I got a copy of Siren Song from the Read to Review group on Goodreads, so thanks go out to all that make it possible for me to review this book.  I gotta say the first couple of pages of Siren Song had me really intrigued, unfortunately though it kinda turned into a hot mess after that. I actually really liked the two main characters, I just couldn't stand them together.  While I realize most romances are predictable this one especially so, there wasn't much conflict keeping the two MC apart except themselves getting in their own damn way.Lexi was actually really interesting, a writer for an adventure/social column in a magazine, she wrote under the alias "Lexi Darling" .  Lexi did all kinds of cool things whitewater rafting etc, while doing interviews.  She wore crazy clothes, stilleto heels and a different wig everyday.  She was interesting!  She is hanging out at her roommates bar doing tequila shots with her roomie when she spies Duncan, instant chemistry so much so she goes back to his hotel room with him after knowing him all of five minutes.  Did I mention she was also very blunt made for some pretty funny moments.  I thought great here's a modern woman who owns her sexuality...sadly not so much as it turned out.Duncan is pretty much the typical alpha male character, uber hot successful the usual stuff.  The tension between him and Lexi in the beginning was interesting, but his angst got on my last nerve really really quickly.  The only thing standing in the way of the romance between the two of them was his damn angst..."oh no we can't you work for me, but I can't resist you" crap got old fast and the book didn't need damn near a 100 pages of it.  Parts of the story were completely unbelievable, Lexi has sex with Duncan as a virgin, the wolf knows but the man doesn't....seriously?!  Duncan bites her but no one including him figures it out til the last paragraph....again seriously?  The only thing that made this readable for me honestly, was Lexi.  She was someone I''d like to hang out with the rest of the book....meh.
