Sadly, this one to me felt like a mess. It needed better editing and a little rewriting. It didn't keep my attention at all and just felt like it was all over the place. It was lacking in plot and feels and just pretty much everything and I have no idea why I kept reading it.

Reviewer: Heather R.

Let's face it, I'm TOTALLY late to the game. Not only is this book over a year old, but the series started earlier than that. So why am I so late? Beats me. But I found this on NetGalley and couldn't resist. To be honest, I'm glad I waited. This seems to be the book that collaborates ALL of the installations in to one book. So yeah, this is basically three books in one. SCORE!!!

Naia is pretty much screwed. Why? Because she's caught between a rock and seriously attraction hard place. Her brother is in financial trouble with the absolute wrong people and her current boss seems to know it. So he offers her a chance to spy on a competitor, earning her a hefty sum that could save her bro. But once she meets the competitor, the money just doesn't seem worth it. Too bad it's too late anyway...

Cortez is the owner of the best night club in town and Sire to his clan. Everyone seems to want to work at his club, but he follows strict personal rules. So when Naia waltzes in searching for a job, the answer is a quick no. But not for the reasons you might think. In fact, he's not even 100% sure the reasons until it's too late.

Like I mentioned before, this book is all three installations of this series put together. Funny, because when I read this, I didn't know that. But it all makes sense now because there were times when I felt like I finished one story just to start another. Not that I'm complaining, it just makes sense now.

The chemistry between Cortez and Naia is off the charts smokin hot. I mean, hello, vampire. The story line was intriguing throughout and kept me glued to the pages as well. But it was the relationships between the clan members, Naia and even her brother that warmed my heart. The banter between them was refreshing and added to the effect of the overall story. All in all, this was a perfect way to enjoy the entire series in one sitting.

**Disclaimer: I was given an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.**

I wasn’t able to finish the book, but did have some pros and cons listed.

PROS:
+ vampires owning bars reminds me of true blood /sookie stackhouse

+ I like the idea of a modernized siren where you can see them performing on stage (albeit this story has the main character singing st a seedy gentleman's bar).

CONS:
- so far, 5-10% of the book has been pages of the main character “telling” the story. I’m zoning out about her relationship with Cole, the vampire/human war, and her grandmother? This is all within the span of 4 pages and I keep getting confused.

- also, with the main character telling us what’s going on or what had happened up to this point, there are no transitions so that you know when we’re coming back to the present. I had to reread passages a few times.

This review is not going to be long. I am not a huge fan of a review rehashing the entire plot and spoiling it for everyone.

This is the first book by Kiersten Fay that I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Her style of writing. keeps you interested and waiting for more. I cannot wait to read more of her books.

I received an ARC of this book to read through NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

I absolutely LOVED this book. While it was a compilation of popular tropes and things I've seen in previous books and movies/shows, I honestly thought it was done well enough and unique enough to stand on it's own leg. I'm an avid reader of fanfiction, and this felt like a crossover of some of my favorite fandoms!

Naia's secret was interesting, and it did get her into a few sticky situations, but I feel like it was underplayed a lot and could have been used in bigger scenes.

Steamy. Mysterious. A page turner! I couldn't put this book down. I read it over the course of two or so days and I'm beating myself up for waiting so long to pick it up. All the newly released paranormal romance just keeps raising the bar higher and higher! I can't wait to see what comes next.

I only got through 10 pages of this book, before putting it down. Nothing about the story drew me in.

This was a 3-alarm steamy, original tale about survival, trust, family sacrifice, friendship, betrayal, forgiveness, hope, and love. I can’t remember ever reading about sirens before, and the only thing that would have made the book better would be if Naia had soothed the woman rescued from the hunter with a tender lullaby. This was my first Kiersten Fay book, and I enjoyed every page,

I was given a free copy of Keeping His Siren, but that did not affect my review.

The setting of this book is an alternative future in which vampires live out in the open and humans, for the most part, just try to scramble by. I liked the world-building well enough but other than that, this unfortunately wasn't my cup of tea and I ended up skimming a lot.
The heroine, secretly of siren descent, is sent by her boss to spy on the hero. They meet, fall in instalust which is one of my personal turn-offs and spend a night together after which the hero whisks her away to a trip on his personal island. The hero is OK as a character, while powerful and overbearing, he's not an alphahole. The heroine however lacks in backbone and strength of character and the disparity in power between the two is enormous. Both story and writing are full of clichés and instead of character development or plot furthering we are lambasted with lengthy descriptions of the luxuries the hero showers the heroine with or gratuitious sex scenes. I haven't enjoyed this trope since Pretty Woman and unfortunately, everything else in the book is also things you've read a thousand times before.
I really wanted to like this, but due to lack of originality and a very boring heroine I was rather disappointed.

First off, I like the cover I thought it was super sexy. Love the page markers. Very elegant. I was a bit baffled by the main character's name, Naia Devoe. I thought a better one could've been chosen. One that made a little more mainstream sense. I loved the character descriptions. But my biggest point is I feel like the strip club atmosphere definitely cheapens the story a bit. I'm not a fan of it. I am however a fan of the instant chemistry between the characters but also not a fan of the slow burn that feels a bit tedious after a while. All in all, I liked it for the most part, but I still felt it was lacking for me. 4/5 stars.

So this was a major surprise... I came in expecting this read to be so-so, but wow! I finished it in one setting. I loved the character development, the world Kiersten created, the Naia’s spunky attitude, the hot sex scenes... I will be looking for more of Kiersten’s work and recommend it to others.

Kiersten Fay! Why didn't I know of you sooner? Naia is a strong woman with a unique ability, she fights for what she wants and doesn't cave nor does she play by anyone else's rules. She's amazingly well written like all characters are. Also Cortez was not what I thought he would be. He's not your typical alpha trying to boss the female character around nor does he tell her what to do. His actions are plausible and don't seem like he's letting his alpha male side show just to prove he can.

Naia is half siren and must sing in order to stay well and not harm others. She is encouraged by her current boss to seek employment at another club and spay on the manager to see if anything illegal was happening in the club. She was motivated by money she needs to pay towards her brother’s gambling debts. She didn’t expect the instant explosive and definitely mutual attraction to Cortez, the club owner/manager. He is unable to read her mind with his vampire gifts which intrigues him more. Their relationship smolders and leaves the reader breathless. Such passion! Such love!

What a spectacular book! I was so enthralled by the writing and I just kept waiting for the bottom to drop out on their situation. There was such a connection between Naia and Cortez it is a fun, wild ride they go on in this book. Really fascinating story line and great characters!

This is my first book by this Author but I am not sure as yet if it will be my last . I can honestly say that the story arc was good , although it seems to take bits and pieces from TV series , Vampire books as the premise for this world ……. and the characters were a little wooden and predictable , I found it hard to relate to them overall .

We have a Siren who needs to sing , who needs to protect her brother and takes a job spying on a Vampire - which she is sooooo unqualified to do .
We have a Vampire night club owner who meets all the clichés , just read about the chocolate covered strawberries ……. neither fully trust each other but the ending was great .
Put the two together and I am not sure if it is a recipe for success but it did keep me entertained .

<b>2.5 Stars</b>

This was one those reads that was okay in the moment, but which I had no problem putting down to do the dishes. In fact, it's one of those books which reminds me to be grateful to goodreads for keeping track of my reads...so I don't accidentally buy it in a year when I've completely forgotten I've read it.

The characters were decent enough, but their chemistry was lacking for me. I just wasn't feeling it, sadly. The side characters were also flat and wooden.

Also, in many ways, this read like an amalgamation of different movies, TV shows, and books series I've read/seen in the past.

The book takes place in a world where vampires are now known to the human world and have their own governing agency, etc., a la <i>True Blood</i>...The heroine stands out to the hero because <spoiler>he can read everyone else's mind, <i>except</i> hers, a la <i>Twilight</i></spoiler>, the hero gets the heroine a makeover and flies her off for a date on his fancy helicopter, a la <i>Pretty Woman</i>, the hero runs his own ridiculously popular nightclub, a la <i>Lucifer</i>, and - the most cliche - the hero brings out the dessert tray AKA the chocolate sauce as sex props, a la every cliche romance EVER.

I won't be continuing with the series and, while I didn't hate it, I also wouldn't really recommend it either. I'd be pretty annoyed if I paid for this one, actually. But, It might just be me. I've been in a bit of a slump lately and lots of my friends really liked it.

Keeping His Siren
by Kiersten Fay

A spy who doesn’t know how to spy. A vamp who wants the spy and can’t keep his hands off her.

Quite the plot, Naia DeVoe is a Siren and needs to sing. Her current boss, has asked to spy to on a man named Cortez, to pay her brothers debt off. And she agrees.

Cortez is the owner of the Ever Night club, and Vampire. He’s amused yet miffed when a beautiful slip of a girl walks in looking to speak with Cortez and not a bar monkey.

Cortez does end up hiring her, she tried once to spy, but she never does any work related work. They both struggle to trust each other. But the ending, and wow the stuff that happens to Naia is insane. You’ll just have to read it to find out, but I really liked this story!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

#Netgalley

Never read this author before but intend to read more of her books. This is the story of Naia and Cortez, Naia is a siren that is trying to take care of her brother, plus maintain control of her supernatural abilities. When her brother gets into trouble she needs to make some fast money. She decides to spy on the competition for her boss. She enters a pool match with a male that becomes a winner take all. Who is the winner? This book is a don’t wanna put down type.


I read this book as an ARC for NetGalley

This was a great read with wonderful characters. Naia was so much fun to read about as she and Cortez developed their steamy relationship. She has her problems and I love how she approaches each one. The chemistry between her and Cortez was great with lots of sexy time. Cortez was a treat to read about and I loved how he treated Naia. Can't wait for the next book! I am voluntarily giving my honest review on a free copy I received from the author.

Oh my what a lovely book! I've been getting into paranormal romance over the last year and I'm not regretting my decision to pick up that first book.

Keeping His Siren has a good, strong storyline which leaves you wanting more. I tried to savor this book, but I just flew through it (time flies when you're having fun).

All the characters has a proper and well thought out personality. Only the MC was given a tight backstory, but that is fine considering we, the reader, read from her perspective and she doesn't know every single detail about people either.

This book is full of smut (duh) but where with any mature fanfiction things are a little over the top Kiersten did a wonderful job at showing just how magical (and primal) sex can be. She wrote every mature scene in a very tasteful way. What I also love is the fact that the author didn't overdo it. Yes, there was a lot of sex, but there weren't too many scenes with it. Again, the amount of descriptive scenes was tasteful.

This book is great for fans of J.R. Ward and Larissa Ione. I will definitely check out some of Kiersten Fay's other books.

A deliciously, exhilarating paranormal romance that follows Naia & Cortez and their palpable connection.

Naia is sent to spy and collect intel on vampire Cortez, but what happens when you fall for the person you should be collecting information on?

A tantalisingly engaging read full of suspense and steam!
