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.

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.

This book is sensational!!! Autumn and L.J.'s story was exciting and breath-taking from begining to end. Every page was wonderful, I read the entire book in two days. I just couldn't put it down!!!! I am waiting on the next book!!!!

If you haven't bought this book, don't do it. It turned out to be okay but not something I would recommend, it started out really slow but got better as I continued to read. I've liked all of the books that I've read by Pamela Yaye but this one was really not that good it was just OK.

I came across Others Peoples Business in my local library. I was perusing the books when I came across this. I read the synopsis and I was hooked. I borrowed the book and started reading straight away. I won't give a way the plot suffice to say that it is a romance featuring afro americans. As a brother I was struck at how accurate Ms Yaye's story really captured how a brother feels when love comes calling and believe me i've been there. You know those things in the past known as baggage!
Could've said something didn't say anything and it blows up in your face. I couldn't put the book down and now my real fear is what I am going to do once I've read all of Ms. Yaye's books (I'm on my fourth now!).
So if you want a romance that tells it like it is with the highs lows laughter and tears check out 'Other Peoples Business' and all the books by Pamela Yaye.

I am a true fan of love sagas so I loved this book!! The love escapade between LJ Saunders and Autumn was so good that I stayed up the majority of the night reading... I could not put this book down wanting to know what was going to happen amongst their relationship. Kudos Ms Yaye! Job Well done!
