The Siren by Tiffany Reisz

The Siren is the debut full length novel by Tiffany Reisz and it is a read that is just as sizzling as the title and cover promises. Writing a BDSM erotic romance that should have the attention that 50 Shades has brought to the BDSM world.

As the book itself has mentioned that it is possible to have an erotic book without it being all sex, I think Reisz is able to do so while truly introducing the non-BDSM world in to it's dark shadows. Unlike other BDSM novels I've read this book gives an honest look into there world. It's honest in what is involved in it, with out having to explain all the different subcultures that are intertwined with BDSM. Personally I think people have this predisposed view of what BDSM is and Reisz is able to balance reality with those predisposed view and not make it sound preachy, happy go-lucky world.

Like any relationships and characters Nora is a complex person and is able to delve in to so many worlds without having to apologize for who she is. For the most part she knows who she is underneath everything else, but still she is struggling with finding the balance of who she is and who she wants to be. And through this process she is working on her latest novel with a new editor that is more suited to her then he even knows. There are so many struggles for dominance in this book that it will make you're head spin, but in reality the characters are all human and to be human means that you are fighting for dominance let it be to one part of your personality or to someone else.

If you're some what intrigued by the BDSM or even just read 50 Shades of Grey, Then I would suggest, no, I highly recommend you read The Siren to cleanse your pallet and get to know what can really happen in a BDSM romance that is driven by sex but some how isn't.

With well rounded characters with real flaws everyone can relate to, let you be in the BDSM world or not, the story isn't defined by the sex life of the character even if it is who she is.

Tiffany Reisz's second book in the series that continues Nora's story is The Angel, that is newly released. With the market finally taking a real notice to erotic and romance, not just sweeping it under the carpet, I'm excited to see Reisz's career and future novels flourish.
