Jamal Turner is near the top of his game. Widely-known as the trusted right-hand man to music mogul Chris Scaife, he’s poised to become chief operating officer of his friend and mentor’s international recording conglomerate. But while his career prospects have never been better, Jamal is still plagued by the memories of his humble beginnings, threatening to pull him back down just as he’s on the come up. Makayla Hughes knows who she is and where she comes from, and she flat out refuses to allow working in the high-powered recording industry to change her or her most closely-held friendships. But when she’s thrown into close quarters, working on a project with the notorious Jamal Turner, she begins to wonder whether her determination to ‘keep it real’ is also keeping her world very, very small. Jamal is drawn to Makayla, but he can’t let the man he used to be stand in the way of the man he’s becoming. There’s no doubt she fits into the life Jamal used to have, but what’s not as clear is whether she belongs in the life he wants.

From the Author Makayla Hughes watched from across the club as Jamal Turner glanced at his watch for the third time in as many minutes. In fact, she'd been watching him ever since he entered. It hadn't been difficult to do since he was about a head taller than most of the other men there. And the way he carried himself, with such obvious self-assurance was an attention-getter as well. Not that she didn't already know who he was--everyone at Scaife did. Jamal Turner was SE's rainmaker. He secured big names and closed even bigger deals, and was known to be in the innermost of inner circles of the big boss himself; sought after by headhunters from Sony, Virgin and just about every other entertainment conglomerate on the planet. But Jamal Turner was almost as emblematic of Scaife Enterprises as the man himself. Not too many people could boast of being practical besties with Robyn Scaife, invited to every single family event and able to get on Chris Scaife's calendar whenever they wanted; but Jamal Turner could. Rumor had it he could waltz into Chris Scaife's office at will, sitting on the edge of his desk and taking the kind of liberties no one else would dare, like calling him "Boss Man" with a mixture of deference and irony that was hard to question. Makayla herself had once heard him do it, when at a company party she was standing just five feet away from Chris Scaife and his pretty wife and Jamal Turner approached them both. Robyn Scaife's eyes lit up at the sight of him and the boss had looked on with barely concealed impatience as his wife and friend embraced. To say that Turner's reputation preceded him would have been an understatement, but precede him it did. Long before she even scored the job in the PR department, Makayla had heard of him, back when she was at CUNY-Brooklyn and scouring the internet for leads on internships in the entertainment industry. Turner's notoriety was partly because he was known to have forged-in-steel friendships with some of the artists he helped develop, and partly because he was just so damned photogenic. With the dark chocolate complexion, erect, hard-body posture and winning smile, his image just begged to be memorialized in photographs. And somewhere along the line, he'd apparently learned the colors that accentuated his rich darkness--orange, white, yellows and occasionally a powder blue. He was gorgeous, there was no getting around that--the kind of gorgeous that could make a girl just the tiniest bit pissed off.

12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. My, my my... By Amazon Customer So...after reading it twice I suppose I can finally pull myself together enough to write a review.I really liked Jamal's character from Afterwards and Afterburn and I was ecstatic when I found out that he would be getting his own book.Makayla was a 'new' character, but I knew that I was going to like her just from reading the first chapter. I loved her relationship with her Nana and I especially loved her bond with Devin and how she stuck by his side from beginning to end.Jamal, Jamal, JAMAL! Whew. What can I say? As I said, I liked him in the other books, but now? I am in love with him. The man is a beast in the music industry AND the bedroom. He was funny, intelligent, and didn't 'pull any punches'! Makayla was saucy and smart enough to keep him on his toes.I loved the age difference between the two. I loved how the two of them were from the same place and although they were in difference places now, they had that connection to one another.And of course, I loved catching up with the other couples and getting more insight to Jamal's friendship with Chris. Also, a few unanswered questions from Afterburn were answered (the gender of Chris and Robyn's new baby, Chris' career plans).This book was WELL, and I do mean WELL worth the wait. I read it twice in two days. I am with another reviewer with saying that this cannot be it! No, no, no, Nia. You cannot give us a man like Jamal and the woman who snatched his player's card and just give them...one book. We want more!
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. It's a come up for many reasons... By UrbanHooks Of course, the first thing I love about this story is Makayla with her locs! Thank you Nia Forrester for adding that character detail along with the use of the term "locs" instead of the dreadful moniker. I love that Jamal likes non-traditional and appreciates beauty beyond the surface. I love Makayla's intelligence; it's so reminiscent of Riley. I also love her loyalty and commitment. I love Jamal; very reminiscent of Chris, but his own man with his own convictions. I love the slow building of romance and love that intensifies over time. I love the passion of a couple and this story met my expectations. I finished in a day because I couldn't put it down"!
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Compelling, Poignant, and Satisfying. By J.L. Campbell So now that I've dried my eyes and reabsorbed this story a little bit, it's time to put down my thoughts. I first read The Come Up a month or so ago and then picked it up again last week to refresh my memory before writing the review. One thing led to another and before I knew it, I was deep inside the story again, which surprised me because I can't remember when was the last time I re-read a book.Anyhoo … Jamal – a man's man and a woman's dream-come-true. Although he wasn't about making a commitment and fought it somewhat, he had to be true to himself eventually. Like a man who's busy getting ahead, certain things take precedence, and making the right connections and having the perfect partner are among those.Well, Ms. Mackayla turned all of that upside down. Young, but mature in her own right, she sticks to her principles and doesn't stand for foolishness. Not many women will display the kind of loyalty and strength she does in standing by her friend, Devin, despite knowing what she stands to lose careerwise.In this novel, the writer uses 'the other woman' not in a catty role, but in a way that highlights Jamal's desirability as a partner. Plus she deftly paints a picture of the 'quiet desperation' that grips some of us when we feel we're getting to what we think is our expiration date. The author did this with style and grace, making me sympathetic although of course, I didn't want Madison mucking up the romance between Jamal and Makayla.For me, these two lead characters made the book enjoyable reading. I also like Ms. Forrester's writing style, which has a literary feel, and have no doubt I'll be backtracking to the books that came before The Come Up. If I was asked to confine my thoughts on this story to three words, I'd chose compelling, poignant, and satisfying.
