Where I Want to Be: No Ordinary Love Affair

Rate this book
Bobbi Williams is the type of woman that does everything by the book. That's how she was raised. Coming from a loving big family, one of her many hopes and dreams is to have a big family of her own as well one day. That's where her boyfriend of five years comes into play. Tyriq St. Clair is smooth and fine as they come. When he first got with Bobbi, she was the girl of his dreams. What is a man to do after five years of being with a woman you're no longer interested in? Tyriq loves Bobbi, but he's no longer in love with her.

Over the past few years, Bobbi has noticed the change in Tyriq. Making plans and him canceling on her is nothing new so when he pulls out of their Valentine's Day plans, Bobbi decides to let her hair down and go out with her bestie, Carmelita to a “singles only” event. Love is in the air and when Bobbi notices this handsome stranger, it's love at first sight. She only hopes Cupid is on her side and shoots the stranger with a love arrow made just for her.

Only in town for the weekend, Hunter Black never thought he would meet his soulmate. The untimely death of his grandmother causes him to make a trip back home to Chicago for her funeral. Hunter didn't plan do much but spend time with his family. With his cousins and best friend Ade having other ideas in mind, they plan a night out that's bound to be a night Hunter will never forget.

Both Bobbi and Hunter have situations of their own going on at home but can one night together and a job opportunity for one of them change their fates? Or will Bobbi stick to her good girl act and let real love pass her by? Did fate also put Ade and Carmelita in the right place at the right time? Where I Want To Be is no ordinary love triangle but sure to make you fall in love all over again.

About the author

Manda P.

24 books39 followers
Amanda Hill is a native from Chicago, IL and she's had a love for books ever since her mother let her read The Coldest Winter Ever and Flyy Girl when she was thirteen years old. Now residing in Houston, TX and being a stay at home mom, she wanted to try her shot at writing.

Amanda loves a classic hood tale but wanted to read something a little different and when she couldn't find, she decided to write it on her own. When she became a published author she knew the name Amanda was just too common and wanted something that would stick out to readers. Many friends and family call her Manda Panda so that's what she went for. Manda P and the P is for Panda.

Manda P wears many hats; mother, daughter, sister, friend, hair stylist, and her favorite as of now, an author. When she became a published author, she was of course nervous but loved that she could escape the real world sometimes through her writing. If Manda isn't writing, then she's reading and if she's not reading, she has her hands in someone's hair. With three books in her catalogue so far, Manda P. looks forward to writing more and letting readers into that beautiful mind of hers.

Sneaky Allison is in over her head!

The co-mingling of the couples are interesting. Tyriq is really a dog and Allison is a snake. Bobbie and Hunter will make a great couple once lol the secrets re on the table. Emil’s role came out of nowhere, jealousy and greed is going to cost him I’m sure. Love Ade and Lita together!!

Good read

This was a great intro book. It gave just enough background on the characters to give you an idea as to what's going on? I know part 2 will be more drama filled due to everything starting to come out! I enjoyed reading this, and can't wait to see what happens next!

THAT ENDING!!

Enjoyed the flow of this story from the beginning. All I have to say is I hope Hunter and Bobbi hook up. Ade and Carlota better be careful of her cousin. After that powerful ending I can't wait for part 2

Woww the cycle

Come on part 2 it's too good to drop off. Even though Alley is a snake and going to get hers, Bobbi and Hunter is about to be a whirlwind of chaos. It's going to be juicy

One big mess 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Allison is surely something else, I can't believe Emil is that Envious of Hunter, now I'm mad a Bobbi she should of already told him about his baby. I'm glad that Lita didn't give up on Ade, Kennedi I have a feeling she's going to be trouble....

Where I want to be

I don't even know where to start this book held my attention from the very first page. Bobbi need to tell Hunter about the situation. Allison is something else and all her stuff catching up to her. I'm definitely reading part 2.

This book was full of drama. Allison is a hot mess. How you sleeping around with three different men and don't know who your baby daddy is. I am rooting for Hunter and Bobbi also Ade and Lita. Can want to read part 2 to see what happens next.

Didn’t like how they all were in rotation, seemed like it was too many characters for them all to be connected like that. It took away from the read big time. The ending was boring and really not enough to pull you in to the next one but I’d red it just to find out how Hunter is going to react and to read more on Bilal.
