Texas Sirens #4
Siren Beloved
Re-released in a second edition with new content.
Aidan O’Malley walked away from his fiancée, Lexi, and their best friend, Lucas, after a night of passion left him shaken to his core. When Aidan returns home from Iraq, he’s haunted by all he has lost. The enemy broke his body, destroying his dreams of a career in music. Worse still, he lost Lexi and Lucas. That damage he’d done all by himself. While he can’t restore what combat took from him, he’s determined to reclaim the two loves of his life.
Lucas Cameron is a changed man. After connecting with his brother, he found the discipline to get his life on track. His legal career is flourishing, but his love life is a train wreck. The woman he loves is spiraling out of control. After Aidan abandoned them, Lucas and Lexi clung together but no matter how hard he tries, Lucas can’t find a way to heal the wounds that Lexi carries.
Lexi Moore feels like a jigsaw puzzle with too many missing pieces. Losing Aidan was hard, but the true reason for her shattered spirit is a secret she only shares with her beloved Lucas. She knows she is drowning and the time has come to heal, but the holes in her heart hold her back from moving on. Shedding the burden she carries is her only hope for a happy future, but she fears she will never have the strength to reveal her secret.
When Aidan walks back into their lives, Lucas and Lexi know everything is about to change. But as they fight to reconcile their past and reclaim what they lost, a vicious predator stalks Lexi. In order to stop the killer, all three must confront the secrets they’ve carried…before they’re buried by them.

My favorite installment so far in the Texas Sires series! This book had it all; an emotional and angsty second chance romance, a sizzling MMF menage, a delicious grovel, and three people with deep emotional scars from their past finding that love really can cure all wounds. I adored this book! Simply adored it! I devoured it in one sitting and it made me fall in love with Lexi Blake's writing all over again. This author has this incredible ability to write the most emotional stories, wrap around them some incredibly hot romance, and then tie it all off with a dose of suspense. The result is a completely unputdownable book that only gets better with every page.
I highly recommend reading this series in order. Even though each book focuses on a different couple, there are story arcs that continue through the series, and would only make you appreciate the characters that much more.
If you've read the first three books in the series, you'll remember Lexi is Abigail Moore's daughter from Small Town Siren, and Lucas Cameron is Jack Barnes's younger brother. Aidan is the man we heard about but now officially meet in this story, and boy did I fall hard for the man.
Years ago, Aidan and Lexi were engaged. An unexpected night between her, Lucas, and Aidan made him leave, also leaving Lexi with a broken heart that she's never recovered from. Lucas has tried to put the pieces back together in the years since, but him being a switch and Lexi a submissive, they feel the missing piece of a Dom.
Now Adian is back and determined to right the wrongs of the past. He knows that he's what Lucas and Lexi both need and he intends to stop at nothing to prove it to them.
I fell so hard for Aidan in this book. There was simply something so endearing about the broken pieces of this man and his enigmatic presence that I couldn't get enough of. I loved the way he fought for both Lucas and Lexi. I loved how sweet he was out of the bedroom, and a hardcore Dominant inside it. And while this book has one spicy MMF menage, it's so much more than that, too. It was incredibly emotional, particularly when Lexi finally deals with the demons of her past. There's a suspense plot that runs seamlessly through the story, with the added element of danger that only serves to up the wattage. Lucas was another man that I fell hard for. Gone is the lost boy that we're first introduced to in Small Town Siren. Lucas is all man. He's no longer hiding his true self behind an illusion. This is a man that loves and loves hard, and will protect those he cares for with everything he's got. The dynamic between the three of them was absolutely perfect. This is a menage that had incredible depth and plenty of emotion. All three characters are multi-layered and together they just balance each other out.
If you've enjoyed the first three books in this series, you're going to absolutely love this one. I'm already itching for my next fix with this series.

There would be a conqueror and a conquest. It was only a battle. Aidan knew Lexi had already won the war. He was her slave. He’d do anything for her, except let her go.

3.5 STARS!
I'm so surprised when Lexi Moore; Abby's daughter (from book #1) have her own story. She's still in college at the first book and now she already an adult who's in relationship with two men. Wow... yeah, one of them is Jack Barnes half-brother, Lucas Cameroon. Lucas has issues with Jack in the book #2 but he got second chance and now he's working as an successful lawyer.
Before Lucas, Lexi has romantic relationship with Aidan O'Malley; a musician. When they enter into deeper relationship, Aidan left Lexi and Lucas. Worst, Aidan broke off their engagement because he's afraid and himself. Now he's back to claim Lexi and Lucas but it isn't easy as he thought. Nothing is easy when it comes with broken-heart people especially when they have deeper issue.
All of them have flaws. Aidan just returned from his military service but suffered PTSD and slightly amnesia. He learn BDSM which he always reject from Lexi back then. Aidan is a changed man with mission to get his lovers back. Lexi and Lucas didn't happy to see Aidan back to their life. Well, Lucas is quite easy to forgive because he love Lexi and want her to be happy with/out Aidan. I liked how Lexi give Aidan hard times. Her attitude reminds me of Abby, her mother.
Why 3.5? I think it's enough because I enjoyed their journey. Aidan, Lexi and Lucas definitely has rough patch but they didn't care. They love their own menage. They have strong chemistry. Hell, even Aidan is really open with Lucas and proud to be his partner. I also loved their relationship and Lexi's bratty attitude. They have lost and found each other. Oh, I enjoyed the suspense. Sophia Oak never cease to amazed me ;)

“You’re a part of me. You’re the best part of me. I don’t care if you hate me for the rest of your life, I’ll follow you. I’ll make sure you’re safe, because that’s what I was born to do.”
Is it possible for a book to be even better the second time around? Yes, yes it is! Hence the reason I have this urge to shout my love for Aidan, Lucas, and Lexi to anyone who will listen. This second edition of Lexi Blake’s SIREN BELOVED had me grinning ear to ear because of all the amazing characters that made appearances all throughout the book. I laughed. I teared up. I blushed. I sighed. I swooned. This amazing menage romance had me experiencing FEELS on top of FEELS on top of even more FEELS! These three human beings have broken pieces within them, but when they finally tear down the walls and let themselves experience happiness, all of their broken pieces fuse together to make one HELL of a connection, a deep understanding, and a love like no other. SIREN BELOVED is probably my favorite installment of the series and it’s all due to impeccable writing and unforgettable characters. Exciting, passionate, heart-wrenching, and beautiful, I found it to be an absolute honor to experience Aidan, Lexi, and Lucas’ journey for the second time.

In this re-release, Lexi Blake continues her combination of the Bliss series with the Masters and Mercenaries.
When Lexi Moore screwed up yet again at the Club, club owner Julian Lodge and her stepfather, Jack Barnes agreed that the only way she and her boyfriend, Lucas, Jack's brother could continue at the facility would be if they accepted a new master, Master A as their Dom.
What neither Lexi nor Lucas realized at first was that Master A was none other than Aiden, the man who had abandoned them after a night of great pleasure because he was afraid of what people would say if he was in a menage with both a woman and a man.
When Lexi is shot and her apartment trashed, Aiden takes both his subs to his ranch, away from danger-or so he thinks. But all three members of the trio have secrets in their past that may be linked to the incidents. Can Aiden prove to both Lucas and Lexi that he really has changed and will be with them for the long haul while protecting them from a killer?
This is one of the author's better efforts in the Siren series. Lexi is portrayed as a big hearted woman with a sarcastic mouth and some serious issues due to an incident in her past. Lucas is the most loving man ever. Sexually a switch, he tries to be the Dom Lexi needs, but he isn't really strong enough to master her as she needs. It takes Aiden to make the trio work, but he has his own issues, and watching him come to accept that his subs can help him is fascinating. We are also treated to glimpses of Ian Taggart and twins Ben and Chase Dawson.
While some of the entwined books just make brief reference to the characters in the other series, this one features the other characters all the way through. This is a thoroughly delightful read with lots of angst, steaming hot sex scenes and likable characters, interwoven with some scary scenes and flashes of the author's laugh out loud humor.

I've been a Lucas fan since Siren in the City, so I've been waiting for this book for a while. It did not disappoint.
Lucas was everything I thought he'd be. He's charming and indulgent, and takes care of the people he loves. Lexi is a sweet, sarcastic mess. And Aidan is the ultimate Dom who brings them together.
This is an emotional read about forgiveness and finding your way home. Be prepared - it's a "three hankie" book.
And, as with all of Ms. Oak's books, it's smoking hot. The steamy barn scenes will leave you wishing more than a little you were in Lexi's place.
You definitely don't want to miss this one!

Okay. I have to tell you all about this book. Because Mrs. Missive's smexy checklist is giving high hotness marks. Tortured hero...check. Menage...check. BDSM...check. Emotionally charged situation...check. HEA ending...check. HOTT sex...check. And all of this is done with some snarky humor that had me rolling.
My favorite quote from the book....
"You're due some punishment, too. Your stubbornness caused this."
"Did not. My stubbornness doesn't even own a gun. My stubbornness is a pacifist."
This book definitely has us checking in with some of the other members of the Texas Siren family, but it is just enough to show us the strong relationships we have seen them develop. I really can't stand when an author starts a series and just forgets the other characters we have fallen in love with. As an added treat we get glimpses of how the Bliss series (which I also Luuuurve) from Sophie Oak is starting to blend into the world of Texas Sirens. I love finding all the little connections and inside jokes that are scattered into her books. I am planning a re-read just to find the little things I missed the first time in my need to devour her books.
I have very few authors I have read that have made my desire to turn the page an absolute necessecity. Sophie Oak is one of those authors. I have to turn the page, I have to read more, because her writing has me beyond invested in the lives of the characters that come to feel like family. Better than family actually, because I don't like my family that much sometimes. ;p
We get the story behind Lexi and her need to withdraw from her mother in this tale, and although I was pretty sure what happened really early on, I was still dying to know how the knowledge would come out. When our new trio finally comes together emotionally in that hospital...well I definitely needed a tissue.
I could relate to Lexi on a lot of levels, and the common experiences I shared with her character and how well the tale was told, well it was a fabulous book. I am once again reminded while Sophie Oak is a release day buy for me. 5 stars.

After a night of passion shocked him to his core Aidan walked away from his fiancee Lexi and their best friend Lucas, he just couldn't wrap his head around his attraction to two people and was worried about what his conservative family and town would think of such an unconventional relationship. That was years ago though and after a devastating attack in Iraq left him badly wounded he's come to realise how short life can be - too short to walk away from the people he loves the most. Now Aidan is back and willing to do whatever it takes to convince Lexi and Lucas that this time he's serious. Lexi has been struggling since Aidan left, Lucas has tried to help her keep it together but they're both floundering. Aidan could be the key to getting their lives back on track but that's only if he manages to earn their trust again and with a stalker hot on Lexi's tail time is running out for a happily ever after.
If you've read the previous books in this series you'll already be familiar with some of the characters in this one - Lexi is Abby's daughter and Lucas is Jack's younger brother - so I was already looking forward to seeing them find happiness. Aidan has been mentioned before but we only know him as the ex-fiance who broke Abby's heart when he ended their engagement so I was really curious to meet the man both Lexi and Lucas were in love with. I have to admit I wasn't a fan of the way Aidan chose to walk back into their lives, it felt a little manipulative and I was really surprised that Julian, and particularly Jack, went along with it. I did feel Lexi and Lucas' reactions to that were completely understandable though so I was glad that it kind of backfired on him!
Lucas is a more forgiving character and he was willing to listen to Aidan's side of the story, I think given his own background that made a lot of sense, he's already been given second chances so knows what it's like to mess up. Lexi went through a lot after Aidan walked away so she's much more wary of getting hurt again, she only really agrees to speak to Aidan for Lucas' sake but she can't deny that she still has feelings for him. The three of them worked really well together and I enjoyed seeing them find their way back to each other after all this time apart, they all had their own issues that they brought to the relationship but they were all really supportive of each other and willing to listen to each other which is important.
There's no denying that Lexi Blake writes fantastic romances with scorching hot chemistry and Lexi, Lucas and Aidan were no exception to that. This series really amps up the heat levels but it also has some really sweet and fun moments so I loved getting the chance to catch up with previous characters and their growing families. I'm not sure which characters are up next but I really hope we get to see more of both Aidan's brother Bo and Master Leo, the rest of this series is definitely on my wish list though and I can't wait for the next book!

This was book 4 in the
"Texas Siren"
series. Lexi Moore has been lost and floating for the last few years every since her fiancée Aidan O’Malley walked out on her and their friend Lucas Cameron after the three shared a hot night were Aiden and Lucas had sex. When Julian and Jack both put their foot down after she showed up at the club drunk they force her and Lucas who is a switch to take a Dom Master A or lose her rights to the club and be forced to go to rehab because of her drinking which Lucas didn't realize was so bad. This was a really good read each one of these MC's have been through a lot. Aiden who enlisted almost died in the middle east he came back a broken man physically and emotionally he is ready to be the Dom that Lexi and Lucas needs so he trained with Leo the clubs resident Dom and therapist. Lucas who is Jack Barnes little brother has grown up a lot and is a lawyer. Lexi hasn't been right since she was in a car accident that wasn't her fault she is hiding a secret that I figured out before it was revealed. The night that they meet Master A Lexi leaves the club after having a few drinks she goes home and finds that someone broke in and trashed her place. The three thinks that someone is trying to kill her. Ms. Blake's books are like comfort reads for me when I need to get out of a book funk I turn to her books. The three agree to return to Aiden's ranch that he inherited from his father in the small Texas town of Deer Run where we meet Aiden's ex Karen who is telling people that they are getting married and his little brother Bo who wants his attention and then their is his foreman Dwight who Big Tag and his guys the Dawson Twins are checking into because the guy was in the army with Aiden and was the one who told the army and Aiden what happened on the day that his squad was killed. The sex scenes in this book were hot Aiden wanting to prove himself to Lexi and Lucas. I also liked that Lucas refused to have sex with Lexi although he topped her in scenes that she manipulated him in because he let her walk all over him. When Aiden has a flashback he learns the truth about the day he almost died. This was a really good read when the truth comes out and Lexi tells Aiden what happened she learns to let go and when the danger comes she will do anything to safe her men. This book was well written like all of Ms. Blake's books this book had no errors in grammar or spelling and I loved the narrators of this audiobook as I read and listened to it. I am looking forward to reading or listening to the next book in this series.

Full disclosure, there is close to no BDSM in this book. There are hints of it and discussions - such as the violet wand, but no nitty gritty scenes of it. It feels like every single BDSM scene is interrupted. I think the title of this book should have been Siren Sex Interrupted. Still, I enjoyed this book. Ms. Oak wrote another story which pulled me in. I read it in one sitting and well into the night.
Why do I like this book? I think it's because I really enjoy her characters. I did want to bitch slap Lexi the little bratty princess. Yes, she had a terrible thing happen to her, but really, her hiding it only festered and made her life a wreck. She needed a strong Dom, man to come "fix" her. Sigh. Once again a supposedly strong woman is complete a wreck w/o a man to set her straight. This grates on me. I got over it by ignoring the whiny selfish bitch. I focused on the main dishes - Lucas and Adrian. I've liked Lucas since I first learned about him. The bad boy who wasn't bad. His ability to switch was very attractive for me. This poor guy was the whipping boy for looney Lexi. Lexi was topping from the bottom, the bitch. Lucus really should have left loser Lexi. She was poisonous and toxic to him. With baggage like she was carrying, the only direction is down. She will take everyone down and did she really care? No, she said she did, but her actions speak otherwise. Shameful and selfish, she is.
Adrian - wow, his decisions definitely f-ed him up. Fortunately, he learned from his mistakes and he was trying to rectify them. Instead of Lame Lexi who wallowed in them by drinking. Adrian lost a lot. His singing career, his army buddies, his father, love of his life, etc. He still was strong enough to work towards his end goal. I'm impressed and well, he's a dom so I tend to melt when it's an alpha male who also happens to be built like one.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and recommend it to all my friends who enjoy a good menage where it's M/M/f. Ms. Oak writes a tight and good story which flows. Engaging characters even if you want to slap one up side the head with a two by four.

Lexi, Lucas, and Aidan.
I enjoyed this book for the most part. I wasn’t a huge fan of Lexi and her childish attitude. She was kinda whinny. I loved Lucas, I think Lexi was pretty selfish she didn’t see what she was doing to him.
Aidan knew coming back was going to cause a lot of issues and they would all have a learning curve. I think Lexi was a little more unbearable to Aidan did he deserve it a little but I think she took it a little too far.
I love that it was Lucas and his willingness to open back up even after being hurt that really brought them all back together.
I liked the narration again CJ and the twang she gives the guys just doesn’t work for me.

5 Star Review Siren Beloved (Texas Sirens #4) by Sophie Oak
Firstly this is a M/M/F story so be prepared and possibly my favourite to date in the Texas Sirens series. I really enjoy Ms.Oak (Lexi Blake’s) style of writing and Siren Beloved was one of those reads I could not put down.
We have met Lucas Cameron and Lexi Moore in previous books in the series and I knew that when they got their story it was going to be something special. Little did I realise how the pairing of Lexi and Lucas with Aidan O’Malley would come together in such an explosive and riveting story.
“What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive”. Aidan made the biggest mistake of his life leaving the only people he has ever truly loved. Uncertain and tormented by his night of passion with Lucas and Lexi, he did the only thing he could think of, he ran, joining the services.
Home and recovering from serious injuries, he now knows what he wants from life and that is both Lucas and Lexi; of course knowing that and being given a chance to re join their lives is not going to be easy. They say women are matchmakers, but Lexi’s step father Jack, Julian and Leo all come together to help Aidan in his quest to seek forgiveness and in turn bring all three of them back to life.
Not knowing what has happened since he has been gone, will Aidan be able to convince Lucas and Lexi to give him another chance? Can Lexi come to terms with all she has loved and lost and finally open up to those who love her about the tragic secret she holds so tight? Will the danger that Aidan, Lucas and Lexi find themselves in end with their love being destroyed before it gains ground? One click now and find out.
Although Siren Beloved is not a particularly long read, I found myself reading well into the night; a story of acceptance, passion, strength and determination. There was romance and suspense woven into the story and the scenes were smoking hot; it was also an extremely emotional read which totally got to me.

A sexy, erotic MMF romance that was wickedly addicting. Lexi Blake once again lures her readers to be bewitched with her beloved characters and enchanting prose. Three characters who were perfectly flawed in their own way bring forth a story that was deeply wrapped around a hot romance but built upon on raw emotions. A must read for anyone looking for a romance that is unlike any other.
July 20, 2018
I must admit that I was a little reluctant to read this book because I knew some of the history between these characters. This was a good story even if it was a second chance romance which is not my thing. I think this is my favorite triad in the series. They worked their problems out as a triad and individually and I was happy with that. For example Aidan realised that he belonged with the other two and all together tried to make things work out even if Lexi was very against it in the beginning. I wasn't a fan of Lexi at first. I didn't know her whole story and I felt like she was just stubborn and that she was lashing out for no reason. As I kept reading I realised that she was deeply hurt and that she had some solid reasons for not wanting Aiden back in her life. She blossoms over time. Lucas felt like the glue of the triad. He came around quite fast when Aidan said that he wanted to be back into their lives and he tried to make Lexi see what she really needed. He was her rock for the last years and he did everything he could. I wasn't sure how to feel about Aidan, but he won me over quickly and I wanted him to get what he deserved even if he had to groove a little. The dynamics in this triad are different from the ones we saw in the other books and I liked that. It was good. There is some suspense and it made the book even more I interesting. You can read the book as stand alone and you can't miss it if you have read the previous books in the series.

Siren Beloved was a second chance contemporary western romance that steamed up my Kindle screen and had me hooked on every word. This was also a menage story which I have become quite fond of over the last few years and this book is a perfect example of what I like.
This book had three characters emotionally damaged by their past who need each other to heal and move forward. This book had mystery and suspense. I enjoyed reading as bits and pieces of the mystery unfolded and the suspense it held me in to see where things would lead. This book had healing and lots of emotion. Aiden, Lucas and Lexi had been through so much both together and apart. Both in their past and now their present. They had a lot of baggage to work through and secrets that needed to be shared to move towards their future. This book had BDSM and passion. And most importantly it had love. Not just the love of the main characters but also their family and friends who were all there for each other no matter what.
I really enjoyed this new addition to this series. Lexi Blake/Sophie Oak has a writing style that I just get totally engrossed in, no matter what name she's writing under. I look forward to any and everything that is coming next from her.
August 7, 2020
After one night in a hot threesome with his fiancee Lexi and her best friend Lucas, Aidan O'Malley asks Lexi to choose between them, before leaving town and eventually joining the military. Now he's back, and he wants both Lexi and Lucas back. Worried they won't forgive him, he enters into a BDSM training relationship with both of them as the masked "Master A," but when they find out who he really is, nothing will ever be the same.
Sophie Oak/Lexi Blake really knows how to write hot BDSM sex and sexy menage scenes. This is not debatable. However, this book is special because of the extra dimension of lost love, and returning love, as well as the final transition from friends to lovers for Lexi and Lucas. Aidan's an idiot for not telling them who he was at first, but he eventually admits that, and they can live happily ever after.

A review for The Romance Reviews.
This author simply blows me away EVERY time I sit down to read her work, so unsurprisingly, SIREN BELOVED amazed me no end. Between the intense emotion, fantastic plot, hilarious dialogue, complex and realistic characters, and of course, the smoldering eroticism, this book was just about perfect.
This is the fourth book in the Texas Sirens series and it features Lexi, who is Abigail's daughter and Jack and Sam's stepdaughter. She's been really having some troubles since her fiance, Aidan, left her after a night with her and their best friend Lucas. Aidan couldn't deal with his bisexuality and his feelings for Lucas, so he left her--really he left them both. Lucas and Lexi have been trying to hold it together since then, but it's obvious that they need something.
After another episode of seriously destructive behavior at the BDSM club, Lexi is put on restriction. Part of her probation is that she has to submit to a new Dom. And that Dom just happens to be the man who broke her heart.
Aidan knows he messed up the best thing he could have ever hoped to have when he walked out on Lexi and Lucas. He's been through hell, and now he's back to claim the loves of his life. He'll do whatever it takes to make them his again and to prove that he's never going to leave them again. But when someone makes an attempt on Lexi's life, Aidan's not only trying to get Lexi and Lucas back, he's also got to keep them from harm.
Ok, there are just so many things for me to go into about this book that make it so utterly fantastic; I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to fit them all in one review but here it goes.
These characters, I think, have become my favorite out of the whole series. *GASP* I know, right. I mean I never thought I'd love any characters more than Abigail, Jack and Sam, but there you have it. Aidan has been through so much and had to be on death's door to see what he really wanted out of life, but it gave him the strength to overcome the huge obstacles he was facing. I loved how much he just put himself out there, even though he knew he might be skewered alive by the people he loves. But he did this because he understood that he had to show them everything if he wanted to get them back. He had to go against everything he had been taught, everything that had made him run the first time in order to achieve his happiness, but he did it.
Lexi was such a surprise to me. Being a bit of a brat in the previous books, I really wasn't expecting her to have so much depth. She's got some secrets and some really big hurts in her life that have made her wear a suit of sarcasm instead of armor. And what's even better is that even when Aidan and Lucas break through that suit, she is still a sassy sub with a sharp wit.
Lucas, who's the rock of the trio, has had such a bad rap. I am so glad that we've gotten a chance to see him shine. He's got such a huge heart and will do anything for those he loves. It's just so sad that he was never appreciated until he found his half-brother Jack.
Besides the characters, the story itself was fantastic. There's suspense, secrets, disappointments, and of course a beautiful love story. The dialogue was great and at times had me rolling on the floor.
Don't let me forget the smokin' hot sex. Aidan and Lucas really set the world on fire as far as I was concerned. The two of them together was like "whew". I really liked the trio together as well. It was obvious when they made that connection that it was right and that they all belonged together. But deeper than the sex was the intense emotional connection they shared. Some of the revelations of the past, while extremely painful and gut-wrenching, brought them together in a way that would bond them forever.
Alright, I think I've blathered on enough, so I think that it's obvious that I gave this a 5 star read. SIREN BELOVED just had everything that makes a story amazing in my book. I also have to say that if you have not read Sophie Oak yet, what in world are you waiting for??? You are truly missing out.

4.5 out of 5. This is the fourth novel in this series and continues on the saga of characters connected to the Barnes-Fleetwood family. Now Abby & Jack Barnes' daughter Alexis is featured along with her long-time companion Lucas Cameron, Jack's half-brother, and the mysterious Master A. His identity is revealed early in the story, but this is really about how three people discover their own unique needs, how they learn to be honest with themselves and each other, and how Alexis finally moves beyond her hurt and pain over the loss of her infant son to greater maturity and productive adulthood. As in all Sophie Oak's stories, it is full of pathos and energy, disappointment and forgiveness, love and loss. But the people are real and the caring is warm and inviting, and the sense that these three people can meet each other's needs if they would just kind of get over themselves is very evident. This is an M/M/F menage and is really with a sense of awe that Aiden and Lucas not only deepen their relationship with Lexi, but they come to a full acceptance of the love these two men can share with each other. All of the novels in this series are menage because most of the stories Ms Oak writes are menage. However, her style is so very readable and her characters well developed, even those that tend to come through as being truly different. In all, this book is about finding the kind of love that can surmount disappointment and loss and bring all the individuals involved in this relationship into a fuller experience of what it means to be the best for each other.(

I felt torn with this book. I understood where everyone was coming from, all the bad feelings and hurt, but the hope that maybe, maybe things could be all right. I loved that Julian and Jack decided that it was time to but in. I got what they were saying about Lexi and Lucas. They were great together, but as much as Lucas topped Lexi, Lexi wore the pants in their relationship.
I was willing to pass judgement until hearing why Aidan left and what Lexi was hiding. I had guessed Lexi's secret and Aidan's reason for leaving made sense with how he was raised and the fact that he couldn't/wouldn't face up to who he loved.
The side part with people after Aidan, Lexi, and Lucas was a bit boring and very predictable. I was more interested in Aidan interacting with his brother Bo, and Aidan, Lexi, Lucas dealing with Abby, Jack, and Sam.

Sophie Oak you are truly amazing. Everybook of hers I read I enjoy more and more. This one is no exception. This book was excellent.
I have enjoyed watching Lucas since he found his brother and watching his character develop. Same with Lexi. Love her, she is such a wild child. The whole Brandon thing you really need lots of tissues. When Lexi finally explained to Aidan, I must have gone through an entire box.
And I can't leave out Olivia. She had me laughing at everthing she did.
I loved how everyone from the past books was in it including Leo. I really enjoy him.
And.....Hello....what about the hot Dom Twins, Ben and Chase. Really hoping they get their own book.
This is another MUST read by Sophie. Thank you Sophie....Keep writing!

Angsty 2nd chance with smoking hot romance! A war veteran hero who has some struggles! Lexi (Abby's daughter) finally gets her HEA! Master A is determined to get Lexi and Lucas back in his life now that he realizes what a mistake he has made. Its SUPER hot. Also, there is a suspense aspect that I find important in stories. Aiden spends a lot of time trying to atone for his mistakes and its very sweet. Outside of the bedroom, he is so sweet. Inside the bedroom, he is Master A and in charge. Overall, this was a perfect addition to the series and I am so glad to finally know that Lexi and Lucas get their HEA!

REVIEW: SIREN BELOVED is the fourth instalment in Lexi Blake’s (aka Sophie Oak) 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 Dom Aidan O’Malley, sub/author Lexi Moore, and switch Lucas Cameron’s story line. SIREN BELOVED 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 BELOVED is the re-release of the 2011 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 BELOVED contains scenes of M/M/F ménage, and BDSM sexual situations that may not be suitable for all readers.
Told from several third person perspectives including Lexi, Aidan and Lucas SIREN BELOVED follows the rekindling relationship between Dom Aidan O’Malley, sub/author Lexi Moore, and switch Lucas Cameron. Years earlier Aidan O’Malley walked out of Lexi Moore’s life, struggling with her need to be submissive, and his attraction to her best friend Lucas Cameron. Following a disastrous deployment in Iraq, Aidan has returned home, and in an effort to reclaim the man and woman he loves, has sought significant training in the art of Domination. But all does not go according to plan when his attempt at ‘anonymous play’ leads to potential heart breaking for Lucas and Lexi. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Aidan, Lexi and Lucas, as our trio find themselves targeted by an unknown source.
Throughout the story Lucas, Lexi and Aidan find themselves on the receiving end of threats meant to intimidate and destroy. From destruction of property, bullet wounds, car accidents and physical assault, our trio must work together in an effort to uncover the person responsible for trying to destroy their lives.
The relationship between Lexi and Lucas continued long after Aidan walked out of their lives. In an effort to aid Lexi in her ongoing downward spiral in the years since Aidan left, Lucas struggles to Dominate Lexi the way she needs to be dominated and controlled. With Aidan’s return both Lucas and Lexi must re-learn to submit to the man they never stopped loving, a submission that will bring the trio closer to their own happily ever after.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Lexi’s mother Abigail Barnes-Fleetwood, and her two husbands Jackson and Sam; Ian and Sean Taggart, Julian Lodge, as well as the introduction of security specialists Ben and Chase Dawson; Aidan’s former unit buddy Dwight, and ex-girlfriend Karen.
SIREN BELOVED is a story of second chances, betrayal, vengeance, and love. The premise is intriguing and captivating; the characters are energetic, dynamic and colorful; the romance is erotic , passionate and intense.

Living with the man she planned to marry was one of the biggest joys in Lexi’s life. Until one fateful night changed the course of Lexi and Lucas’s lives. An unforgettable moment that was also the crushing blow to not one, but two relationships.
An engagement should be a time of celebration. For a time, Aiden and Lexi were happy. With a wedding on the horizon, everything seemed perfect in their lives. Then one fateful night changed everything. Aiden turned his back on Lexi, and left a wake of devastation in his path. Lexi was left with a broken heart, and Lucas was left to pick up the pieces of Aiden’s betrayal.
Over time – Lexi and Lucas have become stagnant in their submissive/switch roles. They know that there will always be a piece of their dynamic missing. A search to fill the gap that Aiden left in their duo has proven to be harder than anyone could imagine. What they didn’t expect was a reoccurrence from the one person that shattered their lives. Aiden is back and determined to win back the hearts of BOTH submissives.
Luca, Lexi, and Aiden…..what a dynamic trio!! With so many mistakes plaguing this triad, the fight to capture what was once shared between the characters was genuine and heart-felt. Aiden has fought with his heart and head to come back to a place of devotion. Lucas ….I seriously think Lucas stole the cake in this story. Watching Lucas’ transformation over several books and his dedication to Lexi just stole the show.
This ménage was full of depth and emotion. A journey of self discovery and finding your true love. While I have loved Lucas and Lexi as a couple, there is no ignoring that they are out of this world when Aiden completes their triad. If you love hot ménages , then you don’t want to miss this Lexi Blake novel!!
An engagement should be a time of celebration. For a time, Aiden and Lexi were happy. With a wedding on the horizon, everything seemed perfect in their lives. Then one fateful night changed everything. Aiden turned his back on Lexi, and left a wake of devastation in his path. Lexi was left with a broken heart, and Lucas was left to pick up the pieces of Aiden’s betrayal.
Over time – Lexi and Lucas have become stagnant in their submissive/switch roles. They know that there will always be a piece of their dynamic missing. A search to fill the gap that Aiden left in their duo has proven to be harder than anyone could imagine. What they didn’t expect was a reoccurrence from the one person that shattered their lives. Aiden is back and determined to win back the hearts of BOTH submissives.

The story of Lexi, Lucas and Aidan is one full of heartache, intense passion and a long history. Lexi is struggling to say the least, she is floundering in for the past few years and Lucas is the only person that keeps her afloat. Lucas has found a life for himself, a half brother that loves and accepts him and is in love with a woman who can’t fully give him her heart. The relationship that exists between Lexi and Lucas is beautifully heartbreaking. The secrets that these two share with no one else binds them together but also makes it so difficult to move on. When the man who was a catalyst the torch painful road they are traveling is brought back into their lives things begin to change. First there are moments of anger and feelings of betrayal, but eventually Lucas and even Lexi see that their loved ones really want them to be happy and whole. The path that these three must take is not easy. Aidan has his own scars, emotionally as well as physically. His demons are always with him and eventually they threaten the happy and loving future he is trying to build with the man and woman he loves and adores. Yet again Lexi Blake has created characters we love and relate to in so many ways. And let’s not forget the occasional peeks into the lives of our McKay-Taggart crew that bring a smile to this readers face every time!

I love this series and finally getting to Lexi, Lucas, and Aiden was worth the wait but omg what a freaking mess that was to untangle just wow, but also a really tragically sweet read.
Can three people who love each other find each other again...
Aiden walked away, he walked away from them...
Lucas was left shattered after the most amazing night of his life, but he had to hold it together for Lexi his beloved because Aiden walked away...
Lexi often wondered what she ever did to have so much crap piled into her life but at least she had Lucas even if she didn't truly have him because well she was holding back as well, but how do you say the words that you need to say when the last time you did the love of your life walked away? Lexi couldn't lose Lucas but she also couldn't tell him she loves him because she was too afraid he would walk away as Aiden did.
Aiden realized his mistake pretty much as soon as he'd walked away from the two people who made him whole but he was stubborn and stayed away after a tragedy that leaves his body and minds scared and broken the only thing Aiden can focus on is getting Lexi and Lucas both back but is he too late? will they ever forgive him? it's been years will they have changed?
Oh, this story blew my mind in so many ways but I did really love the HEA...

I know I sound like a broken record, but I really am loving rediscovering these books and Siren Beloved was especially fun to read again. If you are just now discovering these books, then I hope you devour them like I do. Siren Beloved is another sexy addition with a side of a second chance romance.
Aiden knows that he screwed up when he walked away from not only Lexi, but Lucas as well after a night that made him question himself as well as parts of his sexuality. He has had things change him as well and, for me at least, made me route for him even more when you learn about it. The chemistry between Aiden, Lucas and Lexi is undeniably hot but will they be able to get over the hurt Aiden cause them?
I had forgotten how bratty that Lexi could be at times and how she routinely topped from the bottom. She needed a true Dom and while Lucas would try, she needed someone stronger who could handle her and get her to open up about her secrets.
Siren Beloved is another book by Sophie Oak that I highly recommend and one that I loved reading once more.

This is the 4th book in the Texas Sirens series and they should be read in order.
This wasn't just a menage story. This book had lots of suspense. Once again I was invested in the characters and their story. I am loving how the author writes the mmf scenes. I could use more, as always, but I really enjoyed the story. It was a quick read or maybe I finished it in one day because I didn't put the book down. hmmm!
I enjoy when an author pulls me in and develops the characters like Lexi Blake does. I feel a part of the story. I read or watch TV so I can get lost in the story and this author has been doing it every time.

Very good book in the revamped series. Not much of a mystery, but I don't think it was meant to be that much of a mystery. Looking forward to the next one.
