Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Dedicated to the black-owned, Washington, D.C., hotel chain started by her deceased father, 28-year-old public relations director Maya Woodson anxiously anticipates Pharaoh Hotel Corporation's upcoming IPO. But Maya is soon ruffled by Trajan Matthews, who is hired by Pharaoh's co-founder and Maya's beloved surrogate father, Jerome, to pique investor interest. Though a gorgeous financial relations expert, Trajan offends Maya with his lack of respect for her position and his money-grubbing Wall Street ways. Winters's plot takes several unlikely turns after the inopportune murder of an elderly hotel resident puts a damper on the business at hand. A coincidental reunion between Trajan and a childhood friend, a fellow cop who is sent on the case, allows him to reconnect with his ghetto past. In the process, Trajan predictably wins over Maya, who's now obsessed with finding the killer on her own, despite the inevitable danger and the shocking secrets she begins uncovering about her own past and those in her inner circle. (Aug.)

Nice Read!,
This review is from: The Business Of Love (Mass Market Paperback)
Ok, I really liked this story. It had mystery, passion, and a love out of this world. Trajan and Maya are crazy together. In the beginning, I was wondering how these two people are going to fall in love with each other! I for one personally liked Trajan's name. But I must say at times during the novel it was hard to follow. But overall it was an enjoyable read!

Short but Good,
This review is from: The Business Of Love (Mass Market Paperback)
This story about Maya and Trajan was pretty good, although it could have been longer. Maya took over her fathers hotel business after he has died. Maya and her partner (her father's best friend) decided to take the hotel investment public. This is when she meets Trajan. I will not say it was love at first sight but there were sparks.Trying to find out who murdered her friend in her hotel suite reveals some hidden issues of not only the murder victim and her family but also Maya's family. There were some unanswered questions with this book. I think that if the book was longer Trajan's past could of been explored deeper.

Enjoyed This Book!,

This review is from: The Business Of Love (Mass Market Paperback)
I still don't quite understand why Arabesque/BET still publishes books with 250 pages. It seems the authors are forced to include so much territority in such a short length of time. Well, based on the 250 pages that I read of this suspense romance story by Angela Winters, I enjoyed it very much.The plot: I enjoyed the combination of the private owned company deciding to go public with its stock. Although it seemed at times throughout this book, the authors' technical details of the business dynamics was over-bearing. But upon completion of the story, I appreciated the through work because it gave me a better perspective. The major characters: Maya Woodson and Trajan "Tre" Matthews, I thought they definitely matched well especially for the overall plot itself. The hard driven career oriented man Trajan really works the nerves and patience of Maya. The minor characters: I loved George, the police-officer who is the good friend of Trajan and the significant role he plays for always providing the right advice he gives to both Tre and Maya. George, Alisa and even Jerome all enhance this story so well with the major characters. If you don't mind dealing with the technical parts about the world of stocks, which takes up alot of space in this story, you will be able to deal with the developing sparks and relationship between Maya and Tre; solve the murder that takes place; figure out who-done-it and why? and finally the after-math of it all. You should enjoy this book, hey it's a short read and has some interesting twists.
