Summary: If you only Knew by Alex Hairston
Review: "If you only knew" is another masterpiece that was created by the one and only Alex Hairston. The story in this book is totally different from Mr. Hariston's first book "Love don't come easy" and in my opinion that says a lot about the author's creativity. So, I have to give it up to Alex for writing this story from a different perspective.
This book is about a very good man with a kind hart named; Jamal King who loves his women Jessica unconditionally. He loved his women enough to forgive her after she messed up badly.In the real world I know some women that fail to appreciate a man like Jamal King until he is long gone. And this story is a perfect example of that. Every reader can learn the simple life lessons from this story such as not to take kind people for granted and to learn how to forgive one another. I really enjoyed reading this book and I am sure other readers will too. Keep up the good work Alex!

Summary: A real page-turner
Review: Alex Hairston has done it again. This book left me yearning for more. Alex does a fantastic job with character development. I felt like I knew each one of them personally. The title really fits the story. Jamal has a heck of a lot of DRAMA to deal with. It was refreshing to read about a brother with values and morals. Alex did an outstanding job writing from both the male and female perspective. He was able to capture a true female voice. I highly recommemnd this book to anyone looking to read a book with substance.

Summary: I Reccomend This Book!
Review: Alex Hairston is an excellent writer and the story was very good! I never wanted to put this book down. My only problem with the story was the lead character Jamal - I liked him but he was a total pushover.

Summary: Does money makes the world go round?
Review: Jamal King is a talented artist who makes a modest amount of money selling his art wherever he can. He also works as an assistant manager of an arts and crafts store. The love of his life, Jessica, has a desperate need for all the things money can buy; clothes, cars, houses and plenty of cash to line her purse. Of course, at this time Jamal can't supply those things for her so she casts her eyes on a friend they grew up with who makes plenty of money, but who also makes plenty of trouble, not only for himself but for Jessica and everyone around him as well.

Meanwhile, Jamal has found a long lost love from high school. She seems genuinely interested in Jamal's work as an artist and is supportive of him. She too, has been unlucky in her choice of lovers, but things seem right with Jamal and they move in together. Soon after they connect, Jamal's artwork attracts the attention of an attractive, African American art promoter. He needs to travel to art shows in order sell his works and it looks as if he's going to make a ton of money. That's when he finds out what his new love is really all about.

Meanwhile his favorite uncle dies and leaves behind a secret that hits the family like an exploding bomb. His twin sister's marriage is in trouble and a troublesome aunt is released from jail.

Using tangled love affairs, mixed-up family situations, explosive friendships complete with gunshots and cops, Alex Hairston has woven an exciting tale that holds your interest from the first page.
