Contact:Take it There![]() Title: Take It There Author: Kaira Denee 300 Pages ISBN 13: 978-1-59983-028-5 Publisher: Urban Soul Buy on Amazon Kaira’s debut novel, Take it There, introduces the dynamic trio of Brittany, Nia and Shari. The new breed of young African American professionals who epitomize the “other” nine to five, where urban professionals trade their proper English, phony smiles and professional demeanor for street savvy, quick tongued around the way vernacular and mannerisms. Will taking it there prove to be disastrous for the girls or will it lead them to ultimate happiness? Brittany’s outlandish views of love and sex are entertaining at most, but sad because there are many women out there that think just like her. Self centered, raunchy and sometimes obnoxiously conceited, Brittany is the token character that you love to hate. Unfortunately, she lands in a heap of trouble midway through the story and a softer, more human side brilliantly shines through and finally, you begin to feel sorry for her ignorance and relate to her misguided views of life. Think of an African American version of Charlotte from Sex and the City when describing Nia. Her innocence is sometimes laughable. Nia proves to often be a voice of reason to her friends. Astonishingly beautiful, Nia’s the only one who doesn’t quite realize it, at first. Until she meets a special friend while away on a business trip, Nia thinks her life is good enough. She’d just reunited with an ex boyfriend (who didn’t deserve a second chance), but left Houston still fantasizing about her new friend. Shari’s marriage would make anyone jealous. Her husband, Dexter, is a breath of fresh air. Shari has a shaky history of past relationships that prevents her from fully trusting her husband. When Shari does the ultimate no-no by letting another woman stay in her house, her downward, and sometimes maniacal spiral of her insecurities weakens her to the point of running home to her momma. And her husband running away from her. With humor, steamy sex scenes and oh so realistic situations, the drama of Take it There is sure to entertain and hopefully teach young women a thing or two about respecting their bodies. It’s a great read for anyone that likes to sit back, laugh, cry and blush at the realistic dialogue and situations. Listen to Kaira's InterviewAdd Comment |
