From the thrilling new author of Takeover, a steamy new novel about having all the control—and losing it…

Note from the author: This is the followup to Takeover and features Justin and Eli. Sam and Michael are fairly important characters in this book as well.

Justin White may not look like an up and coming corporate superstar, but his new boss knows he has the smarts, grit, and determination to succeed. Now he just has to convince his company’s CFO, Eli Ovadia. Unfortunately, Justin can’t seem to keep his cool around the domineering Eli—and soon he finds himself taking their heat from the boardroom into the bedroom….

Still haunted by a tragic accident that left him with a wounded leg and broken heart, Eli has a need to be in control. But his desire for Justin makes him want to lose that control—and push them both far beyond their limits. But will his need to dominate Justin drive him away—or will Eli find a way to be the man he needs for both of them?

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.
