Summary: Another Major Winner
Comment: I have read all of Marcus Major's novels, including his novella in Got To Be Real. It is so much fun for the constant reader to come across characters from other stories - it's almost like you're part of the "club." Cameo appearances by Ibn, Mike and Stacy from Four Guys and Trouble made an already engrossing story even more fun to read. I recommend anything by Marcus Major - he's a great story teller and will have you riveted from beginning to... well, here's hoping this isn't the end to the tales of the Moore family!
Rating: 4
Summary: Great Read!
Comment: Family Affair takes you back to the Moore family who are introduced in Major's debut, Good Peoples. The family learns that Mr. Moore has been stepping out on his wife and it's threatening the family bond. The Moore's are also trying to deal with their 17 year old niece who seems to be headed for trouble until Marissa, (Myles wife) intervenes. Amir and Kenya are still happily married and raising their 7 year old twin daughters.
This book was a great read, however it was too short. I can't wait to read more of Major's work.

Summary: A Family Affair
Comment: Having been a fan of Marcus Major's work since reading Amir and Kenya from the anthology Got To Be Real through A Man Most Worthy, I was not disappointed with A Family Affair. The novel was well written and I read it in one sitting. It was refreshing to see the importance of family, love and commitment through its characters and their respective strengths and flaws. Marcus did a wonderful job displaying the family bond between Peggy Moore and her niece, Jasmine. I found it also interesting that he focused on the friendship between Amir (Myles's brother) and Carlos (Myles's best friend) when it came to marriage and commitment. They both had much in common than either realized besides the fact that their respective spouses, Kenya and Jackie, work together. The dual lovemaking scenes was beautifully written yet hilarious. The addition of Jasmine to the Moore family and her love interest, Darius, was innocent yet sweet. Perhaps there is a sequel in the makings for these two young lovebirds? Only Marcus knows for sure.
I enjoyed the appearances of Ibn, Mike and Stacy from 4 Guys and Trouble (my personal favorite). It was nice to get an update on some of those characters. The only minor exception I had with A Family Affair was that both Ibn and Stacy seemed out of character in this book to me. There were several scenes I found myself scratching my head and asking, "Was that really Ibn?" Also, I didn't realize who Stacy was until Chapter 17.
I'm glad we also had an update on Myles and Marisa from Good Peoples. It was encouraging to see they're happily married and prosperous. If you enjoyed Good Peoples, but haven't read A Family Affair yet, then I won't spoil the ending for you. You certainly won't be disappointed.
