Unfinished Business is the follow up to Strictly Professional. This was a book that I really needed to read because I actually felt like I had unfinished business with the main characters Gabi and Terrence. I wanted, no again needed to know how their lives were going, what path life had taken them and how they navigated it. These were too wonderful characters in SP and I was invested in them. I wanted to read about their success and even their failures if there were some. I liked this couple and wanted them happy, especially Gabi. This was a young woman you truly deserved a joy filled life because until Terrence came along happiness was at a minimum for her. I was excited to read about the rest of their journey.UB begins five years later from the time SP ended and we find out that Gabi and Terrence are no longer together but remain close friends, committed to raising their daughter Jos. What? Not together and for almost 4 years?? I needed a drink just to wrap my head around that. I needed another one when I found out why they were not together. I will just say that there was a moment when some not very lady like language could be heard around me. I knew they would hit a rough spot but 4 years? Seriously Christina Jones??Well that is just it; this is a Christina Jones story and with that comes her doses of real life reality. Life happened and just like in real life, people hurt your feelings and disappoint you. They make mistakes and let others into your lives when they shouldn't. They force you to make decision you might otherwise not make. Reality. So I prepare myself for the journey and hope it doesn't disappoint.UB did not. There wasn't anything about the story I didn't love. It was funny and endearing, sad and uplifting, sexy and romantic. I restrain from saying too much because I don't want to divulge the story but I will say that there is a "put the trifling chick in check" scence that is epic. Girl got told!This was the story I had hoped for Gabi and Terrence it captured the lightness of thier love in Strictly Professional but grew into something so much more substantial and special.
