Naia DeVoe never mixes business with pleasure, but when she winds up in bed with the vampire she’s been hired to spy on, that rule gets tossed right out of his top floor luxury suite window. But Cortez is not a man to be trifled with; he’s rich, powerful and the hottest vampire club owner in town. From their first combustible night together, it’s obvious Naia is in way over her head…So when … head…
So when Cortez’s interest moves beyond a one night stand, Naia must contend with her intense feelings for him while concealing her true motives.
As the leader of his clan, Cortez must be careful who he trusts. No one gets too close to him…no one, that is, until Naia. He can’t help but be drawn to the beautiful seductress who all but demands his attention. Is she the one he’s been searching for, or just another woman destined to betray him?

Keeping His Siren by Kiersten Fay is book 4 in the Creatures of Darkness. This is the story of Naia and Cortez. I haven’t yet read the previous book, so for me this was a standalone book.
Naia is a Siren and Cortez is a vampire. When Naia is talked into trying to get a job with Cortez to spy on him she goes forward to try for the money that would be paid to her. Cortez is attracted to her and Naia to him…so instead of a job they end up with a week long pact. But the longer Naia is around Cortez she knows she can’t spy on him which sets off a violent reaction from her boss.
Enjoyed their story.
I really enjoyed this paranormal steamy romance. This sentence before says it all on the type of book this is. Who doesn’t love hot vampires. Once I started reading I didn’t want to put the book down. It has everything you want in a paranormal book, Alpha Male, mystery, drama, steamy scenes and protectiveness.
Really good steamy romance.
This book by Kiersten Fay was a hot and sexy paranormal romance with zing and action as it took the reader on a roller coaster journey of emotional highs and lows. Naia and Cortes were simply two dynamic characters who were destined to collide even though their social worlds were complete opposites of each other. The tension, the feelings, the heat, and the sex, were all hotter than hell and most enjoyable throughout the story. This is a very very late review of this book from Net Galley.
Book four of the creatures of darkness series Naia DeVoe a siren ends up in bed with her target possesive Cortez, a vampire leader of the clan. Sparks fly between them. A great standalone set in the same world but more the cortez clan than the past books. they have to learn to trust each other if they want to make things work. Liked this book has alot of everything Romance suspense well written and fun to read. fast paced as well Loved it.
Intense….Mesmerizing…Sensual…Gut Wrenching! I flew through the story and never wanted it to end!
Thank you to the author and publisher for publisher for providing me a copy of this book through NetGalley to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I love paranormal romances and this story did not disappoint. I enjoyed Naia and Cortez characters. There was never a dull moment when these two were near each other and I enjoyed every minute of it. Their story was one that was full of flirty and steamy moments, romance, and moments of suspense. I enjoyed this story a lot and I love it even more being that it was a standalone story because I did not read the previous books in this series. However, I definitely look forward to reading the other books, and I will be recommending this one to everyone I know that enjoy paranormal romance reads.
Creatures of Darkness series. I read the blurb for this book and said yep, gotta read this. OMG, I loved it, and have a new author on my goto author’s list. Once again, my TBR list is getting longer and longer. Stunning story. Charismatic characters. Dynamic dialogue. Saucy steam! I loved everything about this paranormal romance!
Vampire and Siren….
Sounds like an interesting couple doesn’t it? Cortez and Naia are more than interesting….they’re attraction is magnetic. They grabbed my attention and refused to let go. While it has been suggested that this story could be read as a stand-alone, I wouldn’t recommend it. There is too much interweaving within this “world” that can be confusing or missed if not read as part of the series.

Keeping His Siren is part of Kiersten Fay’s Creatures of Darkness series. Naia is a siren. A mythical being with a voice that can enthral any man. She has been hired to spy on Cortez, one of the oldest and most powerful vampires there is but from the very first she feels something for him. An attraction that is reciprocated by Cortez but how will he react when he finds out Naia’s real reason for wanting to sing in his club.
I liked this book but I didn’t love it. I felt that there was a lot left unexplained such as exactly what happened to cause the estrangement between Cortez and his sire. I realise this book is part of a series and as such, this might be covered more fully in a later book but it was the same with what happened between Cortez and Dante which, to my mind, is relevant to the story but isn’t really gone into in any depth. I also felt there was something missing when Cortez finds out that Naia is a siren but doesn’t seem to question it. I did love the secondary characters at Ever Nights and will be reading more from this series to see what’s in store for them.
This is the fifth book by Kiersten Fay that I have read (all of Shadow Quest came first) and she has yet to fail at getting me sucked in and keeping me from setting the kindle down! I swear, I looked up and realized I’d been reading for four hours at one point and had to make myself put it down to stretch and drink water just in case I seized up mid-story. Gulped it down in less than two days all told.
To give you a quick run down… The story is about a siren, her wayward brother, and a wealthy, old, and very jaded vampire. Please note: not your typical vampire story, though it had all the fun elements in there. The characters were all absolutely lovable (some of them in a shake your head and sigh way, but still) and at the same time fun and interesting. To be frank, this book, though the driving factor was paranormal, definitely leaned more into romance than paranormal. Just some spice to make it good.
I highly recommend this book! Seriously, you don’t know what you’re missing.
A DELIGHTFUL READ !!!
Designation: Book Four of Series, Full-Length Standalone Paranormal Romance, NO Cliffhanger
Reading Platform: Kindle Edition
My Rating: Five Sexy Stars*****
OMG! I loved, loved, loved this book! Where have you been, Kiersten Fay, and why have I never read any of your books before now?!? Double shame on me, but in my defense, I had no idea what I was missing! This may have been my first time reading the work of Kiersten Fay, but it certainly won’t be my last! But let’s talk details!
Keeping His Siren is an exciting, fast-paced, easy-to-follow, exceptionally well-crafted and edited, full-length standalone paranormal tale filled to the brim with heart-stopping danger, riveting drama, nail-biting suspense, agonizing angst, intriguing characters, flirty humor, steamy passion, and dreamy romance. The narrative is beautifully written in the third person with a single perspective from our sexy, seductress protagonist Naia Devoe. Okay, first let me say I generally prefer, at least, his and her perspectives in any kind of romance, whether it’s paranormal or contemporary, fiction or non. It’s just a pet peeve of mine. I like to know what’s going on in the mind of the hero and heroine of the story. More often than not, with only a single perspective, I find it hard to connect with both protagonists, especially the one who doesn’t have a point of view or as I like to say, a voice. But I’ll admit, Fay did an exceptional job conveying the feelings of the male protagonist Cortez through dialogue, but Fay also used his lack of perspective to build on the allure and mystery of his character. Very insightful and remarkably well done! After only one book, Fay has completely changed my way of thinking about stories with single perspectives and may have made me a convert. lol… The dialogue is smart, snappy, seductive, at times quite humorous, well executed, and flows effortlessly. But without a doubt, the crowning jewel of this seductive tale is the large cast of intriguing, somewhat quirky, and very engaging characters. I’ve always loved paranormal romance featuring vampires but surprisingly, this is only my second time reading a book featuring a siren. And wow, Naia is quite the character with the perfect combination of inner strength, street smarts, flirty sass, charming innocence, beguiling inexperience, spellbinding beauty, captivating sex appeal, and unquestioning loyalty to those she loves. Of course, her love interest Cortez, owner of Ever Nights Hotel and Club and the vampire she’s instructed to spy on, is no slouch himself. Cortez is quite an enigma throughout the story, to both Naia and the reader. Fay kept me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out if Cortez was good or bad, and whether he was just another womanizer or his attraction to Naia was sincere, all the while hoping for Naia’s sake that he’s one of the good guys. I’ll admit, by not knowing Cortez’s thoughts (again, very smart Kiersten Fay), there were a few times I was quite worried about his motives as well as Naia’s safety. but Naia and Cortez were perfect together and complimented each other brilliantly. I could actually feel the attraction between these two characters when they met and it became more intense every time they were together. Their interaction was mesmerizing, smoking’ hot, quite often hilarious, and nothing short of, well, magical. Never fear my lovelies, Cortez may not have had his own perspective, but by the end of the story, we definitely find out how he feels! No spoilers from me but I will say this…. A beautiful siren with secrets, literally compelled to sing for her life, who is now in desperate need of money to help her younger brother and willing to do almost anything, including becoming a spy, to save him-check! A handsome, wealthy, powerful, and very jaded vampire hotel/club owner with enemies who no longer believes in love-check! Danger, suspense, evil machinations, and a few deadly foes-check! Heated attraction, fiery passion, steamy sex, and sweet romance-you bet! That and a whole lot more!
Did I like this book? No, I loved it! Would I recommend it? You bet and I am but only for adult readers since it does contain some steamy, dreamy love scenes. And FYI, Keeping His Siren is the fourth release in Faye’s Creatures of Darkness Series but the first book of the Ever Night Chronicles. It is full-length (approximately 300 to 320 pages) and can be read as a standalone but ends at the 82% location of the book. The author has included an extended excerpt from A Wicked Hunger, the first book of the series. As I stated earlier, this is my first time reading Fay’s work so I haven’t read the first three books – yet, but had no trouble at all following this story. Will I read this author again! Absolutely! After reading the included sample of Book One, I intend to race back to Amazon to grab the first three books, and I definitely plan to read Book Five as soon as it’s released. Hopefully, we’ll find out more about Naia’s brother Cole in the next story! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! Fun, flirty, satisfying, and very entertaining! A delightful read! Well done, Kiersten Fay!
