Texas Sirens Book 4
By Lexi Blake writing
as Sophie Oak
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. Years later, Aidan returns home
from Iraq 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.

Excerpt
Lexi realized she was in serious
trouble the minute the words left Lucas’s mouth. Hell, she’d realized she was
in trouble the minute she opened her mouth. What was she thinking? She knew
damn well how to behave in a dungeon, but something about this Master made her
want to push him. Damn it. She’d been
this way all of her life. She had to push. She thought about taking a step
back, but before she could make her feet move, Master A had her in a fireman’s
hold.
“Hey!” She shouted as her world
upended. She turned her head up to throw a desperate look Lucas’s way.
Lucas stood there, a stony cold look
on his face. In that moment, he was all Dom, and she’d never seen him look
hotter. There was a confidence about him she had rarely seen when he was around
her. Lucas was utterly in command at work, but his surety faltered when she
walked into the room. Even when he performed a scene with her, she knew he
worried about her comfort. He didn’t look worried now. He looked ready.
Her heart started to pound as Master A
turned, and she lost sight of Lucas.
“I need a chair, Lucas.” The words
came out of the Master’s mouth like a judge delivering a sentence.
“Yes, Sir.” Lucas’s words were silky
smooth. There was not a hint of hesitation now. She could hear him moving to do
Master A’s bidding.
“What do you think you’re doing?” she asked,
though she was a bit less hostile now. She’d fucked up. She was glad Julian
wasn’t around to witness it, though Leo would probably tell him. Tears pricked
her eyes. Damn, she was proving to Leo she couldn’t handle the lifestyle.
“Look, Sir, I’m sorry. It was wrong of me to be rude to you, but I was merely pointing
out that Lucas and I had a plan for tonight.”
Reason. She could reason with
him, surely. It worked on all the men in her life. Of course, usually she was
looking at them instead of trying to plead her case to a group of back muscles.
The muscles were unbelievably tight, but his skin—oh, his skin had been
decimated in his lower back. It was a mess of white, puckered flesh, and she
could see both neat, surgical lines, and jagged edges. She reached out to touch
the mass of scars, but she was jerked back over his shoulder and set on her
feet before she could make it. She wobbled on her heels, but Master A’s big
hands held her shoulders.
“I don’t think you understand how this
is going to go, sub. I am the Master, and you are the one being punished. I
won’t put up with a spoiled princess telling me how her punishment will go. It
will go the way I say it will go. First, you will pay for the insult to me, and
then we’ll proceed to the sawhorse.”
“I don’t like the sawhorse.” The words
came out breathy and small, because she was beginning to understand that this
was serious.
Master A didn’t look like he was
planning on giving in. And she hated being called a spoiled princess, but a part
of her worried that he was right. The last few years, she’d allowed herself to
become spoiled and dependent. She’d fled from everything that hurt her. She’d
hidden. She’d let her stepfathers and Lucas coddle and provide for her so she
didn’t have to face the truth.
Master A didn’t flinch. “I don’t care.
Lucas has done the best he can, but the truth is he wasn’t trained to be a Dom.
He might enjoy it from time to time, but he prefers bottoming. You require a
firm hand. If you don’t want it, then you’re free to leave. No one is holding
you against your will. This is all about consensual play, so you have to make
the choice. Do you want the session to continue?”
She hated this part. This was the part
that she’d never understood. She had to make the choice, and she couldn’t put
it off on anyone else. She wanted for him to simply do it. Then she could blame
him later, but that wasn’t what The Club was about. She’d been coming here for over
a year, and she finally had to decide to make the choice—stay and put herself
in the hands of a stranger, or go and never know what it was like. And then
there was the fact that Master A was right. Lucas needed something she couldn’t
give him.
She cast her eyes down submissively.
How bad could it be? “Yes, Sir.”
Kim's 4 Star Review
Lucas Cameron and Lexi Moore have
been trying to do their best to keep it together after the departure of Aidan O’Malley,
Lexi’s Fiancé. Leaving was the biggest
regret Aidan had and now that he is back, and he will doing anything to get
them to forgive him and bring their trio together.
I was gifted this book in
exchange for an honest review.
Lexi Moore is a stubborn woman in
life but very submissive in the bedroom.
She knows what she wants but letting a person get close has been hard. Lexi is used to people leaving her and she’s
afraid that Lucas will leave her next.
She loves Lucas but she also loved her ex-fiancé, Aidan O’Malley too. Having
feelings for two men is hard, especially when you know that one of those men
loves both her and her fiancé. Lexi knows what she wants isn’t normal or accepted
by others but if her mother can have it, why can’t she?
Lucas Cameron is the black sheep
of his family. He may play the dominant
some time but he also likes to submit just as much. Having a senator for a father hasn’t been
easy but add being bi-sexual and he is the last person his father wants
around. Good thing Lucas’s half-brother
Jack showed him he can be himself without making a big splash all over social
media. The other good thing Jack brought
to his life is Lexi. She is the daughter
of his brother’s wife and is one of the two loves of Lucas life.
Aidan O’Malley had everything he
could ever want. Lexi was the perfect
woman for him and her best friend was great to both of them. But after a night of passion where the lines
became blurred, Aidan couldn’t handle what he felt. Use to being told that life was supposed to
be one way, how could it be normal to be what they shared. This was what had Aidan running away from the
two loves of his life. Realizing what he
left behind Aidan take control and lets his dominant side out and learns how to
handle not one but two submissives.
It’s been years since Aidan left
Lexi and Lucas behind. Both of them seem
to be moving on but Lexi isn’t coping as well as everyone thinks. She is still in love with Aidan but doesn’t
want to be. He left her just like
everyone else. On top of that she had
some bad luck since he left. Now that
she is carrying secrets from the ones she loves that are about to be revealed
as she spirals out of control. Lucas does everything he can to be what Lexi
needs. He loves her more than anything and
he knows she needs help but getting her to accept it is a whole other
story. After being outed by Julian, her Step
father Jack’s close friend, both he and Jack step in and force Lexi to deal
with the crisis she is having.
After spending time in The Club,
Aidan has learned everything he needs know how to be what both Lucas and Lexi
want and need from him. It’s freeing for
Aidan to let out the side of him that he kept from everyone else. After being
pushed to move his plan forward faster than he wanted, he is ready to take back
the two people he loves the most.
The chemistry between these three
is explosive throughout the book. It may not always be the good kind as Lexi is
too afraid to let both of her men in. There is no doubt they are meant to be
together but getting back to the way they should be, is going to be hard as
Lexi is determined to hold back. This trio pulls you in and takes you along for
the ride. Aidan, Lucas and Lexi may not be the perfect couple/trio but somehow
they make it work. They balance each
other perfectly which is how they make all work. That is until someone decides
that it’s time to show Aidan that getting his memory back is not a good
thing. This puts not only Aidan’s life
in danger but it puts the two most important people in life in danger too. The saying what doesn’t kill you makes you
stronger and in this case it is more than true for this trio.
Lexi wrote a truly amazing story
that gave her readers a roller coaster ride of emotions, suspense and a whole
lot of love. I found it hard to put the book down as I wanted to know what was
going to come next for this trio and if they would make it through. One always has to wonder if love is really
enough to keep people together and Lexi showed her readers that we all need to
stop and appreciate what you have because some day you make have to fight to
keep it and it will all be worth it in the end.
