Fantasy Diary #1
Christmas Fantasy
One bite was all it took.
It’s that time of year again. Alyssa Blakely is busy writing in her fantasy diary, filling it with all her forbidden, sexual fantasies. The star: her very sexy boss, Devin Jordan. Too bad for her, he’s never given her a second glance.
Or so she thought…
After a steamy kiss under the mistletoe and a night of wild sex, Alyssa has the bite to prove just how wrong she was.
Devin Jordan has found his mate. The only problem: she’s human. He’s not. Can he prove to her that his inner beast can be both naughty and nice? Or will her fear of the unknown keep him from claiming her?

About the author
Siren Allen
49 books240 followersHi, my name is Siren Allen. I’m a writer and lover of all things erotic and romantic. I reside in southern Mississippi where I write steamy romances that are guaranteed to make you blush. When I’m not listening to the characters in my head and jotting down their adventures, I am busy working as a Clinical Laboratory Technician.
I love to travel, preferably with my husband, so he can do all of the driving. I enjoy time with my family, who are just as silly as I am. I have no children…yet, wish me luck! My hobbies are reading, writing and shopping, though I hate trying on clothing. If I wasn’t a writer or a Laboratory Professional, I would probably be a Secret Agent. But that’s the beauty of being a writer; you can create your own world and be whoever you want to be. In my imaginary world, I am Queen and my siblings are my minions.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This author seems to amaze me more with everything that I read from her. This was definitely no different, each of her stories have their own twists that she brings to the plot line that will draw the readers to want more. In this Christmas romance, it evolves around an everyday women who has fantasies mainly about her sexy alpha male boss. Each year Alyssa, and her sisters have a pact of fulfilling their one big fantasy but they have yet to fulfill. Will this year be different for one of them? Devin, has the looks and money, yet he does not yet have his women. When he goes after the one that he believes is everything he is looking for, his biggest secret may be what tears them apart.
This is a great short paranormal read that I couldn't put down. Even the secondary characters that are introduced in this story have brought entertainment to this amazing book and hopefully for more in the future. Enjoyable Christmas read, that you will enjoy at other times of the year. Siren Allen will definitely deliver to her readers an amazing story no matter the size of the book and I look forward to reading more by this author. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys paranormal erotic romances.

Are you looking for a short, paranormal erotic romance? If so, Christmas Fantasy by Siren Allen is exactly the quick, pick-me-up you need for some scorching holiday reading.
Secretary Alyssa Blakely is a nice young woman that lives a lonely existence. She is sexually deprived, and as a result, writes her hot sexual fantasies in her diary almost everyday. In addition, her two sisters do the same thing, so when they see each other at Christmas, they share, share, share.
Alyssa's boss, sexy real estate developer Devin Jordan, is the star of her diary and imagination. Alyssa has lusted after him since the moment they met, but has never had the chutzpah to do anything about it. Little does she know that the feeling is more than mutual.
Devin is not human and his beastly alter ego wants to come out and play with Alyssa. Finally, after they share an amazing kiss under the mistletoe, a night of mind-blowing sex follows. Devin's beast feasts, which brings them both closer together and ultimately seals their future.
This is a slightly bizarre, yet interesting paranormal read. Alyssa and Devin are great together and their sexual appetites are extremely hot. I liked Ms. Allen's attention to detail and storytelling voice. I found her ability to tell a complete, nicely-written story in less than 75 pages to be truly skillful.

"One Hot read"
“Christmas Fantasy” by Siren Allen is one hot read! Alyssa Blakeley spends her working day dreaming up erotic fantasies about her boss Devin Jordan. Meanwhile Devin tries to avoid thinking similar thoughts about Alyssa and trying to discover if any other beings like himself exist. When they finally give into their desires, it is with the knowledge that they will never want to part. But the Angels of the Apocalypse are determined to destroy their bliss, but Alyssa and her sisters are not prepared to give up so easily on their men and are prepared to fight to hang on to their happiness. Beautifully written, fast moving and with a tangled plot that leads you inexorably on. The Angels are truly nasty and avoiding letting them achieve their aims becomes the Blakely sisters joint aim. I would recommend “Christmas Fantasy” to readers at any time of the year because they will not be able to put it down. A stunning read and I cannot wait for the next in the series. You’ll want more of Devin Jordan and the Blakely sisters.

I’ve read this author’s work before, and I was anxiously expecting a new book from her for some time. I’ve literally devoured Christmas Fantasy in less than two days, carried by the story, as well as by the incendiary sensuality and chemistry between the characters. Alyssa and Devin made the windows of my bedroom blur, and made me live their romance as intensely as they did. I was frustrated with them at times, and excited when the conflicts within the story began to resolve. But all the while, Siren Allen kept me glued to the screen with her skillfully weaved story. Also, thanks to her I have discovered another two great authors at the end of her book.
All I’m wondering right now is how I will stand the wait until the next story comes along!

What a thoroughly hot paranormal erotic story this was. The author did a fantastic job of putting a complete story into about 125 pages.....although I certainly wouldn't have complained if it was longer:)
This is Alyssa's story and of her fantasies that she writes about her boss Devin.
I was glued to this story & read it in one sitting.
Fabulous story from a brilliant author.

Not What I Expected but a Great Read
I was going to stop reading this book after I discovered that it was not a BWWM story. However, I could not stop reading it. I wanted to see what happened between Devin and Alyssa. I enjoyed how it started out and how he fought to stay away from her. I was fascinated with her diary. So I kept reading. And reading until I finished it.
Devin was all alpha and I loved that. He was strong and protective and very passionate. And to add to that he was a sexy muscular vampire/succubus. Two points additional points for him.
Alyssa was a little slow and inexperienced. I almost expected her to be supernatural at some point but the author did not give anything away that she was. She was a weakling and it wasn't because she was a human. Later in the story, she became stronger and more alpha herself. I liked that part of her. She matched Devin and appeared to be more his equal.
This story reminded me of the last book of the Twilight Series, "Breaking Dawn". There were lots of similar characteristics.
I was shocked but I really enjoyed reading this story. I am not sure if I will continue to read the rest of the series but I enjoyed this story. I also liked how the author introduced the characters to the next series.
Give it a chance. You might enjoy it as well.
Happy Reading!

Steamy and perfect. Well written characters that draw you into a captivating story. I love stories based around a woman falling in love with her paranormal boss, and I find myself eager to read the next in the series.
Devin being a vampire holds them back as he fights his feelings towards her. How could he possibly be with a human? Loved his vulnerability. Whew! He is sexy and you find yourself wishing you were his.
It was easy to imagine myself in Alyssa's shoes. We've all had that out-of-reach crush that we never thought would happen, but for her, it did. She had strength and I never thought of her as weak willed or spineless. Love me some go-getter characters! Now, go get your man!
I found the entire book deserving of five stars. If you're looking for something to heat up your night, look no further. This book has it all!

Alyssa and Devin
This was a good read and I really liked Devin. He's a vampire/ succubus hybrid that really still trying to find his footing in the world even tho he's a successful businessman now. Since he met Alyssa as his grandmother's sitter she's all he thinks about. Now that he's made her his secretary for the last couple of years it's getting harder to hid his feelings. It took a minute for me to latch on to Alyssa cause she was .... I don't know, something. She ok and got better once she stopped acting weak. Now that he's found his mate and brothers it's about to be some mess cause evil angel assassins are coming for them.💞💞

Book 1 of 3
I waited to write my reviews of this series after I finished all three books. I came upon this series through the Once Upon a Villians series. That series led me to book 3, then I saw it was the third in a three-part series and decide to read the entire series.
I will admit I assumed the MFC in this book would be Black since the MFC in book 3 is Black (and all the MFCs in Once Upon a Villian are too). I don’t usually read paranormal romance/fiction that does not center Black women. Nevertheless, I gave it a try.
All in all it wasn’t a bad story. It is not my favorite of the series, but I do enjoy Siren Allen’s storytelling and it kept me interested. The romance had enough intrigue/challenges to be entertaining. The world building was not strong, but it is the first of three (so far) and the MMC did not know his origin, so the audience learned along with him.

Enjoyable paranormal romance
I really enjoyed this book.
We have Allysa Blakely,who is Secretary to Devon Jordan. Unbeknownst to each other, they each wish they could be together without the other realizing it. Throw the paranormal into the mix and they have an adventure neither of them could see coming.

Sweet & Sexy
This was a slow burn, but once the action hit there was no stopping it. Alyssa & Devin were sweet. I did get a little tired of the back and forth of uncertainty of their feelings for one another but once that passed it was a good read.
Now on two Kelan and Ashley’S story.

Good read
The fact that I had this book in my library and just now reading it is just plain ridiculous. I really enjoyed it even though I usual steer clear of books where the female lead isn't black.

So entertaining! Was not expecting the complex subplot towards the end. It doesn’t end in a cliffhanger but the story is not over. Alyssa and Devin realized their love for each other but the storyline continues in the next book with Ashley and Kelan.

Christmas Fantasy,
This is an 18+ read due to strong sexual content. If not sexual scenes are not your thing then this is not the book for you. This is also a paranormal romance so again if you don't enjoy these types of stories then this isn't the book for you. I have to give this one a 4.5 star review as I honestly loved this story. I have to say that this was a fantastic read. Once I started I could not put it down. This was a one sitting book for me.
Welcome to the sexy fantasy world of Alyssa Blakely. In this wonderful paranormal read Alyssa is looking for a guy who will make all her fantasies come true. Most of her fantasies revolve around her hot and sexy boss Devin Jordan. Alyssa is not for her boss but thinks that he doesn't see her in the same light, oh boy is she wrong. Behind closed doors Devin is just as hot for Alyssa. Only problem is Devin has a secret, and it is not a small secret. After Alyssa's boyfriend breaks up with her things go crazy. Next thing she knows all her fantasies are coming true. With the help of her crazy sisters how well Alyssa handle Devin's secret, and will she be able to get past it to get everything that her heart desires. This is a fantastic love story that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
Now for the reason why I only went with 4.5 stars is that the way that things play out is very fast. One minute Alyssa and Devin are sure they don't belong together then all of a sudden they are falling in bed doing the Fed. There was also mention of another woman from Devin's main office that opened the door that there was something going to happen and then it's like that it's just gone. With that area of the book I feel like we got left hanging. Other than those couple of things this is a great book.
So if you are looking for a great paranormal romance then check this one out. It is sure to not disappoint. I hope you enjoy Alyssa and Devin's story as much as I did. Happy reading!

Christmas Fantasy was a quick easy read for me. It took me just a couple of hours. It is 16 chapters in length. In researching the author, this book looked to be the third that Ms. Allen has published.
Christmas Fantasy introduces us to Alyssa Blakely. Alyssa has two sisters all of whom are close. They each keep a diary that holds fantasies that they think up. Christmas is when the fantasies are revealed. In the book it is getting close to Christmas and Alyssa is fantasizing about her boss Devin Jordan. Devin is 100% Alpha male. As described by Ms. Allen, Devin is ruggedly handsome with his blond hair hanging down to his shirt collar and he has a goatee. Charlie Hunnam comes to mind when I picture Devin.
Devin also fantasizes about Alyssa and wants here as much as she wants him. However, Devin has his own secrets. Nope, not going to say, you have to read the book. Ms. Allen creates slight drama when she introduces two other characters that seem to have our main characters attentions, Thomas and Liani. There are not many men out there like Thomas. His actions at the beginning make me wonder about him. He is a mama’s boy. As for the second character Liani, I liked her. She is an interesting character that could be expanded on if the book is made into a series.
We are also told that Alyssa has two sisters and towards the end of the book, we are introduced to two guys who are apparently Devin’s brothers. One of whom has an encounter with one of Alyssa’s sisters.
I was pleased with how the story progressed, though I wish that it had been a little longer in length to allow for possibly more tension or more drama. I also felt that Alyssa and Devin’s story was told, with the introduction of Devin’s brothers and the encounter with Alyssa’s sister, things were left open at the end of the story. Maybe Ms. Allen left it that way for a possible sequel or series. I guess that we will have to wait and see. Definitely go and check this out if you are between books and need something quick and easy to read.

Series: Fantasy Diary #1
Category /Genre: Paranormal Romance
Received from: Siren Allen (in exchange for an honest review)
Recommended for: 18+ due to sexual content
Grammar/editing: A – near perfect
This is the first book in the Fantasy Diary series. They do need to be read in order.
Alyssa and her sisters, Adora and Ashley, have a tradition of writing fantasy diaries and competing to see who will fulfill their fantasy before Christmas. None of them have ever won their little fantasy contest, but it’s fun to play. Alyssa’s boss, Devin Jordan is her muse for all of her fantasies, but she is certain he has never thought of her that way. Devin does think of her, constantly, but doesn’t believe he should. He is a Beast to her Beauty, a dark creature with a conscience, and he fears her reaction if she were to discover his truths.
Alyssa and her sisters reminded me of the weirding sisters, each different, but together they are bonded and extraordinary. Alyssa even has her cat familiar. Devin may be beastly, but he is also incredibly compassionate and passionate with his Alyssa. This was a terrifically dark, steamy, seasonal read, well worth reading.
Back in December 2013, I read this great little story and I was completely sucked into this world of demonic vampires and lust-filled daydreaming. Ms. Allen has decided to add content and characters. It will now be a series. (I guess she took my “hint, hint” to heart – yeah me!) While I loved this as a short, erotic, holiday story, now it is even better and I beyond excited that this story will continue just in time for Christmas this year.
I look forward to more from Ms. Allen. She is a master at the steamy romance that I love.

This author seems to amaze me more with everything that I read from her. This was definitely no different, each of her stories have their own twists that she brings to the plot line that will draw the readers to want more. In this Christmas romance, it evolves around an everyday women who has fantasies mainly about her sexy alpha male boss. Each year Alyssa, and her sisters have a pact of fulfilling their one big fantasy but they have yet to fulfill. Will this year be different for one of them? Devin, has the looks and money, yet he does not yet have his women. When he goes after the one that he believes is everything he is looking for, his biggest secret may be what tears them apart. I read the original release (which I thought was great too) but this re-release and with the new scenes and characters had definitely took it a few steps higher.
This is a amazing paranormal read that I couldn’t put down. Even the secondary characters that are introduced in this story have brought entertainment to this amazing book and hopefully for more in the future. Enjoyable Christmas read, that you will enjoy at other times of the year. Siren Allen will definitely deliver to her readers an amazing story no matter the size of the book and I look forward to reading more by this author. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys paranormal erotic romances.

"Christmas Fantasy" by Siren Allen. This is the first book of Ms. Allen that I've read and I cannot wait to read more! I loved it!! It's the story of Alyssa, a secretary in love with her boss, Devin. She writes a "sex fantasy" diary that stars Devin but believes she doesn't have a chance with him. Because of his secret, he believes he can never be with Alyssa, despite being in love with her.
Alyssa is fun, sweet and cheerful yet a bit vulnerable, believing she isn't really desirable. Devin is strong and confident, yet conflicted about his feelings for Alyssa. His patience with her while she came to terms with his true self was wonderful.
Ms. Allen did a great job with this. I loved the writing style, from both POV's. It was fun to "read their thoughts", especially once Devin could read her mind! There was romance, fun, love, a bit of heartbreak and suspense. I'm looking forward to the next one in the series. This is one I will definitely recommend! (Received copy for honest review)

If you are looking for a quick and easy read, Christmas Fantasy is it. I read this book within a day. I really liked it.
In this story we are introduced to Alyssa Blakely. She has two sisters that are very close. Each year the keep a diary that has fantasies that they made up and they are supposed to reveal them each year at Christmas. Alyssa fantasizes about her boss Devin Jordan. We can fantasize Deven as very Alpha male who is ruggedly handsome with blonde hair and a goatee.
While Alyssa is fantasizing about Devin she doesn't know that Devin is fantasizing about her. Although Devin has some secrets. He has been doing a very good job at hiding them also.
I really liked how the story was written. I fell in love with all of the characters, Alyssa's sisters and Devin's brothers. There was some drama that I really got into reading. I wish the story was a little longer but that just makes us want to read more. :) This book is a must read.

I am just getting into this paranormal book thing even though it's been around for a while. I have to say that this book roped me in right away. I'm not sure what it was about this book that got me first, but I think it might have been Alyssa. She is so fun, lost in her own fantasies and not afraid to be herself.
I don't want to give too much away about this book because I REALLY want people to go and get this book. What I will tell you is this, you may think you know these characters, but you don't. Each one of them will end up surprising you, taking you a direction you never expect. You'll see into each of their minds as their thoughts flow across the pages. There are turns throughout the story that keep you guessing and will make you want to read the book straight through.
I honestly read this in about a night, because I couldn't put it down. I am ridiculously excited for the next book to come out to see what happens to all the characters. I am officially hooked!

Independent Reviewer for Paranormal Romance and Authors that Rock
I give it 5 fangs.
Christmas Fantasy by Siren Allen is the first book in the Fantasy Diary series. I would suggest this book for mature adults only.
Alyssa Blakely and her sisters write sexual fantasies into the diaries. For a while all of Alyssa’s fantasies have centered around her boss, Devin Jordan. And as Devin goes, he is her boss and never gives her a second look that she can tell.
Alyssa does have a boyfriend, but he refuses to advance their relationship into sex. She believes she must have been cursed by a voodoo witch. She has never had any luck with men and sex.
Devin is more than he seems. And his thoughts on Alyssa are not of the professional type. If only one of them would admit what they felt.
Without giving away any more spoilers, if you like paranormal and erotica, then you will love this book. I can’t wait to start reading book 2 “Dark Fantasies”.

It's a different Christmas tale, that involves vampires and demons!
Alyssa ~ I loved her fantasy dairy, maybe I need to do one myself! But she was a simple down to earth type girl who has sexual fantasies about her boss Devin! When she tries to seduce her bf he turns around and dumps her, I'm sorry but that was funny especially seen how he did it via text message!
Devin ~ He was H.O.T hot! Where can I find one? He was just starting to figure who and what he is somewhat. And just when he gets a hold of Alyssa, she takes off before he can try to explain anything!
But overall it's a good short holiday read!

I loved this story. You can feel Devin’s pain as he tries to fight his feelings for Alyssa. And when he found out they were mates, he let nothing stop him from being with her. Alyssa, though when she found out what Devin was, she was understandable afraid, but when she let him explain, I was happy with that.
Because most of the woman try to run away and it’s all long and drawn out until they get back together. Devin and Alyssa were awesome together and they stuck by each other, until one night and Ashley made Devin feel bad.
Alyssa didn’t le that last long she went to look for her man and I loved it!

This will be my second review this week of a short story, if you follow my blog you will note that I do not do short stories unless they are novella's tied to a Series. The biggest reason is because I don't like the rushed through feel or all the leaps and bounds a short story normally takes in order to keep it short.

This was a very enjoyable read. I was sucked into the struggle that Devin and Alyssa have with their attraction to each other. Their is a lot of heat between the two. This book is the first in the series and I think reading them in order would be the best idea. I enjoyed the paranormal aspects in the book however when Alyssa overcame her fears about Devin's beast what I thought was quickly, I was surprised. I read this all in one setting and was ready to read the second book in the series...

Siren Allen’s “Christmas Fantasy” is the hawt first book in her Fantasy Diary series. I actually read #2 first and it was so well done, I went back and read this one, which is told from a different point of view. I like the storyline and there’s a great ensemble cast of characters. The sexy bits are amazing. Who wouldn’t love to have an incubus in the sack? The mythology is interesting and I’m waiting to see how it all turns out. Both of the books need a smidge more copy editing.
