Just Business by Anna Zabo
5.0
This book blew me out of the water. I ran across the author for the first time in an anthology, and when I saw a full length novel pop up on NetGalley I requested without even reading the blurb. I wasn’t even a 1/3rd of the way through before I bought the first book in the series (although this one stands alone).
It was extremely hot, with absolutely beautifully written pain play scenes. The kink was extremely well written, lots of consent talk and enough negotiation to make me more than happy. I know a lot of people shy away from kink because it’s all take and no give, and is not the case in this story.
Just Business was very much a character/relationship driven story, and I for one, really loved how it worked. The relationship between Justin and Eli was tense from the start and just blossomed out from there with sexual tension. It was quick moving, but I don’t feel like it was in any way unnatural. Both of them had their demons to deal with, and I really appreciated how their struggles and self-negotiations played out on the page.
