4.0 out of 5 stars A Sexual Coming of Age, February 20, 2003

By 

The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Love Don't Come Easy (Paperback)

Love Don't Come Easy is the sexual coming of age story of Eric Brown, Jr. The book begins with Eric's first love and takes us throughout his different relationships and romantic liaisons to show how different women impact his life and affect his views and perspectives on love.

As an adult, Eric has what most people would call a perfect life. He makes a good living as a male nurse, has a nice luxury condominium, a brand new car, and loving, supportive friends and family. However, he lacks what he most desires-a meaningful relationship. To make matters worse, he has found and fallen in love with his soul mate-his best friend's wife. Drawing upon all his lessons in love, he must make the ultimate decision-a lifelong happiness with the love of his life, or saving the relationship he has had with his best friend.

Alex Hairston has written a beautiful novel that shows how relationships that begin as young as our teenage years are influential in shaping who we are. Eric's story is engrossing, at times erotic, and is reminiscent of first love and true love. This novel is a quick, ntertaining read that is both poetic and erotic. I eagerly anticipate future works from this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing, April 24, 2003

By 

Jackie S. Chrisp (Harlem, Georgia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Love Don't Come Easy (Paperback)

Extraordinary, amazing, funny, realistic, touching and by far the best novel ever published. The author focuses on one main character, Eric, but uses other characters that help him experience, grow and learn about the hard lessons of life and love. Eric has to continually find a balance between who and what he loves the most and doing the right thing. At the end, the different phases of life and experiences has allowed him to become the man he ultimately wants and knows he can be.

This novel touches you in some many ways. From the very realistic life experiences to the very visual scenes you are transformed to visualize in your mind. I loved the oh so very enticing moments the book had as well as the very descriptive words used by the characters. The characters were so real life to me that sometimes I put myself in the novel and somehow experienced what was going on.

Mr. Alex Hairston is commended for his excellent novel because
he is truly an author that is nothing less than amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full Circle, June 28, 2003

By 

Shanda G Dixon (Monroe, LA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Love Don't Come Easy (Paperback)

Eric symbolizes both male and female characteristics. He learns, he loves, he lets go, and he lives. Through experiencing life he meets the women who molded him: Monica, Stacey, Candie. Eric reached a turning point, that's what all of us aspire to do. Whether good or bad, a decision is made. A line is crossed or the circle of deciet continues. Eric got out of the circle and embraced life. Marvelous Alex, can't wait for the next one.
