Reviews for Rarities Incorporated
Review for Golden Seduction:
Gretchen at Fallen Angel Reviews gives FOUR Angels! She says in part: "I found this story both unique and interesting. The passion and feelings between Aleneic and Laila were both strong and believable. I liked that their relationship built at a believable pace. Aleneic has a wonderful heart that truly cares for others, and that shows in his interactions with Laila. Laila's intelligence and sweetness make a great combination and work well when paired with Aleneic's strength of character; they make a great couple. Laila's sentient computer Thane makes a creative and interesting secondary character, and I look forward to seeing him in a future book."
Review for Shadow Dance:
Julianne at Two Lips Reviews gives FOUR and a HALF Lips and says in part: "Wow!! Shadow Dance knocked my socks off. Despite Yadira and Dimitri's strong dislike of each other, Taige Crenshaw is able to write an extremely believable story. The characters are well written with a lot of sexual tension between them. Shadow Dance, book two in the Rarities Incorporated was just the right length to whet my appetite for this series. I'm getting the third book for sure."
Review for Veils Rising:
Julianne at Two Lips Reviews gives FOUR and a HALF Lips and says in part: "I love the Rarities Incorporated series by Taige Crenshaw. Each adventure is new and exciting and full of hot, steamy sex and a lot of action. Veils Rising took me on a wild roller coaster ride of intrigue, danger and love. Dilana and Magni are very good together. You won't want to miss these arousing stories."

An Interview with Taige Crenshaw
By Holly Hewson for The Romance Studio
HH: Taige, thank you for talking with us at TRS. Please tell us about your featured book, Rarities Incorporated. TC: My novel Rarities Incorporated features a company called Rarities Incorporated which is the premier research agency to approach if you need to retrieve a lost item- from anyplace in the human or supernatural worlds. The book includes Golden Seduction, Shadow Dance and Veils Rising - the first three novels of my Rarities Incorporated series.
Each book takes you on an adventure with beings that work for Rarities Incorporated.
HH: Three sexy stories about a premier research agency that is out of the ordinary. Where did you get the idea for this series? TC: A dream. I was in a deep sleep minding my own business when all of a sudden I found myself sitting at this table with a bunch of women. Each proceeded to introduce themselves. I was confused but let them have there way. When they were done the first one to introduce herself Zarya Burke lifted her hand and I was floating in the air. I rolled my eyes and told her to get to the point. The women looked at each other and laughed with me. They lowered me back to my chair and told me of a race called Zuri Maji. They told me of what they were and all they could do. That they had many stories to be told and would tell me more as needed.
I jerked awake and I had goose bumps. I ran to my desk and took pen and paper and wrote all I had been told. The women I had met in my dream are the women who were the owner of Rarities Incorporated which appears in my series. Each woman was distinct and I wanted to get what I had gotten from them down clearly. Once I was done writing I had books of information waiting for the first story to come to me.
HH: How did go about creating the fascinating world and its characters for Rarities Incorporated? TC: The world of Rarites was created by a what if. What is there were beings who helped find those rare items that were loss. What if they were unique from different beings. What if …. I keep going and going with what if's. I also use a variety of legends to create them and then put my own spin on it.
HH: Who are your favorite characters in this series? TC: LOL. That's like asking a mother who is her favorite child. All my characters are my favorites.
HH: Which story is your personal favorite? TC: LOL. Same as above. All my stories are my favorites.
HH: What other releases do you have coming up in 2010? TC: I have a few things coming in 2010 but can't give any details yet.
HH: What goals have you set for yourself at this point in your career? TC: I have so many goals I am working toward. The most prevalent is to write the best novels that will draw in the reader, take them on an adventure and make them think after they read the last word.
HH: What do you think today's modern romance readers are looking for and how do you feel you fulfil that wish? TC: They are looking for a great book that touches all the emotional cords. From happiness to tears. I bring that in what I write. I love to take a reader to the high of happiness then the release of tears then back to that wonderful place of satisfaction of romance.
HH: What's in your to-be-read stack right now? TC: I've been reading thrillers. Catherine Coulter - FBI Series, Kay Hooper - Bishop Series, Iris Johansen - Eve Duncan. J.D. Robb's - In Death Series, James Patterson - Women's Murder Club, Tami Hoag, and so on and so on.
HH: How will you spend the holidays this year? TC: With my family and friends. We'll be getting together to cook, laugh, eat and have fun chatting about everything and anything.
HH: Thank you!
