I absolutely loved this book the first time I read it, and I love it more each time I read it. This book completely engages like none other! There is something about the individual aspects of each character being alone and different and just how well they not only fit together, but need and 'get' each other. Trev is the recovering addict who needs to both be there for Beth but partner with Bo. Beth finally can express her true feelings for Bo who she has loved since she was 5 while letting go of all her shyness with Trev and Bo finally gets a place all of his own to fit in, he gets the girl he loves and the mentor he wants. This story, and these characters, speak to your soul as you travel with them to their final destination, an amazing read!!!

5 Star Review Siren In Waiting (Texas Sirens #5) by Sophie Oak I really enjoy Ms.Oak (Lexi Blake’s) style of writing and Siren In Waiting was one of those reads I could not put down. Perhaps because all 3 of the main characters are broken souls each searching for something just out of their reach. Bethany “Mouse” Hobbes has been in love with Bo O’Malley forever, but she is tired of waiting for him to sit up and take notice of what is staring him in the eyes. When Trev McNamara returns to his hometown with his NFL career in tatters, he meets Mouse and is attracted to her. However Trev is a Dom and he isn’t really looking for a sub. Bo is furious as he has been in love with Mouse for years but has never acted on it. When Trev realises the depth of Mouses love for Bo he encourages him to join them. Will Trev and Bo be able to overcome their differences and join forces to overwhelm and subsequently claim Mouse or will she run away? Although Siren In Waiting is not a long read, I found myself reading well into the night. There was romance, danger and suspense woven into the story and the scenes were smoking hot. The emotional issues that each of the characters has to go though for them to get their happily ever after meant that this book was at times raw and gritty.
