Description
Hip music critic Dwayne Robinson has two main gigs: defending rap’s rightful place in the music industry and scoring as many women as possible. But this smooth-talking b-boy has yet to try working love into his lingo–until “buppie” Danielle Embry slides into and rocks his world.A Connecticut suburbanite, Danielle is as far removed from Dwayne’s Brooklyn ghetto upbringing as it gets. Yet despite this clash, these unlikely lovers are drawn together. While struggling to grind out a harmonious tune amid the grit and glamour of New York City, they soon find themselves confronted with issues that cut deeper than either of them bargained for. . . .
