Detectives Ben and Chase Dawson have been sent to investigate an unusual murder at an exclusive resort owned by Julian Lodge. The prime suspect is a young woman who was the last person to see the victim alive. Julian wants them to ensure her safety while also conducting the investigation. The job seems simple enough, until Ben and Chase discover that the beautiful woman they have both come to desire has dark secrets.

Working as a massage therapist at the resort has given her a chance to heal. It also offers her an opportunity to reconnect to the lifestyle she thought she would never be comfortable in again. But when one of her regular clients ends up dead on her table, Natalie fears that the monster she once escaped has come back to claim her.
As Natalie rediscovers her own power, all three will be forced to confront her past.

REVIEW: SIREN UNLEASHED is the seventh instalment in Lexi Blake’s contemporary, adult TEXAS SIRENS erotic, BDSM , romance series focusing on the men and women of an upscale Dallas spa and resort known as The Club, which doubles as a BDSM club. This is twin detectives / Dominants Ben and Chase Dawson, and massage therapist / submissive Natalie Buchanan’s story line. SIREN UNLEASHED can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading the series in order for back story. Ben first introduced in book six SIREN IN BLOOM; Chase was first introduced in book five SIREN IN WAITING. The Texas Sirens series is a spin-off from the author’s NIGHTS IN BLISS, COLORADO series.
NOTE: SIREN UNLEASHED is the re-release of the 2012 book authored by Sophie Oak aka Lexi Blake with new content. There is also a slight cross-over with the characters from the author’s Masters and Mercenaries series, and Nights in Bliss, Colorado.
WARNING: SIREN UNLEASHED contains scenes of M/F/M ménage, and BDSM sexual situations that may not be suitable for all readers. There is also reference to sexual slavery, abduction, torture and rape.
Told from several third person perspectives including Ben, Chase and Natalie SIREN UNLEASHED follows the Dom/sub relationship between twin detectives / Dominants Ben and Chase Dawson, and massage therapist / submissive Natalie Buchanan. Months earlier Natalie, along with two other submissives were kidnapped and held prisoner by a man who believed himself Master to their slaves. Healing but alone, Natalie now works as a massage therapist at The Club spa and resort, where her latest client is found murdered, and Natalie was the last to see him alive. Enter detectives and Dominants Ben and Chase Dawson, and the men with whom Natalie will fall in love. What ensues is the building sexual, Dom /sub, and love relationship between Ben, Chase and Natalie, and the search for the truth behind the murder of the self-proclaimed furniture king of East Texas.
Natalie struggles to move on from the past. Well versed in the world of BDSM and Dom/sub relationships Natalie battles the demons that continue to haunt her days and nights. Meeting detectives Ben and Chase Dawson stirs something deep within our story line heroine, something she long thought buried and dead. Ben and Chase Dawson, although identical twins, are as different as night and day when it comes to the need to Dominate and control. Bringing a broken submissive into their lives meant starting from the bottom up in an effort to help Natalie heal from the atrocities inflicted upon her very soul.
The relationship between Ben, Chase and Natalie is one of immediate attraction but a relationship based in Natalie’s need for control; to submit to a Master that is able to control the demons that continue to control her life. Ben Dawson is the more empathetic of the two brothers; Chase knows what Natalie needs, from the very start. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic, and intense. There are some scenes of spanking and light bondage.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including many of the previous story line couples and characters, Ben and Chase’s sister Georgia, as well as a number of the McKay –Taggart clan from Masters and Mercenaries.
SIREN UNLEASHED is a story of family, betrayal, vengeance and trust. The premise is sensitive and gripping; the romance is spicy and provocative; the characters are sassy and spirited but struggle with memories of the past. SIREN UNLEASHED is an intimate and edgy look at the recovery and acceptance; love and happily ever after.

NOTE: The Excerpt is intended for 18+ due to strong language and content
“Why don’t you smile?”
Chase shrugged. “I don’t know. Just how I was born. So where’s the dragon tattoo?”
Now she was the one smiling. Smart-mouthed bastard. Yeah, that was kind of sexy. “Hey, I was fucked up before it was cool. This is my fourth hair color this year. I was bright yellow two months ago, but someone called me Big Bird.”
His hand came up, barely touching her hair. “I like Cotton Candy better.”
“Yeah, don’t expect sweet.”
There it was, that hint of a smile that made her want more. “I think you could be very sweet if someone handled you the right way.”
“What if I don’t want to be handled?” The question came out on a flirty huff. God, was that really her voice? Was she flirting with this Dom like she could take him on?
The smile deepened, bringing out ridiculously sexy dimples. “Oh, you want to be handled, sweets.”
She kind of did. But she was still afraid. “I don’t think I could stand to be tied down.”
“How about a male hand on your body? Could you handle that? No ropes. No cuffs. But I would have to put hands on you, and not in that ‘I’m your dad’ way the other guy did.”
Honesty. Lots of honesty. “I don’t know how I would handle it. I know I didn’t like the thought of you servicing me. When you walked up, it felt like I was hiring you or something. I didn’t like that.”
He softly brought the pad of his index finger to brush her nose. “Picky sub.”
“I know what it feels like to be used. I don’t want to use you.”
A single muscular shoulder shrugged. “We all use people. It comes down to how we use them and whether or not they’re okay with being used. How are you going to get what you need if you don’t use someone?”
“It feels wrong.”
“Are you being honest with me about what you want? Is this a plot to trick me into marrying you?”
She rolled her eyes. “No.”
“Then we’re good, sub,” he promised. “You want to play a little in a safe environment with someone who’ll give you some space. I’m cool with that.”
“What do you get out of it?” She needed to know that there was an exchange.
“Ah, you’re a clean-slate girl. Well, sweetness, what I get out of it is the sight of what I think is going to be a spectacular ass. And when I turn in later, I’ll have something to masturbate to.”
She felt her eyes flare. Well, there was honesty for her. “I think you could find someone to help you out.”
He grimaced. “It would be harder than you think. Not a lot of women appreciate my sparkling personality. And besides, I think I’m going to be faithful for the night. I doubt you’ll let me have you, so I’ll pretend.”
The idea of him lying in bed, his hand on his cock while he thought about her, made her breath catch. And still she had to push. “Why me?”
He was silent for a moment, as though deciding how honest he should be. “Because you’re vibrant and different and you’ve muted your glow, but I think you could light up this room if you let go. I would be using you a little, too. I don’t do many good things. I’m basically selfish. Maybe I want to feel good about myself for once.”
She wasn’t giving him credit. She was judging him the way she expected to be judged, on the outside without a single thought to what was happening in his head. She’d looked at his gorgeous body and expected him to not have a soul, much less one as screwed over as hers.
“We could try. You could try to touch me.” She could handle that surely.
“Why don’t you touch me instead?”

••••••••••••
REVIEW: SMALL TOWN SIREN is the first instalment in Lexi Blake’s contemporary, adult TEXAS SIRENS erotic, BDSM, ménage romance series focusing on the men and women who are members of an upscale Dallas spa and resort known as The Club, which doubles as a BDSM club. This is thirty-two year old billionaire ranchers Jack Barnes and Sam Fleetwood, and thirty-seven year old, registered nurse Abigail ‘Abby’ Moore’s story line. The Texas Sirens series is a spin-off from the author’s NIGHTS IN BLISS, COLORADO series.
NOTE: SMALL TOWN SIREN is the re-release of the 2010 book authored by Sophie Oak aka Lexi Blake with new content.
WARNING: SMALL TOWN SIREN contains scenes of M/F/M ménage, and BDSM sexual situations that may not be suitable for all readers.
Told from several third person perspectives including Jack, Sam and Abby SMALL TOWN SIREN follows Abby Moore from age seventeen to thirty seven, from a high school pregnancy to the town whore, to a woman who must return to the town that pushed her away. Her mother’s fall and subsequent recovery finds Abby struggling to fit into a town whose people aren’t willing to give anyone a second chance. Desperate for money when no one would hire her, Abby Moore would become the talk of the town when she began working at the local diner. Meeting ranchers Jack Barnes and Sam Fleetwood meant a second chance for Abby Moore, a chance that would all but be destroyed by the locals who never wanted our heroine to return. What ensues is the building relationship and love between Jack, Sam and Abby, and the potential fall-out as Abby is willing to sacrifice her happiness to protect the men that she loved.
Jack Barnes and Sam Fleetwood met, and grew up in the foster care system. Working together, they purchased one of the largest ranches in Willow Fork, Texas, a ranch that is desperately in need of a woman’s love. Abby Moore’s return to Willow Fork came with the trepidation and humiliation of sins of the past, sins for which she continues to pay over twenty years later.
The relationship between Abby, Jack and Sam is one of immediate attraction. Sam and Jack know immediately that Abby is the woman whom they are willing to share; to marry and with whom to grow old. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense. There are scenes of discipline, spanking and whipping, as well as M/F/M sexual situations.
The secondary and supporting characters include the requisite small-minded townies who are unable to let go of the past. Abby never deserved the reputation accorded by years of gossip but a reputation that continued to grow, fed by a woman unable to forget what she lost and how. We are introduced to Abby’s daughter Lexi, and her mother Diane Moore; her friend and diner owner Christa and Mike; Sam and Jack’s housekeeper Benita Wells; and Ruby Echols, a woman considered the town matriarch.
SMALL TOWN SIREN is a story of discrimination and prejudice; of vengeance and heart break; of lust, love, second chances and happily ever after. There is always a bit of a struggle to accept the actions of people who consider themselves above the law but such is the life of many a small town America. The premise is inviting; the romance is tender, captivating and seductive; the characters are colorful and energetic. SMALL TOWN SIREN is a great start to the Texas Sirens series.

For psychologist Leo Meyer, peace and comfort come through strict discipline and order. It’s one of the reasons he was chosen by Julian Lodge to be the Dom in residence at his club. His time there has been a near-perfect existence filled with a daily routine free from the chaos of emotional attachment. With the exception of his brief relationship with Shelley McNamara, that is. She may have been the only woman he ever truly loved, but he was confident he had put her out of his mind until she walked into his club on the arm of another man.
Shelley McNamara is tired of waiting for her new life to begin. After finally finding freedom from an abusive marriage, she is eager to discover who she really is. After her encounter with Leo Meyer, she knows that the first thing she wants to explore is the lifestyle he exposed her to during their brief time together. She’s been promised her new Dom will be an excellent fit, but she can’t imagine anyone could fill the hole left by Leo. Until she sees Master Wolf.
After a devastating injury forced his retirement from the Navy SEALs, Wolf has been restless and lost. Hoping to reconnect with his estranged family in Dallas, Wolf accepted a new job working for Julian Lodge. His first assignment is training a beautiful woman named Shelley. Her fiery nature unlocks feelings he didn’t know he was capable of after a life spent in combat. The closer they become, the more certain he is that she is his ideal mate.

Having been assigned a new Dom at The Club, Shelley will come face to face with Leo’s brother Wolf, the other man with whom she would fall in love. What ensues is the building relationship between Wolf, Shelley and Leo, and the potential fall-out as both Shelley and Leo’s pasts come seeking revenge targeting our couple in the process.
Shelley McNamara knows the pain of losing someone you love but protecting Leo Meyer was her only priority when months earlier she pushed him out of her life. Meeting his brother Wolf meant a possible second chance at love but a chance that may push Leo further away. Wolf Meyer knows Leo has never stopped loving the woman with whom he, himself, has fallen in love but to protect everyone’s heart, Wolf is willing to step aside to clear the path to his brother’s own happily ever after. What no one expected was for Shelley’s past to cross over with Leo’s army life, a past that was about to demand pay back and vengeance.
The fractured relationship between Leo and Wolf comes to a head when they soon realize that they are both in love with the same woman. Thinking only of his brother’s happiness, Wolf is willing to walk away, in order for his brother to live with the woman he has always loved. Shelley is determined to love both men equally but convincing the stubborn brothers takes an act of disobedience, and a near-death occurrence to pull Leo and Wolf back into her orbit. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate, erotic and intense. There are some scenes of bondage, spanking and discipline.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Julian Lodge, attorney Finn Taylor, and their wife Dani; Jack Barnes, Sam and Abigail; tortured sub Kitten; former Bliss, Colorado sheriff’s deputy, embattled Logan Green; mercenary for hire Steve Holder. The requisite evil has many faces.
