Review of The Siren by Tiffany Reisz (The Original Sinners Series)









If you are looking for a 'Fifty Shades' love story than this ISN'T the book for you, If you want a nice easy read that you don’t need to think about afterwards, this DEFINITLEY isn't the book for you.

If you want a book that is dark, gripping and downright kinky then it’s time to pick up The Siren!

 
After hearing ripples about the Original Sinners Series by Tiffany Reisz, I decided that it was time to invest in The Siren. However, I was pleased to see that this book retailed for just 20 pence on Amazon Kindle so it was an absolute bargain!

 

After being bitterly disappointed with the quality of books that I have recently read I was pleasantly surprised to find myself gripped by the adventures of the incorrigible Nora Sutherland and her following of delicious male admirers, each one more than worthy of the role of the male lead part in this saucy but intelligently written tale.

 

The story follows Nora, a popular writer of erotica in her quest to be taken seriously and gain credibility in the written field. She is writing the story of a lifetime in the hope of securing a lucrative contract with a renowned publisher. Given the task of reining in The Siren is Zachary, a hard hitting Editor and a vey handsome man who takes himself far too seriously. He is nursing a deep heartbreak after recently splitting with the love of his life, Grace but is dangerously drawn to the charismatic Nora Sutherland. Will she help him heal his broken heart and will he ever be able accept Nora for who she is?

There is a delicious game of cat and mouse afoot but will Zachary turn his back on Grace?

 

A central character to the story is the delightfully innocent young intern Wesley. He regularly spurns the advances of Nora but makes it his duty to protect her at all times. The book covers an innocent and tender blossoming of love between the couple but can Nora turn her back on the BDSM lifestyle that has been entwined into her soul? Will she finally embark upon an innocent and vanilla relationship or will the past continue sabotage Nora’s future?

 

One of the most interesting characters is the dark and dangerous Soren, the handsome half Danish Dominant who is burned into the soul of Nora and the absolute love of her life. He is the first relationship that Nora had and she continues to be drawn to this dangerous, intoxicating man. The intensity of the feelings that the couple have for each other is the backbone of the story and her paralysing infatuation of him leaves you guessing what the future may hold for someone who struggles to move forward because of the crippling heartbreak that she suffers.

 

In addition to the teasing, tantilisng story of lust and forbidden love, Nora has a shameful secret, one that could ruin her life and her career. She is the most highly paid female Dominant in the whole of New York.

 

I don’t want to tell you too much of the story life but I really did enjoy this book. The female character is a strong dominant female which is a huge change from the recent books that have been hitting the shelves about BDSM. Although she submits to Soren when requested, she always maintains an inner strength and tenacity that endears her to the reader. I enjoyed the naughty side of her character and could relate to her as a female. She is complex but lovable!

Overall, this book is geat. There are some twists on the story that actually made me gasp out loud! (on the bus, too) and the fact that it was 20p made it even better. It has a great storyline and I was hooked from the beginning.

The book isn’t too raunchy but does have some naughty it isnt trashy. The author Tiffany Reisz  is a lovely woman too. She always takes the time to talk to her fans on Twitter and it’s nice that she takes an interest in her readers and values their opinion. Its refreshing that she takes the time to do this and also offered to answer any questions that I had about the book.

 

Bring on the next one!
