4.0 out of 5 stars
Back on track...., April 15, 2009
This review is from: Just Business (Paperback)
I just finished Ms. Cannon's latest and what a wonderful book. Since I was a bit disappointed in her last one (just didn't really have a plot going for it and characters were a bit 2 dimensional), I was reluctant to get her latest, but I am very glad I did. In this newest one, Ms. Cannon brought the two main characters to life; each having sub-characters that only made the main ones more robust. There just seem to be more to the characters stories this time with more depth to the characters and more substance to the story plot...I look forward to her next one.

Eh, not the greatest, not plausible, but entertaining hot sex, June 29, 2009
This review is from: Just Business (Paperback)
HONESTLY, what drew my inital attention to this book was the cover art. I read the reviews that were available, and in the end, I resolved, I bought the book because of the cover art. Art is just for "eye-candy" sakes. The lead characters, or none of the characters in the book for that matter, DO NOT look like the cover art.
Bait and switch, yep, I fell for it.
I know I know, it's a work of fiction. However much of a work of fiction anything should be, it should be at the very least..a thread that hinge on "believable", which, this story lacks.
Think "Pretty Woman" with a lesbo twist. Throw into the mix is a subplot of a brother-unfairly-convicted-of-a-crime (he did murder someone by the way), so our heroine had-to-sacrifice-being-with-a-mega-gazillionaire and living a few privileged months for the sake of her brother. The plot was just stupid. I feel stupid for falling for the cover art.
But, if you like reading hot, steamy, sporty, enthusiastic lesbian sex, you'll enjoy the plethora of encounters in this book. Very entertaining and descriptive. Me, I would rather of spent the money on a traditional porn flick!

Ouch!, June 18, 2009
This review is from: Just Business (Paperback)
I like Julie Cannon's books. She always presents beautiful and interesting characters with engaging storylines. `Just Business' is no exception.
Unexpectedly thrown into an awkward situation, Dillon Matthews goes with the flow and ends up with a broken heart. Dillon meets a depressed Callie Sheffield at a local bar one night and they feel a connection. Later, Dillon is invited to have dinner with Bill Franklin, a man who is holding out on a land deal she wants to close, and his wife Phyllis. She is specifically asked to bring a date and decides to invite Callie. Thinking the meal will be all that's required, Dillon is stunned when she and Callie are invited to spend a weekend with Bill and Phyllis at their beach cottage. Things only get more complicated from there as Dillon gets more deeply mired in the whole situation. She hasn't been completely honest with Callie and won't admit she's fallen in love with the unsuspecting woman - that is, until it's too late. Callie discovers Dillon's ruse and that's where the fun really begins.
Okay, these characters aren't terribly multi-dimensional. Dillon's only focus is the land. Callie's only focus is getting her brother out of prison. Bill and Phyllis seen to open their arms too quickly to these women. However, their interactions make this book enjoyable. It's not as good as Cannon's earlier books, but I'm still glad I read it.
Bottom Line - Well worth reading.
