•••••••••

REVIEW: SIREN REBORN is the eighth instalment in Lexi Blake’s (aka Sophia Oak) contemporary, adult TEXAS SIRENS erotic, romantic suspense series. This is businessman Cole Roberts, attorney Mason Scott, and Katherine ‘Kitten’ Taylor’s story line. SIREN REBORN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary although I recommend reading the series in order as Kitten’s story line has been building from the start.

NOTE: SIREN REBORN is a story with MM, MMF, MFM, and MF sexual situations that may not be suitable for more sensitive readers.

SIREN REBORN is the re-release and re-edited version of the author’s 2014 book written as Sophie Oak, of the same title.

Told from three third person perspectives (Cole, Mason and Kitten) SIREN REBORN follows the building relationship between Dom Cole, Switch Mason and submissive Kitten, and the second chance romance between Mason and Cole. From their early teens, Cole and Mason have been best friends and lovers. Cole Roberts was always the Dominant in their friendship and relationship but the death of their submissive a few years earlier pushed Mason Scott out of Cole’s life, a push predicated on grief, guilt and blame. Fast forward to present day wherein Mason finds himself the target of a potential threat, landing himself in the hospital, only to be released into the custody of Mason’s newest sub. Enter Kitten Taylor, the woman with whom both Cole and Mason will fall in love. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship and romance between Cole, Mason and Kitten, and the potential fall-out as our trio is targeted in a game of cat and mouse, a game meant to destroy the loves of Cade Robert’s life; and Mason’s need for revenge that is overshadowed by the threats to their lives.

Katherine Taylor aka Kitten is a survivor of domestic abuse at the hands of her father, and a cruel Dom. Years in therapy, our heroine struggles with her place in the world of BDSM, a place she is hoping to find beside Mason and Cole but all is not well in Cole’s less than well ordered world, a world that is about to come crashing down with the return of Mason Scott, and all of the issues of trust that have yet to be abated.

The relationship between Mason and Cole is one of second chances; a relationship destroyed by secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, and the death of their mutual submissive that Cole blamed upon the man that he loved. Mason is quick to find peace and happiness with Kitten but Kitten struggles in her relationship with Cole believing she is not worthy based on Cole’s actions and less than Dominant treatment of our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters including several of the previous story line couples and players: Master Julian, Kitten’s cousin Finn, Nate, Nat, Chase, Darin, Callie, Gemma, Zane, Jesse, Cade; Cole’s housekeeper Ms.Hamilton, and his PA Lea Schneider.

SIREN REBORN is a story of betrayal and lies; revenge and recovery; forgiveness and love. The premise is intriguing and entertaining; the romance is heavy and hot; the characters are broken, healing, energetic and strong.

Kitten found herself smiling as she entered the living room. When Ms. Hamilton had told her the police were here to talk to Mason, she’d gotten scared. Police tended to mean someone was in serious trouble, and perhaps Mason was, but this was a friendly face. “Darin!”
Darin Craig was married to her friend Tara. He was also a Dom at The Club. A tall, well-built man, Darin gave her a grin before opening his arms to her. He was athletic, with dark hair and warm brown eyes. “How’s our Kitty Cat?”
After the pressure of the day, it was good to see someone she knew. She walked into his hug, wrapping her arms around his neck and accepting the needed affection. The thing she missed most about The Club were the hugs and touches and handholding with friends. “I am well, Master Darin.”
“Darin.” Cole’s voice sounded positively arctic as he walked into the room.
“Wow, I thought she was your sub, Cole. I didn’t know she belonged to Detective Craig.” Mason’s voice wasn’t exactly warm, either. “Have the rules of The Club changed, then? Is Julian allowing Doms to manhandle someone else’s sub?”
Darin slowly released her, an apologetic expression on his face. He took a step back, holding his hands up as though in surrender. “Sorry about that. Kitty Cat is just a friend.”
“Kitten or Katherine is preferred,” Cole said between gritted teeth.
“Her name is a term of affection. You don’t need to come up with your own.” Mason stood beside Cole, both men frowning Darin’s way.
She’d done something wrong again. “Master Darin is only a friend. He’s my friend’s husband. There’s nothing going on between us.”
Cole stopped glaring at Darin and seemed at a loss for what to say. “Sweetheart, I wasn’t trying to say something about you.”
Mason’s expression softened. “What the Master is trying to say is he knows how sweet you are. He became jealous when he saw you in another man’s arms. You’re gorgeous, honey. You have to expect that men will get possessive.”
He was a charmer. She knew exactly what he was doing and still couldn’t help the smile that crossed her face.
“Mason is right. I was jealous. You rarely hug me with such enthusiasm,” Cole said.
Master Cole wanted hugs? He seemed so distant that she held herself apart, but what if he simply wasn’t sure how to ask for what he needed? Doms were merely men. Kitten gave him her most brilliant smile and basically tackled him. If her Master needed affection, she would be the one to give it to him.
Cole’s big arms wound around her, and she felt him sigh as he lifted her up. He was so big. Her feet didn’t touch the floor, but she loved how secure she felt with him when he touched her. It was only when they were apart that she worried. Cole rubbed their cheeks together. “I am sorry I scared you before, love. I don’t ever want you to be afraid of me.”
“No, Sir. I won’t be afraid.” She was still smiling as he lowered her down. She turned to Mason. He was a man who needed hugs, too, but she worried that her Master wouldn’t like it.
Cole chuckled. “Go on, then. I’ll simply have to deal with the fact that you’re an affectionate thing. Hug away.”
She gave Mason a gentler hug, well aware he was still not feeling well. When she was done, she placed herself between them, enjoying how the two big men surrounded her. “Master Darin, were you attempting to begin an inappropriate affair with me? Because I have to warn you, I promised Tara I wouldn’t sleep with you when she wasn’t around.”
Tara and Darin were always joking about their crazy sex life. They loved it when their friends joined in. Not for the sex, but for the laughter.
Darin let loose a laugh. “I will remember that in the future, Kitty Ca, uhm, Kitten.” He sobered. “I didn’t come here to see you. I came to talk to Mason. You left the hospital before I got there. I was surprised to find out you were at Cole’s.”
Darin knew Mason. That was interesting. Darin and Tara had been playing at The Club for the entirety of their marriage. Ten years. They had likely been friendly with Cole when Mason had been his submissive.
Tara was getting a phone call later because she was utterly fascinated with the men and why they had broken up.
And maybe, just maybe, she could tell Kitten how she could get them back together.
She hadn’t missed how the two men had looked at each other. Yes, there had been suspicion and anger in their gazes, but there had been such a spark, and Master Cole was already softening up and it had everything to do with Mason. Mason had walked in the door and suddenly the house seemed warmer, more filled with emotion.
