Can't get enough of it!!

I love reading...but when I read E.Lynn Harris novels, I always feel as though I'm living in that moment!! I even read the novels over and over again!!!! That's how much I LOVE his work!!!!

Hits it with his best shot!

I'm writing this review at 2:41 a.m. and I have a very full day ahead of me. That, in itself, speaks volumes for E. Lynn Harris' latest novel. All I have to say is this book delivered on every level. Drama! Intrigue! Sex! Quick, somebody call Tyler Perry!!! I was looking for a scandal and a scorcher and found it in this book. The relationship between AJ and Dray had all of that and a plot loaded with twists and turns thrown in. I got sucked into their relationship right away and couldn't put the book down. Mr. E. Lynn Harris, your creative writing style gets better every time! Did I mention hilarious? There were several times when I couldn't contain myself and laughed my head off. Seriously, I laughed hard and had moments when I felt like I wanted to cry just as hard. I liked the style of this story. No trash novel here, E. Lynn Harris is doing a fine job of telling a story and keeing it fresh, hot and real. All I can tell you without ruining the experience is that this is a story between two people and it is intense, provocative and riveting. And that's "real talk." I don't usually read the same author back to back, but I've got another E. Lynn Harris novel waiting for me and I can't wait to get to it. Tyler Perry, I hope you are reading this because I envision this novel as a screenplay and a Tyler Perry production!

Now thats what I call a GREAT read!!!

E Lynn Harris has once again knocked me out with his work! "Basketball Jones" was so good it was hard for me to put it down, and I was sad when I reached the ending!! Aldridge "AJ" Richardson and Drayton "Dray" Jones have been secret lovers since AJ tutored Dray in Algebra back in college. Dray goes on to have a successful NBA career and AJ is still in his life, as a secret of course. Dray can't imagine his family or teammates finding out he is gay. So AJ goes along with keeping the relationship a secret, even when Dray takes a wife to quiet questions about his relationship with AJ. Aj deals with it becasue he loves Dray and Dray takes very good care of AJ financially. AJ happily follows Dray around the country just to make his "man" happy. Unfortunately, there is someone who knows about AJ and Dray and they will stop at nothing to either get paid or expose the sordid affair of a married NBA star and his gay lover. This book is 100 % a must read and a compelling story about love and how far someone will go to keep secrets.

Another page turner!

To my fellow readers, this is truly an amazing novel!! Once you pick it up you will not be able to put it down. There are sooooo many elements of this novel in which people can relate. Though this book is fiction, it is so full of truth! While reading this book, you will feel as if you are there with the characters....in the kitchen, the townhome...I'm telling too much...LOL!!!! E. Lynn did it again and I am avidly and anxiously awaiting the release of the Great Pretenders! Read it....and recommend it to a friend!!!

E Lynn Never Fails...Another Classic!!

I bought Basketball Jones around 5pm the day it came out and finished the book that night. I could not put it down! Basketball Jones is definitely a must read!! E Lynn is such an amazing author and captures the reader from start to finish. Basketball Jones is an intense story of two men in a relationship with many twist and turns I love how E Lynn novels are the perfect mixture of classy with a raw touch and Basketball Jones is just that. Trust me, this is well worth the money and you WILL NOT be disappointed!! Good Job E Lynn!! -Cory

Basketball Jones

Basketball Jones I just finished reading Basketball Jones and I absolutely enjoyed it. This book is vintage E. Lynn Harris. The relationships are complex and intense. He captures the varied perspectives of the characters and leaves you wanting a sequel because you do not want the story to end. I am a HUGE fan and have read all his books. Now I have to get my girls to read this one so we can talk about it over lunch and a mojito!
