Once more Ms. Lovely has created a drama-packed, well-plotted page turner. I enjoyed this book very much, even though it seemed slightly less true-to-life than the first book. Most prominent of these was that the Livingstons are depicted as having much more wealth (holdings in the "tens of millions," million-dollar gifts given to the sons of the family when they turn 30), than would seem plausible for people who simply own a few soul food restaurants all located in one city (with a recent branch...more
As soon as I got this book, I put down the book I had been reading. The first book in this series, 'All Up in My Business' had sold me on this new group of characters and even more so on the author, who I had already become a fan of during her previous series. As soon as I began reading MYOB I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. This book grabbed me from the beginning and again, I couldn't put it down. The storyline branched out to include Bianca and Jefferson Livingston, siblings who were competin...more

This was a true page-turner and there we...more
This was a great sequel to All Up In My Business. Lovely tied up all the loose ends, as well as incorporating new drama (the Livingstons are no strangers to drama) into the mix. In this follow-up, Bianca and Jefferson Livingston, the children of Ace and Diane, are vying for the management position at the new West Coast location of Taste of Soul. While Bianca and Jefferson are putting forth their best professional effort, they each have personal motives for wanting to relocate to LA from Atlanta....more

Again, we also have the familiar players Ace and Candace and their kids. Ace and Candace are trying to put their marriage back together afte...more
Another page-turner. I couldn't bring myself to pull away from this story, wanting to know what happens next in each chapter, until I looked up and saw that I spent a day with non-stop reading this book. The only time I stopped was to feed my son, use the rest room, or check my emails. I laughed, cried, screamed and hollered falling in love with each character and their story. I cannot wait to see how it all plays out. There are twists in each corner and I must admit that one, no two of them sti...more
Drama! drama! drama! is all I can say.I didn't read the first book for this story.. All Up in My Business.however, this second book by Lutishia Lovely dishes up a decadent helping of love, lust, greed, and secrecy in this riveting tale of a family's soul food dynasty...this book is like a soap opera.
The Livingstons are a very successful family in the restaurant business, but as in every family, there is plenty of drama and secrets.

This is the 2nd book in the series and it was wonderful! The levingston family is still running a successful restaurant business in this book. This book brings its focus on 2 siblings Bianca and Jefferson. Its started off kind of slow but once this story started getting exciting it was truly hard to put down. I found this book so funny, surprising, and suspenseful. The ending was so shocking!
This is the second book in Lovely's business series. I thought it was a great read! It held my attention from the beginning. It didn't take a long time for me to get through it. I believe that I would have read it in one sitting but; life gets in the way. There were many surprises throughout the story. that one would never be able to predict. I highly recommend this book.
The book got off to a slow start and almost made me think I'd made a bad choice for my next audiobook but it didn't let me down once I got over the beginning hump. I also didn't realize there was a story before it so I plan to read that in the near future. And I know there has to be a follow up in the series because the book ends as if to say "wait until you see what's coming next..". So bring it on Livingstons and friends/frenemies!
I really enjoyed Mind Your Own Business, Lutisha Lovely does a fantastic job of giving a synopsis of the first book without dragging the storyline out like some authors do in sequels.
I enjoyed how she has so many twists throughout this story, it makes you keep reading to find out she's going to end this saga.

It's the Livingston clan against the world. No one who ever dated, work for, or knows a Livingston want to get even with a member of that family no matter what. In walks a nut case who dares to try and get even. Big big mistake.
So the drama continues which is to be expected with the wealthy. A good follow up to the 1st and look forward to the 3rd. Sometimes her scenes are a little too descriptive and is just plain TMI but the story is good.
Good read lots of twist and turns.........can't wait to see what happens next.
Loved it! Can't wait to read the next book in the series. Love her books!
Different from what I normally read, but over all not bad.
Lutishia has done it again! The Livingston's Series is so good. I love the drama, suspense and love that flows through this family.
Great story with lost of twists. A good read.
