Oh, girls. Ready to find your inner Marilyn Monroe? Want to tantalize, tease and seduce your man – or, at least, leave a lasting impression on every man in the room? Then get this book to help signal your inner siren.

Sirens. They walk into a room and immediately capture the attention of every man there. Sometimes they walk in smelling like Chanel and looking like hot vixen Marilyn Monroe. Other times, they are Plain Janes who possess some distinct quality unknown to fellow females that sends men into a frenzy of trying to please, appease or just .

How do they do it? How do these women who aren’t always gorgeous draw men like flies? And what can the rest of us learn from them?

In this hilarious, but insightful first book from Ellen T. White, the author sets out to help 21st century females find their inner siren – with a little help from some of the most famous vixens in history.

White’s background is fascinating. She comes from a long line of women who attract men like flies to honey (or manure, as my man experience analogy would be). It took her a while to find her inner sexy self, but once she did, she was unstoppable.

She breaks women down into five categories:

Goddess: The unattainable woman who never gives a man an inch, yet he keeps coming back, hoping for scraps of something.

Companion: She’s sexy, self-assured, and man’s best friend. She empathizes with men, which makes her an irresistible catch.

Sex Kitten: Marilyn Monroe. Angelina Jolie. Nuf said.

Competitor: She’s all up in men’s sports. She digs cars and likes to win. She can hang out with the boys, drink beer and tell raunchy jokes. She’s more of a Tom boy than a vixen, but her appeal is just as strong.

Mother: She uses her nature of nurture to make him feel good about himself, and well loved.

Sirens are typically a combination of a few of the categories, and no, they don’t always draw the attention of every man in the room, but they get enough to make other women seethe in their skin. Through examples of well-known sirens like the Mata Hari, Beryl Markham, Greta Garbo and Cleopatra, White tells how the sirens used their wiles to keep the men coming back for more. She includes cute sections on what these lovely ladies would never be caught dead doing. One of the best things she mentions time and again is that to embrace your inner siren, you have to embrace life – and be ready to take risks. Not every siren’s call will beckon a man – or, at least, a good one. And her openness can lead to heartache. 

As I read Simply Irresistible, I could not help but compare it to a book I reviewed last year, 5
