Renee, Danielle, and Kayla are in trouble. Big trouble. Man trouble.

Renee is married to a great guy. The hard-working, dependable, loving father to her children, tremendous provider type. Problem is, despite all that, he does nothing for her where it counts. In the bedroom. So Renee's been stepping out, getting her groove on with whomever she desires. John doesn't seem to notice her bedroom boredom but she gets a wakeup call when he involves them both in a new game.

Danielle has a man she can't depend on, just the last of many. She has a thing for thugs. Low-rider jeans-wearing types with underwear sticking out, cornrows, gold chains... and no j-o-b. But it doesn't seem to matter to Dani as long as she's getting her sexual needs satisfied. To make matters worse, she's having a hard time taming her hot-to- trot teenage daughter. When a guy comes along who is less thug and more man, should Dani forget about the bad boys and try for a chance at something more?

Kayla, overweight and insecure, has had a steady guy for four years. Only he's a prominent—and very married— pastor. Her girlfriends, Renee and Dani, have been trying to get her to drop him for years, and now, a handsome co- worker is showing interest. But Kayla's convinced that she's in love and if she just plays her cards right, she'll be the next First Lady. That is, until Pastor Brown's games take an unexpected turn that could mean life or death.

Angie Daniels is particularly adept at stringing together plot twist after plot twist in ways that the reader never sees coming. At times, the graphic sex scenes were a bit over the top, at least for me, but if one likes their romance hot, then TROUBLE LOVES COMPANY may be just the read. I never felt completely drawn into the story but rather as though I were listening to it, which detracted a bit from my enjoyment. But in the midst of their sexual escapades, the three main characters search their hearts and struggle with issues that many women face in order to find true love. That was enough to keep me reading.
