Loved It!!!, January 19, 2009
This review is from: Love T.K.O. (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
I wasn't sure about this book and first, but bought out of desperation for something to read. I glad I did this was good romantic story. I think the characters were well developed and the secondary characters were interesting, with the exception of her wine tasting friends. I was left wanting more.
Rashawn was a handsome, moderately educated, charming, down to earth guy from the hood, who was an up and coming boxing celebrity. Yasmin was a attractive, intelligent, conservative and almost boring doctor. Both were recovering from past hurts. They developed a straight forward, honest and steamy relationship and were not afraid to show their feelings for each other. I glad the author didn't waste time with unnecessary games between this couple, which made for a nice quick drama-free read. I think it would be nice to read a follow up story about Imani and Dean or maybe Katherine finding love, but overall really like it.

Love T.K.O., October 24, 2008
This review is from: Love T.K.O. (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Well they say opposite attract and in this case they are right. Pam has paired Yasmin Ohaji & Rashawn Bishop. She is a marriage counselor and he is a boxer. Make you want to say hummmmmmmm.
Yasmine is every man fantasy who as a marriage counselor is to busy to find time and happiness for herself, so with the help of her sister she set her up on a blind date with Cecil Manning. Cecil is a up and coming politician who through out the entire dinner only talks about himself and what other can do for him.
All the while Yasmine and Cecil are at the restaurant several table over there was a group of youth crackled like hyenas. The group was doing so loud talking making certain comments regarding Yasmine which she tried to hold on to her temper and the more the group was talking the madder Yasmine would get but what really pissed her off was the fact that Cecil heard all of the comments he did nothing to defend of honor his take on the situation is that they didn't mean anything by it they was only teasing her once she saw that Cecil was not going to do anything she said enough is enough. Yasmine got up and went over to the table ready to cuss those guy out but when she got ready to open her mouth Rashawn Bishop step between the table and Yasmine and made the guys at the table apoligize to Yasmine.
After that she got her purse and left the restaurant and while she was outside waiting on her car Cecil come running out of course trying to make everything already. Once Cecil turn around with his tail in his behind then walks out Rashawn Bishop.
Rashawn Bishop inter city kid the oldest of 4 and the one who decided that he was going to change his life. As with life you see a kids who wants to take care of his mother and brothers so Rashawn did what he had to do but somebody wanted to help Rashawn turn his life around and introduce him to boxes was a great outlet.
From the moment Rashawn saw Yasmine he wanted to get to know her, but for Yasmine she wasn't ready to start a relationship. Yasmine has lost the man she was suppose to marrage suddently and in her mind she feels if she start dating again it would be to soon. Rashawn being the man that he is will not stop until get Yasmine to go out and take a chance with him.
You first see how far Rashawn is willing to get Yasmine to go out with him. He goes to see her on the pretense of counseling and then it is on from there. She does not make it easy for him by no mean and Rashawn has to work at getting Yasmine to go out with him. With the help of her sister Iman, Rashawn feel he has someone in his corner.
They both have some bumps in the road alone the way, ex-girlfriend, ex-fiance. With Rashawn ex she wants to come back and he is ready to move on and with Yasmine ex she is feeling guilty about his death. Once she tell Rashawn what happen with her ex he begin to understand and from that moment on Yasmine know that Rashawn is in her corner and she is there for him as well. All is not well but in the end they will come together and I tell you Pam did a great job writing about opposite attract because in their case it WORKS..................
You will enjoy their love story and I recommend this book.
Thanks
Louise

Knock Out, December 19, 2008
This review is from: Love T.K.O. (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
South African born Dr. Yasmin Ohaji is a gorgeous psychologist who doesn't take any mess from anybody. So when a blind date just sits by and lets a group of immature wannabe thugs disrespect her, Yasmin takes matters into her own hands. Before she could give those guys a piece of her mind, drop dead gorgeous and multi-racial Rashawn "The Glove" Bishop comes to the rescue. Yasmin learns quickly that that is not the only time Rashawn would be there for her. Even though Rashawn is a boxer who is not from her "world," they hit it off immediately. It doesn't matter how different their backgrounds are, they know they are made for each other and can get through anything together. That is until Rashawn is faced with a tough decision that could test how strong their love is.
Love T.K.O. is a good romance novel by Pamela Yaye. The main male character is your classic romantic male, and the female main character is swept off her feet by him. The overall flow of the story was good. There were a few instances where I think the story lagged, but the author did a good job of recovering with something to pique your interest that caused you to want to know how that particular plot would play out. Overall, Love T.K.O. was a good book.
