I love everything by this author. The particular story was entertaining and fun to read. Dinosaurs, mystery talents and bad guys chasing the main characters who have a trusty dust bunny. Love!

The description of this book is very misleading. Ella did not fall in love immediately with Rafe three months ago. They met professionally and Rafe said he'd call her for coffee. He never did. She was annoyed, but nothing more. Rafe shows up three months later because he needs her for a job with his company. He's been psi-burned sometime in the three months and occasionally hallucinates. Rafe needs Ella because dinosaurs have been discovered on Rainshadow island and they sing to their victims. Rafe thinks that Ella may be able to help him eliminate the dinosaurs or at least their threat.

Like all Jayne Castle books, there is no angst and no drama. Ella is very straightforward and says what the reader is thinking. She's a good character. Rafe is ok, but bland.

Siren's call is #12 in this long running paranormal series by Jayne Ann Krentz . I started with Amaryllis, Zinnia, and Orchid ---space centered books were not the norm and I loved the novelty. Her characters are wonderful! I love every installment as I get to reconnect with these friends/characters. The story lines are entertaining and...dust bunnies! Always a relaxing, feel-good reading session when a Jayne Ann Krentz novel is involved. The audiobook was amazing!

Ella Morgan is a rare music talent and when a dust bunny pleads for her aid, she manages to help the furry fuzz ball but it also exposes her secret to Rafe Coppersmith. He claims he will keep her secret, asks her out for coffee and then never shows....

Months later Rafe shows up in her offices to hire her. He needs her very special talent to clear some catacombs known as Wonderland, on Rainshadow Island. They are trying to mine these catacombs but they have been overrun with dinosaurs. Yep, I said it dinosaurs! Ella has a secret, one that has left her with a string of unsuccessful dates. She is a rare-talent, a Siren who can sing men to their death. Men usually run from her, but Rafe has secrets too. Intrigued by the job and if she is honest the man himself she accepts the job. Soon the two are thrust into danger as someone or something wants them.

Castle provided a suspenseful tale that kept me curious and opened the door to more adventures with hints of a secret city. The action was intense and our couple found themselves trying to escape capture. The clues, villains and betrayals were well crafted as we learned about two groups. One wants to stop alien-technology and the other wants to possess and control it. I loved that Ella was a Siren and her talents were interesting. We met a new adorable dust bunny named Lorelei who has an affinity for donuts. Siren’s Call is heavy on the suspense/mystery aspect but the romance weaved throughout was delightful. We get banter, see growth and enjoy a few lightly detailed moments with the couple. It was fun seeing them share their secrets and trust each other.
