A Siren's Call

Rate this book
She’s off-limits. He’s her brother’s best friend. Can she resist A Siren’s Call?

Ava Marino has always been the responsible one, unlike her older brother, Sam, the reckless drummer of Silent Oath. When Sam gets Ava a job with the band on their current tour after she loses her job, he assumes everything will be fine. But Ava’s world shifts the night she meets Cole, the six-foot-four, tattooed lead singer, with a smile that could melt the ice caps, eyes as dark and beautiful as the endless night sky, and a voice so captivating that it leaves her senses reeling.

An irresistible attraction pulls the pair together, but there’s just one problem...

Sam.

Ava’s fiercely protective brother has made it clear; no one is to go near her or the band and their friendship will be over. This band and crew are more than just colleagues; they are a family. To lose Sam, would have a major effect on them all. Would sides be taken? Friendships lost? Careers ruined?

Caught between their growing feelings and the potential fallout, Ava and Cole must do they fight their attraction and hope it fades, or do they risk it all for a taste of what they both so desperately crave?

Well …. I was looking forward to reading this as an arc and I was definitely not disappointed!

Damn this book is smoking hot! Brother’s best friend, close proximity, tension building and lots of secrecy make this a thrilling book to read.

The smut is definitely smutting and a few times found myself panting lol.

The writing was beautiful, and the relationships developed at a good pace and it didn’t take long for me to be hooked on it. I ate this up in 24hours as I couldn’t put it down without knowing how it ended.

I was captivated from start to finish! Highly recommend this title to anyone who enjoys the tropes of brothers best friend and rockstar vibes.

Brilliant, just brilliant!

I am all about the rockstar romances right now.
I loved this one. So cute and ugh the greyhound scene had my heart shattering.

I do not like the brother I find him over the top and kind of bratty, but I did think he had a good redemption at the end.

Petty dislike was how Ava never seemed to stand up
For herself against her brother either. He crossed the line so many times and instead of standing up for herself she cowered away, yet she stood up
To others . That annoyed me but overall I liked this one .

So, so good! Forbidden Romance✔️ Angst✔️ Spice✔️ Found Family✔️ I knew early on, while reading this on KU, that I was going to buy a physical copy of this book. So, it was quickly added to my wishlist. I need a Cole. It was an easy to read that I had difficulty putting down. I experienced so many feels. The love and struggle between friends and between siblings, the tension, you feel it all. I fell in love with the characters. Ava and Cole are delicious together.

Couldn’t put this down once I’d started. The perfect rockstar romance that has you kicking your feet like a giddy school girl, clutching your pearls harder than your nan reading her Mills & Boon books and gripping the pages with sheer tension!

I loved all the relationships in this book from the siblings to the band members. Great scene setting and storyline that I couldn’t get enough of.

Looking forward to book 2!

Loved it!

I have never read of Rockstar Romance before, but I am sold. like, it was so good. I loved the bandmates. The brother, Oh my gosh, I was about ready to punch the brother in the face. But it's okay because it all worked out in the end. Yeah, just a hundred percent five-star read. I'm so glad that I got to read this, and I look forward to the next one.

Not sure if I my review can do it justice.
This book kept me on edge. Made me feel every emotions the MCs felt.

The trope:
Forbidden love with her brother’s best friend
And let me tell you something: they stressed me out. The close proximity was really small and I think I was panicking about them being caught more than themselves.

The tension was there
The breakup broke me
The love gave me butterflies

This book is in my top romance book & deserves way more hype!!

I absolutely loved this book! I havnt read a rockstar romance because and it was so good. Cole was dreamy and Ava was great. I felt all the emotions, the swoon, the giddy giggly feeling and the sad feeling on the 3rd act breakup. The found family is wonderful and I can't wait to read about the rest of the band. The conflict was done so well and ahhhh I just loved it.

A Must Read!!!!

Well, I feel like I just got off a rollercoaster! What a book!
Cole Spencer, this man 🙌🏻 🌶️🥵 I would never say “Mercy” 😏 IYKYK

✅Brother’s Best Friend
✅ Rockstar Romance
✅ Forbidden Romance
✅ Forced Proximity
✅ Mutual Pining
✅ Light Kink

A few things I thought about when reading this book:
“She did WHAT with her panties?!” - Interesting use and DEFINITELY got his attention.
“The guitar lesson” - Swooooooon
“When he thinks he’s dreaming..” - Honestly girl, I’d have enjoyed every second of that.

I’m nothing if not honest in my reviews, and I’ll be honest in saying it did take me a couple of chapters to get into it, but once they got on that tour bus I was ALL IN! The pining, the secrecy, the spice? It was spicing let me tell you *chefs kiss*

There were a couple of points in the book where I didn’t like the FMCs behaviour, it felt quite juvenile, but I think she started to mostly outgrow that as she came into herself and grew as a person, this is the main reason I rated 4 stars, but actually it’s more 4.5.
The MMC, not a single bad word to say about him, not a one.

I love how CM Harte has told this story, the main characters love was beautiful and easy, like reading the most natural thing in the world.

Overall I LOVED this book, and to anyone reading my 2pence worth, don’t hesitate, go read it!

Some notable quotes, just incase my words don’t convince you:

“If there’s a God, Ava, then he sent you to test me,” he murmurs into my hot flesh.

“I could write an entire record about your beauty and still never feel like I found the right words to describe you the way I see you.”

“You feel incredible. You taste incredible. And you take me so fucking well.”

“You asked me the sort of games I like playing, Ava. This is just a taste. But say the word and everything stops. That’s what a safe word is for. You’re in control of this.” His mouth comes down to my neck to plant a soft kiss as he murmurs into my pebbled skin. “You have all the power over me.”

Wow…..

I loved this book! I loved literally everything about this book!!!
We start with Ava, who gets fired from her job ( more on this is/ reasons are in the book), and ends up on tour with her brother Sam and his band, Silent Oath. This is where she meets Cole, the lead singer and is instantly attracted to him. But there’s a problem…. Sam has made the band members and the crew aware that they are not to touch his little sister.

Can Ava and Cole stay away from each other and heed Sam’s warning?
Or will their need for each other ruin everything?


A Sirens Call gave me all the feels and has some of my favourite tropes in it…

Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Forced proximity
Forbidden romance
Found family
A few moments of touch her and 💀!

😩😩. I did not want it to end!!!!!
I am very excited to hear more about the other band members in the series… especially Theo and Paddy. I loved those guys.
This was my first rockstar romance, and I unequivocally, irrevocably fell in love with A Sirens Call.
Read this book…. I assure you, you will be not be disappointed.

Absolutely obsessed—this book had me binging it in 48Hours.

A Siren’s Call by C.M. Harte completely stole my soul in the best way. I fell head over heels for both the MMC and FMC—seriously, the chemistry between them is everything. They’re so well-written and layered, and watching their relationship evolve had me grinning one second and clutching my chest the next.

But it’s not just them—the whole band and the found-family vibe of the group? Perfection. I loved every interaction, the banter, the loyalty, the emotional support (and chaos) they all bring. Her brother especially brought such depth to the story, and their sibling bond added so much warmth and complexity.

The worldbuilding is lush and immersive, the writing is beautiful without being too heavy, and the emotional moments hit hard. It’s the kind of book you finish and immediately want to shove into a friend’s hands so they can feel everything you just did.

If you love fantasy, romance, a killer group dynamic, and characters who feel real, don’t miss this one. I already want to read more of these characters.

A Siren's Call

This was my first rockstar romance and it did not disappoint!!

A Siren's Call follows Ava, a intelligent, strong willed FMC whose life gets turned upside down when she looses her job and takes up her older brothers offer to join him and the rest of Silent Oath on the road. Ava has always been the responsible one compared to Sammy, her jokester brother and the drummer for Silent Oath. That is until she meets the six-foot-four, tattooed, sexy, lead singer Cole. The magnetism is instant but will Sammy's warnings keep them apart or will love conquer all? Well buy the book and you will find out 😉🥵

This book has love, heartache, suspense, spice and drama! Once you pick it up, you won't be able to put it down! So go get it and enjoyyy!!

5 STARS, GOD TIER READ!!!

This book hit the spot! Ava and Cole are perfection, I'm not normally a rockstar romance girlie but C.M you have converted me! Brothers Best Friend is always going to slap, add on the fact he is the lead singer in the band your brother is also in, just makes it even jucier. Won't lie Sammy is a dick, and I don't like how he reacted when he found out about Cole and Ava I wanted to slap him silly, and I am still yet to forgive him. I had started this a a buddy read with a group of friends, next thing I knew was I had finished the book before anyone else had even started it XD, I only put it down because I had to go to work the next day. 100% recommend this book to EVERYONE! Drop what you are doing and go read this book now!
Signing up for book 2's ARC as soon as sign ups open!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ 4/5

This one had me hooked from the start! 🧜‍♀️✨ A Siren’s Call by C.M. Harte delivered the perfect mix of tension, emotion, and romance, and I couldn’t stop turning the pages.

The chemistry between the characters was so easy to root for, and there were plenty of moments that had me completely invested in what was going to happen next. I loved the atmosphere and the way the story pulled me in.

The only reason this isn’t a full five stars is that I found the pacing slowed a little in places, and I wanted a bit more from a couple of plot points. Even so, it was such an enjoyable read, and I finished it wanting more.

If you love emotional romance, great character chemistry, and stories that keep you reading “just one more chapter,” definitely add this one to your TBR! 📚💙

After reading Book 2 first as an ARC read, I had to read this book as well.
I demolished it in one go!

The relationships, believable.
The band dynamics, believable.
The spice, believable.
The tension... unbelievable!
I was on edge through most of the book, knowing what was coming but not knowing when. The suspense kept me invested through the whole book.

I adore these characters, and I want to hang out with them. C.M Harte knows metalheads for what they are: down-to-earth, selfless and loyal to a fault in all the best ways.

My only grievance with this book is that Silent Oath are not a real band. I would be right there in the pit going crazy if they were!

Bring on book 3!

I absolutely loved reading this book, gives you all the feels. Felt my heart swell and break at points. The sibling relationship between Ava and Sammy was hilarious at time and how after everything they are still so close was great. Reading about Cole was 🥵 he was delicious but so deep, how he learned to open up and believe he deserves the love he has was so heartwarming. Ava finding her own confidence as this book was brilliant. I cried with her more than once but good tears. Highly recommend reading

Mercy? Hell no!

This book had me on an emotional rollercoaster from the minute Cole & Ava locked eyes on each other!

The spice? It’s spicing!
The emotion? My poor heart!
The humour? So funny!

The sibling bond between Ava & Sammy, as well as the boys, is actually really sweet. I definitely loved every one of the character dynamics, even the supporting ones. None of the characters were there for the sake of it, I feel like they all had a role in the storyline. Extremely well written & definitely worth a read!

What can I say except this is one you NEED TO READ! It has everything you need, sibling banter, spice, romance, angst and so much more! I couldn’t put it down and was completely immersed in the book, it’s so well written that I felt like I was standing and watching it all unfold in front of me! I love that I could visualize the whole story!

Make sure you grab yours and prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions.

This book is phenomenal. The writing is beautiful, the story gripping, and the characters so vivid you feel an instant connection. Cole, the MMC, is magnetic and mysterious; you fall for him the moment he steps onto the page. The tension, the slow burn, the forced proximity, and the forbidden edge are absolutely delicious, making you ache in the best way. It’s the kind of romance you devour in one sitting (yes, it’s that good), and the ending leaves you glowing with happiness.

A Siren’s Call — C.M. Harte
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely loved this book. It completely hooked me, and I ended up reading the whole thing in just 24 hours. The forbidden romance and brother’s bandmate dynamic had me invested from the very beginning. Following Ava as she joins the tour made the story so much fun, and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. I truly adored this one and didn’t want it to end

I absolutely loved this book. Could not put it down till I finished. Absolutely adored Ava and Cole but Sam is my spirit animal. This story made me feel everything from their ups and downs to the individual characters and how they are expressed in the story. I will be getting a physical copy for my shelves. I recommend this book to everyone!

I started reading this book as majority of my book friends were saying it was great.... They were right.
If you love romance with spicy content with a Rockstars theme, this is for you.
Ava is a very well contructed character with a brother relation with Sammy that participates in a rockband. Cole is the singer and of course the one who will steal heart and the rest is spoiler.
