Texas Sirens: Legacy #1
The Accidental Siren
Joshua Barnes-Fleetwood is the prince of Willow Fork, Texas, but not all is right with his world. He’s the heir to a multimillion-dollar company, has a family he adores, and his best friend at his side. He can’t figure out what is missing until Nicole takes a job at Christa’s Café. The pretty waitress is a mystery he needs to solve. He’s never been so attracted to a woman, and after one night in her company, he’s sure she can handle his needs. Unfortunately, he’s also sure she’s lying to him.
Jared “Grim” Burch found a home with the Barnes-Fleetwood family when he desperately needed one. With support from his newfound family, Grim beat all the odds and became a veterinarian. In Willow Fork, however, there are still people who are suspicious of him and his past. When he sees Nicole, he knows she’s the perfect woman for him and Josh, but he wonders if he has the right to bring her into his sometimes dangerous circle.
For Nicole Mason, Willow Fork is nothing more than a pit stop. Once she can save up the money to fix her car, she’ll do what she’s been doing for the last several years. Run. Framed for her husband’s murder, she can never stop looking over her shoulder. There’s always someone on her trail, and she can’t let them bring her back to the real killer. Getting to know Josh and Grim makes her dream of the life they could have together. If only she could trust them with her secrets.
When their past catches up to them all, they’ll find out that even a small town can be big trouble.

This was not only my first menage book but also my first book by Lexi Blake/Sophie Oak, and I am hooked! I know want to go back and read ALLLL of the books from the first series so that I can have more context when they were referenced here. This can definitely be read as a standalone, but I think you would understand a little more if you read the other books first. It doesn't affect the story at all though. Anywho this has cowboys, some suspense, they fall first, found family. There are mentions of domestic violence off page so I recommend checking the trigger warnings before diving in!
Josh & Grim are looking for more in their life. They have their jobs and their family, but they want a woman who can handle their lifestyle. The lifestyle of a sub in a menage that is. They have had their fun working through the town and making sure their partners have enjoyed themselves but they want what their parents have which is forever. That is when they meet Nicole. The elusive new server at the diner. The server who is definitely hiding something. The server who also doesn't seem to back down from things. This is who they set their sights on. Josh will go in with the swag and charm while Grim will do the sweet talking. They will figure out what is going on in her life and help her through it. She seems open to trying their lifestyle. They will be able to talk her in to staying and settling down with them...or so they think.
What they don't know is that as much as she wants something long term she is only thinking through the next week or so while her car is fixed. She is thinking this time she has with Josh and Grim is great short term. She is on her way to Mexico hiding from her past that seems to be catching up to her. Though she can't seem to stop thinking about what if. What if she stayed in Willow Fork? What if she decided to do something more with Josh and Grim? What if she laid roots here? But then her past collides with the present and now she has to hope that everything Josh and Grim have told her is true. Will they help her through or leave her like everyone else has?
I liked the pace of this book. The buildup seemed realistic. The chemistry between all of the characters was great. I didn't know what to expect between Josh and Grim but liked that. I liked the character development of not only Nicoel but Grim. Both of them have never felt truly wanted. Grim has just been too stubborn to acknowledge that he is a Barnes-Fleetwood but Nicole helps him see that. She stands up for him like no one else has. I liked all the side characters we got to meet. I found myself wondering who the next book would be about and how many of them would there be? I am thinking book 2 will be about their sister but who knows. Now I am going to start back at the beginning and read about how Barnes and Fleetwood became the name that it is. I recommend this if you are looking for a pretty fast paced book with some hot steam unlike anything I have read before!

I really wish this book was advertised as it being third person POV as my decision to sign up for the ARC may have been different.
I struggle with third person point of view, which might’ve possibly been part of the reason why I couldn’t enjoy this book as much as I wanted to.
This book is advertised as a standalone, but there were so many characters and so many names pushed onto the reader, it was nearly impossible to remember, who was who at times.
I love the premise of the story.
I love why choose and polyamorous relationships but this was a bit too Insta love for me.
The spice was just OK. It was nothing exciting which really bummed me out because when I hear there is a MFM relationship, I want the good stuff!
Josh and Grim are step-brothers and self proclaimed Doms. They grew up in the BDSM lifestyle.
They want to find a female submissive to be theirs. Forever.
And that’s when they spot a new waitress in town who’s holding back a lot of secrets. She is on the run from something however, they are way too excited to get her in bed and immediately request that she be there submissive within days of knowing her.
Nicole, who understandably has major trust issues with men literally takes two grown men into her hotel room and has relations with them without even knowing exactly who they are.
It was a little awkward to read because everything was moving way too fast for my taste.
After about the 70% Mark, I did skim through because there’s just a lot of dialogue and not a whole lot that goes on. I found more action and the conclusion to the whole plot satisfying. Overall, I liked the story but wouldn’t exactly continue the series.
I appreciate the ARC and reading a new to me author.

My Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️.5
Disclaimer: I received a review copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily.
Reading Order: Some characters from prior books make cameos (though now it's years down the line from their books). You can read in any order. This was my jumping in place.
General Thoughts: I have read quite a few Lexi Blake books now, and I've really enjoyed almost all of them! Like I mentioned above, I haven't read the older generation series. I have only read her contemporary and her Masters and Mercenaries series. There was definitely some crossover.
I loved this one. I enjoyed all of the characters, the writing style, and the romance. Lexi does a great job of creating characters and worlds that suck you in immediately, and this one was no different. I had thought the suspense would be a little heavier, but I liked the blend here all the same.
If you haven't read a Lexi Blake yet, this would be a great starting one. If you have, then this has all her trademark signatures.
Can't wait to read more by her.
Steam Meter: ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 It was definitely steamy. Not the most graphic or prolific, but definitely there and often and B.D SMy/k1nky.

-romantic suspense

“There is no amount of time you could take that I wouldn’t be waiting at the end of it.”
It’s been two years since she left her life behind and has been on the run. Nicole is now stuck in a small town called Willow Forks waiting for her car to be repaired before she moves on. But one night she decides to let go and has a wonderful night between two cowboys. But will they let her leave once her car is fixed?
This was good. It started strong and the spice with the delicious dominating cowboys had me screaming. Enjoyed the storyline of the story but I wasn’t shocked when some reveals came into play. It’s told in the third person which I don’t mind but there is some inner monologue that was a little repetitive in the first 50%. I will mention there are quite a few characters in the family circle and outside as well. I would forget who they were with, related to or where they were from at times. Overall it’s a good read.

I love a good romantic suspense book and this one delivered. I enjoyed the best friends/brothers dynamic between Josh and Grim. Add in that they share conquests, made it all the more interesting. But honestly I really enjoyed the dynamic between Josh, Grim and Nicole. They each had their different qualities that when put together felt like a whole. Nicole and Grim had good character development throughout the book because of each other which was really nice as well.
This book had me engaged from the beginning. I thought there was interesting backstory for each character which helped to make them more developed as a character overall. I’m not big on insta-love, but I enjoyed the main story enough that I was able to overlook that. I’m definitely interested in going back and reading the first generation set of books.
Sadly, the audio for me was not what I wanted.
I’m a huge audiobook lover but I hate to say I think in this case the narration killed the story.
I personally found none of the narrators really had the vocal charisma to keep me engaged and wanting to listen to the book. Instead I forced myself to listen because I was interested in the plot of the book. I found both the male narrators sounded the same it was hard to tell whether it was Josh or Grim speaking.
The female narrator was the best of the three in my opinion but at times I felt like she even at an increased listening speed she seemed so slow and drawn out speaking when it wasn’t needed. I think if I had read the book instead of listened to it I would have enjoyed it more.
While this is a standalone, there were a lot of side characters introduced that were part of the original series. I think having read the original series it would have been easier to keep track of all the secondary characters. Again maybe it would have been easier to track if reading the book and seeing the names, but listening and every character sounding the exact same was difficult to keep up with.
I think if I had read the book it would have gotten a higher rating but unfortunately for me this audiobook was only alright.
Thank you to the author and Valentine PR for the opportunity receive an alc in exchange for an honest review.

It's no secret that I will pick up any book by Lexi Blake and read or listen because I'm that sure I will enjoy the story.
It's been a long time since I've read a Texas Siren book, and I absolutely love that she's writing a 2nd gen!
Knowing that there are previous books in this series I haven't read didn't worry me because there's usually enough background of the characters to follow along. Honestly, it makes you want to go pick up from book 1 of the OG books and binge them like your favorite Netflix series!
Here's what you're getting when you read this book:
MfM menage w/a BDSM lifestyle.
True love with a HEA.
The SUSPENSE!
Readers who've read the series will get some nice hits if nostalgia!
PS : To Lexi: that acknowledgement is everything!! Loved that you are so supportive to other authors in this and all genres! Your wisdom and wit are priceless!

"Without Grim, Josh could become a possessive tyrant. Without Josh, Grim might never ask for what he wanted. Without them, she would be so fucking sad."
On the run from a physically abusive ex, Nicole ends up in small town Willow Fork, TX where she's pursued by Josh and Grim - ranchers, "brothers," and hot as sin BDSM sex gods 🥵
I really enjoyed this read! Not too spicy, even with the BDSM, maybe 2.5 - 3 🌶️. It really focused more on the story of Grim's upbringing, what led Nicole to their town, and how it all gets wrapped up in the end.
I noticed this is book 9 in the Texas Sirens series, but even with not having read the others, I in no way felt lost - as this is next gen. I'm definitely intrigued about the Parents' origin stories, though!

It's been almost fifteen years since I first read about this tiny town in Texas and completely fell in love with an author named Sophie Oak.
Now, as we've returned to the town of Willow Fork, time has moved forward for the Barnes-Fleetwood family and The Accidental Siren is a book that now focuses on the next generation. The babies have all grown up and my, my, my have they grown up good!!
What I loved about this book is that it's a beautiful walk back in time with blasts from the past stirring up huge nostalgia, while the plot continually moves forward with the younger generation. It's a wonderful blend of parents and their now, grown up children, living cohesively within this same world. It gave me all the steam and emotion that I adore with the main throuple, while also giving me the strong familial feelings that I crave while reading a Lexi Blake or Sophie Oak book.
Josh Barnes-Fleetwood is a great combination of his parents. The strong determination of Jack, the easy going smile of Sam, and the loving nature of his mother, Abby.
Grim, his best friend, took like a duck to water with the rules and order, when it came to their lifestyle, but he also thrives under both giving and receiving praise and lots of love.
Nicole had never been in a loving relationship, so having two men shower her with it, on top of a family who adores her brought tears to my eyes.
It never fails how many of Lexi's books I read, I always end up in tears. This new generation is truly something special as it made me cry (I know nothing new), but it also made and laugh, while unearthing all the nostalgic feelings 🥹 I can hardly wait for more.

This was a completely engrossing read, as I couldn’t wait to see how things came together! There is a lot that ends up going on in the last half of the book, but the, the start is the honeymoon, hearts and flowers, instant attraction, give me two cowboys, fun. Then things are revealed, the story heats up, slows down, and the mystery of it all starts to unravel, as well as easter eggs galore. Loved how our menage established and worked through their relationship. How the people around them who loved and cared for them offered advice, but let them make their own decisions. How are characters find their own way, on their own terms, in their own time, to make their relationship into what works for them <3 p.s.I also loved how some things never change, and am so happy that that is the case 😊

OMG!! Such an amazing book and Lexi Blake knows how to make the kids of the OG's just that good and how to make the OG's show up and handle things when needed and oh yeah some fun surprises along the way :) It was great to get caught up on what's been happening in Willow Fork, Austin, and Dallas and somewhere else but that one I'm just not going to say because I don't want to spill the tea so you can read for yourself.
Josh Barnes-Fleetwood and Grim are looking for woman and Nicole is running from her past and she's stuck in Willow Fork until her car can be fixed and Josh and Grim have there sights set on her. Both Josh and Grim know somethings not right with Nic and she's probably running from something but they just aren't sure what so they bring in help to find out what, but it backfires because their dads are one step ahead. It just gets crazy to say the least!! Luckily Sam and Abby are there to help calm everyone down :) And there are a few guest appearances of course. This is a Lexi Blake book so of course we have to have some special guest appearances!!
Couldn't put the book down, just awesome! Can't wait for book 2!

Narrator: Kitty Bang, Lance Greenfield, Christian Leatherman
An intriguing storyline with descriptive writing and good storytelling that will draw you in.
The audiobook was enjoyable, although a little bit drawn out in my opinion, but however good, this book showcases the kids from earlier series all grown up base off the references made, I was able to pick up on most of them although this was my first book by the Authors.

Description
Joshua Barnes-Fleetwood is the prince of Willow Fork, Texas, but not all is right with his world. He's the heir to a multimillion-dollar company, has a family he adores, and his best friend at his side. He can't figure out what is missing until Nicole takes a job at Christa's Café. The pretty waitress is a mystery he needs to solve. He's never been so attracted to a woman, and after one night in her company, he's sure she can handle his needs. Unfortunately, he's also sure she's lying to him. Jared Grim Burch found a home with the Barnes-Fleetwood family when he desperately needed one. With support from his newfound family, Grim beat all the odds and became a veterinarian. In Willow Fork, however, there are still people who are suspicious of him and his past. When he sees Nicole, he knows she's the perfect woman for him and Josh, but he wonders if he has the right to bring her into his sometimes dangerous circle. For Nicole Mason, Willow Fork is nothing more than a pit stop. Once she can save up the money to fix her car, she'll do what she's been doing for the last several years. Run. Framed for her husbands murder, she can never stop looking over her shoulder. There's always someone on her trail, and she can't let them bring her back to the real killer. Getting to know Josh and Grim makes her dream of the life they could have together. If only she could trust them with her secrets. When their past catches up to them all, they'll find out that even a small town can be big trouble.

I love when authors have so many books that they need to create a new generation! Accidental Bliss is the new generation of the Texas Sirens series. Fourteen years ago Jack, Sam and Abby Barnes-Fleetwood found their happily ever after. Now it’s time for their children to.
Josh and Grim were best friends as children. When Grim was essentially kicked out of his family he found a real home and family within the Barnes-Fleetwoods. Josh and Grim became more than best friends, now living as brothers. However, they weren’t a typical brother pair, they had dreams of finding the woman of their dreams, the same woman.
Nicole has been on the run for 8 years. She has been bouncing from one town to the next. Anywhere she could find to hide and protect herself, never staying in one place too long. But when she lands in Willow Forks she is surprised to find that not everyone is evil.
“And she’d just realized one of her fantasies was to trust someone so much they could take away all of her abilities to protect herself and she would still know that it would be all right.”
Josh and Grim set their sights on Nicole. For the first time Nicole feels loved and not manipulated.
“Grim knew how to ground her and Josh how to make her fly.”
Every Lexi Blake books has a romance, laughs and some sort of murder. I love it every time! I loved the connections to the Colorado Bliss series and all of the Taggarts. Now I just hope Harlow’s story is next!

Loved this story!! This is my first Lexi Blake story and when i received the arc and realized what it was about, I was a little nervous about it. But it was a pleasant surprise and really well written in my opinion.
The relationships between these characters, while unconventional, was done in a sweet, protective, family first, kind of way.
While running from her past, and a bad situation, Nicole finds herself in a small town and catches the eyes of Grim and Josh. She feels a connections and wants to get to know them, but is her past too much to handle?
Grim is a veterinarian who finds a family with his neighbors and best friend when he finally runs away from his hostile home environment at 16 and finds the loving and caring family he had always wanted.
Josh, is learning to be the leader in his family and follow in his fathers footsteps, while also realizing he wants to find a nice girl for him and Grim to settle down with, when he meets Nicole and feels like she may be the one. But he feels she is in trouble and will do anything to help her feel safe and fix her past, and hopes that she wants to stay with them.
“but I think you’ll find it’s freeing once you embrace the idea there’s no shame in loving someone the way they need to be loved, in allowing yourself to be loved the way you need to be.”
“Not that I don’t believe the Lord can work miracles. But I think he also expects us to be sensible enough to use the tools we’ve been given.”

I am as much in love with the second generation as I am with the first of the Texas Sirens. The fact that there it is interconnected with the second generation of the Nights in Bliss Colorado series and I am in heaven. I loved that one of the first stories started off with Jack, Sam, and Abby’s children. The very first book I read from Lexi Blake that was not part of her Masters and Mercenaries series was Small Town Siren. Loved getting to know Josh, Grim, and and Nic. I can’t wait to get to know more about the second generation of all of the characters that make up the series of Texas Sirens, Bliss, Colorado, and Masters and Mercenaries. I have to list them all because I know they will be interconnected. If you have not read any of those series, I highly recommend them although it won’t be necessary, it will make it more enjoyable. I will definitely recommend The Accidental Siren, Texas Sirens:Legacy series, and Lexi Blake as an author. Readers will not be disappointed at all in any of Lexi’s books. I can confidently say that I have never been bored or in anyway been disappointed with any of her books. Happy Reading!

January 16, 2025Stopping at 29%. I actually think this is a great love story, but I can't get into it because of the BDSM. It's pretty crazy that it bugs me, considering I've read over 300 books, and this was the most BDSM I've read. Maybe it's not the BDSM that's bugging me but rather the heroes' obsession with it and finding the right woman that aligns with their kinks. They were so explicit in explaining what they were looking for, and it took the romance out of the book for me. They also had to discuss and explain it, which is fine because the heroine hadn't done it before. But the BDSM was too much of the plot for my liking. Sigh, I'm really into menage romances lately, so it bums me that this didn't work for me!

Accidental Siren by Lexi Blake is the First book in the Texas Sirens: Legacy Series. This is the story of Nicole Mason, Jared “Grim” Burch and Joshua Barnes-Fleetwood. Joshua is seems to have everything but he knows something is out there that he needs. Along with his best friend Grim who has turned his life around wants something more too. Nicole is on the run but her car broke down and until she can bet it fixed she has to stay in Willow Fork, Texas. This is where she meets Grim and Joshua. Enjoyed this hot read.
April 30, 2024
This is the first book in the Texas Sirens: Legacy series and the story is captivating and intense. Be prepared for secrets, betrayal and love and the story of Josh, Jared (Grim), and Nicole unfolds.
The dynamic between them is sweet and hot all at the same time. There is an instant attraction and soon they are all in a Dom/Sub relationship. Nicole is what has been missing when it comes to these two men. I loved how she was protective of Grim, who until he was adopted by Josh’s family, had a rough go. The spice was perfect!
Looking forward to spending more time in Willow Fork, Texas!

This book came around just in time. I was in a funk, just hating everything and was considering doing my comfort read, Small Town Siren. Then this baby shows up on my kindle. Her storytelling is just a hug for me. Not too much, not too little, but just right on everything. Usually in my menage books, I prefer mmf. It makes more sense for me but I just loved Josh and Grim's natural bond. Nicole is just perfection of who I want as my best friend. I loved their story and look forward to seeing more of them. Of course, my favorite is seeing old characters that I love. I love how Blake just intermixes series. I look forward to it. Anywho, don't sit on it. It's the perfect summer escape.

Two Men, One Siren 😉
This was such a great read! It had so much story behind it. There was spice but not an insane amount and it was great to dive into a world with a ton of character building and background. Lexi does a fabulous job of getting the opportunity to love each character while also bringing in snippets of what more is to come from this world. Grim and Josh are the best of both worlds in men and Nic is lucky she gets both. 🤭

This was such an intense emotional story! I love how each of them have completely different backgrounds & personalities, but the immediate intense chemistry and passion was amazing!
I love that they constantly comfort & care for Nic.
I loved how close the family was, and how protective they are of everyone.
This was full of brutal pasts, secrets, tears, compassion, love & family.
The narration was so well done.

Loved this book! Josh (Abigail, Jack & Sam's son) and Grim are looking for their wife and believe they have found her. Nicole has a secret and she lands in town hoping to only spend a short time there while her car is fixed.
This story had everything. Suspense and romance. It was great!

And she does it again, she reboots her old series and makes it fantastic.
Wonderful writing.
And she doesn't miss anything when it comes to the old characters.

Josh and Grim have particular needs, desires, and they've found the woman they want to explore them with. But Nicole's got a secretive nature, and isn't exactly about opening up, or sticking around for longer than it takes to get her car fixed. She's never been able to rely on anyone but herself, but she just might find a whole family with welcoming arms who will help her even without being asked to. And she might find she fits perfectly into Grim and Josh's life together.
I have yet to read a story by Lexi that doesn't have strong, realistic, and lovable characters, and there's no exception here. Nicole, Grim and Josh are amazing characters who form a loving, lasting trio. I think my favorite part of their story, aside from the 3 themselves, is the found family aspect. Josh's family became Grim's family as soon as they took him in so long ago, knowing he was their son, even if not by blood. Grim may have taken a long time to realize that they loved him as they loved Josh, but his growth and realization was another heartfelt, emotional layer of an already well-drawn story. There are cameos by some of the other beloved characters in Lexi's other series, one of whom is a very big part of helping Nicole. This legacy series starts off strong, and I know ones to follow will present equally amazing stories.

What feels like a warm hug, is guaranteed at least a 4 star rating from me, and will get the title of "it's my newest favorite"? If you guessed the latest Lexi Blake book, congrats. It means you know me very well. In all honesty, Lexi Blake's books are my comfort reads, and whenever I need to calm my brain, I pick up one of her books, and I know I'll have a great time reading this book. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that I adored The Accidental Siren.
The spin-off series to Texas Sirens is finally here, and I am absolutely in love. It feels kind of full circle, the way this book starts off the Legacy series. You have Josh, Jared, and Nicole, all with very different backgrounds, and yet so perfect for each other. And you get to see familiar faces, which is always such a delight for me.
Josh's life has been pretty much perfect. His parents, Abby, Sam, and Jack, have tried to give him and his sister the loving and judgement-free childhood they wished they would have had. And they were very supportive of them, so Josh feels like the most easygoing of the three. He also wants what is best for the people he loves, so when he realizes he is in love with Nicole he tries to help her as much as he can, even though he risks her anger because she clearly has things to hide that she doesn't want him to know. But his heart is in the right place, so I understood why he did what he did.
Jared had a rough childhood in comparison. His biological dad died when he was a child, and his stepfather is a very toxic individual, who thinks Jared is evil. Eventually Jared is kicked out of his house and he finds a real home with the Barnes-Fleetwood family, but he can't quite forget what he went through growing up. He reminded me of Jack, in some scenes. He is very similar to Nicole in the sense that they were both hurt, and they both are struggling to trust that this great thing they have going on is going to last. I hated seeing how the people in Willow Fork treated Jared sometimes, especially remembering what Abby went through.
Nicole is on the run, and she's scared to fall in love with these two amazing men she's attracted to. . But she's determined to have something for herself, to make memories that will last her a lifetime, even if they may end up hurting her because she will have to be on the run for the rest of her life. I loved Nicole. She's strong, and she's brave. She married young, and she fell for the "nice guy" image her ex put on, and didn't listen to her instincts when it came to him. So it's no wonder she's guarded and she is thinking about leaving. I loved her strength and that she didn't take any crap from the people in Willow Fork.
Josh, Jared, and Nicole have a great relationship, and even though they face a lot of hard times, they're strong and they love each other enough that they make a very strong team. Pair that with the fact that they have the Barnes-Fleetwood parents to have their back, and you have the recipe for a great start of a new series.
This story had everything I wanted to read about: found family, really good sex scenes, some heartbreaking moments, and some funny scenes as well. We also get to see some very familiar faces. There was one person in particular that took me too long to figure out who they were, but once I realized who they were I was over the moon.
I cannot wait to see whose book will be up next! Until then, I think the time has finally come for a reread of the Texas Sirens series. I hope you guys try out this book, because it is a delight. If you love why choose romances, with a touch of danger, hot sexy scenes, then this book is for you!

3.5 STARS
I love a good spinoff and Lexi's Texas Sirens series is one of my favorite sexy series. So when I saw we're getting new generation spinoff, I was so excited! And boy did this deliver with brand new amazing characters and cameos from some of my older favorites. Plus a surprise few cameos from Lexi's Masters & Mercenaries series.
Nicole is on the run after her abusive husband is killed and she's set up to take the fall. With no one to help her and nothing to her name, she barely stays at one place long enough. But when she lands in the small town of Willow Fork, she finds herself the attention of two handsome men who are determined to make her his.
Josh Barnes-Fleetwood is the town royalty and the center of all gossip with his parent's unconventional relationship. Having the same proclivities of wanting a poly relationship with his best friend/adoptive brother makes him just as infamous as his two fathers. Jared “Grim” Burch is the definition of a tortured hero. Growing up with an abusive, uber religious zealot of a stepfather wasn't easy. And when that step father kicks him out, it's a blessing in disguise because he lands in the loving hands of the Barnes-Fleetwood and quickly taken into the family fold. Josh and Grim are best friends and brothers with the same desire of finding a woman who can accept them both. They're instantly drawn to the town's newbie, Nicole and she's just as drawn to them. They know she's hiding something but they're determined to make her theirs and protect her. Nicole thinks she's committing to just one night, knowing that she can't stay long and put them in danger. But nothing goes to plan when feelings get involved.
While this was a touch too insta love for me, it still hit the spot. I loved the chemistry between these three and I loved how Josh and Grim cared for Nicole. There's a suspense element and I absolutely loved the addition of a cameo here that absolutely made the book for me. I thought I knew how it would end, but it still managed to throw me for a loop and I love when a story can surprise me like this.
This was a sexy little romp with wonderful characters and a a quirky small town that I will never get tired of. I can't wait for the rest of the characters to get their stories!

I don’t care what I call you as long as I get to call you mine.”
I love a good spinoff and Lexi's Texas Sirens series is one of my favorite sexy series. So when I saw we're getting new generation spinoff, I was so excited! And boy did this deliver with brand new amazing characters and cameos from some of my older favorites. Plus a surprise few cameos from Lexi's Masters & Mercenaries series.
Nicole is on the run after her abusive husband is killed and she's set up to take the fall. With no one to help her and nothing to her name, she barely stays at one place long enough. But when she lands in the small town of Willow Fork, she finds herself the attention of two handsome men who are determined to make her his.
Josh Barnes-Fleetwood is the town royalty and the center of all gossip with his parent's unconventional relationship.

I listened to the audio of this book.
This is a standalone story but as I listened I realised there must have been books before this one, and I now know this book is the first book in a new next generation series.
It is also my first Lexi Blake and Sophie Oak book I have never read any stories by them before,I actually did enjoy their writing and the plot to this was really captivating....But it did take me a little bit to get into the book fully and I did get confused with all the characters because there was books before this one that told the parents story...Its was hard for me to keep up with everyone...Plus BDSM is not really my thing,but I do still read books with that storyline.
..But despite that once I found my rhythm with this book I got into it no problem..Josh and Jared/Grim and Nicole/Nora are the main characters and they all have a relationship together..This is not a love triangle.
Josh comes from a stable but unusual family,he has a Mom and two dads their family runs the town but the people in the town don't think highly of them because of the relationships they choose to have.
Josh wants the same relationship as his parents have ,he wants to find a woman who will accept him and Grim and be with them both.
Jared also more known as Grim is Josh's best friend he came from an abusive family..well more of a cult and he escaped that life and Josh's family take him in.
Josh and Grim love one another but not sexually they like to share their woman and are looking for the one who will except their lifestyle.
That woman is waitress Nicole she is new in town and unknowingly to them she is on the run..She is being framed for her abusive husbands murder.
She finds herself stuck in the town of Willow Fork ecause her car needs repairs,and so she has to earn the money to pay for it so works in the Cafe.
This is were she first lays eyes on two cowboys Josh and Grim they are like brothers but not by blood and she has heard the rumours about them and their family.So she needs to stay away from them she doesn't want the attention and she does not like rich entitled people.
But Josh and Grim have Nicole in their sights and they will not give up until they make her theirs for good...But Nicole has a huge secret and she cannot let anyone, especially them know of her past.
Of course Nicole cannot resist Josh and Grim they worship her and control her in the bedroom,and she cannot resist the adoration....Nicole feels loved and they make her feel like she is important and sexually she is exploring kinks and things she never knew she wanted...Yes this is a steamy book were 3 is better than 2..!!
The narration is Fantastic by Kitty Bang,Lance Greenfield and Christian Leatherman..they were AMAZING reading this story and playing the characters out perfectly...telling it from each of their perspectives.I loved listening to them and enjoyed their voices.
There is also a twist to this story I never seen coming,as Nicoles past comes back to haunt her.
I am not sure who the second book will be about but I will definately listen to it.
This is a great listen steamy,romantic and suspenseful this trios journey to their HEA isn't an easy one.
Very entertaining story.
4 and 1/2 Stars.
