Pamela Yaye (Author)

Book Description

Series: Kimani Romance | Publication Date: April 1, 2007

Don't go there. The stylish, toffee-skinned beauty with the flat tire looks like the kind of uppity city girl L. J. Saunders has sworn to stay away from--even if she does have sass, smarts and legs to rival any Las Vegas showgirl. But L.J. was brought up right, and no gentleman would leave a lady stranded....

Look but don't touch. Autumn Nicholson has made some promises, too. No flings until she's sure it's the real thing--especially not with a luscious, hard-muscled hunk who'll be leaving D.C. in a matter of weeks.

But when fate, well-meaning friends and a sizzling, sensual attraction intervene, L.J. and Autumn may be in for a change in plans!

Pamela Yaye penned her first novella while teaching in South Korea and upon the advice of a good friend and colleague she transformed, "Other People's Business" into a full-length novel. She wrote The "Trouble With Luv'" soon after and it was released in the fall of 2007. "Her Kind of Man" and "Love T.K.O. both received incredible reviews last year.

Grab one of her books, recline in a comfy chair and enjoy the ride! You'll love the heroes and heroines featured in her stories. They're strong but flawed men and women who are just looking for a little love and tenderness. But aren't we all?

This review is from: Other People's Business (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

Autumn Nicholson was an accountant at the top of her game and was successful in her occupation. She had friends she adored, and they adored her as well. The only thing missing in Autumn's life was true love. She had met her fair share of guys that she thought were "the one," but soon she would find out that they weren't. She had this brick wall around her heart and swore off any type of intimacy until she found the man she would marry. Soon her brick wall started to crumble when she met L.J. Saunders. Their first encounter wasn't necessarily what you would call love at first sight. But things soon change between them, and sparks start to fly. Will L.J. be able to shatter Autumn's wall or will it instead become a fortress?

Other People's Business by Pamela Yaye is a beautiful love story between two people that have had their share of bad relationships. Through the turmoil, they find each other and fall in love...even with all of the obstacles they keep running into. If you enjoy good romance novels and are not too keen on the sappy kind, then this book is for you. Pamela Yaye put a few tear-jerking moments in there, but she'll also have you talking out loud, yelling "Oh No He Didn't!" at times too. I would recommend Other People's Business to anyone that loves a happy ending.

This review is from: Other People's Business (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

Pamela Yaye's debut novel, Other People's Business, is a wonderful addition to the busy African-American romance market.

Accountant Autumn Nicholson is fighting to show the world that she can make it on her own without the input and influence of her well-to-do family and friends. She's made a success of herself in her accountancy firm and has given up on love as she struggles to rid herself of her uncommitted boyfriend who is all too happy to survive on the backs of his wealthy and politically-connected father. The novel opens with Autumn being disappointed by him once again and having to depend upon the help of a kind, if scruffy, stranger L.J. Saunders.

L.J. Saunders comes to her rescue when a flat tire leaves her stranded. Put off by his unkempt appearance and the nature of their meeting, Autumn puts him out off her mind until she encounters him at the engagement party of her best friend. With L.J. as the best man and Autumn as a bridesmaid, they are thrown together in a number of social situations and soon sparks fly.

Their road to romance is an adventurous and rocky one with Autumn continuing to struggle with her past relationship disappointments and L.J. being extremely wary of love based on a recent romantic failure. Author Yaye crafts a fine romance in her telling of Autumn and L.J.'s story. She develops her characters and story line like a seasoned pro rather than a debut author. This adventure was a captivating one and I look forward to her future romantic forays.
