The blurb
Never let go of the one you love
After recent traumatic events, Olly is finding it hard to get his head around what happened. While he tries to deal with a maelstrom of emotions, renovations at The Edge are in full flow, alongside preparations for tenth anniversary celebrations. Joe, his Dom, recognises Olly’s delicate state of mind and does his best to reassure him. A trip to the New Forest with their friends, Aiden and Heath, helps the healing process.
Returning home, Olly and Aiden focus on preparations for the party. When Aiden is called away, Olly takes a walk to clear his head, keeping his eye on a brewing storm. To his horror, he discovers Mark Vickery, an old enemy, has landed on the island by boat and is out for revenge.
With Olly missing and the storm raging, Joe, Heath and Aiden set out on a rescue mission that unfolds in a way none of them expected. Can the storm wash away the past or will Olly and Joe’s future be destroyed by a twist of fate?

My thoughts
Pleasure
and pain…. Pleasure through pain. How appropriate that’s exactly what reading
this book felt like. The pure pleasure of spending time with Olly & Joe,
Aiden & Heath and all their assorted friends has now been tempered by the
pain of having to say goodbye. But then again, I’m sure Joe and Heath wouldn’t
hesitate before explaining that the pain only heightens and confirms the
pleasure.
*Sighs*
All good things must come to an end—or so the saying goes, I’m not at all
convinced. And as series go, Tales from the Edge is most definitely
a wondrous thing and as a result I’m heartbroken that with Binding the Edges we do
indeed reach the conclusion of what has been a joyful and utterly delightful
reading experience.
I’m
so happy that Binding the Edges turned out to be the perfect finale to what
has been an amazing and thoroughly enjoyable journey. In this story the edges
are indeed bound, every thread is beautifully and satisfactory tied off, and
the ending to Olly and Joe’s storyline is as perfect as I could have hoped for.
Of
course these men have a road to travel before they’re allowed to reach their
happily ever after. And what a journey it is—roller coaster ride is probably a
better term. Between the hilarious preparations for the anniversary
celebrations, the kinky times Joe and Olly indulge in every time they have the
opportunity, and danger in the form of deranged Dom Mark Vickery once again
raising its ugly head, the reader is thrown from one emotion into the next with
barely a moment’s respite to catch her breath; delicious.
I
could continue gushing about this book, but I’d rather spend some time and
words declaring my love for this series. For me a book or series of books is a
success when the characters get under my skin, crawl into my heart, and become
so well defined that I know I would recognise them if I ran across them in the
street. And that’s exactly what happened with the men in these books. Maybe they’re
not all equally clear in my mind’s eye but I can’t deny that especially Olly,
Joe, Heath and Aiden have now claimed their place among my favourite characters
ever. The close to perfect combination of romance, kinky sexiness, and suspense
had me hooked from the very first book. And while none of the individual titles
in this series made it on to my ‘extra-special’ list, the Tales from The Edge
series as a whole has found its place near the top of that particular ranking.
No matter how sad I am that this is the last book in this series I have to admit Binding the Edges is a fabulous conclusion to a wonderful series.
