Christina C. Jones’s Strictly Professional series takes on the workplace romance trope with two books that are separated by five years of real-world publishing time. The first book, Strictly Professional, came out in 2014 and set up the tension between two people trying to keep their relationship business-only. Anyone who has read a “we shouldn’t be doing this” office romance knows how that usually turns out.
Unfinished Business arrived in 2019 as a follow-up, picking up the threads Jones left in the original story. The five-year gap between books suggests the characters had some living to do before their story could continue. Jones handles the workplace setting with specificity, grounding the romance in real professional stakes while keeping the emotional chemistry between her leads at the forefront.
