The Corporation is an Elite Sex Club. Williow James gets an invitation to sing at the event. What she gets is a very lusty, sexy one night stand with Slayton. Slayton wants to scratch an itch and demands a one night only. But we all know that one night stands are never one and done. A fairly quick read.

Well this hot little nugget dropped into my kindle just in time to help me through the artic freeze!
A C Arthur is back with a super sexy new series, The Corporation. This novella is hot! It reminds me of Caprise and X, my favorite couple from her Shadow Shifter Series.
Slayton and Willow are desirable on their own, but together, they are combustible. From the first page to the last, their chemistry leaps off the page. We are brought into their world and happily explore their relationship with them.
Since this happens at the same time as the Donovan novel, Ridge, appearances are made by some of the characters from that book, but the majority of the story is the unconventional way Slay and Willow navigate their way to each other.
I loved it, can’t wait to read more from this series, and hope to see Slay and Willow in the future.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book.

A Merry Invitation Indeed!!
Oh my!! Slay and Willow burned the pages right out of the book! It’s strange how he admired her while she was on stage singing. They had a connection with each other. Thus came his “one night only” invitation. It may have supposed have been one night only, but Slay couldn’t stay away from Willow. They both ended up just where they were meant to be. I liked how Titus got his just desserts! I also liked how Ridge and Talaya made appearances in this book. There is only one thing I didn’t like about the book. It ended too soon! I need more!! Lol! But really, Thus was an amazing book!! Thank you A.C.!!! ❤️🔥

This is a new to me author, but I will certainly be looking out for her work in the future.
Slayton is an ex NFL player, who is now the manager of “The Corporation Kensington,” while Willow is sassy and feisty, and is focused on aspiring to become a singer. When Willow is invited to perform at a Christmas party, where music executive Slay will be in attendance. The sparks fly between these two.
This is a well written story which has friendships, emotions, humor, witty banter, tension, undeniable chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this author whose work I recommend.

Merry Invitation Indeed
A.C. hit it out of the park with this sexualy charged story! We met Slay and Willow in Ridge, and I'm glad they got their own story. Their chemistry immediately felt, and there was no doubt that they'd for be fire for each other.
Willow may have been focused on her singing career, but Slay provided her with an invitation that she couldn't refuse. An invitation that proved to not only be beneficial but extremely sensual.
I hope that we get to see more from this couple in future Corporation books.

Slay and Willow
Great introduction to the corporation as a business. I need more of their story.
Slay character development was nothing like the development of other characters. Only because their was not a real mention of Slay in any of the other books where The Corporation was talked about.
Willow was a force to be approached with caution. Feisty, and fierce is how I would describe Willow.
Even with all the things they shared the sparks wad intense and magical.
Really enjoyed this book.

The invitation!
I really enjoyed this book. It was short with plenty of spice between Willow and Slay. If I had a man like Slay invite me to the same things he did Willow, I would accept without a thought. These two had some crazy chemistry and you could feel their connection. I loved that neither were afraid to explore more once they realized they wanted more and that Slay was supportive of Willow’s career and in answering her questions about The Corporation. I highly recommend this book.

Great read
Great read, I loved the characters and storyline. Slay and Willow had an instant attraction. They are a great match. There was a great story with a strong erotic theme, along with a little action. I look forward to more installments, as well maybe some books about the twin brother’s security firm.

If Only for One Night
Wow, this book was hot, hot, hot. Slay and Willow were introduced in Ridge’s book and their chemistry was burning hot. Their attraction and honesty with each other was refreshing. This was a wonderful novella to close out the holiday season. Kudos to A.C. Arthur on another great story.

A Merry Invitation: The Corporation
This was a love story about Willow James and Slayton Turner. They met because she was a singer in a club and he was a patron addicted to her voice. He invited her to a party that led to a one night stand. After that night he continued to think about her and dream of her. Then they were together again until it led to their happily ever after.

It gets no better than this!
Slay and Willow both got the best gift ever from that invitation. To understand that lust can be the beginning of a love so great. Now Titus was just a fool and I am glad he met with the right one to set him straight.
Looking forward to more The Corporation.

Willow and Slay are good together! I love the men in this author's stories and how they protect their women. I'm never disappointed by her!

The Couple of the New Year!
I loved Willow and Slay’s story, and I loved the connection to Ridge’s story. Slay is Thee man! The description of this man deserves a visual! A.C. Arthur does not hold back as this story gets better and better as you turn the page. The romance, the sexy vibe, the intrigue all combine to make it a winner. I recommend this story for your reading pleasure.

Willow delivered through her singing. Slayton kept returning to listen, until he decided that they could make their own music. Once the two got together, it became more than just a one hit wonder. I enjoyed reading this book, and would recommend it

Loved Slay and Willow together. This was very good and I can hardly wait to read the next book. I really liked Muzak so and his twin. Enjoyable story, lots of sex, lust and development of a love connection.

A Sexy Short
We need more of Slay (loving the name) and Willow!! This short story was just the introduction….with Willow’s fire spirit and Slay’s demanding, sexiness, I am sure those two can keep the pages turning!
