About this ebook

Re-released in a second edition with new content.

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. The only catch is that her relationship with Leo may not be as resolved as they both believed. 

 

Just when Shelley believes the looming shadow of her deceased husband has finally cleared away, a dangerous killer arrives at her door seeking retribution. Leo and Wolf will have to put their grievances aside, leverage all their training, and work together to keep her safe and claim her heart.

Ratings and reviews

SIREN IN BLOOM is the sixth instalment in Lexi Blake’s contemporary, adult TEXAS SIRENS erotic, BDSM romantic suspense 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 brothers/Doms/former Navy SEALs Wolf Meyer, psychologist Leo Meyer, and interior decorator Shelley McNamara’s story line. SIREN IN BLOOM 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 backstory and cohesion. The Texas Sirens series is a spin-off from the author’s NIGHTS IN BLISS, COLORADO series. NOTE: SIREN IN BLOOM 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, and Nights in Bliss, Colorado series. WARNING: SIREN IN BLOOM 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 Wolf, Leo and Shelley SIREN IN BLOOM follows the building Dom/sub relationship between Wolf Meyer, and Shelley McNamara, and the love/hate relationship between Wolf, Leo and the woman they love. Fifteen months earlier Shelley McNamara Hughes pushed away the man that she loved in order to protect him from the man that she married. Fast forward to present day wherein Shelley, newly widowed and on her own, is hoping to test her submissive side by joining the members at the Dallas based BDSM joint-The Club. But Shelley struggles with the identity of the man originally scheduled to train her, the man she never stopped loving. 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. SIREN IN BLOOM is a story of family, betrayal, vengeance, and love. The premise is animated and energetic; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are colorful, dynamic and struggling. SIREN IN BLOOM is a story of ménage love, BDMS relationships, healing and letting go.

I love Lexie Blake and I like the Sirens series. What I don't like is know it all Doms who screw up in BIG WAYS and still punish their sub PUBLICLY but only ever apologize PRIVATELY. Irritates the heck out of me!! all in all a good story but man...I really did NOT like how the know it all Doms acted.

There is something about characters who have been around a while finally getting their own story. In the case, Leo Meyer has been causing a ruckus as The Club's Dom in residence. We met his brother and his mother in Bliss, and Wolf is bringing Logan to Dallas to work with Leo. Shelley is Trev's little sister, and if you don't know who any of these people are, that's okay too, because you don't need to in order to completely enjoy this book This is about failing, trying, and failing, and then trying to figure out what you want. This is about stubbornness, the good kind, and the bad kind. This is about realizing what you want, and fighting for it, being selfless, and being wrong. It is about finally finding your family, and revelling in the joy it brings you. It is about Leo and Wolf Meyer, and Shelley McNamara, getting their happy ever after!
