The Reluctant Siren

Texas Sirens: Legacy, Book 2

De: Lexi Blake, Sophie Oak

Narrado por: Kitty Bang, Lee Samuels, Ryan West

Harlow Dawson went through something terrible while working a case in Los Angeles. She fell in love. To be fair, the love part wasn’t so bad, but the betrayal left her devastated and in police custody. She returned home to decide how to move forward. One thing was for certain. Her life wouldn’t include Jensen Wiley.

Two years later she’s back on her feet, working with her best friend, and building her business. She’s been falling for a new guy at The Hideout. Niall Griffen makes her feel safe. Until she learns his secret at the worst possible time.

Jensen Wiley has spent years working his way up in the criminal organization that took his brother’s life. The only thing that ever threatened to break his need for revenge was meeting Harlow Dawson. She became his partner until he realized she was being drawn into the darkest part of the organization. He had very little time to get her out and didn’t think she would go quietly. He knows his betrayal saved her life, but he hasn’t stopped loving her. Now they’re in the same city and he needs someone watching over her. He means to keep his distance until she walks right into the middle of his mission.

Niall Griffen has worried about his best friend, Jensen, for years. When Jensen asks him to watch over the woman he loves, Niall reluctantly agrees. The trouble is he falls for her too. If nothing happens, he doesn’t feel there’s any reason to talk to his friend about their unrequited love triangle. But after one night together changes everything, Niall knows he needs a new plan to make sure no one gets their heart broken. The good news? Harlow comes from a family with an interesting dynamic. He just might be able to make this work for all of them.

Things begin to unravel when Jensen’s past comes back to haunt him and the man he’s been hunting threatens to turn the tables on him. Protecting Harlow is now the only priority and might just send them all right into the relationship they all need.

Nice ending

I was a little sad at the ending, but it was more real. They didn’t jump right into bed to “make up” it was like life where it is something that must be worked at. You know it will work, but it doesn’t have the same ending as her other books. I really liked it. Thanks Lexie for another great book!

Harlow, Jensen and Niall...

The Reluctant Siren is the second book in the Texas Sirens series. It is a small town, second chance, BDSM, menage, romantic suspense. This is Harlow, Jensen and Niall's story. With this one we get a fast paced story with non-stop action, drama, and so many twists and turns you won't see coming. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. There is great chemistry between these three characters, secrets revealed, all the feels and a cameo from Big Tag...What could be better then getting a glimpse of big Tag? This was an enjoyable read for me.

Kitty Bang, Lee Samuels and Tyan West did a great job bringing these characters and this story to life. I enjoyed listening to them.

What’s so wrong about 3’s?

This was my first Lexi Blake book and I’m glad I did the audiobook route! Harlow is a baddie and I love her for it! I loved that she put those boys through the paces and got hers too. I used to be a bad boy over golden but there was somethin about Nyle that may switch me over. It was fast paced and in some places it seemed like the story wasn’t fully flushed out? Could just be me. I so want to read her parents story now after this one.

exciting mfm romance

this was a spicy and exciting fast-paced mfm romance! i really enjoyed exploring the DSS throuple dynamics & the relationships that form between each individual. there is quite a lot of self reflection and self sabotage between harlow, niall and jensen. the intrigue and suspense to their off the books operation felt a little rushed and like background to the focus of their relationship, i wish there had been more focus on the PI/revenge or the dynamics of the hideout and world of “the life.” we got bits of both but neither felt totally explored. the spice was absolutely fab, and the amount of safety & consent was golden! i really appreciated that it wasnt an immediate forgiveness & love HEA ending, but i do wish we had gotten a bit more of a look at the three of them happy.

kitty bang, lee samuels and ryan west’s narration was so good! i really enjoyed their performance, and how individualistic each character was due to their separate narrators!
