Official Site: www.planetAbiola.com DARE is the adventurous, high energy, smart, funny, sexy debut novel by BET host ABIOLA ABRAMS; A sociologist who goes undercover and winds up in too deep as a racy rapper searching for love in the crazy world of entertainment. Dare has sizzle, lyrics, poetry and romance as well as spirituality and motivation.
MEET MAYA HOPE. Double-dipped in cocoa with brick-house curves, she's a lover of jazz, a political poet, and a sociologist. Her best friend and roommate, Athena, is her opposite in every way -- a petite ex-cheerleader who's always blaring rap, grinding out rhymes, and ready to take the next man home. When Maya is forced to pinch-hit in an audition and bust Athena's rhymes, she finds herself on an undercover escapade in the wild world of hip-hop as the raw, sexy, roughneck Jezebel. After striking a deal with her own personal devil, Maya sets off on the tempting roller-coaster ride of a lifetime -- finding music, more fun than she's ever had, and even a fine man or two...but not without consequences. Brimming with electric sensuality, Abiola's DARE is an unforgettable, envelope-pushing odyssey of two gutsy women playing by their own rules. Does Maya find joy or lose herself?
