About this Book

Take a rapper--not just any rapper, but the number one rapper in the country--and give him anything and everything he wants, whenever he wants it, however he wants it. Now, take this same rapper and tell him he can't have the one woman he is driven to possess above all others. What do you get? A rough and steamy saga of love that would make your mother blush. Debra Clayton's hard-hitting, astonishingly surefooted first novel takes readers on an unforgettable journey through the high-stakes world of hip-hop. Meet Anthony Talbert, a.k.a. Animalistic. Easily the most gifted rhyme-master of his generation, Animalistic is the quintessential Rap Superstar, saddled with more fame than he can stand, more money than he can spend, and more beautiful women than he knows what to do with. Meanwhile, Randi Jacobs, an aspiring writer and filmmaker, is thoroughly ensconced in anonymity. She has nothing but her unrealized dreams--and a painful past that persists in dogging her every step. When Anthony meets Randi, he makes the mistake of treating her like all the other women in his life. Randi quickly rebuffs Anthony's offer of a single night of passion--for Randi, it just ain't that type of party. Flummoxed by her unwillingness to participate in his games, Anthony determines to pursue Randi with all he has, even if it means turning her world upside down. As the pair engages in a tumultuous cat-and-mouse chase in pursuit of this bewildering thing called love, author Clayton spins a seamless fusion of romance, comedy, and expertly calibrated suspense.
