4.95 Stars!!!At 23 and without a boyfriend, Mia is determined to start off her summer by finally losing her virginity. Her plan is to find a cute and willing guy at a bar for a one night stand during her first night back in Alabama. She does not plan on it being her best friend's brother, the boy who tormented her early teen years.Told from alternating 1st person POV of Mia and Ben (whose their names could use some formatting when they start off a chapter), Where I Belong is a perfect blend of a cute story with some touches of humor, hot, hot love scenes, and a sweet developing romance. Mia and Ben have a lot of chemistry and it shows from their first encounter.  Ben must prove that he's not the same jerk he was as a teen, and Mia must get past how the comments Ben's former self made left her feeling.There are some cute twists with Ben's profession and his personal life. And the plot's climax at the end has just enough excitement without it being too much drama.One thing that I felt was over looked in the character development--what the heck did Mia and Tessa do for a living??? They were 23 so they should have been out of college for a year yet they acted like they were just on summer break.  There were some places where the characters seemed younger than they were supposed to be. I'm hoping the next book explains what the girls do for jobs when the summer ends.Still, it's a cute, well paced, feel-good story with no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a HEA.  I'm definitely interested in learning more about Tessa and Luke so I hope they get their book next. A very promising start to a new series.
