Just Business is the second book in the Takeover series by Anna Zabo.  While this book is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone novel with ease.  However, for the best understanding of the secondary characters, I find it best to read the other book in the series.

Justin White is working on his MBA at Carnegie Mellon.  He is currently working at a coffee shop attempting to find his way back into corporate America.  Justin is a hard worker as well as smart. Justin seems easy going with everyone but the one man who makes his blood boil.

Eli Ovadia is the CFO for the company that just hired Justin.  Eli is known for being a pain, and grumpy.  He is domineering as well.  An accident when Eli was young left him with an injured leg that has never gone back to normal.  He walks with a cane.

The connection between Justin and Eli is intense.  When the meet at of work at a BDSM  party they click in a way neither seemed to expect.  Each man must battle their inner demons before they can even get a relationship between them off the ground.   The sex scenes were scorching.

I found this book well written with an interesting plot. The main characters and the secondary characters were distinctive.  While the ending was a little predictable, the book is filled with twists and turns that kept me intrigued all the way through.  I had a hard time putting this book down.  Overall, this was a very magnificent book and I hope to see these characters again in the future.This book was reviewed by a member of the review staff at Cocktails and Books.
