Worth Fighting For

Born in South Africa, marriage counselor, Dr. Yasmin Ohaji is as beautiful as she is smart, with a take no B. S. attitude. Due to the way her last relationship ended the counselor neither has nor takes time for a personal life. As she is about to walk into the fight of her life, Yasmin is grateful when multi-racial boxer Rashaw "The Glove" Bishop comes to her rescue. The boxing match is now on, going a full ten rounds. Yaye steps out of the box with the characters of LOVE T. K. O. She shows us without communication the knock out is inevitable. With communication one can stand toe to toe, complete the entire ten rounds with both opponents coming out victoriously. While reading, I was yelling, and pulling for Yasmin and Rashaw because I could feel the chemistry between them the minute he stepped in front of her on page twelve. LOVE T. K. O. is one of my top twenty reads for the year. Reviewed by Toni Bonita of The RAWSISTAZ(tm) Reviewers

Loved It!!!

I wasn't sure about this book and first, but bought out of desperation for something to read. I glad I did this was good romantic story. I think the characters were well developed and the secondary characters were interesting, with the exception of her wine tasting friends. I was left wanting more. Rashawn was a handsome, moderately educated, charming, down to earth guy from the hood, who was an up and coming boxing celebrity. Yasmin was a attractive, intelligent, conservative and almost boring doctor. Both were recovering from past hurts. They developed a straight forward, honest and steamy relationship and were not afraid to show their feelings for each other. I glad the author didn't waste time with unnecessary games between this couple, which made for a nice quick drama-free read. I think it would be nice to read a follow up story about Imani and Dean or maybe Katherine finding love, but overall really like it.

Love TKO'ed Me

The last two reviewers did a good job with the plot so I will not rehash that. I really enjoyed the book and the relationship between Rashawn and Yasmin. The fact that they came from different walks of life made me love them more. I liked the tension between them so much that at different times of the story they both worked my nerves. Yasmin was so hard-headed and fought the obvious chemistry for too long, however when she finally fell in love she was all in without pride. Rashawn was willing to risk far to much for his career. While he was smooth and loved Yasmin, his love had limits that made me want to choke him. The love scenes were beautiful, the secondary characters were very strong and added to the story's appeal. Yasmin's sister is very funny and became another heroine in the story. I read this book in one sitting in a few hours, it's a page turner that will take you through a variety of emotions. You will not be disappointed.
