Long before Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Lil Kim, Britney Spears, and Kim Kardashian lit up the Hollywood entertainment scene there was a little known dancer who went by the affectionate stage name Obla (pronounced Ahh-bla), whose sensuous dancing style took nightclub dancing to another level of art form and the word entertainment to a new level of enjoyment. Obla is a compelling romantic and erotic adventure set in San Diego, California in the year 1977.

Fresh out of navy boot camp in Orlando, Florida Richard Sinclair is a young adventurer en route to San Diego, California for formal training in the culinary arts - navy style. His overall goal is to get into the navy’s elite submarine program in Groton, Connecticut. During one of his visits to downtown San Diego, he happens upon Obla, a very unique and incredibly beautiful young woman, who also happens to be quite an eye-opening nightclub dancer, and with a bronze body to die for. Skeptical initially, Richard discovers that Obla is a woman of great warmth, charm and intelligence. She is also a woman of unspoken passion, charm, and intrigue. To those who believe they know her (and few really do) she is a sensuous dancer extraordinaire. To Richard she becomes his coveted angel of the night and enigmatic eighth wonder of the world, all rolled into one.

But there is more to Obla. There is a quiet mystery to this woman, one Richard would like to uncover and long before he departs Dago to join the Navy's proud and lethal nuclear submarine force, a.k.a. The Silent Fleet. Joining this force has been his passionate goal for several years. But when he meets Obla he discovers a far greater passion. Who is this erotic and breathtaking woman, this bronze dance goddess who speaks near fluent French and has command of the English language at near Ivy League level? What Richard suspects is that there’s more to this woman than meets the eye. So come tag along with Richard and his adventurous navy comrades and share the sights and sounds and experiences he lives and along the way meet an exciting and sensational dancer known on stage as Obla.

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring...

This book is boring to me; I cannot continue to read it. I just wished that it was more intriguing in the beginning to keep my attention. The ending might be good, but I will never know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romance and Adventure
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2012
The book Obla by Curtis Bennett is about romance and adventure right in the heart of the red light district of downtown San Diego, California in the late `70s. In this book, Bennett handles the themes of friendship, loyalty, and perseverance with exceptional dexterity and class. He juxtaposes two unlikely people who are very opposite to each other yet insanely in love. But the cold reality is that their love, no matter how special and strong, remains vulnerable from all angles. The constant struggle with their emotions is so intense and before long one finds himself or herself caught up in the actions and living vicariously through the experiences. As we ponder the questions, Can they keep their love from sinking into the abyss? Is their love worth saving? We are forced to confront our own realities and contemplate our choices. This is an exciting and adventurous story that will have you immersed between the pages. A must read.
