The Siren

De: Tiffany Reisz

Narrado por: Aeron James

Notorious Nora Sutherlin is famous for her delicious works of erotica, each one more popular with readers than the last. But her latest manuscript is different - more serious, more personal - and she's sure it'll be her breakout book…if it ever sees the light of day.

Zachary Easton holds Nora's fate in his well-manicured hands. The demanding British editor agrees to handle the book on one condition: He wants complete control. Nora must rewrite the entire novel to his exacting standards - in six weeks - or it's no deal.

Nora's grueling writing sessions with Zach are draining…and shockingly arousing. And a dangerous former lover has her wondering which is more torturous - staying away from him…or returning to his bed?

Nora thought she knew everything about being pushed to your limits. But in a world where passion is pain, nothing is ever that simple.

A true submissive's story

Great writing. Great characters. Unusual plot for a BDSM-friendly erotica novel.

The plot is multi-layered with unexpected twists and turns. The characters are complex and intriguing.

The best insight I've ever read into the mind of a submissive.

The sexy times are pretty standard BDSM with M/s and sadomasochistic content.

Narration is good.

As other reviewers mentioned, a couple of the characters are Catholic, and also live the BDSM lifestyle, which may challenge some readers.

**SPOILERS**

This book is unusual in that the traditional love story does not result in HEA, which rips your heart out for two characters who are very much in love with each other. But it is interesting in that the submissive's love story does end up with a HEA of sorts, with one of the characters choosing the path less traveled by over vanilla love.

Overall, an outstanding BDSM-friendly read.

Lovely book

Great read!!! It had a emotional twist to it and the ending really surprised me.

almost great

i hated the narrator's inability to use different tones or voices for the different characters.
it really distracted from the story and was frustrating.

This book just did it for me!

Would you listen to The Siren again? Why?

The Siren is the first installment in Tiffany Reisz's dark erotica series titled: Original Sinners. This book just did it for me. I've always been a sucker for ass-kicking women in fiction, but that has historically been limited to the fantasy genres. But holy cow, Ms. Reisz created a mostly-contemporary heroine that just blew me away.

Nora Sutherlin is like two women in one...and they're both amazing! One is dominant, merciless, strong, successful, self-assured, and basically worshiped. The other is incredibly vulnerable, submissive, protective, troubled, and a bit unconfident actually. However, they both are sexy as hell and incredibly likable.

As noted in many of my reviews, erotica is not a genre I typically enjoy due to the typical "just enough story to justify the next sex scene" writing style of the particular authors I have read in the past. But Ms. Reisz keeps a quality storyline flowing and incorporates endings that have readers scrambling for the next book. The characters are layered and the relationships are incredibly complex - when you've got some strong BDSM factors going on then they have to be or it just won't work. I am a newfound fan of Tiffany Reisz and can't wait to read the rest of this series!!!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Siren?

My favorite quote:
"The same wind that blows us off course can turn and carry us home."

What about Aeron James’s performance did you like?

Love the tone.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

good

I love the series but this narrator no so much. the accent was not doing it for me.
