Molly Reviews: Scorched Edges by L.M. Somerton (Tales from The Edge Book 6)

Blurb:
Love forged in fire is unassailable.

Fireman Salter Beauman, Beau to his friends, has had his eye on cute Marty Standish ever since he helped rescue Marty and his boss from the bombed out rubble of Temple Church. An analyst for the security services, Marty is cute, geeky and submissive through and through—even if he doesn’t know it yet.

With a serial fire starter making inroads into Beau’s life expectancy, he decides that there is no time to waste and introduces Marty to the D/s lifestyle. Marty responds with wide eyes, an insatiable desire to learn and the ability to turn Beau on with nothing more than a wiggle of his slim hips.

But Beau has a second, far more malevolent admirer. ‘See me dance’ is the message left at a series of increasingly dangerous fires. Beau and Marty must work together to catch a psychotic arsonist before their love goes up in flames. Literally.

Reader Advisory: This book contains a scene that includes sexual abuse.

Olin: I’ve lived a closeted life in Northern California until returning to Hell’s Delight. I want to dominate that sinewy cowboy Balt, to force him to comply with me in nasty and wicked scenes. I’m backed up against a wall when I find out Balt wants the same dirty things—to dominate and control.

Never give the devil a ride. He’ll always want the reins.
