I loved the first book that told Michael and Sam's story and I loved this one equally as much, that told Eli and Justin's story. I wished that these people would just talk to one another instead of running off the deep end and nearly drowning. There is a lot of BDSM scenes in this one, even more than the first one but somehow, they came off as sweet and caring, if you can use those two adjectives for what it was. I wished that Justin could have just told Eli why he triggered so easily, it was understandable, and Eli loved him enough give him space or whatever he needed. Eli's parents were something else. I just have trouble wrapping my mind around how any parent could possibly feel the way they did about any child. Anna Zabo is going to have to go some extra miles to top these first two books, but I'm going to see if she can. A rarity for me, but I am reading them in order... but thus far I believe they can easily be read as standalones. I'm off to #3. absolutely incredible! I really liked first book and this one I loved. It was very hot and emotional MCs in their 30s disabled Jewish MC office romance found family healthy D/s relationship sex club MC goes to therapy! tws: homophobia, abuse in past relationship, trauma connected to a catastrophe, ptsd 3.5 stars Both men are suffering from their pasts. At first it seems that are only making each other's pain worse, but eventually it's realized that each is exactly the right person to help the other heal. There's lots of soul searching and questioning and tons of sexy times. Just Business is a beautiful and erotic romance. I read this on a whim and am glad I did - not perfect but it had a surprisingly sweet relationship (a little over angst filled sometimes, but it worked.) It takes two men with bizarre histories and tragic backgrounds and pushes them together in the business world, where they find out they have the kinky desires in common and work perfectly together in that regard. Now it's just the other stuff they have to figure out... There's an intense play scene and the series is catered toward enjoying public play, with m/m romance all wrapped in one. Unfortunately dialogue is painful sometimes, with the main character especially. The writing is multiple point of view and well done, it doesn't skip around too much and stays on point. What was weird was sneaking this one at work during a slow time and then running into a few scenes that took me by surprise, and trying to keep a straight face through them! The book is the second in a series (I haven't read the first), has disabled characters, tragic pasts, a relationship that works, pretty intense play, so if you're in the mood for that kind of thing - this book is definitely calling your name. no reviews | add a review

Justin White may not look like an up and coming corporate superstar, but his new boss knows that he has the smarts, grit, and determination to succeed. Now he just has to convince his company's CFO, Eli Ovadia. Unfortunately, Justin can't seem to keep his cool around the domineering Eli, and soon he finds himself taking their heat from the boardroom into the bedroom. Still haunted by a tragic accident that left him with a wounded leg and broken heart, Eli has a need to be in control. But his desire for Justin makes him want to lose that control and push them both far beyond their limits. Will his need to dominate Justin drive him away, or will Eli find a way to be the man he needs for both of them?Contains mature themes. No library descriptions found. |

At this story's core was, for me, the value in finding the courage to reveal what hurts the most. Honesty. Vulnerability. Revelations that only come from trust. Trust that is hard-won. Where in Takeover there was (to me) too much repetition of Sam's habit of escape, in this one there was none of that. It's a stronger story for it. I'm looking forward to reading Due Diligence because of the progress I've seen just between book 1 and this one. Impressed. ( )
