Siren #2
My Valentine
Book Two in the Siren series is not a standalone. Reading Siren beforehand will definitely enhance your reading experience of My Valentine.
Roses are red, violets are blue.
You’ve sent me to Hell.
Now you must join me, too.
Obsession is a word that’s followed me since the day I met her. I’m not too ashamed to admit it flows through my veins. I, of all people, realise how dangerous that can be.
I may have escaped, but no matter how much I run, she’s there, reminding me of what I did...what I miss. Even in death, she haunts me. If losing her wasn’t enough, I constantly have to live with her inside my head during the day, in my dreams at night.
She’s punishing me. It’s what she does best. Even gone, her claws sink deep into my skin.
I thought it was over.
I was wrong.
It seems Scarlet’s not quite done with me yet.
Warning: There are scenes - as in the previous book, Siren - which may trigger those sensitive to sexual abuse.

Do author's behaviors deter you or encourage you from reading their work?
I've been shocked in the past by some author's behavior. Some "big" authors I loved and respected truly attacked some fellow author and I was speechless. I confess that I will either stop to read their work, either my read will be tainted.
How can you write and speak about love and support when you don't follow what you write?
But today I want to share something really positive with you.
You see I've known Jaimie Roberts for some years now. I even did some beta read for her. We chat from time to time about her work or her kids, etc.
When she proposed to send "My Valentine", the sequel of "Siren" I accepted immediately but told her maybe I would not read it on time for the release.
"No problem" was her answer.
Imagine my embarrassment when I contacted her and told her that I was 30% in the book and I did not think I could finish. Not because it was poorly written, on the contrary but because it was too dark, sick and twisted for my own personal taste. Too far from my comfort zone ...
I asked her "What would you like me to do? Write DNF and explain or say nothing?"
Well she told me "Do what feels right to you" "I trust you" She also added that's what she loved : I told the truth, no sugarcoating.
SO here is my SHOUTOUT to Jaimie Roberts because she RESPECTS her readers, whatever their opininon!!!!
Now I did finish the book because chatting with her it seemed there was more to come. More twists. More secrets. More, always more. Well I should have expected this coming from her. She always has a trick up her sleeve ;-)
So what I would tell you is this: if you are a dark and twisted read addict, please read this! It's a masterpiece in its genre truly.
It's riveting, it's sick, it's filled with twists and it's around a scorned *that's not even the right term* woman seeking her revenge and delivering it without mercy.
Scarlet was cunning, smart, determined, merciless.
Kudos to you Jaimie!
But first read "Siren", the first book in this duology.
🤔Are you a dark romance fan?
Thanks for reading!

**No spoiler review**
This review is literally my emotions because to experience how brilliantly this is written you’ve got to go all in for yourself 👌
Well Jaimie Roberts’s I didn’t think you’d pull it off after Siren 🚨
I was so nervous when this book came around.
But the way you have written this and all the little details wow I was literally hooked. I don’t think I’ve ever a book 2 as good as this.
Twisty as fk
Angsty
Mind blowing
And funny as hell (yes my black heart 🖤 thought it was funny)
seeing how it all played out,
Bravo 👏 Jaimie you’re writing is on point with this one. You knocked it out the park!
5 very well deserved stars for this 🖤

I loved Siren. It was dark, twisted as hell with a fabulous ending. So imagine my surprise when I saw that there’s a sequel. I dived in cause color me intrigued. My Valentine was a let down I’m sad to say. It wasn’t dark and I expected some twisted or f...ed up scenes because Siren definitely had a lot of those but they just didn’t happen or maybe they did. I just couldn’t see them or Siren had just set the bar to high. The plot and story was predictable right off the bat and I felt the story went in repetitive mode so the only interesting factor for me was the ending. The ending was okay. Ended a little abruptly. Again I expected more.

You take an angelic looking author, her halo almost shined to perfection, add in an idyllic setting of Gibraltar, a peaceful haven on earth, lush mountainside, cows grazing, seagulls cawking and peaceful Mediterranean sea, and what does she write...... A twisted AF story about a sexy siren who Fucks anybody with two legs! Sometimes I worry for Jaimie and her filthy brain *smh*. The woman can barely whisper aloud and she creates a Screaming Red Scarlet ...omg, how does she do that ?!!?!!
One, Two, she's coming for you.
Three, Four, she's out to settle a score.
Five, six, better run away quick.
Seven, Eight, prepare to meet your fate.
A morally depraved individual, full of venom and viles, out to avenge herself and slay her enemies.
Cause Scarlet is back baby and how !!!! Is it wrong that every time it was a point notched in Scarlet's favour, and another pin stuck in Reid's mind, my inner goddess somesaulted singing Rah ! Rah! Like a MoFo cheerleader. #GoScarlet !
Book 1 saw Scarlet being killed . The story picks up thereafter cause Jaimie (bless her heart) couldn't let her go. The psychotic bitch was (and I quote) "Scarlet started whispering in my ears again a few months after Siren!
I bet she said Jaimie !! Why did you kill me ! I'm telling you those whispers of hers would drive anybody crazy. Jaimie, Reid, readers **gasp**😱.
This story has a Scarlet Scorned, I can see warpaint on under her skin. She plans meticulously, carries out her revenge thoroughly, end result is a pathetic, ruined, crying piece of drowned rat called Reid, curled up in a heap of distress, handcuffed and sectioned.
I LOVED , LOVED, LOVED the story !
There's David "A cross between Stuart & Reid --a little bit twisted king with sweetness thrown in. He cares deeply for Scarlet, but he also holds the small element of darkness that she needs"
He's a fucked up MoFo no doubt, taking chances and avoiding truth!! I laughed out loud at how ridiculously dangerous their relationship was !! But then she's Scarlet, I mean her life is full of landmines and Darling Daddies, right!!
By her own (Jamie's) admission, I am a sociopath with a narcissistic personality, suffering from manic episodes and post traumatic stress.
Oh, I'm a sex addict.
Who knew?
Well...duhhh!
We knew,
Richard knew
Stuart knew
Reid knew
Anywho, moving on, though I don't wanna. I just wanna keep reading about My Scarlet Valentine
My funny Valentine...
My fucked up....crazy.....Valentine !"
What fantastic writing, spellbinding characters, a speedy page Turner, I couldn't wait to finish and yet retard my reading. You'll be screaming a lot , clutching your heart and your grandma's pearls a LOT !
Jaimie has written with NO HOLDS BARRED ! Many, many WTF moments, TWISTS that would make your head hurt and your folds moist. I had hots for David, like soaking panties, yet burning aflame for David😍 could he BE any more perfect 💞💋💞 Out of all the characters , he's my fave ! Talk about small mercies lol 😁
So , people Go Read This Book ! Your life would change , for the better....i guess 🤔

Literally my face while reading this book:
Honestly, I think the author tried too hard to make this story over the top and it just didn't make sense in my opinion.

This book had nothing on book 1. It was sooo boring, I honestly had to force myself to finish it. I was low-key hoping Scarlet and Reid would get back together after she got some well-earned revenge - mainly because I just knew she and Stuart weren’t gonna be endgame. Scarlet and Reid are both crazy in the same way, and it actually would’ve made the story way more fun. Like imagine them raising a baby together (if it was his)… Reid would’ve been SO possessive, I would’ve lived for it.
David was just… there. I didn’t hate him, but he was so bland and forgettable compared to Stuart and Reid. Yeah, he was sweet and all, but I couldn’t bring myself to care. He showed up out of nowhere and I just didn’t feel any real chemistry between him and Scarlet. I liked him in book 1, but as a side character. He should’ve stayed in the background or maybe been a protective, older brother/father-figure type instead.
Stuart is still my #1 for Scarlet. I don’t believe for a second she gave up on him that fast. She loved him - like really loved him. He made her feel something real for the first time, and they had so much intensity between them. WAY more than she had with David. A reunion between Scarlet and Stuart would’ve been everything.
Also… I usually eat up pregnancy tropes, but I did not care for it here. Probably because the baby daddy (not Richard - the real one) was so dull. I just couldn’t get into it.
Honestly, Scarlet’s story ended for me with Siren. Everything after that felt kinda pointless.

Fantastic !!!!
Book Two in the Siren series is not a standalone. Reading Siren beforehand will definitely enhance your reading experience of My Valentine.
WOW! What a hell of a ride I have been on reading My Valentine.
YES before you even think about this book you MUST have read Siren first or you will not fully understand this one.
I really am struggling to put into words how good this sequel to Siren is.
I really did not know what to expect going into this book because of the ending of book 1. And if you have read book 1 you will know what I am talking about.
I am not going to go into details about this book because I think you need to go into this one blind and live through it yourself. Plus I think if I say anything, it could be a spoiler and I do not want that.
I have to say Jaimie did an amazing job on the sequel and I am so glad she wrote a book 2... This one was a crazy ride. So much happens, twists I did not see coming. The whole book was just fantastic. The writing, the storyline. Just everything!!!!

Nah didn't like it. The first book was better off being a standalone sorry
-----------------------------------
SPOILERS!!:
- Scarlet with the surprise rise from the dead trope AND A SURPRISE PREGNANCY TROPE?? She really came back from the grave with that 2 in 1 combo I am DECEASED. I would support her journey in motherhood and all but that literally came out of nowhere. And after she had the baby she just dumps him w her baby daddy who's not actually the baby daddy even though she claims to love the baby so much 😩😩
- Reid as a character was so interesting in the first book and he just got completely shit on in this book. Kinda mad him and Scarlet weren't endgame if I'm being 10000% honest. Cuz think about it, she's fucked up he's fucked up... they literally match
- Stuart?? Where the fuck did he go???? It was like a love octagon in book 1 but Stuart and Reid were most likely to be her permanent lover but then book 2 came and Stuart got dropped so fast. I only liked him cuz he was sweet and like the only good influence in scarlets life but I guess that's probably why he got cut 😔 the author said toxic relationships only
- DAVID??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was so fucking irrelevant in book 1 and in my eyes he's still irrelevant in this book. He's just the permanent babysitter I don't recognize him as any more than that 💅🏼

Absolutely bloody brilliant !!! The talent this author has is out of this world! She keeps you guessing and bringing you through so many intense scenes! Scenes that you think "Hmm I should not be turned on right now ,but I totally am"! I couldn't wait for more Scarlett! She came back ready to destroy! Everything in this book was so carefully put together and planned out that I loved reading every word! 5 amazingly blazing stars for this book! All I can say is buy it! Read it!! Ahhh you'll love it

***ARC provided in exchange for a honest review***
Wow! I couldn't put the book down until it ended. Amazing read!
I absolutely fell in love with Siren and was shocked when I heard My Valentine (Siren #2) was coming out. I was curious to see how Scarlet would plan her revenge. I should of known Scarlet would be back in full force and boy is she EVER!!! There we're times I even felt bad for Reid LOL. If you thought she was twisted as **** in Siren she goes over and beyond in My Valentine and I loved every single second of it! <3

Unputdownable! Dark and devious!
A sequel to Siren? YES PLEASE! From the start I was pulled into the story. I was intrigued and couldn’t read fast enough. The pacing is good. The author slowly builds suspense and will have you on the edge of your seat. Let’s talk about those hot scenes. Like forbidden fruit. You’re not supposed to like it but you do anyway. Not sorry! As the plot unfolds, my suspicions are proven right and that ending…..WOW!! I am not disappointed.
This book isn’t for everyone because of the content. I truly enjoyed it. I am a huge fan of the author’s writing and storytelling. I know I’m in for a great read when I grab a Jaimie Roberts book. If you like dark and taboo, this book and Siren is for YOU! Add this to you TBR. I give this 5 stars.

My Valentine (Siren #2)
By: Jaimie Roberts
4.5 Stars
Before reading this book, please make sure you’ve read Siren first.
Finishing Siren (Book #1), I had no idea how this book was going to play out. But typical Jaimie Roberts style, its done in a way that is well thought out and executed nicely. Well not so nicely but you get it…
Reid/Reece is away from it all running his bar/sex club. But one thing he can’t get over is how Scarlet is forever in his mind. Messing with him day in and day out. Causing him to go crazy. Feeling like everyone is whispering about him. Feeling like he is seeing Scarlet and her talking to him. Feeling like the world is caving in on him. The only person who can talk him down is his new therapist. Dr. Mercy.
Will the mind truly forget Scarlet as Dr. Mercy has suggested, if he were to let her go? How much can a man take before being certified crazy and locked up for good? What is the breaking point of a man who constantly thinks of the one he murdered?
With this page turner, you are constantly thinking who is behind all this nonsense? This story was well thought out and planned down to the last straw…The straw that truly broke the camel’s back. Great job Jaimie Roberts on cutting this puzzle out in such a way that nearly made it impossible to fit the pieces together until the very end!

Holy mother of dragons!
The author has done it again with this hot gritty, dark read!
My Valentine is not a standalone and in order for you to understand and appreciate this story you must read Siren first. In Siren, I described it as dark, twisted and explosive.
Well, fasten your seat belts because this one is even darker, more explosive and more twisted!
Fast paced, well written Scarlett is back with all her twisted twistedness and a taste for vengeance!
Scarlett has unresolved issues to solve and while we keep guessing what's going to happen and how.
Ohh... and then all the pieces fall into place.
Don't get mad get even!!
4.5 stars!

Dnf @48%well.. this was b o r i n g.
January 16, 2018
To say I was disappointed in book one of Siren was an understatement. But the reason why wasn't because it was not a good book it was in fact a very good book it had it all the sex, love, murder, it was very well thought out. But I was upset because I thought Scarlet got screwed literally not just physically when we thought she died. I was heartbroken.. Well let me tell you when I found out not only was she alive but she went after her revenge. Reid/Reece never had a chance. There were times I literally felt sorry for him, then I remembered what he had done to Scarlet. Reid was as twisted as his father before him. I was glad to see Scarlet get her happy ending. Ms Roberts has a devious mind and boy do I like to read wht it comes up with. Still on the edge about the next book. I don't know if I can handle more of Robert we will have to wait and see. Thank you Jaimie for sharing your deviousness.

After reading ‘Siren’ I didn’t know if there would be another book. So when I heard about ‘My Valentine’ I was so excited. This book was everything I was expecting and more...SO BLOODY GOOD!
Now this book, like ‘Siren’ does come with a WARNING ⚠️ If you love dark and twisted, I highly recommend. It is NOT for the faint hearted. It is a VERY DARK story with so my twists, you won’t have a clue what’s coming next. It is a revenge of epic proportions. That will completely blow your mind.

DNF, I SKIPPED MOST OF THE PAGES
This series started with so much potential and then it went downhill so quickly, it disgusts me because I just couldn’t keep up with this series, it’s a sequel however every book made me feel like it’s a stand-alone with the same characters, I don’t know if that’s the author’s purpose but it sucked, the heroine is weird and crazy and delusional, she had issues big time, and her personality is so awful, the way she thinks and acts makes me want to slap her face in every page I have read
I wish someone could explain to me the book ending, because I don’t know what happened to the characters at the end, like amber, Richard, her mom, and stuart!!!
Over all It was too weird to read

I'm not convinced that any review I could possibly give this book would explain just how fantastic it truly is. I was completely hooked from the very first to the very last word. I had so many emotions while reading that I actually questioned my own thoughts because I felt things and reacted to things in a way that most would think was a little odd at the very least.
After reading Siren some time back I didn't honestly think we could do any better but oh wow how wrong I was, this 2nd book is just perfectly perfect in a beautifully dark and twisted way.
Congratulation on what is an amazing read.

Wow I thought I wouldn't like this book as much as the first book.. I was so wrong. I was excited to read this book but also afraid I wouldn't like like this book.. Jaimie never falls to write a amazing 2nd book that will have you hooked from the first page tell the very ending. Read the first book first before or your you will not understand this book and keep up with the twists and turns.. this is a must read book..

And here I thought the Siren was a good, dark, twisted mindfuck of a book but HOLY FUCKING HELL My Valentine was bloody brilliant!
YOU HAVE TO READ SIREN TO PROPERLY FEEL THE IMPACT OF THIS BOOK.
I 'm not writing a proper review coz I know myself and I will ruin everything. But dammit Jaimie if you didn't make me into your eternal little bitch!

I'm not really sure what to rate this book. I have it as two stars though it might be 2.5. This being the 4th book I've read by this author you'd think I'd be used to the uncomfortable, hard limit subject matter, but I was proven wrong, lol. Whether things were done for shock value, I can't really say. There are two things I could have done without. Yet another pseduo-incestuous relationship, this time with Scarlet and David who could have been her father, and the rape scene. I felt the latter was put in to kind of "put Scarlet in her place" since her revenge against Reid was going so well. I don't know why Scarlet thought he wouldn't turn violent against her. He raped you chick! You really thought this time around he'd just sob and cry because he was paranoid? Her revenge plot left a lot to be desired. Who has the kind of patience to drive someone out of their mind when there were a million opportunities beforehand to get someone thrown in prison?? When Reid himself had so many run-ins with the law? That just made no sense to me.
Reid was already a few cards short of a full deck. Driving him to a psychotic break, the way it was described kind of made me feel like I was reading a cartoon, to be honest. I didn't feel Reid's fear, I didn't feel him losing it. He just more or less came off as perpetually drunk. So that plot could have been fleshed out more. And as someone else pointed out, Scarlet getting contacts, coloring her hair, adopting a Scottish accent, and wearing dowdy clothes wouldn't have been enough to convince Reid who was obsessed with her that she was a totally different person. Then again in the fictional world people can't see that Clark Kent is Superman simply because Clark wears glasses, guess I can suspend my disbelief.
Moving on, I read Jaimie's after word, or message to the fans, and her novella idea involving a what-if if Richard hadn't died. I'm glad he's dead and that's where he needs to stay. In the figurative grave. I don't need a what-if on what would happen between a child rapist and his victim. In this climate, #metoo movement, we don't need more stories like that. Women shouldn't have to be victimized in order to find their empowerment. That's just my opinion. Other than that, I think Scarlet's story has been wrapped up in the best way it could.

I read My Valentine because I loved the Siren. I'm disappointed though. This felt rushed. It also had some major plot-holes, like . I liked the premise of the book, Scarlet getting her revenge, although I hated what the author did with But the author took the book in another direction. I respect her decision, they're her characters after all, I just thought that this book would cement the feeling that the previous book gave me: that it's all right to be deviant, it's all right to be a bit twisted and dark and that people aren't all good or all bad, but both. My Valentine made me feel as if it canceled this feeling (which we don't get in many books), in preference of a more "normal" life, character, ending.

I liked Reid in book one and I continued to like him in this book. And yes he made mistakes, great big dirty ones in fact, but I just had zero sympathy for Scarlet. I felt her actions to be childish and vindictive despite what she went through.
Reid's behaviour, although pretty despicable in the first book, I do believe (and because this is fiction and not real life) that Scarlet, dare I say, brought it on herself. Reid's actions weren't pre- meditated, which is exactly where Scarlet went wrong for me. I think she was meant to come across as a character on a journey of discovery, but all I discovered was that she was evil and cold hearted.
The storyline, for me relied heavily on the shock value of a certain taboo subject, with a few twists and turns thrown in, which I didn't find entirely believable if I'm honest.
Despite this I did find myself engrossed in the book right until the end, at which point I was sadly left somewhat disheartened. I usually really enjoy Jaimie's books and no doubt I will continue to do so, but sadly this book and conclusion just wasn't what I have come to expect from Jaimie.

Well.... How do I begin... The book is everything... I loved Scarlet in Siren and was soo happy, so excited by learning that Siren will have the second part, My Valentine... As Siren was dark, too dark, twisted, sometimes even hard to read because of it's themes, I knew that My Valentine would be even darker, but... FIrst book has it all.. love, sex, murderer, villain, actually lots of villains.... I loved Scarlet, cried for her when knowing her story, her path. I was shocked and heartbroken at the last pages of Siren... Then came My Valentine and I was sooo happy, because eventually Scarlet would get her revenge... I loved how she plotted her every move, how Reid got what he deserved. To tell the truth I even felt sorry for him at the end, but on remembering what he did to her, and whose genes he carried, I just felt that karma is bitch and it hit him in his royally screwed up butt.
I was sooo happy for Scarlet, she deserved to have her happy ending.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ twisted stars!
MY VALENTINE by Jaimie Roberts
(Book 2 in the siren series!)
Releasing Feb 1st
I cannot believe what I just read! I thought Siren was crazy, this one managed to surprise me on every turn of the page! I am so glad that Jaimie decided to write this one even though Siren was supposed to be a standalone!
What ever you think you know, you don't! I could never have foreseen some of those twists😈. I don't want to give much away in this review as it'll not only spoil the book for you, but it will also spoil book 1 (Siren) for anyone who hasn't read it. (If you are one of those people then you must read it NOW!)
Book 1 warns that it is not a romance, in my mind, book 2 isn't either but I'll leave that up to you to decide. It's twisty and wrong on so many levels, you have no idea weather you should be in love or be disgusted with some chapters 😂 honestly, Jaimie did an amazing job at keeping me reading until the end. I HAD to know what was going on 😁.
Something that impressed me with this book.... the chapters were set out so that the different characters were in different times to each other ( sounds confusing but totally not!) So one character was living in the past and the other, in the present yet their stories moulded together easily. I wondered how that would work but, Jaimie manages to do this very well! 😁 Also, I LOVED the fact that every now and again one of the characters would mention a song (on the radio or in their head) and it would be on the actual 'My Valentine' playlist 😀 it really set the scene and the song choices were amazing! (Especailly the first song mentioned which was totally down to me 😂 (I had to drop that in there 😉) PS thanks Jaimie! That made my day! I squealed like a little school girl! 😂)
Overall, I think I have a new favourite and I have no idea how I am going to wait so long for the paperback! (I pre ordered for RARE) Jaimie, you kicked ass with this one!
