About this audiobook

Graham Douglas doesn't do romantic relationships, but he was knocked for a loop when he met Emma Pierce on the set of his last film. As they grew closer, he did everything in his power to keep from falling for a girl being pursued by superstar Reid Alexander. Now home in New York, his life is once again under control, until Emma appears and shows him how not over her he is.

Emma Pierce is forsaking an up-and-coming Hollywood career to embark on a life she's only dreamed of - the life of a regular girl. After spending months burying her feelings for the two night-and-day guys who vied for her heart while filming her last movie, a twist of fate puts her in a coffee shop in the middle of Manhattan with the one she still misses.

Brooke Cameron was a fresh-faced Texas girl when she arrived in LA. Now she's a beach sitcom star turned conceited heiress on the big screen. Having just survived three months on location with her ex - Hollywood's reigning golden boy - she's older and wiser and has her sights on her close friend Graham. The only thing standing in her way is the girl he can't forget.

Reid Alexander can sum up his life in one word: boring. Between film projects, there's little going on outside of interviews, photo shoots, and the premiere of the film he finished last fall. The next-to-last thing he expects is to get a second chance with Emma, the girl who rejected him. The last thing he expects is for his still-bitter-ex to be the one to offer it to him on a platter.

    WHERE YOU ARE is #2 in the Between the Lines trilogy, picking up the story where it left off after School Pride finished filming and following the main characters - Emma, Reid, Graham, and Brooke - through to the Premiere.

    I definitely had more problems with #2 than with #1. I didn't think that the addition of Graham and Brooke's viewpoints added a whole lot - Brooke, especially, since I suspect that her POV was meant to humanize her, and it completely failed at that for me. The story here is also a lot less focused. In #1, all the characters were together on set, filming a movie. Now they're scattered across the country, joining up for brief stints at photo shoots and interviews. Setting aside, the plot is pretty strictly defined: Brooke contacts Reid and convinces him to help her break up Emma and Graham. She convinces Reid that if he plays along, he'll be perfectly positioned to snag Emma after Brooke seduces Graham.

    There are a lot of things about the way Webber writes this that are really great. The way that Reid slowly warms toward Emma, developing a real friendship with her by the end, is really well done. Emma and Graham's long-distance relationship is wonderfully romantic, but damaged by problems that wouldn't cause a ripple if they were together in one place. Emma and Graham are both really good, trustworthy people and watching Reid and Brooke chip away at the sweet, solid connection they've got is heartbreaking.

    Graham is really the weak spot in the book. I mean, Brooke as a conniving bitch - okay, whatever. But Graham is a solid character who behaves in odd ways that according to the needs of the plot, rather than his own nature. For example: he sees Brooke really clearly. He knows what kind of person she is, he can tell when she's being fake and manipulative, but he befriends her anyhow. And I liked him for that; it's one of his sterling qualities. Yet, for some reason, even though he's perceptive about everything else, he's never suspicious about any of the dumb tricks that Brooke pulls to separate him from Emma. There are a few other things with Graham; I didn't get why he was so adamant about not having sex, for example; it only made sense as a plot device, keeping the reader panting along to see when/if it would happen.

    Other than that, though, I'm still pretty clueless about where this series is going to end up. I'm tempted to look at a few reviews of #3, just so I can get a hint - I mean, I have NO IDEA. That's kind of exciting.

    The sequel to Between the Lines didn't reach the caliber of the first, but it was still an enjoyable read. The problem was really that I didn't love Graham so much. He's the epitome of a nice guy, but a little boring. Part of the allure of Reid is that he's a bad boy, but he has flashes of goodness, so it makes you root for him, even when he's making REALLY bad choices. There's the eternal hope that he'll come to his senses, be reformed, fall in love, and come clean. And hopefully that happens in the third book.

    The middle section of this book, with Graham and Emma so desperately in love with one another, was a little tough to read, since it was sickeningly sweet. When I was in college and dating my now-husband, we actually fed each other jello in the school cafeteria. *insert eye roll here* Our friends wanted to kill us. No one wanted to be around us because our blind affection for one another was so gag inducing. I didn't care then, just as Emma and Graham don't care. And while I'm happy for them, I don't really want to watch (or read, as the case may be) while they tell each other lovey dovey stories over Skype.

    Webber's creativity in the nefarious break-them-up plot was impressive (evil mastermind, methinks! lol) and it kept the book moving along, so overall I'd say it was worth reading, particularly if the aforementioned Reid conversion happens in book three.

    I'm thinking 3.8ish...

    So this was a definite improvement from the first book. Brooke and Reid plot to break Emma and Graham apart using lies and deceit. Naturally, after some tears and heartache Brooke's boomerang makes the expected 180 and knocks her on her virtual ass. That was a fun part, btw. Reid got off with a slap on the wrist. I wonder if he'll succumb to love or continue his careless playboy days.

    This is a continuation of the story that began in book 1, Between the Lines. I rarely say this, but I feel they should be read in order. The plot in book 1 is pivotal in making the plot here work.

    I'm unsure how I feel about this book. The romance aspects were enjoyable and worth reading. The rest...not so much. Brook's scheming and manipulating felt forced and cliched. That she roped Reid into and Graham was so clueless just added to the lack of believablilty. It was all a bit too over the top.

    I was a bit disappointed with Where You Are and it currently sits as the worst rated Tammara Webber book on my read shelf. Sitting at a rounded three stars isn't bad, but coming off of the high of Between the Lines I have to admit I expected better.

    I feel like there were too many negative characters in the book, throwing off the balance. Brooke and Reid control a big portion of this book, taking the light off of Emma and Graham. There were, in my opinion, too many perspectives in the book.

    My little rule for myself is that if it contains more than three perspectives, write in third person, but because the first book was written in first, I'm guessing that you're not allowed to make the switch. Anyway, multiple point of views in first person is one of my pet peeves, I don't expect anyone to feel the same way.

    Emma and Graham's "romance" felt a bit dull, too. Definitely not worth the effort that Brooke and Reid put into breaking it up, surely. I wish that it had been given more of an opportunity to shine, and more of an opportunity for the two to sort out their differences and figure out what they want from each other.

    Anyway, I look forward to the third book regardless of how this one made me feel. It's notorious that the second book in a series or trilogy is the worst one of the lot. I'm actually hoping it is the case, and not the story itself being boring.

    I'm going to go ahead and say that this review may be a bit spoiler-ish (hopefully not much) for those who have not read Between The Lines. If you haven't read that book, you may want to hold out for this review.. or just go on ahead to Amazon and spend the $2.99 to catch up. It's worth it, believe me.To be honest, Where You Are completely blew me away. I mean, don't get me wrong, I knew it was going to be good. What I wasn't expecting was how it was so overwhelmingly different from its predecessor, Between The Lines, yet still managed to make me fall in love with it just as much as the other - but for completely different reasons. Usually, when you have a great book that you absolutely fall in love with, its sequel won't quite live up to the high expectations. At least, that's what I've always thought.. until now.In Where You Are, we're dealing with the same four main characters that we were introduced to in Between The Lines. However, where BTL was more fast-paced when it came to the relationships because it dealt more with the newness of relationships mixed with partying and the world of movie-making, WYA slams on the brakes and takes us to a new place - one where a relationship is blossoming so everything is slowed down for discovery and all of the fun (and some more serious) things that come along with committing to someone. You'd think that after being on such a high from the pace in the first book, the pace of the second would bring you down and possibly bore you. You know what? Maybe it would... with another book and another author. However, Tammara's writing style — adding to the fact that the story is about the two characters that we fell in love with in the first novel along with an unexpected alliance of chaos — makes it so there is never a dull moment.You really get a great first-hand look at a relationship that is truly starting from the ground up with Emma and Graham, which was given a great foundation of friendship that was built upon in the first book. You witness a lot of the little moments (long-distance Skype dates, small get-aways during promotion for their film School Pride, etc) which might seem boring to some, but seemed absolutely endearing to me because these are all of the real details that entail dating long-distance and learning about someone you care about.Of course, relationships aren't always perfect and there are sometimes snags that come along — which, in the case of Emma and Graham's story is Reid and Brooke. Once vicious enemies, Brooke and Reid start a shaky alliance with one another to try to get the happy couple to separate, thinking that if they do then Graham would go to Brooke (who has decided that she's in love with him) and this would give Reid another chance with Emma. When I approached this part of the story, I hesitated. I thought for sure that this was going to go horribly awry and I wasn't going to get the happily-ever-after that I wanted so desperately for these two. However, I was hit with a few curve balls that wasn't expected but wasn't NOT welcomed. Given the circumstances and how everything turned out, I was surprised with how the characters dealt with their conflicts. Reid and Brooke both surprised me in both pleasant and not-so-pleasant ways.I know all of this sounds a little vague but I don't want to completely ruin the story for anyone. Like I said from the beginning, this story is much different from the first book but still just as good. I may actually chance saying that it's better.. even with all of the ups and downs your emotions go through with the characters throughout the story. Everything about this book is fantastic.. then again, I never doubted it because it comes from a fantastic author.
