The cornerstone of love is honesty,
Within lust, lies live.
Secrets hover somewhere between.



Siri knows she has it all, but without love, she has nothing. Aurei is the only man she’s ever lusted for. Yet a relationship with secrets is doomed to fail. 

Aurei has secrets he dares not share. But Siri is such an interesting find that he cannot force himself to stay away.

When the two are on the precipice of something truly magical happening between them, the choice is clear. But when the most interesting of Siri's secrets is revealed, is the price too high? 

Will Siri’s secret ruin everything?

Aurelius By Jessika Klide a five-star read that will set you ablaze. This is the fifth book in the Siri Saga serial and it is best to read them in order to get the whole story in all its glory. They build from one another and get stronger with each read. There is so much chemistry in this book that I am surprised there aren’t explosions. If you are after a great read, with plenty of steam and situations that will leave you wanting more then this is the series for you, but be warned you shouldn’t read this in public. It may cause more blushing that you can cope with.

The chemistry these characters have is off the charts. The story to me is finally starting to form, even though I still have some moments of what is happening. I will say that the author has a knack for bringing the heat and seduction. I also keep coming back for more needing to know where exactly this is heading.

Siri and Aurelius are starting to grow on me and their chemistry is off the charts. I’m starting to enjoy their journey and with each story I become more intrigued into where their relationship is heading.

*****5 SASSY SMOKIN STARS*****

Klide gets the inferno a blazing in Aurelius!! You are doing yourself a huge injustice if you don't read the Siri Saga in order; here's the run down...
**Hard-Core, Seary, Moore, Wild Thang, then Aurelius**
Aurelius and Siri have such a playful banter. In this latest installment Siri reveals a few secrets. Some are more shocking than others for Aurelius! They both agree to keep the truth "straight line, not curved." Siri feels "no secret is too complicated for two hearts that choose to be together." You're guaranteed to get hot and bothered as the sparks fly as the "Thunder versus Wild" battle ensues!! Meeting Ann, Aurelius' baby sister adds to the sass and spunk of the book! I can't wait to see what Aurelius and Siri's first official date brings once they get to The Stallion...Ruthless (Siri Sage #6) is sure to be another one sitting read.

This book is the continuation of the Siri and Aurelius series. Aruelius is a military pilot that is hardcore alpha male. Siri is the headliner Vegas star that can make your body spasm just by watching her dance. These two have had chemistry throughout the whole series and something is finally done about it in this book. The scenes are steamy and they pages will just keep turning because you will want to know what this author will have them do next. Jessika KlideJessika Klide definitely knows how to write some hot scenes!!! Don't forget to grab a fan, some ice water to drink to cool you down, and a change of clothes when reading!

Aurelius is book 5 of Jessika Klide's Siri's Saga. Aurelius Moore and Siri will meet again and then everything will explode into a hot, steamy relationship. Siri is one my favorite characters, she is sexy, beautiful, she stays true to herself and she is a giver. Aurelius is sexy, secretive and holds everything close to his chest. The Golden God and Wild Thing will leave you breathless and are perfect for each other. They are one of my top 10 couple characters. I also know their story will only get better.
I like the changes Jessika made to the story, I Loved the first version of the Aurelius and the changes only make it so much more enjoyable. Mrs. Klide please give us More of Moore!!! Happy Reading!!!!!

Jessika has done it again in this, the 5th installment of the Siri Saga! Once you start this book, you won't be able to put it down! The reader picks up where they left off, climbing in a cab with Siri on her way home. Now that the high of performing is wearing off, Siri's thought drift to Aurelius, wanting him NOW and not waiting until Sunday. Much to her surprise he is returning home just as she is and they resume their cat and mouse game of attraction. This book is HOT and STEAMY! We get to see the relationship begin, each character revealing more of their true selves to the other. I cannot wait to read what Jessika Klide brings us next!

When Aurei see Siri returning home from the party, they are unable to deny their chemistry they have been fighting. Aurei finds out just what a gift Siri is going to give him and he wants there to be no secrets between them, Siri convinces him that no secret is too complicated for them and she wants him. Siri tells Aurei what happened at the party she went to not knowing it was going to be a swinger’s party. They head to meet Aurei’s sister who when seeing the chemistry between them says that Aurei has met his match. The chemistry between the two is off the charts can’t wait to read the next one in the series.

This one picks up right where book 4 ended. I really loved the last book and was still feeling the hype of that when I started this and I was a little let down. Maybe my expectations were too high but I just couldn’t get into this one as much as the last one. I’m glad I read it because I do like the characters and the overall plot but it wasn’t my favorite in the series. I liked seeing them get to know one another more and more but at the same time it was hard to follow up with the last one. I’m not saying that made it horrible, just different. I plan to read more of this couples tale. 4 stars #2OCCJD

AURELIUS
by Jessika Kilde

If you love a great story full of fantastic characters that have chemistry that will blow you away and keep you turning pages that give you all the sexy steamy situations that you want and have you craving for Moore this is the series for you. Although it is best to read this series in order Aurelius and Siri will steal your heart making them one of your top ten favorite couples you've ever read and have you wishing the next book was already here to read. Cant wait for the next in line as i know they will only get better a true must read series.

Jessika Klide is a new author to me. Aurelius was a great read. The pages were packed with heat and a good story. I look forward to looking into reading more by this author! I would recommend Aurelius. I would recommend starting with book 1 of her Siri's Saga series. I received an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Aurelius and Siri both have secrets in both of their lines of work. They both have feelings for each other and finally acted on those feelings. There's great chemistry between them. This was probably my favorite because they were open and honest with each other in so many ways. Aurelius introduced Siri to his sister who is very important to to him. It also show how important Siri is to him

HOT! HOT! HOT! Jessika Klide does it again in this fifth installment of Siri's Saga. She sure knows how to write her characters. Siri is one sexy woman and Aurelius is a Golden God. The chemistry between these two is off the charts. If you're looking for your next hot, sexy as all hell read then the Siri Saga is for you.

Another great snippet into the lives of Siri and Aurelius.

We learn more about what Siri does for a living and we meet Aurie's family. There are surprises and trickery to be found - all of the good sort of course!
