Bravo and Encore for Olivia Gaines, Xyla Turner, and Tiana Laveen's Anthology - The Company

As we just discussed in my last blog post, the foundations of my love with reading lies with PnR. I had just come off the high of reading J.R. Ward's The Story of Son, and I was craving another, well instead of one I got three!

I was hanging out on Twitter, where along with my beloved Kindle App, I come across some killer reads. I saw a Tweet about the anthology, The Company. I saw that Olivia Gaines was one of the authors and I was sold. I trust Olivia's writing so much that I knew if she decided to combine a work with two other writers they HAD to be stellar as well. Needless to say my instincts were spot on.

The company is an combination of three PnR/BWWM works authored by Olivia Gaines, Xyla Turner, and Tiana Laveen,  that can be enjoyed as a stand alone, but are best enjoyed together. Each work has it's own flavor, but the blend together to make a mouth water creation. (Literally mouth watering...OK it was more like panting and drooling. What can I say these ladies know how to write the Good! Good!)

Each work in The Company has just the right amount of dark mystery, romance, unexpected twists and turns, and plenty of hot and steamy stuff. There was only one problem with this anthology...it came to and end. It is my serious hope that these ladies bring other characters from The Company into their own love stories. Are you listening ladies? From my lips to God's ears!

If you're a lover of PnR, then you're going to fall head over heals with The Company. Bravo Ladies and Encore! Encore!

Much Love

The following is an excerpt found on Amazon

Truth is stranger than fiction at The Company. Things get especially exciting when the unknown comes wrapped in the gossamer thread of magic and mayhem. On the other side of this shimmery coin lies Love, the protective cloak that gives all we do meaning and validation. Thus, the world of the supernatural is a prelude and backdrop to romance that unfolds in all its glorious colors.

A woman uses a love potion to attract a man and repel another, yet gets more than she bargained for when the unexpected happens right where she least expects it. A man, both angel and demon, struggles with his identity while danger lurks around the corner and a new, powerful emotion takes over his being, shaking him to the core. An ambitious account executive is thrust in the midst of an old war between vampires and hunters, a kiss has her float in mid-air, and the world she’s always known shatters around her.

Trapped in the Company by Olivia Gaines

It all went wrong. Clarice's plan was to use just a bit of the love potion to attract one man, hoping to repel another, but a twist of fate and poor timing left her trapped in the company with Elliott Marsden for the weekend. Keeping her reputation intact was the least of her concerns; she needed to be extra savvy to survive a night with Elliott

Company Secrets by Xyla Turner

Jessica Cayman is an ambitious Account Executive for Delancey, Inc. She stays in her lane, works hard and has her eyes set on becoming a partner within the next year. The plan is easy until Sage Wesley, III from The Company refuses to work with her.

His aversion to Jessica turns into a kiss that literally has both of them off their feet. Floating in midair? Then a bite on her neck?

There are too many secrets and Jessica soon finds herself in the middle of an old war between vampires and hunters…too many company secrets.

Cruz Control: In Bad Company by Tiana Laveen


Born in Hell’s Kitchen, New York, Cruz Black spent most of his life attempting to escape the stifling, horrifying bonds of his bloodline. Part Angel Child, part Demon Child, his upbringing was built on the opposite side of ‘normal’. But, things change when the notorious King Angel Child of New York, Dr. Saint Aknaten, takes him under his wing. During an investigation into a Los Angeles hate crime case assigned to him by Saint, Cruz finds much more than he bargained for causing the sparks fly in an inferno of attraction when Cruz meets Chef Erika. Like brimstone bricks, the pair fall for each other fast and hard, and the chemistry is unmistakable. Cruz has found his mate, but will Erika stick around once he reveals the true nature of a beast?

P.S. - Author Tiana Laveen also has a series of books that begin with The Naughty Sins of A Saint, that you can also read that tell the stories of some of the major characters in Cruz Control: In Bad Company.
