Description

As a turnaround specialist, Joslyn Simonini spends her days analyzing corporate profit margins and trying to keep her likeness from being turned into a voodoo doll by company employees. If she does her job well, they often lose theirs. So, it comes as a surprise when she finds herself being kissed one day at work. She's even more shocked to find out that the mysterious kissing bandit is a woman. Not in the habit of kissing women, Joslyn tries to brush off the unintentional mistake. But before long, she's forced to examine the rush of emotions that accompanied the kiss, especially when she meets Raven Malvolio. At first, she needs Raven to complete her analysis, but she doesn't expect to need the friendship that Raven offers. When those friendly feelings escalate to something more, Joslyn's confusion and underdeveloped emotional range might ruin her chance at a relationship that could surpass even her dreams. Uncommon Emotions takes a look at how someone can think she's happy with her life only to be surprised by the passion she's yet to feel. (Special Edition includes epilogue never before in print.)… (more)

This was an okay read. I generally highlight memorable phrases or moments while reading, but that was not the case with Uncommon Emotions. Alllthooough, being hauled into a dark supply room and slapped with a languorous kiss from the softest lips would most definitely be the highlight of a

memorable day for me. Sigh, I should be so lucky. Moving on, the chemistry between Joslyn and Raven is there, but it takes some time to surface. Like others have mentioned, the conflict between the two women left me scratching my head. The author painted Joslyn and Raven as being such strong, independent, and loyal women, but yet she puts them in a conflict that’s beneath both their characters. Perhaps that’s the point: strong, independent, and loyal women are not immune to being pigheaded (more so Raven than Joslyn). Then again, I could be grasping at straws and the conflict is simply contrived.

Overall, a good read, but not one I will reread. Note: This is probably the first book where I feel more connected to the supporting characters than the main characters. Go figure! Hugs and smooches to Giovanni and Amalia, and Zina, “You go girl with ‘yo beautiful black self!”
