ABOUT ABIOLA’S BOOK: DARE is the crazy, sexy, smart debut novel by Abiola Abrams about two women who dare to step outside themselves to get a life.
DARE is the sizzling story of a sociologist who goes undercover as a racy rapper and winds up in too deep, searching for love in the glam world of entertainment, a searing tale of love, music and temptation.
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 Jackson, 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 man or two...but not without consequences. An off the hook cast of colorful characters includes Lucy, the diva deluxe brand-addicted publicist from hell; Shell the Boy Wonder, wonderkind entrepreneurial label mogul party boy and Thug, the gritty handsome hardcore rapper with something to prove.
