Texas Sirens: Legacy #3
The Temporary Siren
Olivia Barnes-Fleetwood has watched her brothers fall in love and get married. Watched her friends do the same, but it hasn’t happened for her. She’s got a great job and loves her family. She has a bright future and is surrounded by love. But there’s something missing. On the night of her brothers’ wedding, Olivia meets two men and decides to have one wild night before she goes back to her responsibilities.
Garrett Pace is a man who knows what he wants, and what he wants right now is the gorgeous redhead at the wedding he’s attending. She’s perfect, and he’s earned this. His life has been difficult, but he fought his way through it with hard work. With his law degree behind him, he’s an attorney for an organic cattle ranch collective. He enjoys his job and it keeps him close to his best friend. They’ve been living on Aidan O’Malley’s ranch, and seeing the way the man handles his wife and his partner is making Garrett think. It’s the kind of relationship he wants for himself, and that redhead is looking like a good place to start.
Keane Rollins was lucky to survive his childhood, and he knows it. He’s found some peace as O’Malley’s foreman and wants to live a quiet life. That said, he must admit that Garrett is right about one thing. There’s something missing and it’s a woman. They’ve been friends since childhood and the idea of having a relationship that doesn’t include Garrett seems impossible. When a beautiful, mysterious woman offers them a night together with her, he leaps at the chance.
What started as a wild, no-strings-attached night turns into an awkward morning when they realize Olivia is the woman they’re supposed to spend the next month working with. Garrett and Keane are thrilled at the opportunity to be with her, but Olivia is determined not to give into temptation again.

4.5 stars
I adored this book. This is about my 11th book by Lexi Blake (this one being her alter ego Sophie Oak) and I think this may be my second favorite just behind Big Tag’s book, Love and Let Die. We are in the next gen era, book 3 of the Legacy series, with the daughter, Olivia, from the offspring from Small Town Siren, book 1 of the Texas Sirens series.
Olivia, Keane and Garrett have a one-night stand after meeting at a wedding. The men, who’ve been best friends since their foster home years, want more but Olivia’s only looking for having a bit of fun. Soon they find out they have to work together with her, so they are determined to change her mind. In all things Lexi Blake, this book is steamy. Yet, what I really loved about this is the journey that all three go through on their way to an HEA. Keane is the stoic broody one with dark secrets, who wants to be Master to both. Olivia is independent and doesn’t want to settle for anything other than the real deal like her parents have. And Garrett is the lawyer who sees Olivia as the missing piece to Keane and his future. Blake weaves a complex story as the three of them start weaving themselves into each other’s lives. Walls are torn down and hearts become vulnerable. It's so beautiful how tender these three are towards each other as they each open up. But just as they realize what they mean to each other someone’s out to get one of them and all their lives are in jeopardy. The Temporary Siren is a heartfelt, page-turning read with a story and characters I won't be forgetting anytime soon.

Olivia sees love and commitment all around her lately, but she's despairing it will ever happen for her. She gives herself one night to let loose, have fun, then walks away the next morning. Then she walks into the plane and hears the men from that night talking trash about her, albeit unknowing she's who they're disparaging. Not a good start for their working, and more, relationship.
Garrett and Keane are best friends who have survived the unimaginable together, especially Keane. They spend one night with a beautiful, fiery redhead and realize they want a lot more, with her, with each other. But their words the next morning have made things very difficult. Now it's up to Master Keane to rein in his subs, and for them to prove to him that he's not just worthy of their submission, but of their love.
This trio worked, overtime, for their happiness. It took a lot - of support, of compassion, and of course, love. Keane especially, had a lot of pain inside, and it made him more than a little hesitant to open up to anyone, even his best friend. I love how Olivia stood by him, in her own feisty, but very loyal and loving way, and finally got through to him, while Garrett was working behind the scenes to secure everything. Olivia's parents offer support (well, mom does), and not just to her, and Olivia stands up in kickass fashion, for her men when one of them misunderstands in a big way. No one does menages quite like Lexi - her trios have the chemistry, the suspense, and most importantly, heart.

When the OG thrupple has a child, you best believe I'm going to love her. And Olivia brings all the energy that Jack Barnes is known for. This is a woman that takes zero sh*t and I loved her immediately.
After a couple of epically failed relationships, Olivia Barnes-Fleetwood has given up hope that she'll ever find the kind of love her mom found with her dads. And if you haven't met them yet, definitely read Small Town Siren.
Garrett and Keane have been best friends their whole life and after getting into town for their new job, meet a gorgeous redhead at a bar. Little do they know that the one night stand is also the daughter of their new boss. Talk about awkward. They both want more, though Keane doesn't feel like he deserves it. The dynamic between these three was intriguing to say the least, most of which is also the brewing tension between Keane and Garrett.
This was a fun and steamy romp with plenty of emotion that was interwoven to add just the right amount of angst. You get Keane's complicated and dark past, which my heart broke for him when the entire story was out. I also loved the way that Olivia fought for him even when he did his best to push her away for her own good,
My only quibble is that I wish that the relationship between Garrett and Keane was more fleshed out. It felt like we had this slow burn between them only to really just graze the surface of it, which felt a little disappointing. But all in all, I still thoroughly enjoyed this one and can't wait for more in the series!

She was the one. They both knew it. They just had to figure out a way to convince her.

She shrugged. “That’s what happens when you are known for making grown men cry. Don’t worry. They won’t stay gone long. You’ll get the chance to kiss my dad’s ass.”
“That was rude.”
She shrugged again. It seemed to be her go-to move when it came to him. “I tend to give back the same energy I get, Counselor.”

❤️🔥 Sometimes One Perfect Man Isn't Enough 🔥❤️
⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Olivia Barnes-Fleetwood has spent years believing the kind of love her parents found was something she'd never experience herself. One spontaneous night at her brothers' wedding changes everything when she shares an unforgettable evening with two strangers. She never expects to discover those same men are about to become part of her everyday life, making it impossible to pretend their connection was only temporary.
I really enjoyed returning to the Texas Sirens world. As someone who has loved the Barnes-Fleetwood family from the beginning, finally getting Olivia's story felt like coming full circle. Lexi Blake does such a wonderful job blending romance, suspense, family, and emotion while making every generation feel connected without overshadowing the new characters.
Olivia was exactly the heroine I hoped she would be. She's intelligent, confident, and fiercely independent, refusing to let anyone underestimate her because of her family's reputation. While she's submissive in the bedroom, outside of it she's more than capable of standing her ground, and I loved watching her challenge Garrett and Keane whenever they made assumptions about her. She carried so much emotional weight after years of believing she would never find the kind of relationship her parents shared, making her journey toward trusting love incredibly rewarding.
Garrett and Keane complemented each other beautifully. Garrett was polished, thoughtful, and quietly confident, while Keane brought a rougher, protective cowboy charm that balanced their relationship perfectly. Their lifelong friendship made every interaction feel natural, and I loved how neither man ever made Olivia feel like she had to choose between them. Instead, they worked together to give her the love, support, and security she'd spent years believing wasn't meant for her.
The suspense added another layer that kept the story moving. As someone begins targeting Olivia, the danger steadily builds through threats, sabotage, and escalating attacks that place all three of them in increasingly difficult situations. While the romance remained the heart of the story, the mystery added enough tension to keep me invested from beginning to end.
One of my favorite parts was catching up with the Barnes-Fleetwood family and seeing familiar faces throughout the story. The cameos, family dynamics, and connection to the original Texas Sirens series added so much nostalgia while still allowing Olivia, Garrett, and Keane to shine on their own. It truly felt like coming home.
If you enjoy emotionally driven romance, protective heroes, found family, forced proximity, suspense, and beautifully developed M/F/M relationships, The Temporary Siren is another wonderful addition to the Texas Sirens Legacy series.
Thank you to Lexi Blake and Valentine PR for the gifted advanced copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

4.5stars-- THE TEMPORARY SIREN is the third instalment in Lexi Blake’s contemporary, adult TEXAS SIRENS: LEGACY erotic, Dom/sub, romantic suspense series, a next generation spin off, set in the author’s TEXAS SIRENS series, which in turn is part of the larger McKay-Taggart worlds..This is thirty year old, Olivia Barnes-Fleetwood, daughter of Jack Barnes, Sam Fleetwood and their wife Abigail aka Abby, attorney Garrett Pace, and ranch foreman Keane Rollins’ story line. THE TEMPORARY SIREN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives including Olivia, Keane and Garrett THE TEMPORARY SIREN follows in the wake of a one-night stand. Olivia needed a release, and her brother’s wedding celebration was the perfect venue to find two Doms that would relieve Olivia of her stress and anxiety. Enter Master G and Master K, the two men with whom Olivia would fall in love but not before ghosting the men following a one-night stand.LIfe was about to become more complicated when Olivia discovers her father’s new hires are none other than her one-night stands, two men who are willing to die to call her their own.

The world building follows several intersecting pathways including the search for the people taking aim at Olivia Barnes-Fleetwood. Lives are threatened, and the fall-out is about to spiral throwing Keane and Garrett to the proverbial wolves, as their backstories and history become fodder for law enforcement and over protective family.
The relationship between Olivia, and Keane and Garrett begins as a one-night stand. Olivia was lonely, having watched family and friends move on with their lives, and Master K and Master G willing and able to give Olivia her much needed release. As Keane and Garrett begin to fall for our story line heroine, a personal vendetta takes aim at Olivia, taking Keane and Garrett down in the process. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate .
There is a large ensemble cast of familiar, energetic and determined secondary and supporting characters from the author’s interconnected series and spinoffs.

The Barnes-Fleetwood dynasty continues in The Temporary Siren and I loved Olivia with her two Doms.❤️
Garrett and Keane are best friends, Doms, infatuated with the same woman, but also opposites in a lot of ways. Garrett is a lawyer and Keane is a rancher foreman...the polished man and the rough and tumble cowboy. Best of both worlds. 😏🥰 and I'm just going to say....damn, I wanted to be Olivia cause being with these two...hot!!!!❤️🔥
Olivia Barnes-Fleetwood, well, I've been waiting for her story for a long time 🥰 and it did not disappoint. As a young girl, Olivia was a total spitfire. As a young woman, not much has changed, but she’s no longer kicking men in the shins when they anger her, or her friends, or her family 😂 AND I kicked with glee when she handed Garrett and Keane their assumptions and nepo comments right back without batting an eyelash. Olivia, may be submissive in the bedroom, but outside of it, she's a force when it comes to handling men with large egos, she just doesn't kick them in the shins like she did as a child. 😏
Her parents are the original Texas Sirens throuple; Jack Barnes, Sam Fleetwood, and Abby Barnes-Fleetwood, a ménage that set the standards, as far as I'm concerned. They taught me what it meant to be a top, a switch, and a sub. Jack, Sam, and Abby were my gateway characters to this amazing world and I've never looked back since. So, I loved every single second of stepping into Olivia's world with her men. She's every bit of her parents and Garrett and Keane are the perfect men for her.❤️
The Temporary Siren is reminiscent of the past, but it's also uniquely original. Olivia is finally ready to let go of her past and move on, basically as a cat lady, since she believes there is no perfect man for her. Little did she know that it wasn't one man she needed, but two. Just like her parents.😏
Garrett and Keane were only looking for a fun night, never realizing they'd have such chemistry with their one night stand. After one taste, they are hooked and they will do anything to keep the redhead who is only looking for temporary. They never thought that their hookup would end up being the woman they'd have to work with day after day, but they also realize it makes it that much easier to convince her to be their's with she's right at their fingertips.
This entire legacy is masterly crafted and I feel so lucky to be a part of reading this book. I loved delving back into the Barnes-Fleetwood dynasty and moving forward into the future of this world with the next generation. Nostalgia has a beautiful way of doing both and Lexi has the perfect style of writing to make it happen.

Olivia Barnes‑Fleetwood has spent her whole life being judged for the family she comes from and the lifestyle they openly embrace. She’s strong, beautiful, and fiercely loyal, but years of bullying, heartbreak, and disappointment have convinced her that the kind of love her parents share simply isn’t meant for her. At her brothers’ wedding, she finally lets herself act on a long‑buried desire—one wild, anonymous night with two strangers, no names and no strings.
Garret Pace and Keanan Rollins are anything but strangers to her world. Best friends who grew up in foster care, they’re both starting new jobs connected to Olivia’s family—Garret as a lawyer for Barnes‑Fleetwood, and Keanan stepping into a ranch role left open by her brother. Neither expected their unforgettable night to collide with real life, but fate clearly has other plans.
Forced proximity hits hard when Olivia boards the private plane home and finds her two mystery men waiting for her. A slip of the tongue from Keanan sparks tension, and when Olivia’s ex shows up at the airport, she grabs Garret and Keanan and claims them as her boyfriends. From there, the three of them are thrown together in every possible way—professionally, personally, and intimately.
The chemistry is scorching, the dynamic deliciously balanced. Garret is smart, steady, and a switch who knows exactly how to read Olivia. Keanan is rough‑edged, protective, and convinced he isn’t good enough because of his past. Together, they complement Olivia perfectly, giving her the kind of connection she never believed she could have.
But their growing relationship is threatened when someone targets Olivia—slashed tyres, a fire at her office, and a terrifying attempt to drug and kidnap her. Keanan’s history makes him an easy target for blame, but Garret and Keanan refuse to let anything come between them and the woman they’re falling for. When Olivia is kidnapped for real, the men will stop at nothing to bring her home.
This story blends forced proximity, M/F/M ménage, emotional healing, and mystery into a fast‑paced, addictive read. The heat is off the charts, the suspense keeps you hooked, and the family dynamics (including a cameo from Big Tag, which I loved) add depth and humour. Olivia’s journey—from doubt and heartbreak to trust, passion, and real love—is captivating from start to finish.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC, and this is my honest opinion.

Sexy, emotional, suspenseful
Lexi Blake's THE TEMPORARY SIREN is another fabulous addition to the Texas Sirens: Legacy series. This why choose, one night stand, small town romance was emotional, humourous, spicy and suspenseful. I devoured it easily as the characters awere relatable and the plot was entertaining and gripping.
Olivia Barnes-Fleetwood wanted to find the kind of love her parents had, but finding it wasn't easy. While attending her brothers wedding and with some encouragement from her BBF Bobby, she meets Garrett Pace and Keane Rolins. Olivia knows that there will be two new men working at the family ranch, she just doesn't know that Garret and Keane are those men. A steamy night with no names or committment is shared by the three of them. There is a connection made, it's meant to be temporary, could it be more?
I adored watching the evolution of this relationship. The two men were completely smitten with Olivia and she was also affected. What will happen when they find out each other's identities? I loved that Garret and Keane would do anything to win Olivia's heart. Even though she was wary, knowing their time together was limited, Olivia could see that it was possible their's was the love she had been searching for. They balanced each other perfectly, each offering something different to what they were building. My heart sighed at the growth of Garret and Keane's relationship, they were just so special. Keane had a secret though, one which he thought would destroy Olivia's opinion of him. Would It?
Not only is THE TEMPORARY SIREN a story of finding love, it also has mystery and suspense built in. Olivia has become the target of someone unknown. Why? Is it a money grabbing ex or a disgruntled client? Only time will tell. Previous characters return as well as new one introduced. I loved seeing Jack Barnes-Fleetwood in alpha dad mode, he provided me with some wonderful laugh out loud moments. Gigi and Miranda, Olivia's besties, were hilarious. I really do hope that Gigi gives Gabe a chance. Big Tag's cameo was perfect ... that man's ego will never shrink!!
A wonderful, exhilirating story which slots neatly into the Texas Siren World and is not to be missed.

I am so happy that Olivia gets her own story. This was gripping and kept me entertained from start to finish. If you are not familiar with all of Lexi’s previous characters then the name dropping be confusing. With the next generation series I do tend to find myself trying to work out who is related to who! So many great characters and always with that sense of found family.
While at her brother’s wedding Olivia gives in to the attraction she feels to two men who are in attendance. She feels and is persuade by one of her best friends that this is something she needs to do. After having the best night of her life she walks onto a plane only to find the two men sitting there.
Garrett and Keane have been best friends since childhood and they do everything together including women. While attending a wedding of their employer, a beautiful woman attracts their attention. After a night they will never forget, they are on a mission to find out who she is as one night was not enough, she is the woman to complete them. They are shocked when she walks into the plane, one snag being she is their bosses daughter.
As all three navigate their feelings for each other and how things can work there are people out to get Olvia. When the threats from slashed car tyres, to a fire and then a kidnapping, they all realise things are more serious than they thought.
This book doesn’t rely heavily on the BDSM that the other books can. This focuses more on the characters and their value of self-worth. I love how the dynamics work and the alpha male in the dom and switch. Keane and Garrett play these roles well and Olivia comes to realise she can have what her parents have. I like Jack and Olivia’s relationship, how she can make him back down with a simple stare!
This is a why chose romance and hits on child and sexual assault but this is in the boys past and comes with consequences. This is a great addition to the Texas Sirens: Legacy series and there is even a cameo from Big Tag! Loved it. Keep writing Lexi!

Thank you to Valentine PR and Lexi Blake, writing as Sophie Oak, for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
The Temporary Siren was such a fun start. Livie decides to throw caution to the wind for one unforgettable night with two gorgeous strangers she meets at a wedding, only to find out Garrett and Keane are the same men coming to work on her family's ranch the very next day. Talk about awkward... and amazing. Garrett and Keane have been searching for the woman to complete their relationship, and they know almost immediately they've found her.
These boys were absolutely gone for Livie from the moment they met her, and honestly I was too. Watching Livie open herself up to the idea of a real relationship, especially one that reflected the unconventional family she grew up in, was really sweet. Garrett and Keane were so protective when trouble started closing in around the ranch, and I loved seeing the relationship grow between all three of them. Garrett embracing his switch side was a fun dynamic, and their first kiss had me swooning.
"Garrett was utterly fascinated by this woman and he felt like he was lying to her because he had zero intention of letting this last one night. He already wanted more. She was the one. It was stupid and way too soon, and he knew he was being ridiculous, but he also knew that this woman lying between him and Keane was the one."
The only thing that held this back for me was the pacing in the second half. I flew through the beginning, but once more characters and storylines were introduced, it became a little harder to keep everyone straight and the story started to drag a bit before the ending.
Overall, this was a solid read with fun relationship dynamics, protective heroes, plenty of ménage heat, and just enough mystery to keep things interesting.
Perfect for readers who enjoy BDSM Dom/sub dynamics, found family, established ménage couples, and a little mystery mixed into their romance.

Olivia, Keane, and Garrett's story is a nameless one night stand to oops, we have to work (and live!) together to...well, we all know where this is going book with a side helping of suspense and a whole lot of connection to Ms Blake/Oak's other books--and I was here for it!
(Though there's a little part of my brain that will forever feel it's awfully convenient that there's so many people for whom MMF threesomes are *exactly* what they need to be complete...and they all know and live relatively close to each other, they're still so much fun to read)
I enjoyed the relationship dynamic between the three--on the surface it seems like their trio shouldn't work, but as we learn more about them and their backgrounds it becomes clear that they are exactly what each other needs going forward.
Just a warning, though--if you're completely new to the author's books, you're probably going to get a bit overwhelmed with all the side characters and mentions of past events here, especially in the second half. There's a lot of overlap between the Sirens, Bliss, and Masters & Mercenaries books, which I assume is related to why the author is using her "Lexi Blake" pseudonym on the Texas Sirens: Legacy books, to reinforce the connections. But for newbies, it's a little head spinning!
Now don't mind me, I'll just be here patiently waiting for Gage and Gigi's book...

Olivia Barnes-Fleetwood has loved her best friend since she was eight years old, she kept hoping that he would love her back, but that love eventually became brotherly love. They are still best friends, and on the night her brothers get married, she decides she needs a night for herself.
Garrett Pace and Keanan Rollins are best friends and grew up in foster care. They are working for her family as an attorney and ranch foreman. After their night with Olivia, she leaves before they wake up thinking they will never see her again. To their surprise she is the one they are going to be working with. They both stick their foot in their mouth and have to work to get her on their side.
When they get to Texas, her ex is waiting on her, and a bunch of things happen that aren’t a coincidence. Someone has a grudge against Olivia. When Olivia is drugged and almost kidnapped, Keanan is blamed because of his past, but she is fierce and brings them all together.
Olivia is strong, independent, isn’t afraid to work hard, and wants what her parents have. She doesn’t think she will ever find love until she meets Garrett and Keanan. Garrett is smart and does what he has to for those that he loves. Keanan is a good man and doesn’t believe he is good enough because of his past. These three complement each other and they bring out the best in one another. I loved how protective Jack is of his little girl; he just has a tendency to overreact a tad. But like Olivia he has someone he loves to level him out. This was such a good read, with great characters, and a little suspense added in. I also loved seeing Ian. I cannot wait to see who is next in this series, although I think I have an idea.

The Temporary Siren is a story about three people finding love, healing, and a place where they truly belong. Olivia, Garrett, and Keane each bring their own emotional baggage into the relationship, and watching them learn to trust one another was my favorite part of the book.
Keane especially captured my heart. The poor man could not catch a break, and knowing his incarceration came from trying to save a young girl made me root for him even more. Garrett's unwavering loyalty and Olivia's compassion created a relationship that felt genuine, and I loved watching all three characters grow individually and together. Their relationship wasn't built overnight, and that's what made it so satisfying. They had to work for it and when you do that, it is just that much more satisfying when they succeed.
Another highlight for me was the suspense woven throughout the story. Once it kicked in, I was suspicious of just about everyone. It added another layer to the romance and kept me turning the pages because I needed to know how it was all going to play out.
I appreciated how openly Olivia's family embraced the poly lifestyle. There was no tiptoeing around it or making it taboo, it was simply their normal. I thought that added an interesting dynamic and allowed the focus to stay on the relationships themselves instead of trying to justify them.
Now...was every part of this book a perfect fit for me? No, but it doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the book. Some of the wording pulled me out of the story at times, and let's just say these characters definitely didn't believe in keeping things behind closed doors. The spice level was a little more than I personally gravitate toward, but that's completely subjective and didn't take away from how much I cared about these characters.
I genuinely enjoyed Olivia, Garrett, and Keane's journey....and by the end, I was all in on their happily ever after.

3.5-3.75 stars. This was a pretty good read. The Temporary Siren is book three in the Texas Sirens Legacy series. This is Olivia, Garrett and Keane's book. Olivia is the daughter of the Barnes-Fleetwood trio, and works helping run their ranch. She meets Garrett and Keane at her brother's wedding, decides to have a wild night with them and then go back to reality the next day. But, the men think they've finally met their match and forever woman they have been hoping for. After Olivia does a runner the next morning, they all meet again when she finds out Garrett is her family's lawyer in a lawsuit they are facing and Keane is the temporary foreman of their ranch while her brother is on his honeymoon. The men aren't letting her get away from them that easily. Their story is sexy, emotional and suspenseful.
I liked this trio together a lot. The story is very good. I enjoyed the suspense and the pacing. The only aspect I didn't love is that one of the men is a switch and I don't love reading about male subs, but that is my personal reading taste only. Still, I enjoyed revisiting the Texas Sirens world. I’ve been following the Barnes-Fleetwood family from the beginning, so getting Olivia’s story was something I’d been looking forward to. Lexi Blake does such a great job mixing romance, suspense, humor, family drama, and emotion. I also love how the older characters are still part of the story without taking away from the new generation. It just makes the whole series feel connected. There are so many new characters with potential for their own books that I look forward to learning more about, as well. I look forward to more from Ms. Blake in the future!

5 Doing the Right Thing Stars!
I’ve been reading Lexi Blake since she started writing and the world she’s built around the McKay – Taggert families is one of my all-time favorites. This third book in this second generation series gives us Olivia Barnes-Fleetwood, Garrett Pace and Keane Rollins. Olivia grew up in the ménage world given who her parents are and she’s always longed for a relationship like theirs. However, there’s always been something missing when she’s gone on dates. So to relieve some of her pent up desires, so on the night of her brother’s wedding she decides to take matters into her own hands and has one incredible night with Garrett and Keane thinking it’s a one and done night. Little does she know, both of these men are convinced she’s their missing piece.
I loved how this story is developed and the awkward but required time the three of them have to spend together. It just means Garrett and Keane have a chance to work their magic on Olivia… I loved their determination because it’s clear these two will do whatever it takes. There are moments of emotional vulnerability that change each of them in their own distinctive ways. Allowing all three of them to see who they really are on the inside not just what’s put out for the public to see.
One of the things I love about this entire world that Ms. Blake has built is the romantic suspense elements in each book. It’s never an overreach and always has me on the edge of my seat thanks to villains having a mentality that they’ll get what they need no matter what the consequences are. With this book, both Garrett and Keane will do anything needed to protect Olivia and themselves. One of them actually takes the lead and the tension filled moments as it all comes to a head had my heart racing. I’m certainly not going to give too much away, so let’s just say be prepared because this book takes us on both an emotional and physical journey. It’s the perfect addition to this series.

At Olivia's brothers' wedding reception, she is reflecting on her acceptance that the guy she's loved since she was 8 is not meant to be in a relationship with her. And she is leery of starting a new relationship given her past record. With the help of her girlfriends, she decides to throw caution to the wind and have a fun one night stand with a couple of strangers.
But fate has other plans as the two guys show up on the company plane the next day. And then when they return to Willow Fork, she needs them to "pretend" to be in a relationship with her.
I loved how their relationship progressed through the dangerous situations Olivia found herself in and how protective both Garrett and Keane were. The path to them accepting their fate together was not a smooth one. Garrett and Keane both have demons from their past that still influence their current lives. And Olivia doesn't want to disappoint her parents with another failed relationship.
While there are a lot of characters throughout the story, I can't imagine any that could have been eliminated and they add to the richness of the storyline. It is always great when Big Tag makes an appearance and if you know his character, you can't help but chuckle before he actually shows up. There were surprising twists along the way to Olivia, Keane, and Garrett getting their HEA.

Texas Sirens Legacy Returns…
And this is a fun one for sure! The Barnes-Fleetwood family is one of my favorites, Dad and Papa are quite the fun balance, but now getting to experience Olivia’s story is just as fun or better! Olivia is bratty, sassy but also carrying some baggage from her failed relationships. She is more withdrawn and unsure of herself in some ways than others, but it’s ok, between her friends, family, and the new men in her life, she will find her way back to herself, though she fights the journey at first. Keane and Garrett haven’t had easy lives, especially Keane. They have relied on one another since childhood and after a night with Olivia they realize she may be what they need to complete their lives. They enjoy the jobs they have, connected to the Barnes-Fleetwood family, but didn’t realize who Olivia was, until boarding a plane to Willow Fork, so they have decisions to make. This story has it all, family, laughs, passion, suspense and some danger. An appearance from old favorites as well as getting to know some of the next generation characters make this story a fantastic mix of old and new. Seeing Olivia, Garrett and Keane discover more about themselves and grow, individually and together as partners makes this one of my favorites books in the series so far!

4.5/5
Thank you to Lexi Blake and Valentine PR for the opportunity to read and review an ARC of The Temporary Siren!
I went into The Temporary Siren expecting an MFM romance, but I wasn't expecting to become so invested in Olivia, Garrett, and Keane.
Watching three people with very different pasts learn to trust, heal, and build a future together is what made this story stand out for me. The emotional healing, romantic suspense, and unforgettable characters kept me turning the pages.
Garrett completely stole my heart with his golden retriever personality, unwavering devotion, and emotional growth. Keane surprised me with the depth of his character, and Olivia's journey toward trusting again felt authentic and heartfelt. I also loved Miranda and Gigi, they were such supportive friends and added even more heart to the story.
The only reason this wasn't quite a five-star read for me was because I jumped into the series without reading the earlier books first, so I occasionally found it difficult to keep track of some of the returning characters.
Even so, this book left me wanting to go back and read the rest of the series, and that's always a win in my book. I definitely recommend it to readers who enjoy emotional romance, romantic suspense, and unforgettable characters.

Review of advance copy received from Author
For once, the description for this book does not do it justice! On the surface, Olivia Barnes-Fleetwood self-proclaims she is willing to be the "temporary" sub to Garrett Pace and Keane Rollins, two people she'll work with on her family's ranch while her newly wed brothers are on their honeymoon, and her parents are on a vacation following the wedding. After the initial awkwardness of their mistaken identity meet-cute, a series of mishaps begin occurring just as two of her exes also reappear in her life. Many of the Willow Fork townspeople still hold judgmental attitudes toward her family and their relationship lifestyle in spite of the benefit the Barnes-Fleetwood Collective has brought to the small community so the list of suspects is long. When things start to dangerously escalate, Olivia, Garrett and Keane, try to figure things out on their own before they have to involve all her parents, especially Jake, who scares everyone in town.
Conversations Olivia has with her friends Gigi, Miranda and Gabe add a level of humor to this story as they often reference the OG dynamics that Keane and Garrett know nothing about yet (IYKYK). The jailhouse scene is packed with high emotion and hilarious interactions served alongside some humble pie. I think readers, new and old will find something to enjoy in this story!

Olivia Barnes-Fleetwood is a wonderful combination of her parents: tough businesswoman like her Dad, compassionate and fun loving like her Papa and no nonsense but gentle and loving like her Mom. She's been deluding herself for years thinking she could have somthing/someone that was never going to happen. Being set up for a one night "good time" is just what the doctor ordered; no muss, no fuss, no names, just raw lust and pleasure. And it worked until she met the newest O'Malley hirees. Garret Pace and Keane Rollins may not be blood related but they're brothers by choice. Finding out who their nameless one night stand is a shocker for all involved and the perfrct opportunity to start something real with hr. Now they just have to convince her. Fate steps in and lends a hand. As these three deepen their relationship the business side of things start to get dicey with mysterious happenings, ex-suiters showing up, a jealous ex-girlfriend stirring up trouble and a business partner who may be taking advantage in all the wrong ways. Great suspense and intrigue with just enough danger mixed in with the steamy relationship that you'll keep turning the pages. Big plus? Big Tag makes an appearance and delivers his usual sarcastic outlook. Just doesn't get any better.

The Temporary Siren is book 3 in Lexi Blake’s Texas Sirens Legacy series and I knew Olivia Barnes-Fleetwood was going to be a handful. After a “one night only, no names” exchange with Garrett and Keane after her brothers wedding, Olivia is shocked to find them working together for the next few weeks. When Olivia’s exes want a second chance Garrett and Keane step in as her boyfriends. Olivia has also made a few enemies that these two are determined to protect her from.
What I liked:
💥Olivia. She’s a bada$$ and had to work for any respect in her male dominated career, especially with all the discussions of her family.
🔥The steam! Like all Lexi Blake’s, the steam was perfection.
🤠Jack and Sam.. IYKYK
What I struggled with was the pace. There were several scenes of them in a bar with lots of kinda boring conversation. I know it was setting up the bad guys and couples or throuples for the next books, but they dragged. Also I would have liked more intimate scenes with Garrett, Keane and Olivia once G&K revealed their feelings for one another.
Overall a solid entry in the Sirens series with Lexi Blake’s trademark steam, found family, complicated relationships and cameos from past characters that kept me reading.

I absolutely loved this story. The Barnes- Fleetwood family are one of my favorites and Olivia's story felt like it mirrored her parents. Lexi Blake/Sophie Oak is a master at romantic suspense. I love the multi-generational aspect.
Olivia is an independent, smart and fierce FMC just like her mom Abby. While she's submissive in the bedroom, Olivia is the boss b*tch at her job. She loves hard but never thought she would have a love like her parents. Garrett and Keane are like two halves of a whole. Their friendship pushes the boundaries but in the best way. Garrett is thoughtful and confident and becomes a lawyer to help Keane. Keane is the more dominant of the two and while he has rough edges, he isn't afraid to show his softer side to those he cares about. The parallel between them and Jack and Sam is a great touch.
As always, the spice is top tier but it's the emotions that really got me. The suspense element keeps you hooked to the very end. The addition of Big Tag and his sarcasm is a genuine delight. I love how they have a kidnapped bracket. If you love dominant men who are ruled by the women they love, then this one is for you. The MFM angle is pretty great too 🥵.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

This was my first Lexi Blake book, and it was spicy, suspenseful, and heartfelt all at the same time.
Olivia Barnes-Fleetwood has spent her whole life being judged for her family and their lifestyle. She is a hardworking woman who always puts her family first. On the night of her brother's wedding, she decides to have a little fun for herself. With her best friend acting as a wingman, she ends up having a hot and steamy one-night stand threesome.
Garret and Keenan are best friends who grew up in foster care together. They are both starting new jobs working for the Barnes-Fleetwood family after their friend's wedding. Neither expected their wedding hookup to come back and surprise them, but in walks Olivia Barnes-Fleetwood—their new boss and recent hookup.
The chemistry between the three of them is steamy and intense, both in and out of the bedroom. Garret and Keenan seem to be a great counterbalance to Olivia's personality, each bringing their own strengths to the growing relationship. When outside forces start to threaten their bond, Keenan and Garret will do anything to keep Olivia safe.
Thank you Lexi Blake and Valentine PR for the ARC!

The Temporary Siren, book three in the Texas Sirens: Legacy is a fantastic next generation story with the perfect amount of spice and amazing characters that kept me completely engaged.
Olivia Barnes-Fleetwood has seen what a heathy ménage relationship looks like because her parents have set the bar pretty high and she craves that same connection. She just hasn’t met the right partners until Garrett Pace and Keane Rollins who are best friends enter her life.
What started with some hot role play on a one night stand unexpectedly turned into more when Garrett and Keane showed back up in her life the next morning.
Willow Fork really never welcomed her parents relationship so Olivia knew what to expect but that was not going to deter her from finding her own happiness. I thoroughly enjoyed the dynamics between these three. They each had their own role to play in their relationship and it not only balanced them out but it also completed them all not just physically but emotionally as well.

I never have enough to words to express how much I love Lexi’s books. Getting to read so many next generation books from her makes me want to go back and read every single one of her 100+ all over again (and I have done some on audio, but can’t wait to do more).
Olivia’s parents were one of my favorite couples that Lexi wrote under her Sophie Oak pen name. Getting to read her brother’s story a couple of years ago made me want to read Olivia’s that much more. I love that Olivia chose to fall into the same type of relationship as her parents.
I love Garrett and Keane. They both have their share of trauma and issues in their lives, but they bonded together and became two halves of a whole (like Olivia’s dads) and they truly became whole when they meet Olivia. I love the way Lexi writes multiple partners. The spicy scenes are fantastic but there’s so much more to their connections.
Lexi has been my favorite author for a decade and her books just keep getting better and better. Thank you Valentine PR for my copy of this book.

This one took me longer than normal to get through and I can't quite pinpoint why.
I loved the characters! Olivia was a badass which I always love to see, and the relationship between Garrett and Keane was so lovely. The two guys had so much history and their friendship was gorgeous. Watching that friendship evolve was so interesting and sweet.
I loved how they all embraced who they are and ran with it. The community they had around them, so accepting and affirming made for a fun read.
I loved the way the author brought the characters to life. She had me rooting for the good guys and hating the bad guys so effectively.
I loved the drama and intrigue. Even the hard bits were really enjoyable to read, even if they broke my heart a bit.
This was the first of this particular series that I have read, and I'm keen to go back and read the previous one soon. Looking forward to more from this author.

Olivia Barnes-Fleetwood had always wanted what her parents have, but she has been bullied and judged all her life over their lifestyle. She has been in love with her bff Bobby, but nothing happened. She was engaged once to Scott, but he dumped her for somebody else. She is pondering all this at her brothers wedding, when she decided to do something out of character and goes for what she always wanted with two strangers, no names, no entanglements. She had the time of her life but Keane and Garrett had other ideas in mind. However, faith had something else in store for her and her men, when she realizes that they will be working with her while her brothers are away. When they get home, a series of events makes it clear that Olivia is a target and her men will do everything they can to keep her safe and loved. Scorching hot, suspensfull, parents drama and Big Tag is also present to makes this a fun story that captivates you from start to finish.

A quick note to Lexi Blake...please don't ever stop writing about these people and adding new ones into the crew!! Olivia, Keene, and Garrett are truly worthy of inclusion into this growing rosta of people I love to read about.
Not only do we get heat, love, and friendship, we also get mystery and tension. Add banter, fabulous humour, and great storytelling, and you have the perfect recipe for a book I just couldn't put down. As always, I love every minute of Ian Taggart showing his big, handsome, irreverent face, along with other people I love to have included.
The evolution of the relationship between the central trio was handled well, but the growth between Keane and Garrett was a delight. Lifelong, committed friends, confidants, and true supporters of each other, these two definitely captured my heart. I have loved this latest trip onto the world of committed, loving friends and lovers. Fabulous! 💖💖💖💖💖

Thankyou to valentine pr and Lexi Blake for the opportunity to arc read this.
This started off really strong, with Livie throwing herself into a fun night with two strangers, only to find herself working with them the next day.
It was a really fun way to start their story. The characters were easy to connect with and the banter was great.
Unfortunately it seemed to go downhill halfway through and became kind of cringy and very cliche. The pacing was off and the story became really drawn out.
I did really enjoy some aspects of this story, the way Keane and Garrett were so protective of Livie and were down so bad for her. It was really sweet in places and definitely got you in your feels. The dom/sub plot was done really well, and the found family was so cute. The side characters were actually some of my favourites.
Overall I think it was a good read and those that like a why choose BDSM read will most definitely enjoy.
