Notorious Nora Sutherlin is famous for her delicious works of erotica, each one more popular with readers than the last. But her latest manuscript is different — more serious, more personal — and she’s sure it’ll be her breakout book… if it ever sees the light of day.
Zachary Easton holds Nora’s fate in his well-manicured hands. The demanding British editor agrees to handle the book on one … one condition: he wants complete control. Nora must rewrite the entire novel to his exacting standards — in six weeks — or it’s no deal.
Nora’s grueling writing sessions with Zach are draining… and shockingly arousing. And a dangerous former lover has her wondering which is more torturous — staying away from him… or returning to his bed?
Nora thought she knew everything about being pushed to your limits. But in a world where passion is pain, nothing is ever that simple.

I have two favorite series that I read over and over and this is one of them. The characters are witty, intelligent, and funny. The story is sexy, well thought out and will keep you turning the page. I love the way Tiffany Reisz develops this series. Characters I wasn’t that crazy about in the beginning I found myself rooting for by the end, and …
I’m very picky about my erotica (or in this case erotic romance). I basically compare any other to Tiffany Reisz and her Original Sinner series and all the books that make it up. The Siren is the first book and I just fell head over heels in love, not only with this book but all the the subsequent books. It’s erotica but it’s romantic (in its own …
The Siren is the first in Tiffany Reisz’s wildly popular Original Sinners erotic romance series and is head and shoulders above many of the other books compared to Fifty Shades of Grey. Reisz writes very sexy, steamy tales, no doubt, but she also has a talent for creating characters who feel real– the dialogue is believable, the emotions are …
This was my first book to read from this author.
Holy moley…..Tiffany Reisz blew me away. Excellent story, I loved the characters.
I wasnt sure I was going to like it…being the main character Nora was a Dom. Not my thing. Once I started reading it I just couldnt put it down.
It left me breathless and wanting more.
A new fan for life, cant …
Love this hot and steamy read. Great writing!
This book was both everything and nothing that I expected. I did not expect to have such varying feelings on the main characters, as I read the book it continued to change. I did think it was fun that Nora is a writer of erotica, and how that plays into the overall story. I’m STILL uncertain about what I think about a big twist in the middle of …
One of my beloved book friends recommended this book to me many, many moons ago and I just got around to reading it. I cannot believe it took me this long to pick it up because it is so good.
It starts out with the brilliant editor, Zachary Easton, refusing to work with the loved Nora Sutherlin because she is a erotica author. His boss, …
Every book in this series is great!
If you’ve heard of this series & haven’t read it yet DON’T WAIT any longer. I want to kick myself for waiting so long. Be prepared this is not a warm & fuzzy BDSM story. While there aren’t many explicit sex scenes the ones that are written show the more brutal side of the BDSM world. TR’s writing is smart & full of whit. This book will have you …
I loved it!
“The same wind that blows us off course can turn and carry us home.”
First off, this is not your typical HEA erotic novel, nor for the faint hearted.I have learned that not everyone is going to love this book in all of its dark and raw beauty, I have had people look at me like I have grown two heads at my response to this book. This doesn’t …
I was hauled into this book from the first page, I really couldn’t put it down and was sorry to get to the last one. The book surprised me and that isn’t usually an easy thing to do. The characters are flawed and feel real for their flaws. The heroine was smart, gutsy, in your face, yet also had a soft heart readily seen…she gave. Reisz can really spin a tale. This one is a keeper.
One of my favorites of all times.
What can I say this series has grabbed me by the hair and dragged me through hell and through heaven. This first book in the series starts out at a fairly moderate pace but don’t stop reading it is worth the wait for the action to really cut in. Initially I didn’t care for Soren, however as the series continued he really grew on me.
This book is not for the feint hearted and if you are easily offended don’t go there. Whilst not a romance in the sense of HEA and all that jazz, there is love, no one can love like Nora and no one play like her either.
As an atheist references about the church and all things that are forbidden have zero effect on me, underage sex, at 15? I suspect a large number of the worlds population have either lost their virginity or are trying to by that age. I didn’t find anything distasteful in these books, I thought it was all well written without some of the crass ideas and dialogue I have witnessed in other ‘erotica’ books.
Maybe there is a bit of kink in all of us, I certainly found much of these books pretty hot while at the same time gut wrenchingly sad before being whisked off back to a happy place onlsy to have the carpet ripped from under me again.
I rarely give books 5 stars, these books are well written and draw the reader into this world. I will definitely be reading this series again.
This book is absolutely one of the best BDSM books I have ever read. The raw emotion behind the characters and their actions makes this a compelling read. It’s not just surface level kink for clicks. This series is the real deal and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Tiffany Reisz
This was my first book to read from this author.
Holy moley…..Tiffany Reisz blew me away. Excellent story, I loved the characters.
I wasnt sure I was going to like it…being the main character Nora was a Dom. Not my thing. Once I started reading it I just couldnt put it down.
It left me breathless and wanting more.
A new fan for life, cant wait till I get the next book in this series.
This book is many things. It is brutal and heart-wrenching, beautiful and jarring, surprising and full of wit. One thing it isn’t: put-downable.
I started reading The Siren with the intent of reading a couple of chapters and calling it a night. But two chapters quickly became half the book, and I continued reading with the expectation of finding a “stopping point.” And I did–at the end of the book.
What Tiffany has done, and what I think is the most amazing thing about this book, is this: she’s written a seriously hot book with a soul. The Siren is two parts philosophy, one part religious treatise (for both BDSM and the Catholicism that is so present throughout the book), one part love story, and one part kink. Nora’s Catholicism is incredibly important to her, both for her faith and for her relationship with priest Soren, arguably one of the most complex characters I have ever read (and yet somehow Soren is so realistic he might be listening to your next confession). He’s both a major character and a philosophy all his own that is the undercurrent of the entire story and affects each character’s relationship web.
Nora is an amazing character all her own. Confident and conflicted, playful and sensitive, beautiful Domme Nora is leading two lives that she prefers to keep separate. For most people, work is work and play is play, but for Nora, play is work and work is play. When her new editor, high-strung Zachary Easton, finally makes her acquaintance, the stuffy Brit isn’t prepared for Nora’s straightforwardness, eagerness (for both work and extra-curriculars), or thirst for life. Their relationship blooms into an almost-torrid affair of sorts and culminates in an incredibly delicious, emotional, and evocative scene. Nora sometimes plays the role of psychologist, using her particular skill set and her intuition to give her clients what they need more than what they want. There’s a scene that sticks with me–the Michael scene–because it showcases just how good Nora is at her job and at reading people. It was one of the most moving scenes in the book for me (subject matter notwithstanding), and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that way.
Also, Chapter 10. Nora and Zach meet in a Catholic church, and they have one of the most mind-blowing exchanges I’ve ever read outside St. Thomas Aquinas and Plato. It’s powerful, moving, and stirring, and I found myself contemplating that scene throughout the rest of the book.
I could ramble all damn day about what I love and feel about this book. The depth, the dichotomies, the beautiful prose, the plot, all are incredible. Sadly, this rambling “review” has barely touched the book itself. I have difficulty putting into words (bad for a writer) the spell The Siren cast on me.
Obviously, this book isn’t for the faint of heart. If erotica and/or BDSM isn’t your thing…shit. Get out of your comfort zone and read it anyway 😉
Yeah so I bought this whole series YEARS ago and it was one of those books where everyone says “you really need to read this” and I say “I know but I really need to read everything in my TBR pile”. Well I should really should have read this years ago. So if this is one of those that you haven’t started, START IT. Like, now.
I read this book years ago and it’s stuck with me. This is one that must be read with an open mind. It’s extremely steamy and sexy. Tiffany writes with such beautiful prose. I couldn’t put it down.
WOW, Just WOW! Loved the entire series. Can’t wait for anything else she writ es!
