Love T.K.O.
Stunning Yasmin Ohaji is every man's fantasy, but the popular marriage counselor is too busy to bother with romance. Still, Rashawn Bishop isn't giving up. The pro boxer is wooing her with finesse and fancy footwork, and his powerful build makes her weak in all the right places. He's definitely not her type, but she's deliciously tempted.…
Rashawn can't sleep, can't train and can't concentrate—all because of Yasmin. When he's not coming up with ways to show her they're not so different, he's dreaming of possessing every inch of her luscious curves. And when Yasmin finally surrenders, she becomes his everything. But love means making choices. Now, with his career on the line, will he follow the lure of boxing…or the woman he can't live without?

About the author
Pamela Yaye
73 books48 followersMy love for reading developed at an early age. My parents, Daniel and Gwendolyn Odidison, were both avid readers and encouraged me to read as much as possible. Trips to the public library were the highlight of my week and by the time I was in junior high I was reading everything from biographies to suspense to True Confession magazines!
I got my big “break” when I was only fourteen-years-old. I read my first poem at my local church and received a standing ovation. Reading my poems and seeing my plays come to life on stage proved to me that I had a God-given talent for the written word.
After graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Christian Education, I hugged my family goodbye and boarded a plane for Seoul, South Korea. I loved every minute of living in Seoul. The people, the food, the culture, the shopping. Three years later, I returned home with a fresh outlook on life and a gorgeous fiancé (yay me!) Jean-Claude and I married, settled into our new home and now have an adorable, three-year-old daughter named Aysiah who keeps us very busy.
I penned my first novella while teaching in South Korea and upon the advice of a good friend and colleague I transformed, Other People’s Business, into a full-length novel. I wrote The Trouble With Luv’ soon after. Two years and thirty rejection letters later, I signed with super-agent Sha-Shana Crichton from Crichton and Associates. Six weeks later I had a two-book deal contract with Harlequin’s African-American Romance line, Kimani Press.
Her Kind of Man, and Love T.K.O. were both released in ’08, and this year there are more scintillating stories to come. I’ve written seven books now, but I feel like I’m just getting started! A huge thanks to all of you who attend my book signings, send me I-love-your-book-emails, leave messages on my Facebook page and who are recommending my books to other die-hard romantics. Sage Collins and Marshall Grant will heat things up in Games of the Heart (August 2009) and a feisty PR Director and a fine, ex-NFL running back rekindle the flames in Passion Overtime (November 2009). Read an excerpt of my novels under the heading Books.
If you enjoy a good romance story, rich with desire, scorching HOT love scenes and a few unexpected twists and turns along the way, you’ve come to the right place. Grab one of my books, recline in a comfy chair and enjoy the ride! I guarantee you’ll love the heroes and heroines featured in my stories. They’re strong but flawed men and women who are just looking for a little love and tenderness! That’s all for now, friends.
Happy Reading and be blessed!

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

Opposites Attract
Marriage counselor Yasmin Ohaji is so busy counseling others on their love lives that she's neglected her own. Enter Rashawn Bishop, a sexy boxer, with eyes for Yasmin. Despite his efforts, Yamsin just isn't trying to go back down lovers' lane. Will Rashawn be able to chip away at the wall that Yasmin has around her heart?
"Love TKO" started slow. It wasn't until around the middle of the book that it got really interesting with the circumstances and obstacles faced. Because of that, it seemed almost as if the story was stretched unnecessarily. Once the story picked up, however, it was good. I really like reading about an independent woman.
If you like love stories and don't mind the length, "Love TKO" is a good read.
