JUST BUSINESS by Jenny Cross is NOW LIVE!
Blurb:
Country music star Austin James’ career is slowly unraveling. When faced with an ultimatum, he seeks refuge in small town Alabama.
Maybe its singing river and legendary studio are exactly what he needs to find his way back to himself.
What he doesn’t expect is Penny Miller, the fiercely independent studio owner. She’s filled with a stubborn fire that threatens to burn down every wall he’s built around himself.
Penny is fighting to revive her family’s recording studio and carve out her place in a male dominated industry. A floundering country music star is the last thing she needs.
Penny’s determined to keep things just business with the lines of professionalism firmly in place, but Austin James’ flirty smile and undeniable charm is hard to resist.
Haunted by heartache, she finds her life hitting the same notes as his, their worlds slowly harmonizing in ways she never expected. Their chemistry is undeniable, but so are the risks. Will this be their undoing, or the first verse of something new?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
Just Business was a beautiful story! I read somewhere that this was a debut novel from Jenny Cross, and I was quite impressed!
Both Austin and Penny are dealing with some major baggage, and I really liked how they were just *there* for one another. This story is not lighthearted and frilly, but deals with some heavy themes (familiar abuse, alcoholism/addiction, grief) — and Jenny Cross handles it wonderfully. The pacing is right, the chemistry between the two MCs leaps off the page, and the slow burn between Austin and Penny had me rooting for them every step of the way.
I am definitely keeping Just Business on my re-read list and look forward to more from this author! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
