Somebody Else's Business by Charlton James is a superb novel of drama, tragedy, and intrigue. Immediately readers' attention is drawn by the curiosity of the character's find and the reaction chain it causes. Relationships are on the line of breaking...destructive, emotional, and powerful tale of how someone else's business gets picked up by another and another until the damage appears, and everything is never the same. Charlton James is a master at suspense and creating a novel that sparks, entertains, fascinates readers. The characters are well-developed and the pages are well-written in a way that will forever entice readers to its plot. Charlton James as a dramatic flare for creating the juiciest drama and trouble readers shall ever find. I fell in love with this talented writer's words and the scenes that unfolded before me. Somebody Else's Business is definitely a must read for those who love Pretty Little Liars, Downton Abby, and Manchester. Overall, I highly recommend this stunning story to readers worldwide.

I have 3 words to describe this book "Fab U Lous" the storyline leads you down several different paths of suspense and intrigue, there are twists and turns that you never see coming. While reading this book I would immerse myself so deeply that I felt as though I were one of the characters in the story. This is my first read of a Charlton James novel but I can promise you it won't be my last. Bravo Mr. James you have a new fan, I will definitely recommend your book to my family & friends. I'm looking forward to your next work! 

 "Charlton James is a master storyteller who has the gift of painting his characters so that they come out larger than life."

Somebody Else's Business by Charlton James is an intriguing drama that weaves together the lives of people from completely different walks of life. Sergeant Major John Willoughby has just proposed to his fiancée, Tiffany Adams, and the two seem destined to have a beautiful life together. Called to action and deployed to Afghanistan, things do not go as they planned. John sends a moving letter to Tiffany from Kabul and the story starts to unravel. Kelly finds the letter accidentally and decides to keep it, intending to utilize it to the detriment of her own relationship.

The letter ends up in the wrong place and what follows next is an unbelievable turn of events that destroys the relationship between Paul, whose secret finally unravels, and his wife, Diana. Somebody Else's Business by Charlton James is an interesting mixture of intrigue, romance, and tragedy. It starts off innocently enough with the madly in love couple, John and Tiffany, getting engaged in a most romantic way. And just when you settle down to read what seems like a normal love story, events take a number of unlikely twists and turns. A beautiful love letter from war torn Afghanistan ends up in the wrong hands and sets off a chain of unlikely events that, strangely enough, sounds credible. This is because Charlton James is a master storyteller who has the gift of painting his characters so that they come out larger than life. This is a story of love and hope, betrayal and deception.

Somebody Else’s Business is a book that will leave a strange aftertaste in your mouth, long after you finished reading it.

"Somebody Else’s Business is by far and away character driven. With the right actors to portray John and Tiffany, I can easily see this novel as a nice movie."

Somebody Else’s Business by Charlton James is a fun, easy to read novel that has something for everyone. It is full of pleasant minor characters that help to make the story come alive. Tiffany and John are the perfect couple. There is absolutely nothing that I did not like about them and found myself praying that they would still be so much in love as the plot went through its many twists and turns. Every great couple risks being called too perfect and every couple thinks that making their partner happy is worth that risk. They are about to be tested. John and Tiffany are in love and the whole world knows it. But what happens when Somebody Else’s Business threatens your own happiness?

 The strongest aspect of Somebody Else’s Business can be summed up in one word: characterization. Don’t get me wrong. The plot is good. The development is solid and the writing fits the story like a glove, but Somebody Else’s Business is by far and away character driven. With the right actors to portray John and Tiffany, I can easily see this novel as a nice movie. In a way, it seems Charlton James writes with the big screen in mind. Beautiful settings with beautiful people will make it difficult for Hollywood to resist this one. If you have a leisurely weekend and want to immerse yourself in a romantic world, pick up a copy of Somebody Else’s Business and a pint of your favorite ice cream and enjoy.

" Any reader who enjoys a captivating story that will keep them turning the pages from the start all the way through to the very end should absolutely read Somebody Else's Business!"

In an interesting and unique new work by author Charlton James, Somebody Else's Business is a book that will take many readers on a journey that just might feel familiar, that of situations in which one person gets involved in another person's life without having all the information they need. Follow the story of misunderstandings in the lives of several people, starting with a love letter misplaced by Tiffany Adams, then found by another woman named Kelly. When Kelly uses Tiffany's thoughts and expressions to tell her husband how she feels about him, a backlash ensues that she never could have expected. And when housekeeper Maria gets involved with some pieced together information that she has, things become even more complex. Will all of these complicated tangles get figured out? You'll need to read the book to find out!

I very much enjoyed Somebody Else's Business. Author Charlton James has done a very good job of creating characters that his readers will truly be able to connect with and relate to. Many of us have become embroiled in situations similar to those in this story, and will certainly understand the twists and turns that life can take when others move forward with something that they think they know, when they do not, in fact, have all the information. Any reader who enjoys a captivating story that will keep them turning the pages from the start all the way through to the very end should absolutely read Somebody Else's Business!
