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.

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!

The Come Up edition by Nia Forrester Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
For some reason I've liked Jamal from the first time he was introduced in the Commitment series. The smart, driven, sexy as hell guy with the to die for personality. Yes he's been my main boo in the shadows. His own story did not disappoint. I liked the way the author showed his confident side, but also his little boy vulnerable side as well. Makayla was the other character that piqued my interest twofold... Mikayla was not used to money and success, furthermore at some point she seemed too caught up in not being alone like Jamal. Then there was Makayla's relationship with Devin, it always appeared off kilter. The relationship will become clearer later...wow its a doozy!!! And Jamal's little boy need to be loved had him vacillating between Madison and Makayla even when Jamal knew deep down Makayla held his heart. I liked the revisits with Chris, Robyn, Candace, Riley, Tracy Brendan, K Smooth and the rest of the crew. A nice continuation story. Well done..
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.
