Review - Edging Closer by L.M. Somerton
My rating:
The countdown is on to Joe and Olly's big day. After years together, they're going to get married. There's lots to do. Outfits to plan. Cupcakes to order. What could go wrong? Plenty, it seems. The pair may have thought the past could be put behind them, but a new threat emerges to endanger their happily ever after. This ninth installment concludes the Tales from The Edge series more or less where it began, with Joe and Olly.
Review - Binding the Edges by L.M. Somerton
My rating:
Joe and Olly, along with Heath and Aiden, are looking forward to spending a few days at The Retreat, a new venture by their friend and owner of The Underground, Carey. Joe wants to take Olly's mind off his recent experiences as a hostage, which also means he has no intention of telling his sub that Olly's former tormentor has been released from prison. Once they return to The Edge, it will be a mad scramble to get everything ready for the tenth anniversary of the business.
Review - Driven to The Edge by L.M. Somerton
My rating:
Joe and Olly have been living their happily-ever-after for a couple of years. Joe would like nothing more than to keep his sub close, but Olly is good at his job as a nurse at a nearby military hospital. What starts as a typical day of getting some new patients settled turns into a series of traumatic events for Olly and all the men in his life. Although most of the books in the Tales From The Edge series are more or less standalone, this story is a sequel to the first two books, so you really need to have read the first book, Reaching the Edge, and the second, Living on the Edge, before this one to get a complete understanding of the relationship Joe and Olly have.

Review - Living on the Edge by L.M. Somerton
My rating:
Aiden is an intelligent bratty young university student with skills. He gets caught hacking into corporate computer systems, but instead of sending him to jail, the judge assigns him to work at The Edge, a management retreat for corporate executives, among other things. Heath, one of the owners of The Edge, is in charge of overseeing Aiden's ‘rehabilitation.’ It's obvious from the start that Aiden's attitude will be a big challenge for Heath.
