for what Amelia would want, rather than just throwing some groceries together.
Amelia lives a quiet life in a farmhouse outside of Nashville with her best friend who is a new country music star. Amelia's family background makes her very afraid of loving anyone. The only person she truly loves and considers family is her best friend, Ava Grace. Quinn overwhelms Amelia but she can't resist his charm. Can she risk lying by omission to Quinn when they become intimate?
Will Quinn and Amelia enjoy each other for the time they are working together, or will their relationship become a partnership of the heart?
Quinn likes to embarrass Amelia with his forthright approach to sex, and he is quite the talker, but since he only has eyes for her, Amelia becomes more open when they're together. Amelia doesn't drink alcohol or say inappropriate words and tries to remain the good girl, but Quinn is persistent and brings her out of her shell. They are fun together and their love story, although it is rocky at times, gradually grows, but will they be smart enough to overlook their differences in time to make it work?
Although this book occurs in San Francisco and Nashville, I didn't get a sense of the setting from the storyline. ALL THE RIGHT PLACES is a pure relationship novel without much secondary plot to drive it, but the characters are fun and interesting so it makes up for the lack of detail in the locale. The descriptions of their homes are detailed amply to easily envision them in my mind as I was reading.
The fashion industry from a blue jeans company's point of view is an interesting backdrop for a series, which is what drew me to this book to review. I love my denim! The characters are wealthy business owners and used to getting their own way, but because love has eluded them, it's fun to see them fall hard for the one who captures their heart. Quinn's sister Teagan's story is next in book two, COMING APART AT THE SEAMS, due out in December 2015. Love that title and from what little I've read about Teagan, it seems to suit what we can expect from her relationship before she gets her happy-ever-after. There is also a hint at Cal's future, Quinn and Teagan's brother, so I'm guessing his story will be next?
A June 2015 release, ALL THE RIGHT PLACES is author Jenna Sutton's debut book in the RILEY O'BRIEN & CO. series. It's sexy and will appeal to those who enjoy relationship stories with erotic language between a couple who are growing in love for one another. If you enjoy stories about a close-knit family in business together, with future stories about the siblings, then put the RILEY O'BRIEN & CO. series by Jenna Sutton on your wish list.

4.5 Stars!
Growing up in a small town, Amelia Winger had big dreams of becoming a successful designer but her lack of a formal education has always been a barrier until she gets the opportunity to design accessories for the famous denim brand, Riley O’Brien & Co. However, she is not prepared for Quinn O’Brien, the sexy CEO and the attraction between them. She is determined to achieve her dreams and despite her fight to keep things professional, the attraction between them is too hard to resist.
I loved everything about this book! The characters, the romance between Amelia and Quinn, the family dynamics between Quinn and his siblings, the family history, everything! Amelia is smart, intuitive about fashion and very independent. Quinn on the other hand is a complex man, torn between the weight of his heritage and his duty to uphold and improve what his ancestors built. Quinn has devoted his life to Riley O’Brien and Co. until Amelia enters the picture and now he finds his attention divided between the company and his desire for home and hearth.
Sometimes, I find myself liking one character more than the other but in this case, I actually liked both Quinn and Amelia. Amelia is a mix of sweet and confident with a dash of insecure while Quinn is a delicious and charming hunk of man! I love the gradual build-up of both the romance (which is very sweet, by the way) and the sexual tension between Amelia and Quinn. I love the mix of sweet and spicy in their relationship. The history of the Riley O’Brien & Co brand is a very central part of this story and I love that it was well-researched but not overdone. Family is also at the core of Quinn and Amelia’s story. Quinn has a wonderful family, which is something Amelia, whose only family is her best friend, has always wanted.
I’m very vocal about not liking a lot of angst in my books and I love that there was very little of that in this book. Issues were quickly resolved and both Amelia and Quinn were very mature and worked to make their relationship successful.
All the Right Places is a slam-dunk start to a series and Jenna Sutton has just become one of my favorite authors. For a first book in a series, All the Right Places does not suffer from information overload. In fact, even the hints of the upcoming romances of the other siblings are so subtle that you could blink and miss them!

I’m always on the lookout for new authors, especially those who write contemporaries since those are my favorite kind of romances. I’m so glad that I decided to take a chance on Jenna Sutton because I loved everything about All the Right Places. Based on the book’s description, I had high hopes, and it ended up being even better than I had hoped. It had a lot of unique elements that differentiated it from other contemporary romances out there. I thought the whole premise of All the Right Places sounded interesting, particularly the jeans company, and I’m a huge fan of workplace romances. I also liked the San Francisco setting (I am so tired of small-town romances), and the amount of heat in the book. I prefer sex scenes on the hotter end of the spectrum, and All the Right Places delivered. I thought the interactions between the hero, Quinn, and the heroine, Amelia, were entertaining and definitely sexy. The romance progressed at a good pace – neither too fast nor too slow. Quinn is one of the best heroes I’ve read in a long time. There was just so much to like about him, especially his love for his family and how seriously he took his responsibilities for his family company. There’s a scene right before he and Amelia have sex for the first time that shows what a good, decent guy he is. And Amelia is so likable, even though she’s keeping secrets from Quinn for most of the book. I really felt her emotional struggle as she fell for Quinn, and some of her internal thoughts made me laugh out loud. I enjoyed the secondary characters, too, even Quinn’s sister, Teagan, who plays the “bad guy” in this book. I loved the way the book ended, too. I am one of those readers who feels cheated if I don’t have an epilogue, and the epilogue in All the Right Places is truly one of the best I’ve ever read. I’m adding Jenna Sutton to my list of must-read authors, and I’ve already pre-ordered the next book in the series, Coming Apart at the Seams. I just wish I didn’t have to wait months to read Teagan’s story.

Thrilled to get an advanced copy of this book. Jenna Sutton has crafted a sexy, fun romance that will have you ignoring your chores, children, and dinner until you finish. The characters are drawn so well, the pacing is perfect, and the plot is modern and realistic.
Amelia Winger has worked hard to climb every rung on the ladder of success. She's not going to let Quinn O'Brien derail her ambitions. But Quinn is hot, smart, and determined to keep the Riley O'Brien & Co. reputation for quality at the top of the industry on his watch. I fell head over heels for Amelia and Quinn. Amelia is a strong, independent heroine and Quinn is a delicious alpha male. They strike sparks from the first time Quinn lays eyes on Amelia's.... well.... let's just say he's determined to get her out of her jeans and into his... Riley O'Brien jeans, that is.
The secondary characters are fantastic and I'm counting the minutes until I can get my hands on Coming Apart at the Seams, the next book in the series.

Turn on the A/C and your fans, cause this story is H.O.T.
But it is not just lust filled sex escape, there is also so much admiration, affection, and tenderness in the relationship between Amelia and Quinn. The love story is described so well, with everything that's part of it, joy, devotion, charm, agony, pain and despair.
The O'Brien family has so much warmth and care between them. The siblings are tight, and they take care of each other. And when Quinn's sister, Teagan's, betrayal comes to the light, it hurts even more. Teagan was not easy to like, with her bullying, back-stabbing ways. I hope she will make up for it in the future installments.
The jeans business was intriguing, and the company dynamics interesting. The story is well written, it has a lovely flow, and it's hard to put down. It is pure entertainment, laced with humor and sass, with characters who are strong and complex, perfect summer read, that made me want to go shopping for a new pair of jeans

Was lucky enough to get to read this one before it hits store shelves. Readers will love this debut novel. It's well written with a lot of heat and a wonderful family dynamic. I can't wait to read more in this series.

All the Right Places by Jenna Sutton is her debut novel, which is the 1st book in her Riley O’Brien & Co. series. This was an enjoyable sexy romance, and written very well by Jenna Sutton, which was very impressive, as it is her debut novel. I will be reading her next book in this fun series.
The focus of this series centers on Riley O’Brien & Co denim empire. Quinn O’Brien is our hero and immediately caught our attention, as he waits for the elevator to bring him to his office. While he waits, he stares at the backside of a young redhead; after all that is his favorite part of the human body. :) His company does sell jeans, and the perfect fitting makes Riley O’Brien at the top of their field. But Quinn is not too happy to see that this nice butt does not have the Riley O’Brien label.
Amelia Winger is our heroine, and I thought she was great. Amelia is working on becoming a successful designer, and has been offered a position to design accessories for Riley O’Brien to help increase sales for the women’s division. Quinn’s sister, Teagan has been after him to allow her to change the face of jeans for woman, which has become a disaster. The men’s jeans are perfect, but they are not good for women. Amelia agrees with Teagan, and she not only will design new accessories, she will secretly design new woman’s jeans, which Teagan will push at the right time.
But Amelia doesn’t plan on falling for the sexy Quinn, and does everything she can to avoid him at all costs. Quinn can’t resist Amelia, and in a short time, they secretly have an affair that is sizzling all the way through. There was a bit of erotic in their romance, which was so well done, and I loved Quinn and Amelia together.
Amelia rightfully worries that once Quinn finds out about her working with his sister, she will lose him. What happens when Quinn discovers the deception?
This was such a wonderful delightful, steamy, and fun romantic story. All the secondary characters were great, and added nicely to the story. The background of the denim business was very well done, and the family oriented storyline was great. I found myself totally immersed into this fun story, enjoying it all, which I read it in one day. Jenna Sutton has done such a great job in writing this wonderful romance, and if this is her debut novel, she certainly has a wonderful career ahead of her, and I’ll be there reading her books as they are released. I wholly recommend you to read All the Right Places, as it was a fun, and sexy romance.

Series Review:
What a fantastic new series that I cannot wait to read more of!!
In All the Right Places, Quinn has a lot of responsibility weighing on his shoulders and while he takes these responsibilities and his job and his family seriously he’s beginning to realize that something or someone is missing in his life.
Amelia has spent so much of her life trying not to make wrong choices that she has shut herself off from the world. When she and Quinn are thrown together by a scheming O’Brien sister they not only find a chemistry that is off the charts but they find that missing piece in the other and now have to figure out what they will sacrifice to keep it!
The misunderstandings and miscommunication tore at my heart for these two and I was so happy to read the wrap up! and as a bonus I had the ARC for book 2 loaded and waiting on my Kindle!!
Coming Apart at the Seams is Teagan and Nick’s story. In All the Right Places we saw brief glimpses of Nick and what we saw of Teagan kind of left me on the fence as to whether I would like her or not… it’s a sign of great writing for an author to take a character who made some questionable moves in book 1 and make me root for her, cry for her and finally applaud her!
I loved Nick from the start and when he opened himself up and decided that Teagan was the one, he went full force! Little did he know the uphill fight that he would have and my heart was so torn between supporting Teagan in her battle to keep Nick out (you will have to read the story to know more – not giving this twist away) but also wanting to see the healing that both of the characters needed to truly love one another!
and here I go again talking about fictional characters as if they are real… I love when a book/series/author draws that kind of response from me! This series and author are a true gem in the Contemporary Romance genre!

I was very fortunate to get a chance to read this debut before it hits the book stores in June 2015.
Let me first start by saying that I don't usually hand out a lot of five star ratings. A five star rating is a serious statement. A five star book must have everything from great characters, a believable story line, fantastic dialogue and seamless pacing. The hero must be memorable and the heroine must be someone I can cheer for from start to finish.
All the Right Places, the first book in Jenna Sutton's Riley O'Brien & Co. series, had all of those five star worthy traits!
From the opening chapter to the epilogue, the characterization was done exceptionally well. The dialogue never seemed forced and the sex scenes were definitely of the hot variety. The reader will see the evolution of Quinn and Amelia's relationship which was very natural and believable. There was never a point in the book where I thought the author was getting ahead of herself and trying to force me into believing that the two main characters were falling in love. Motivations stayed consistent and true to the individual characters and the plot. The cast of secondary characters was fantastic and I can't wait to see what future books in this series will reveal!
I found myself torn with wanting to read faster to find out what would happen next and telling myself to slow down so I wouldn't finish the book too quickly!
This book was five stars for sure. Definitely give Jenna Sutton and her debut novel a try. You won't be disappointed!

All the Right Places had all the right THINGS to make it one excellent read. Despite being the first in the series, this isn't my first Riley O'Brien & Co. book. I've read and enjoyed the others, and was very keen to see where it all started for these siblings...
Armed with a little knowledge of Quinn O'Brien and Amelia Winger, I dove in, excited and a little apprehensive. And then I proceeded to read through, engaged and immersed, until the very last page, completely in love with this couple.
How could I not be? They were so well sketched, they felt real. They were sweet and sexy, and though I KNEW they'd end up together, I still felt my heart in my throat as Amelia's secrets came out—and cut Quinn down in the process.
Which, FYI, tore at me. Because Quinn was solid, sexy, smart and oh, so talkative. He was as alpha as he was soft-centered, and it was that balance that made me all swoony and moony-eyed for him. While I liked Amelia—and felt she was exactly what Quinn needed—this book belonged to Quinn. On his broad shoulders, this book became ALL THE THINGS I had hoped it would be.
Yes, it was frustrating (in a good way), but it was also incredibly light-hearted and flirty; a happy kind of book that left me with a soft heart and a wide smile. And a wish that there will be more of these books and these characters... ~ Beth, 4.5 stars

I had the honor to read the "working draft" of this novel and I can not wait to read the final draft.
I'm curious to see if the feelings I experienced with the first reading will be the same in the published version.
*************Update************
Finished reading the published version. I had to wait because my mother borrowed it before I could start it.
It was just as fun as I remembered it being. I still loved all the characters and I love the interaction between the primary and secondary characters. In my first reading the secondary characters stood out more and now the main characters were front and center.
I still love it as much as I did the first time. I read romances to escape the real world and reading this novel by a lake on vacation was perfect.
This book will be on my list of recommendations at work.

I was looking for something new from someone different, and I am so glad I picked this up on impulse at my local bookstore. It was such a yummy read!
I really enjoyed the fact that both the hero and the heroine are so conflicted by their desire for each other while simultaneously wanting to keep things professional. They have a lot on the line... especially Quinn. I was on edge because I just kept waiting to see if he would find out Amelia's secret since he was so reluctant to get romantically involved. I desperately wanted them to live happily ever after. I love that I felt so personally invested in their relationship.
I am REALLY looking forward to reading Jenna Sutton's other books. She may just be my new favorite contemporary romance author!

Jenna Sutton is AMAZING
I can't even tell you how much I loved this book it was I can't put it down no-one talk to me what do you mean I have to go to work kind of novel! Quinn was your perfect hero he was sexy, intelligent, funny, and well pretty much the perfect man if there ever was one. I feel in love with his family although I'm holding off on my opinion on his sister Teagan until I read her book because she isn't shown in the best of light with her actions. Amelia was a sweet heroine who I think brought out the best in Quinn. She is extremely reserved because of her past but once you understand where she comes from you can't blame her. This was a sweet and hot romance that I know I'll definitely read over and over I can't wait for the next book!

I stumbled across this book when I saw a reviewer mention it, and I was immediately hooked by the setup - a romance set in San Francisco with a hero who's the heir of a denim empire (think: hot men in jeans!) It didn't hurt that the heroine is a redhead (I might be partial, go figure!) :)
This was a really fun read. It had plenty of heat and also lots of heart. I really felt for Amelia with her struggles to overcome her past and achieve her dreams. Quinn took me a little longer to warm up to, but he won me over soon enough. This book also had a really vibrant cast of supporting characters, and I look forward to getting to know them better in the rest of the series!

Very excited about this new author. Typically I am not a romance novel reader, but picked this up and read it and am now hooked! Can't wait to read the next books in the series.
I felt the characters were well developed, complicated enough, without too much angst, interesting and likeable. The book moved at a good pace and was I was certainly rooting for Quinn and Amelia to get together. The sex scenes were steamy but the book was so well done, they were just an added bonus.
Watch for Jenna Sutton- I have a feeling she will be a best selling author!

All the Right Places is a unique little romance, in a setting that is a bit different from most. It gives the story a fresh feel and that in itself was refreshing. The chemistry between our two leads is combustible, the slow build makes for a fabulous romance!
Hot Alpha Male? √
Strong Feisty Heroine? √
Playful Banter? √
Swoony Sexy Times? √√
Yup! Everything I need in a good romance! I loved it!
THIS NEEDS TO BE A HALLMARK MOVIE ALREADY!!

June 5, 2015The hero really turned me off in the first chapter or two. He so blatantly sexualized the heroine who was coming in for her first business meeting. Tells her she has a nice ass. When she says she needs to work out of town and demands to know if she has a boyfriend at home. So unprofessional and just - out of place. Maybe if they had known each other but they were strangers.

I purchased the ebook as a freebie in August 2018 and I received the audiobook later in the year in exchange for an honest review. I took advantage of Amazon’s whisper sync feature by listening/reading this title.
Narration: Ava Lucas narrated this title and I enjoyed her narration. She captured the voices of each character well, which made it easy to distinguish between whom spoke at any given time.
Characters:
Amelia is designer, hired by Quinn’s sister to revamp the women’s department of Riley O’Brien and Co. Quinn believes she is there to design accessories. Amelia had a hard childhood. She grew up in an abusive home. Neglected by her mother and had no clue as to her father’s identity. She only had her best friend Ava Grace on whom she could rely. It would have been good if the author had expanded on Amelia’s childhood.
Quinn is the opposite of Amelia in that he grew up in a privileged environment. Currently, the CEO of the company as his father has taken ill. At times, he feels overwhelmed by the situation but he is determined to do what is right for the company. He faces many obstacles from persons within the company who are resistant to change.
The attraction between Quinn and Amelia is raw and passionate. Amelia tried fighting her attraction to Quinn knowing she was deceiving him, but he did not make it easy for her to keep her distance. He is determined to be with her.
I have to admit Amelia’s hot and cold actions proved frustrating. She wanted to be with Quinn, but her deception got in the way. It would make things easier if she came clean. When she decided to come clean, and he reacted negatively, she was disappointed. Seriously, did she really expect the man to say that is ok all is forgiven, please? SMH. These heroines can be so dimwitted at times.
Initially I was not a big fan if Quinn although I felt bad for him in regards to the deception perpetuated by his sister Teagan and by Amelia. I understood his sister‘s desire to take the company to the next level, but the steps she took to achieve this was downright horrible. As the story progressed, his sensitive side came to the forefront.
Now when these two finally got together, it was not at all, what I expected. Yes, there were some sexy moments, but I had a difficult time connecting with them as a couple. Their relationship was based on sex rather than on emotions.
Secondary Characters
I am intrigued by the supporting characters and would love to learn more about them. I got a little taste of Teagan’s personality and possible romantic involvement. I would be interested to read her story as long as denim is not mentioned.
Story
I had a difficult time getting through the story. The story was built around manufacturing of denim while the romance took a back seat. I am not interested in how jeans are made; all I need to know is that they fit. As a result, I found myself skimming pages.
Conclusion/Recommendation
I wanted to like this one, but it was just an average read for me. If love your romance steamy and do not mind graphic description of the bedroom scenes, then you like All the Right Places.

My Review:
Right off the bat, you should know...I gave this book 4 stars and I had reasons for that, BUT (and this is a huge but) this is the first book in this series and it could seriously set up to be one of my favorite contemporary romance series.
This first book is about Quinn and Amelia. Quinn is one of three siblings who are the legacy heirs of Riley O'Brien & Company. This is a jean company...think Levi Strauss and you get the idea. Quinn is poised to take over as CEO since his father has been battling cancer for three years. It's not an easy thing to step into because his decisions could make or break the company and cost millions of dollars and affect thousands of employees. That's a LOT of pressure.
Part of the cause of that pressure has been the floundering women's division within the company which has not kept up with market changes. Quinn's sister, Teagan, has been pushing hard to make changes there, but Quinn is ready to fold the entire division...something that would be a mistake since women rule the clothing market. She convinces Quinn to bring Amelia into the company to try to expand and design accessories to help push the women's line. What Quinn doesn't know is that Teagan and Amelia have a secret deal. Amelia plans to revamp the ENTIRE line without Quinn knowing or approving.
Of course, you see where this is setting up. Amelia's lying. Quinn isn't going to handle that well. It's a good premise set within the jean manufacturing world. I loved that aspect of it. I'm from West Texas where most the cotton for Levi's denim is grown. My college degree is in Clothing & Textiles from Texas Tech and part of my education was getting to go see that denim manufactured. As a result, this story hit all my hot-buttons for what I like. And I like that it's a setting that's never been done before...at least not that I know of. I thought it was incredibly creative in that aspect. And the three siblings on the precipice of taking over a company that has such a deep history is great. I enjoyed all three of those characters and am definitely looking forward to reading all their stories.
The book, overall, was incredibly enjoyable. It did take a little bit for me to get into the story, but I think that was more my life the week I read the book, rather than the story. Amelia and Quinn were extremely sexy together. They have some incredible chemistry and it definitely boils off the page in some great sex scenes.
The visuals were fabulous all the way around. Amelia is described like Merida from the Disney movie and I loved that and her red corkscrew curls. I loved the glimpses we got to see of her job and the creative aspects to it. (I mentioned that was my major in school, right? Seriously, I loved that part.) But I also really liked the depth of the story about Quinn's stress over this job. Can you imagine taking over that legacy? If you destroy it, how could you ever live with yourself? Serious stress.
We also get a really good glimpse of Teagan's upcoming story with Quinn's best friend, Nick. He's on the verge of retiring as an NFL receiver, but he's also a model for the O'Brien jeans line. There are definitely some secrets happening there, but huge sparks, too. I cannot wait for their story.
I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for an honest review, but I will be buying a print copy for my keeper shelf.

All the Right Places is the first book in a new contemporary romance series, called Riley O'Brien & Co. I loved this book. I don't want to call it a book slump, but I have been reading a lot of 3 star books lately. Books that are fine and good reads and all that, but I just didn't love them. All the Right Places was the first book that I have read in a week or two that made me feel the tingles of excitement while reading. And not just because the romance was great- which it was!, but because the overall story was great. The Riley O'Brien & Co. series is one that I will definitely be continuing!
The romance between Amelia and Quinn is so rockin'. It is one of instant attraction and lots of slow and torturous unresolved sexual tension. It was just so much fun watching Jenna Sutton draw out the URST scenes between these two. And the story is told in their alternating points of view, sometimes switching back and forth within the same chapter. I thought that added to the tension between them. Amelia is an up and coming designer and so far she has focused on accessories. She is just what the iconic jeans brands needs. I loved her secret plan with Quinn's sister initially to modernize and revamp the women's jeans. I thought this was such a relate bale problem for the company to have too. I feel like it is so much easier to get great fitting guys clothes than it is women's jeans.
This is going to be a great contemporary romance series. You can just tell. The characters are all so developed and realistic, and the romantic pairings have you dying to read more about them. I love Quinn and Amelia. Each of them was holding back from the other for their own reasons, but you could just tell that they wouldn't be able to resist for long. It made reading All the Right Places so much fun. Every time I turned the page, I kept thinking "are they going to get together now?" "or now?" If you like tension filled and chemistry charged romance, this is the series for you. I want more of Riley O'Brien & Co. right now!

A man who only wears jeans…and wears them well?!?!?! Yee Haw!
Amelia reminded me of the interview I saw of the Stella and Dot CEO…she is the kind of woman that other women would love to be friends with and would love for her to dress them up! Quinn is bit rigid and yet when he sees Amelia, he is ready to throw out his “no office romance” policy in exchange for some hot lovin’. But like most romance stories, there needs to be that bit of angst. For these two it is Quinn’s sister’s plan to revamp the whole women’s line at Riley O’Brien & Co. From the first few chapters, you just knew that that little gem was gonna come back and bite someone in their delicious denim behind!
I love the struggle though…Quinn struggling to be his own man and his own type of CEO, while Amelia was struggling to find who she was as an artist, a woman and a lover. I really enjoyed this story and the side characters…totally looking forward to a certain football player and Quinn’s sister hooking up in book #2 (hoping). Great start to a series…check this one out this summer. Enjoy!

I could not put this book down. I ignored all of my responsibilities at home! The sex scenes made me tingly and my husband benefited greatly!
I loved the sexual tension between Quinn and Amelia. The struggle between remaining professional but falling in love with a colleague is so realistic, I could feel the turmoil.
I loved Amelia. She was a genuine heroine, someone real women could identify with. She was smart, funny, and did not have a “perfect” body. It was easy to see why Quinn fell for her.
Quinn is one of my favorite heroes. He is irresistible! He is such a strong character. What sets him apart from other heroes that I have read is that he thinks and acts like a real guy. It is refreshing to read about a hero who loves his family, respects his heritage and employees, and had a good childhood.
Jenna Sutton has become one of my favorite romance authors. I can't wait for the next installment of the Riley O’Brien and Co. series!

Cute start to a new series
All the right places is a cute start to a new series.
The author does a good job drawing the reader in and connecting with the characters.
Quinn and Amelia started out as friends but soon realized that they meant more to each other and began their secret affair.
They had to work through trust issues and deception, but in the end this couple realized that love was most important.

I'm an avid reader and am always looking for new authors. Jenna Sutton did NOT disappoint! All the Right Places is steamy, romantic and a fantastic debut novel. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was well written and I loved the characters and story-line. I cannot wait for the next book in this series!

This was one hot, and steamy book. I could not put it down. I can't wait to read about the other O'Brien & Co. siblings.

5 Star review of All The Right Places by Jenna Sutton
Audio Review:
Jenna Sutton is a new author to me and I have no idea why that is. Quinn is the CEO of Riley O’Brien, a Jean company and as such he is a workaholic doing his best to make the family business a success.
When Amelia is hired to design accessories for the business by his sister, Quinn is against the idea, particularly as he is immediately attracted to her.
There were times that Quinn and his sexist remarks really annoyed me; what redeemed him in my eyes was how he fell hard and deep for Amelia.
Unbeknownst to Quinn, Amelia has an arrangement with his sister which is in opposition to Quinn’s future plans for the company. Amelia being equally attracted knows that she should avoid personal involvement with Quinn at all costs but finally gives in to temptation.
What will happen when the truth is finally revealed?
Ava Lucas did a fabulous job of narrating the characters in a variety of voices and this absolutely enhanced my listening enjoyment.
