Making You My Business

Lennox in Love #3

by Tina Martin

Smoky Mountain Lodge, a hotel owned and operated by Lennox Enterprises, has been underperforming since Joelle Bannon quit two months ago for a position at Island Street Deli. Underpaid and undervalued, she’d rather work someplace with lower expectations than at a hotel where she hasn’t had a raise in ten years. In his new role as district manager at Lennox Enterprises, Giovanni Lennox has the task of rebuilding employee relations with management, starting with Joelle. His goal is to get her to take her job back at Smoky Mountain Lodge, or convince her to help him with tips to get the lodge back in its former profitable state. When she refuses both options, he makes it his business to dig into her life and find out everything he can about her in hopes of persuading Joelle to abide by his wishes. He never thought he’d end up falling in LOVE. * * * The Lennox Series are all standalone novellas with the exception of Caught in the Storm with a Lennox which is the prequel to Claiming You.

Reviews

['The Book Queen' · Rating 5 out of 5]

The third book was so good, too. Giovanni is a suit with a heart. Who would have believed this early on in the story.

[Mariann · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short and sweet reminds me of Brenda Jackson “the saga continues” nice storyline and I’m still a hopeless romantic at heart so love at first sight is always a winner. Joelle and Giovanni needed each other in so many ways.

[NubianJoí · Rating 5 out of 5]

Context makes the difference‼️Prior to this book, Giovanni’s character was desperate, obnoxious, juvenile & rude. Although Giovanni was still an ignoramus, his character became tolerable once he separated his typical personal pursuit of a woman from a professional corporate governance approach 🤦🏾‍♀️‼️ However, how & why was this ninja promoted to District Manager⁉️…Duhh, the power of privilege & nepotism 🥴‼️Nevertheless, “Making You My Business (A Lennox In Love - Book 2” (4.50 ⭐️’s) was a better story or rather a more concise storyline by commingling the interest, hobbies, experiences & traumas of Joelle & Giovanni. There was a mutual invitation between the individuals, to “share my world”. Consequently, this relationship, proposal & marriage made sense😍.

[Vernell Renee Howard Griffin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent Read!

My, my, my how opposites attract. I love how determined Giovanni was to get to know Joelle on a friend level and any and everything else that came with her was just fair game. I love the forceful and protective nature he exuded over her. His unconditional love gave them both the strength to have faith in one another and faith in the love that formed throughout their journey of one another. This was excitingly hot how they made each other their business no matter the circumstances. Great Read! ReneeG 👍

JoJo & Vanni - friends to marriage

I enjoyed the sweet love story of Noelle and Giovanni! I appreciate the friendship and respect of his sister in law that he wanted a woman like her. He found his own dear heart in Jojo. A girl that has much trauma in her background with burn scars over her body. That didn't matter to the assumed flashy, womanizing and rich Lennox brother . Mrs. Martin kept the storyline light and moving. Now I can't wait to read the next novel in the series.

The pain that became her love

Giovanni is and was a self confident young man. Many thought of him as arrogant. His brother gave him an assignment, turn around a property that had restored after a fire.
Jojo was a young lady who had endured much pain and heartache. Her last full time job was at the very lodge Giovanni was to oversee. Read how these two turn their worst hurts into a forever love. Great read..

[C. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Making You My Business was a fun and inspirational read. We have an accomplished bachelor who finally meets his match in a deeply wounded woman. Neither is looking for love, but their lives are forever linked by necessity, later by friendship, and finally, love.

The author is a brilliant and vivid storyteller, and I could picture their lives, intimate moments, and loving inactions. This is a great, clean romance, and I highly recommend it.

Good Business

This was the first time reading this author and it won't be the last. It was wonderful watching to strong and different personalities come together. Both Joelle and Giovanni have gone through different process of the young lives, but the way it blends was so smooth.

[Ava Smith-forrest · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Lennox Man

A great read. Vanni thought he was all he would ever need until he came across sweet smart mouth Jojo and she turned him upside down with love. And he gave her a family.

[Martha Ruff · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Nice Read😊

Giovanni and Jocelyn chemistry was explosive. They constantly got under each other skin, however there was no denying that they were attracted to one another. I'm glad that that they received their on HEA!!!

[Audrey Cobb · Rating 5 out of 5]

Making You My Business

These Lennox men really have it going on. It is just too bad they had a mother who couldn't stick around to recognize what she had in her children. Keep writing these HEA's Tina. Love your work.

[Athea · Rating 5 out of 5]

The story of Giovanni and Joelle was cute. He was rude and annoying and she was standoffish and guarded.. I liked how determined Giovanni was to make her become his after speaking with her a couple of times. It was a quick , and cute love affair.

[LaToya Brooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

Never disappoints

Tina always brings it. Does it ever take longer than a month to fall in love. She does an awesome job and always keeps me entertained

[Chefgirlardee · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved Jojo & Vanni's relationship! So sad that Joelle lost her family but she gained so much more when she met Giovanni. I'm loving the Lennox family series!

Vanni and JoJo I really enjoyed this book, it takes a person like him to calm him down. I loved how he showed her even with her scars she was still beautiful.

[pamela gentry · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great Story!

Once again enjoy ed the suspense and surprise ending. I like the way the characters matured and switched roles. It was nice to see love conquer all.

Clean Love

This book is definitely a top notch romance. Well written, realistic, gives the reader a warn fuzzy. Makes you laugh, has a person cheering for characters at times.

[Aline Monteiro-Bovell · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked this one. Giovanni was determined. I do think Joelle gave in faster than I was expecting. I liked them together.

[Beatirce Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a very good book to read.

We Can Survive

What a happy/sad story . Two broken people tip toeing around each other because of loss, hurt, abandonment, and the fear of it happening again.

[Tiffany · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love that heals...

Giovanni Lennox aka Mr. Arrogant finally got to experience what his older brother Remington has ; true love. Giovanni fell hard and quick for Joelle Bannon. Jojo was a women who had endured a lot of pain when she was younger only to have a similar scare at the lodge were she worked. Some wounds are harder to deal with and Jojo closed her heart for those reasons. The scene where Joelle finally opened up to Vanni about losing her family was everything. Then taken a step further when she let Vanni see the scars was very emotional for me. To have a man look past the physical beauty to see the beauty within is what true love is about. I love that Giovanni was willing to love her hurt and pain away. Even Joelle changed Giovanni for the better to help him interact with people better. In every book I try to look for a message that sticks out to me personally and I found it with Giovanni which is love that heals. These Lennox men are incredible. Can't wait to see who is next. Congratulations, for another great book.

Tina another great story this author never disappoint.

[Debra Outlaw · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fire, love and desire

I loved Giovanni and Noelle. I enjoyed the way their relationship evolved. It didn't seem rushed. The only complaint I have is ....the length too short. I hope in the next books we will continue to interact with all family members. Emory should have at least twins by now. Lol

[Kendra Holiday · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Must Read!!!!

Giovanni and Joelle...JoJo and Vanni...Lord have mercy the heat, the laughter, the love. Yes, this book was all of that and some! I can't wait for the next Lennox sibling's story.

[Cynta Outterbridge · Rating 4 out of 5]
