Very good. Great start to a new series. I plan to get them all.
They only thing that kept me from rating a 5 was the conflict between the heros and the heroine. I never fully understood what kept them apart for so long.

I love this series! I am huge fan of western menage romances. In fact, I would like to move to Wilde, NV!
Pros: Ms. Lang does a most excellent job of creating lovable, flawed, relatable heroines. Just like in my fantasies, a curvey, smart mouthed girl like me might attracted 5 hawt cowboys. Ms. Lang is strong in one of most difficult challenges in writing menage with multi-partners. She writes in such a way that you can really differentiate between all the players. This makes the story much more exciting and enjoyable to read.
Cons: In a story read cover-to-cover, it is fun to try to figure out the "who done it" and get duped along with the characters. In a story read in 6 installments over 6 months, that is really hard. Foreshadowing and little hints are forgotten between installments.
Ms. Lang, please keep the audience in mind when writing an installemnt story. Remember, some of us read up to 5 books a week. We will remember your main characters but secondary characters and those involved in the "romantic suspense" portion of the story will slip our minds. I know it can be tedious but we need more reminders than you might think. Also, most of us are reading on e-readers. We can't just flip back through the pages for a refresher.
Thank you for an excellent group of stories. Can't wait for the next one!

I ready 3-5 books per week and this is one of the BEST I have read. Here's why:
1. The primary romance was so heartfelt and sincere.
2. The heros and heroine were likable, relatable and believable.
3. The secondary characters were fleshed out and interesting and unexpected. My absolute fav is Liam. Why not write a book for him? He deserves his HEA.
4. There were about 4 different conflicts and they were all interesting and kept you turning the pages. All of the conflicts were refreshing and nothing like I have read before.
Thank you for such a great book. It's a stand out!

I feel terrible leaving a bad review but I have to be honest. I got to about page 40 and just didn't enjoy this book. (I feel the need to qualify..I read about 5 books a week and this is the first time I can remember giving up on a book.)
I didn't like the characters. None of the men seemed very strong or Alpha. They came across as pitiful. The main characters all seemed "beaten down" and sad. That's just not sexy.

I enjoyed this book and would have given it a 5 if not for one factor. It took me until page 45 to recall who these characters were and what happened in the first story. Like many Siren fans, I read 5+ books per week. Right now, Ethan and Jackson are very popular character names. I just couldn't remember what happened in the first book.
Bit of unsolicited advice, give a little synopsis at the beginning of the book to refresh the readers mind, especially if it has been several weeks since the first story was released.

I am a huge fan of Dixie Lynn Dwyer and this book is no exception. She does a great job of writing menage. I enjoyed all of the minor characters and can't wait to read the next installment.
One small point of constructive criticism: if you're writing a menage, please don't give your heroine a male name. It is confusing in a situation where it is hard enough to keep track of the characters. Also, give each character a distinctive name. Too many characters with similar names is confusing (ie. Alex, Al and Alexa; Sam and Samara; Marie and Marette).
That said, the story was steamy and enjoyable and I highly recommend it.
