review 1: When the Siren Calls is about lonely and neglected wife that starts an affair with a married man. Personally the erotic portions of this book fell flat and forced driven by the male perspective. While the male perspective is important in erotic situations doesn't make me want to find my own version of release with my hubby afterwards. All the female characters were whiny, bitchy, and dull with no sense of depth. All the male characters were of the entitlement attitude, cocky, and brutish. Maybe someone else will enjoy this story as for me I found it lacking on many levels. review 2: When i first atarted reading this book, i knew it was not a book that i would typically read. I found the first 20% really hard going, i didn't like either of the 2 main characters,... more and it seemed to take me a really long time to read that far, and i found i was only reading a couple of chapters before putting it down again - I'm usually a book a night/2 nights reader!As i progressed through the book, i found that it get more interesting after the 20% mark. I got to know more about the characters, and their circumstances. I found it much easier to read and it didn't take me long to finish the book. I'd be interested in finding out where Isobel and Jay go from here.My only real criticism is that the sex scenes are rather too detailed , which isn't really my cup of tea! I found myself rolling my eyes and skimming through them!I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes a bit of romance and intrigue and a touch of 50 Shades. less
