The Edge of Dominance (The Doms of Her Life Book 4)

Some SPOILERS......

I feel let down with this final installment in the series. I really liked the first three books, but this one felt contrived and forced. The plot point with Liam's mom being a psychic was just a convenient (and lazy) way to move the plot along without doing the work of actually telling the story. I also thought the story line was predictable and flat. Of course Marlie was the "bad guy". Who couldn't see that one coming? I really wanted to like this one, but it just fell short in too many ways. Bummer.

Liam, Hammer, and Raine have faced many challenges that have threatened to destroy their relationship. But they have made it through all of them and finally they believe the worst is behind them and they can move on with their lives.

But Hammer is haunted by his past and the recent trauma Raine went through, he doesn't know how to deal with everything so he starts to distance himself from Liam and Raine. The distance once again threatens to destroy his relationship because Raine begins to worry that the three of them can't move forward and be a family.

When they are faced with accusations due to Hammers actions years before, their relationship is tested. Someone wants Hammer to pay and they will do anything to make that happen. Once again Hammer believes the best thing for all of them is to leave, run far away from them, but Liam has no plans to let that happen. Together the three of them, along with their closest friends and family work to find the person responsible for this threat and save Hammer, and their future.

We learn more about Hammer and what demons he has due to his past and his dead wife. We learn about Liam and the family Raine knew nothing about. And just as Raine starts to deal with the knowledge of what happened to her family she once again comes face to face with someone who is determined to rescue her from a relationship they believe is dangerous.

We receive some comic relief in this book when Liam's parents arrive for a visit. With the serious and intense story it was nice to have some relief.

Over the course of this series we've seen Raine become a stronger person who isn't afraid all the time to share her true feelings. The authors have done a fantastic job keeping the reader on the edge of their seat, leaving us to wonder what will happen next. While the authors tied up the story and didn't leave the reader hanging like in the previous books. It's still sad to know that the series is over.

The only thing readers can hope for is that the authors will return to this series in the future to tell the stories of a few of the side characters.

This is a fantastic ending to a great series- The Doms of her Life. This is the emotional and roller coaster ending story of Hammer, Raine, and Liam. I have been waiting on pins and needles to see how their love story would end. When we last left them, they got some joyous news and then we the readers were left with an epic cliffhanger…well then this boys gets up back into their life and in a huge way. Life isn’t so good , things have been hard for our fav tricouple but it is not for what you think. They have faced some huge obstacles and that has been weighing on our boys and then Raine has also been dealing with the fallout of what she went thru in book 3 plus feeling her way around with the newness of their coming together, all of them. I Have to say, this book really takes the reader thru the paces and keeps the roller coaster going- up and down, back and forth. And let me tell you, I was at times yelling at my kindle, and then in tears, worried but my favorites authors had to know and drew out the suspense and the angst until the very end. Once again, I loved the character development, the love, and the passion PLUS I loved the new characters that were introduced- meeting Liam’s parents and siblings(his mum is to die for , she is such a lady love), and then Raine has someone that makes a huge impact in the family department show up. Oh boy, that one was touch and go for awhile , when you read , you will know what I mean. The other thing is the new couple that is now on the radar and hopefully there is a new series/spin off from this book. Oh the pain and gain from this tricouple is going to be awesome. There was some inklings from the past book but this book cements it.
Overall, I loved the emotional and beautiful ending we got to our fav couple, Hammer, Raine, and Liam. This is one story you do not want to miss.

My rating: 4.8 stars *****
**I was given an ARC by the author in exchange for an honest review***

Why is Macen suddenly not at home much anymore? Why is he always at work? What happens when Liam and Raine send him a video at work? Why is Macen feeling guilty? Why is Hammer, Macen, staying away from home? When he finally breaks open and explains his absence to Raine and Liam, what happens? What does Raine say to him? Can their relationship get back on an even keel? Someone comes forward, accusing Macen of doing something that he clearly did not do. What is it? Who is it? Who stole the two backups from the November timeframe when Macen first had sex with Raine? What are these people trying to do, and why? As bleak as things get, because of the accusations and the videos, watching what Macen decides he has to do has me bawling. It makes me feel like he has no trust in his relationship with Liam and Raine. He needs to have faith. Will he find that faith? Will he rethink doing something stupid? OH MY GOD! DO NOT ever underestimate Raine and her women's intuition folks! When she gets Seth and her brother River to help her with a little conquest of garnering information from the person she thinks is behind everything going on, well..... You're going to have to read this book to find out. Just ask yourself, will it keep Macen safe or not? DO NOT read it before you've read the first three. This is definitely a story you need to read from the beginning to see how we got to where we are today!

RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin' With M. Brennan.

Wow! Wow! Wow! We've been waiting a long time for this book but it was definitely worth the wait, it is quite simply incredible. I had to go back and read the last few chapters of The Bold and the Dominant to refresh my memory of what happened in the last book, and this one picks up a couple of months after the dramatic events of that book. The Edge of Dominance is an emotional roller coaster ride that had me crying buckets of tears at some points. There are exciting twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat and kept me turning the pages. Just when I thought things were finally going right for the trio, another obstacle was thrown in their path. These three authors work so well together, their writing is slick and seamless.

I'm not going to say too much about the plot as I don't want to accidentally drop spoilers, there is so much going on. Hammer is struggling to cope with his past and the events from the last book. Someone from Raine's past is causing trouble for them, and a mystery figure is threatening their entire future.

We are introduced to some brilliant new characters, including Liam's family - I think I'm in love with his Mum, she's fabulous! The authors also tease us with tension and chemistry filled interactions between Beck (who is one of my favourite characters), Seth and Heavenly - I'm really hoping that they will have their own story soon. This book concludes Hammer, Liam and Raine's story and it's one of the best books that I've read this year - it's a must read. The Edge Of Dominance receives five out of five stars!

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.

I waited a little bit to wrote this review. I wanted to mourn the end of the series and reflect on all I had experienced. I was lucky enough to receive an Advance Reader Copy of The Edge of Dominance. Thank you to the authors for honoring me! This book is the fourth in the series The Doms of Her Life. If you haven't read the first three PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE go and get them. I promise you will enjoy every moment of Hammer, Raine and Liam's ride. Ladies ( Shayla, Jenna and Isabella) bravo. I laughed, cried, cursed, walked away from the book because I was so angry I wanted to smack someone in the book and i was ready to throw the tablet (LOL) but ultimately I savored every word and emotion I was feeling. I wish I had Raine's strength. She is an amazing person. I am happy to say my expectations were meet and while there were many surprises, some things fell as I expected.

I am going to miss the characters because they became almost like family but I did get a couple of new book boyfriends ;) I hope to see them again in their own book or two.

There are deliberately no specific references so y'all can experience this amazing journey your way :) Enjoy the ride!

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

WHAT HAS REALLY WORKED FOR ME

In my opinion, this was the best of the four books. I really like how the story progress until the big climax. How the characters have grown throughout the series.
This is still a huge emotional roller-coaster. We have lots of ups and downs and twists and suspense and angst and love.
This one was so real! We feel their fear, their pain, their sorrow, their love. Their romance is believable.
Up until now they have battled their past, in this one they are also going through present ghosts.
Like always the trio must endure a lot of heartache and persevere.
Along for the ride of the four books we have met so many amazing secondary characters that I have to believe there will be a spin-off series out of this one. It's impossible to think otherwise. I can see a series with River and of course some bits of how our trio is dealing with their lives. Oh, Beck also deserves his story and I already can see the trio.

WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER

First, just a warning to everyone out there, this is not a stand-alone. You must read all four books to understand everything.
Ok, so much happened in this series, only one year? That seems crazy!
Also, I have read all four books this last month, but I would have been a bit mad if I had to wait almost two years for the last book.

I LOVE EPILOGUES, BUT THIS ONE WAS NOT VERY BELIEVABLE A REALLY OVER THE TOP

You MAY read this book because you like the authors; you SHOULD read this book because you have read the rest of the series; but you MUST read this book because you are ready to ride one of the craziest, emotional rides of your life!!!

This is the conclusion of Macen, Liam and Raine’s story and you don’t want to miss it. Shayla, Jenna and Isabella wrote an amazing series that takes you through the life of three very different people who choose to be themselves and live a unique life.

Raine may come off as a quiet, obedient submissive with the heart of gold but she has no problem keeping her two men in line. Raine is a woman who’s been through hell but she doesn’t let that stop her from having the life she wants.

Macen the brooding dominant alpha male with a past that is holding him back from taking what he wants. He’s had enough heartache in his life and you’ll understand why he was so hesitant to take a chance. He is a man who loves with all that he is, and Liam and Raine are the lucky ones who get to receive his love.

Liam is the glue that holds the trio together but don’t take him for the one to sit back and watch, he’s just as dominant as Macen. He shares a past with Macen and they’re as close to being brothers as you could get, but Raine is the one to bring them together making the three of them a family.

What I love about this story is the fact that three very different people found what they wanted out of life and took a chance on love. It’s not easy but nothing worth having is easy. The love they share is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. They’ve had to face their worst fears but make it through and it brought them closer. I couldn’t help but fall in love with these characters. There is just something about this trio that pulls you in and holds a place in your heart. Shayla, Jenna and Isabella introduce us to Liam’s family in this book and they are definitely not like most families you meet but they do know how to make an entrance. Liam’s mom has a gift which comes in handy when they need it but she also shares with Raine that Liam has the gift too.

This conclusion is not only full of steamy, hot and sexy alpha males who bring you too you knees but they also warm your heart with how they care so much for Raine. Shayla, Jenna and Isabella stay true to their story and bring their readers fantasies to life.

Friends Till The End Book Blog: [...]

An EPIC series conclusion to an EPIC trio of characters! I can only hope that Shayla, Jenna, and Isabella have more up their sleeves because ‘The Doms of Her Life’ series was incredibly entertaining, super suspenseful, and ridiculously SEXY! THE EDGE OF DOMINANCE is the fourth and final installment of the series and it couldn’t have ended any better. It was sad to say goodbye to these characters, but my heart is full that they received the happily ever after that they deserved.

“She craved their three hearts coming together to beat as one…”

It’s been one Hell of a rollercoaster ride of FEELS with Raine, Liam, and Hammer. They’ve battled demons in the past, but nothing will prepare them for the possible heartache to come. In this series ender, we get EVERYTHING on Macen. His demons run deeper than you would’ve thought. GUILT is his biggest demon and he can’t seem to shake it. This beautiful trio’s love has been tested before, but they are in for an even greater challenge. The ghosts of the past and the guilt over what could have been is not the only thing to come up against their future happiness. Yet another enemy seems determined to ruin their lives in the worst possible way. With their happily every after so out of reach, sacrifices must be made, hearts will shatter, and love will be tested more than ever.

Black, Jacob, and LaPearl have come together to create something magnificent with this series and these wonderful characters. Raine, Liam, and Hammer embedded themselves in my heart long ago, but with this emotional and final installment of the series, I’ve fallen in love all over again. These are characters that you want to root for. Their love is the kind of love that you crave. Their connection is unbreakable and their chemistry is undeniable. This series definitely SIZZLES!

There is SO MUCH potential for a spin-off series and I can only hope that these characters ‘talk’ them into it. Because I want more! I will ALWAYS want more from these authors…ALWAYS!

*Gifted copy provided by the authors in exchange for an honest review*

Have you read One Dom to Love? Have you read The Young and the Submissive? Have you read The Bold and the Dominant? If you haven't that is the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd books in this series, can you please just trust me when I say that this series should be read in order. So if you haven't read those please don't read this entire review. Just take the humble advice of a huge romance novel fan and purchase your copy of One Dom to Love, and jump on this roller coaster of crazy love, jealousy, and a hopefully forever kinda love. You won't regret it.

The trio of authors took this one to a whole new level of awesomeness...even more so than the first three. They left us with news that threw us for a loop and had us like "Doctor Say WHAT?" This book had heart wrenching hurdles that gut punched me as Hammer faces consequences caused by a unnamed villain. I wasn't in tears, but it was damn close and god I just had to keep reading cause I couldn't leave it where it was where my beloved characters were in turmoil.

Once again I loved the writing and how the authors planned out the series. This once kept moving, but also to have the book developing at some points it felt like time had stopped at those pivotal moments of suspense or when a character was going through turmoil. All three of the main characters - Hammer, Raine, and Liam - have some pivotal moments in this books. We get to meet Liam's lovely Mum and Da and discover some family dynamics that will have you cracking up. The scene where we first meet them had me laughing out loud for sure. Unlike the other books not too much physical violence, which I was happy about, but again the strife, turmoil, and suspense damn near had me jumping to the end cause I had to know everything was going to be alright.

How weird is it that these three authors had me wondering if Hammer, Raine, and Liam were going to get their happily ever after or not???

Once again I say to you if you love romance, steamy love scenes, struggle, suspense, some kink, and funny Irish parents then this is your series. With the Kindle version selling at 4.99 per book it is a deal, and with the 1st book free...yep you read that right FREE you got nothing to lose by giving this series a try. Well it was free as of this post. I loved this series the first time I read them, and I love it just as much now that this series of characters has come to an end.

I want more of the Doms of Her Life world. Please please please awesome trio of authors. Have mercy on us and give us some more.

I can’t even begin to explain how excited I was to read this book. This entire series blew me away and with how the previous book ended, I knew we were in for a wild ride. And I was not disappointed at all. It felt like the perfect way for these characters to come together, facing another, and hopefully their last, hurdle and fight their way to happiness. It was beyond what I was expecting, and I’m almost sad when it ended. I started off this series feeling a certain way about these characters, and now I want to wrap them all up in blankets and keep them forever.

Once again, the writing was just stellar. From the drama, to the sex, to the dialogue and the humour, there wasn’t anything about this book that lacked. You’re kept at the edge of your seat the entire time, and just when you think things are going to calm down and work out, another hit comes. There’s nothing I love more than the unexpected happening and watching the characters try to navigate the rocky waters together. Raine, Liam and Hammer did just that.

The character development in this series is just outstanding. I remember the days I despised Hammer for being a selfish ass. Slowly but surely I fell in love with the character, especially when you find out in great detail about his past. He finally opens up to Raine, explaining his childhood, his relationships and why he acted the way he did. It was so moving the way he finally completely trusted Raine to give that part of himself over to her. Absolutely beautiful.

And Liam, lord I was not expecting some of those interesting tidbits about Liam with the arrival of his parents. All three of them were so well flushed out and developed, growing along with one another as they dealt with each situation. And not only them, but the secondary characters as well. Beck has been such a great surprise, and you can tell since meeting Heavenly he’s even changed. Seth, much of the same. I’m more than intrigued to know more about those three, and hope we catch a glimpse of what I feel to be an interesting story there.

If you’re looking for a series to get immersed in, The Doms of Her Life is the series you need to get your hands on. Each book of the series is amazing in its own right, and all together? One of the most well planned, well written series I’ve had the pleasure of reading.

This was a great wrap-up to an intriguing series, full of suspense, emotional upheaval, and for those who can't pass up the paranormal, a touch of ESP.

Macen Hammer, Raine Kendall, and Liam O'Neill have moved past some major hurdles on their way to becoming a threesome, not the least of which was Raine being forced to kill her worthless father after he kidnapped her. Hammer is having some issues from that event, but the three are working toward togetherness when a new threat looms and he is arrested as a pedophile. Pushing for the arrest at first is Raine's brother, River, who has been missing for years and doesn't realize what he left his sisters to face when he joined the army.

But even after River realizes that Raine was a consenting adult when she began living with the men and withdraws the charges, someone is coming after Hammer. Can the trio discover and thwart their enemy while battling their own demons in order to find an HEA?

I liked all the main characters. All are flawed but heroic in their own ways. River adds a new dimension-and possibly a way to move into a new series? The plan to take down the enemy was priceless, and as always, the sex scenes were steamy. While I could have done without Liam and his family having “the sight”, it was a harmless touch of the paranormal.

Overall a definite five star read and one with a satisfying conclusion to the entire series.

Review copy provided for an honest review.

*4.5 stars*

I struggled at times with the balance between emotions and heat in this series that had three lovers at the heart of it. Early on, I had a hard time connecting with the characters, even though they shared their feelings I didn’t seem to feel them the way I needed to. Somewhere along the way, though, Macen, Liam and Raine found their groove, discovered a relationship that brought them together as equals in love and life. At that point I couldn’t do anything but fully embrace them and the love that suddenly felt emotionally just right…

This is the last one in the series and I am sad to let this trio go. To describe their relationship as rocky would be a huge understatement. With angst to spare, if one wasn’t arguing with another, then they were all at odds with each other. Over the top drama could be the textbook definition of the journey they took from friends to enemies to lovers and back and forth more than once. With this instalment, family played a bigger part than ever before. Liam’s family brought a touch of the fey as well as parental love, acceptance and unwavering support. Something they all needed desperately.

I became completely lost in their story this time around and laughed and cried with them as they fought through their hardest battle yet to enjoy an ending that capped the series perfectly. I hope this trio of authors unites again!

**Reviewed for Nerdy, Dirty & Flirty**

The Edge of Dominance is the fourth in the The Doms of Her Life series. I highly recommend that you read the first three books in this series. This is a continuation of Liam, Hammer and Raine's saga.

I love the first three books and couldn't wait for the final chapter. Raine has been claimed by Liam and Hammer. She's pregnant and doesn't know who's the father, nor do they care. Hammer struggles with Raine's abduction. He blames himself as her protector and unfortunately it only gets worse.

This story had it all! Suspense, heartbreak, drama, twists and lots and lots of pages. In fact the story is 445 pages long. Here's a break down:

- Hammer's fear and self-loathing nearly tears the triad apart.
- There is an attempted abduction of Raine her by brother River.
- Liam's unknown psychic abilities are revealed from unexpected visit by his parents.
- Hammer is arrested because he cared for Raine. (Of course there's more to this but you'll have to read the book.)
- The truth is revealed about Hammer's deceased wife. (It's a shocker)
- A woman scorned is a very bad thing. (So is too much plastic surgery.)
- True love wins in the end.

Liam, Hammer and Raine's love is strong and seeps into your pours as you read their dramatic ending. The authors did a wonderful job filling my heart with love and happiness after the suspense had pulled me apart at the seems. 4 Stars!

YI, this is a series of interconnecting books. For the full effect, you should read them in order. Could you pick this one up and enjoy? Of course you could...but these are so well written and so enjoyable why would you read just one?!!!

I LOVE this series. I don't know what else to say. When you take these three awesome authors and put them together they give you the best of EVERY world.
We've been following the owner of Shadows, A BDSM club, Macen Hammerman in his quest to find love.
Well, he's finally got Raine and Liam right where he needs them. At home waiting for him every single day. Only he can't make himself go. He's constantly reminded of Raine's past, his past with Juliet and him not being able to save either one from the crap in their lives. He feels guilty that Raine had to face her past and kill her father.
In EOD we get to meet Liam's mom and dad! What a riot those two are.
And who knew Liam was a little bit "different"
Someone has it out for Macen. The cops and the feds come calling and Macen's charged with all sorts of things including human trafficking!
This story is all about the suspense. There's still our hot n sexy as heck threesome action. But the suspense, that's where it's at!
As always the writing is Excellent...the characters stay true to themselves and each other...the story line is Fabulous!
A true 5 star read

Huge applause to 3 great authors. WOW!!! Talk about saving the best for last!

The Edge of Dominance, the fourth in the Doms of Her Life really connects the dots for the heroes and heroine. Hammer, Liam and Raine have been through so much as individuals. This book shows how well matched they are to each other as they face their most difficult challenges. Liam has to learn to accept himself and does so gracefully. His Mom and Dad play a subtle but strong, supportive role and they are so lovable you wish you knew them personally. Raine has to be the strongest she had ever been and her constant reinforcement of her love for both men unites them totally. Hammer, the toughest of all, learns to finally accept love. His tear-jerking heart-to-heart with Raine really emphasizes how he grew to be the man he is. The bond between him and Liam is now so strong nothing can separate them nor touch the love they both have for Raine. The three complete each other.

A definite honorable mention goes to Beck and Seth. What great, supportive, go-to-the wall for you friends. I love these 2 characters and wait on the edge of my seat for their book. Their humor is laugh out loud funny. Also looking forward to seeing more of Dean and River. There is a lot going on at Shadows . . .

I had so many emotions floating around while reading this book--in one sitting!! I didn't think Liam would realize his gift, I wanted to hit Hammer over the head and scream "nooooooo," I wanted to BE Raine!!! Then, at one point, I really fell hard for Beck! I never laughed til I cried until I read Chapter 17. Thanks Ladies for writing such a great story.

Oh my goodness, This incredible fourth installment in The Doms of Her Life series was full of nail-biting drama and twists that I did NOT expect! I felt like Hammer, Raine, and Liam grew so much in this book. They are stronger, more potent together, and all determined to do their best to get their happily ever after.

The Edge Of Dominance was, I thought, more emotional than the last book in the series. I found myself crying with everything that was happening. Yet, I also found myself awed and amazed by Raine. She changed so much and has become even stronger willed and I loved that! And we learn a thing or two of Liam that had me shocked and incredibly intrigued. There were twists I did NOT expect...AT ALL in this type of story, but some how, it not only worked, it made the story even better.

Lets not forget the incredible sexy scenes too! These scenes were more loving and sensual and divine. Sweet, ULTRA HOT, and tender, I found myself constantly nibbling my lip and taking small breaks just to give myself time to cool down. And the ending? DAMN, IT WAS SOOOO GOOD! I am going to miss this outstanding series. I give The Edge Of Dominance a VERY SEXY FIVE SHOOTING STARS! With all the unexpected twists and surprises, it should get a TEN but a FIVE should do nicely. I HIGHLY Recommend this series to all those menage lovers like myself.

Liam , Raine , and Macen have been through so much together and they are still holding together as a couple because they keep communicating. They thought that all their troubles were done but now someone is targeting Macen and they are going at him full force trying to destroy his family.

Macen cant stand that his family could be broken apart when they have worked so hard to get where they are especially with everything that Liam and Raine have endured already. But Macen now faces his own struggles can he rely on his family or does he push them away. He climbs some very tall emotional mountains but his family and friends stick by him through the whole time.

The amazing supporting cast of characters in this story really helps get you interested in wanting to know more about them and hope we hear more about these characters in the future. I was in love with the characters of Seth, Beck, River and Heavenly.

I would highly recommend this book to people who have loved reading other books by Shayla Black. It did not disappoint at all. I truly hope there will be more books to come. I really wish there was more to read in these books it was were very hard to put down.

I do recommend that you read these books in this series in order.

I received this book as an ARC from Author

As sad as I am to see this end, Shayla Black, Jenna Jacob, and Isabella LaPearl have truly outdone themselves and written an outstanding book to complete Hammer, Raine, and Liam’s story. This book is like a roller coaster going up and down, taking the reader through a myriad of emotions, and you just never want to get off.

The book begins where The Bold and the Dominant leaves off. These three individuals have faced some major obstacles and are dealing with the aftermath to have the life they want. In this book, they are facing the ultimate test of their love as the past comes back to rear its ugly head and who knows what will happen. Does love really conquer all? Are they strong enough to survive? Fortunately they will have some help from friends, Seth and Beck, and their relatives but will it be enough?

The intensity of this story just sucks you in and you cannot stop reading until you are finished. Make sure you have some tissues handy. This is definitely one series that you do not want to miss and should be read from the beginning, starting with the first book, One Dom to Love, because it is not a standalone. There should really be a higher rating than five stars because in this case, it is not enough.

I received this as an arc for an honest review.

Now that Macen “Hammer” Hammerman, Raine Kendall, and Liam O’Neill have finally put their pasts behind them and are very clearly together, it’s just their luck that someone is attempting to change the past by righting old wrongs. Unfortunately, the timing of this action is just as Macen, Raine and Liam are moving ahead as a triad, and completely jeopardizes their future.

But this shadowy figure isn’t the only thing that jeopardizes their future—Macen’s battling long-buried demons that have risen to the surface, while Raine desperately tries to forget her past. Poor Liam is just trying to hold their family intact. But is it enough? Or will the past finally put an end to their future?

In this final installment of the Doms of Her Life series, I couldn’t help but root for Macen, Liam and Raine to finally find the happiness together that they so deserve. Man, some of the details revealed about their pasts were so heartbreaking, but their love for each other really was the glue that tried to keep them together. At points throughout the book, I found myself laughing, sniffling, grinning, angry and angsty. I simply couldn’t wait until the end to find out if Macen, Liam and Raine found their HEA.

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.

What an ending to a truly amazing story. Hammer, Raine and Liam have had a rocky road since the beginning and when everything seems to be finally going in their favor, fate tosses another road block in their way.

Not that everything was all peaches and cream before the bottom fell out. Hammer felt that his roughness would be too much for Raine during the pregnancy so he stays away. Raine -- as any pregnant woman would -- sees it as "he doesn't want me anymore" and feels abandoned. Liam does his best to reassure her - and himself - that Hammer does love her and is excited about the pregnancy.

Just as they are getting through that, Raine's brother shows up believing the worst about Hammer and even gets the police involved. As the trio tries to fight the demons inside them and the forces outside, they get a boost in that Liam's parents arrive to give them much needed support.

Its hard to believe that this series has reached its end and it will always hold a special place in my heart. It makes me wish that the authors would post/write seasonal novellas so we can see how the trio navigates life, and love, with their growing family.

What a fantastic ending to Raine, Hammer and Liam's story! Quite an emotional journey to be sure! The road the three main characters traveled was long and rocky-filled with pitfalls and whatever common descriptions of a tough road anyone might use. All three had major issues and lots of baggage when their journey together began, but together they managed to fight through to a wonderful "happily ever after." That being said, I felt as though I made this journey with them as I read their story. I laughed, cried, got angry, felt fearful, felt happy and basically wanted to be there for them. They grew in their love and in their trust and became one in heart, mind and soul.

In this fourth and final book of this storyline, The Edge of Dominance, the three authors, Shayla Black, Jenna Jacob and Isabella LaPearl outdid themselves with the heart-stopping storyline which was filled with suspense, hot sex and a little "Irish Sight." Together the three authors created a brilliant ending to a love story that wows the reader. I sure hope Shayla, Jenna and Isabella plan to continue their collaboration and tell us the stories of Beck, Seth, Heavenly, River and Pike.

Absolutely an amazing ending to such and epic love story, I prolonged reading this book as I didn't want to read the end of Liam, Hammer and Raine's story to end, and there are no words to really describe the feeling that ran through my heart while reading this ending.

This is book four in the series and reading books one through three are a must before diving into book four, book one is where Raine, Liam and Hammer's story starts.

For most of this book we see Hammer pulling away from the love and relationship that he has with Raine and Liam, he feels that he doesn't know how to be around Raine after the events with her father that happened in book two (don't want to spoil the book if you have not read book three), and Raine feels abandoned and hurt by Hammer.

I spent most of this book holding my breath waiting for the other shoe to drop and when it does, I was shocked and could not believe what was happening, it was so heart breaking for me.

I am sad that Liam, Raine and Hammer's story has come to an end, I would love for one more book, their love story has taken us on an epic journey that I will not soon forget.

I received a copy of this story in return for an honest review.

And the roller coaster that is the life of Raine, Liam and Hammer continues with this final installment of their lives. I hope that Ms. Black, Ms. Jacob and Ms. Lapearl will continue in this world but that is another topic. This review is about The Edge of Dominance and I must say I loved what these ladies gave us. There were ups and downs and twists and turns. I laughed, I cried and I rooted for Liam, Raine and Hammer to beat the odds. These characters continue to learn the intricacies of their relationship. None of them have been successful in the past so it really is a learning curve and a steep one at that. But together they are managing, even with the punches life kept throwing they learned to lean on each other. I think of the series this was my favorite by far. Together Raine, Liam and Hammer weathered the storms and found just how well the complemented each other. This story was a thrill a minute and well worth the wait.

HOLY SMOKES what a book!! These authors are SO talented! I had my mouth open wide while reading books 1, 2, 3 and thought there's no way book 4 could be as twisty turny...yea I was wrong!!

Just when you think since Raine's father is dead that her, Hammer and Liam can have their baby and their happily ever after...nope! In this book River, Raine's brother makes an appearance and appears to be as bad as her father! Is he? Or is he really? Or is his concern genuine?

They just cannot catch a break in life! This book, as are the other 3, will have you captivated and wanting to read faster to get to the end, yet slow because you don't want it to end! It's a nail biting book, that's for sure (as was the whole series). Such a super hot series, with more twists and turns!! I love the relationship between Hammer, Liam and Raine and their protectiveness of her no matter what! I also was happy to see Raine grow as a person and not freak and run every time something went wrong!!

GREAT BOOK!!

What a mind-blowing conclusion to such an amazing series! I must say that this has been one of my favorite series and while the reaching the conclusion is so bitter-sweet, it was for sure epic! This one is one hell of a ride and once I reached the end I really didn't want to get off. These characters are the best and I will miss them. Liam is the sweetest and most in-tune person. Oh and let me not forget sexy as can be. Raine is one strong gal who will fight tooth and nail for her men. And then we have Macen...swoon! He's... Well, he's... He's got me speechless. And all the supporting characters were so great! I loved them all!! Can't wait to see what River's story is...just sayin. So def a Must-Read!!!

The Edge of Dominance is book four in The Doms of Her Life Series and is definitely not a standalone. The whole series is amazing, but this book surpassed everything I wanted out of this series.

This book picks up a little after the last book and lots of things have changed. Raine and Hammer seemed to have switch positions when it comes to communication. It’s now Hammer that has a problem communicating his fears and there are a lot of them. Liam and Hammer almost lost Raine and they are not taking any chances with her. Nightmares, guilt, insecurities…it’s all there in one wild ride. Nothing is ever easy with these three, so be prepared. The surprises these wonderful authors has in store for you, will literally stop your heart. It’s not an easy road, but it’s worth it…so worth it!

Erotic, freeing, and beautiful are the three words that spring to mind when I think about this series. A must-read definitely!

I enjoyed this book. It was a double edge sword in fact. I never wanted the book to end, although I wanted all the answers.
I wanted Hammer, Liam and Raine to get their HEA. At the same time I didn't want to stop reading.
So much happens in this book.
The arrival of of her brother River. Who did cause some very serious problems. catastrophic actually. I wanted to hate him but eventually he changed my mind.
A few times I wanted to throw my kindle. I was feeling every emotion going.
Then the arrival of Liam's Parents Bryn and Duncan. I just loved them. Bryn can see things before they happen. She is a fey. Their introduction into the book was brilliant and helped with some of the answers.
Inbetween the all the angst, you get glimpses of Heavenly, Beck and Seth. You know that a brilliant story is waiting to be told!
I think River is also on the cards. Well maybe it was something Bryn said.
An excellent read.

Kindle Edition (edit)
Review I just finished this final installment of Doms of her Life and it was a wonderful conclusion to a marvelous series. As with the previous 3 books, l laughed, I cried and experienced all kinds of emotions in between. There seems to be something new around every corner and you never know what was coming next!

I loved Liam's parents, especially his mom. She was a trip! They were not at all what I expected, but so much more. River wasn't what I expected either, and at first I wanted to kick his ass. Thank God everything finally worked out and he accepted Raine and her life with Liam and Macen.

If you haven't read the first 3 books be sure to get them first, since one picks up where the last one left off. You won't be disappointed. Watching the characters grow and develop was great, and getting to know the secondary characters was a treat. I certainly hope these authors have plans to write their stories. Thanks again for a terrific read! (less)

Explosive ending to the four part THE DOMS OF HER LIFE series! It’s just as steamy as what we’ve grown accustomed to as the series progressed, plus it has a lot of angst, intrigue and healing taking place!

As submissive Raine Kendall sets out to live her happily-ever-after with her two doms, Macen “Hammer” Hammerman and Liam O’Neill, life just keeps slapping them in the face! As if what they already went through wasn’t enough, someone from Raine’s past reappears to cause another ruckus that brings the cards crumbling down around them!

Just when they think they may have calmed the waters, it gets even worse, and this time, they might not be able to fix it! Will they be split up before they can embark on the best years of their life, or will the truth win out in the end and pave the way for them to ride off into the sunset together?

This is the final book in the Dom of Her Life series! It continues the story of Raine, Liam and Macem. It seems that as they overcome one obstacle, another just pops up right away. The final book provided a lot of suspense of what is happening, the emotions each character experiences, the doubts and sacrifices that they are willing to make, and of course the love that the 3 have for each other. It also brought Liam's family into the storyline and his special talent. I thought his special talent was entertaining and provided some relief to the tension that they were all experiencing. It also showcase other characters that have been in the previous books and hopefully they will get stories of their own soon! I thoroughly enjoyed this series and all the twists and turns that happened to the characters until they finally get their HEA.

The Edge of Dominance was everything I expected and more. I cried, laugh and at times was really angry at events that was threatening their HEA. The growth of Raine was great and you still have to love your two favorite dominants although Seth and Becks are really close and might have a slight edge. I have always loved these two and I can only hope that we get to see their story. I will have to say the story took a different turn than I expected and even though you know they will eventually end up with their well-deserved HEA it was a bumpy road for a while. This book was brilliant and it was bitter sweet for me because I really wanted to have closure on this trio I wanted more of the story and I see several hints to a few characters that can have future stories. The epilogue was great and in true fashion we were left with a little suspense.

I don't even know where to start with this one! I've raved about the first three books thinking that it couldn't possibly make me love these characters more than I do but then Shayla Black goes and blows me away! Can I pretty please have Seth?! Ok but really I started this series not thinking much about Beck. I found I didn't like him and couldn't identify with his character but boy has that made a complete turn around! I couldn't love that character more. As with the earlier books I found myself tearing up. Not only did that ring true for this story but I then found myself laughing hysterically. "Quick. Someone call National Geographic!" I died with that one. So many great things about this series. If you haven't read these books yet run and grab them because you are seriously missing out on a great story!

The Edge of Dominance was a great read and is a continuation of the story of Macen, Liam, and Raine. These three finally admit they have fallen in love and cannot live without each other. They all three need each other to be truly happy. However, with all stories, there is a twist and with all romances, there are bumps along the way. Right when you think Macen has gotten over the ghost in his closet, something else seems to jump out. However, Macen does not like to rely on others but that is what Liam and Raine are for. Will Macen lean on them or will he try to do this all on his own? Will these three ever truly be happy or will there always be someone or something from their past to try and stand in the way of happiness?

***I had the pleasure of receiving an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***. This book wraps up the relationship between Raine, Liam and Macen. I enjoyed the storyline and how the book flowed. Raine has grown into her own independence and Liam and Macen understanding her need for complete trust. I loved how this book answers all the hanging questions from the other books. I would like to have known EXACTLY how this ends instead of how it did (read the ending to get my meaning). I SO love Liam's mom. She was so funny. I hope these ladies to a spin-off book with Seth, Beck, Pike and River. GREAT JOB SHAYLA BLACK, JENNA JACOB AND ISABELLA LAPEARL!!!

I devoured this book in less than 12 hours! To say that I was excited for this is an understatement. Book 3 left us with a very big cliffhanger. The Edge of Dominance is beautiful and heart wrenching. The trials of life haven't stopped for Hammer, Liam, and their Raine. Their relationship faces the ultimate tests of strength and love. You will be on an emotional roller coaster of the best kind! Read this book with a box of tissues and a sham-wow- you'll need both! This was the perfect ending to the saga for this trio of characters but I'm hoping that there is more to come from this series as I felt like we were being set up to have more from Seth, Beck, and Heavenly. Kudos to Shayla Black, Jenna Jacobs, and Isabella LaPearl for a fantastic read.

Shayla, Jenna and Isabella, you have outdone yourself and written a masterpiece. I laughed, I cried, I was sad, I was joyous, I was madder than hell and happier than a hog in slop while reading the book. Got to say, I my humble opinion, it's your best work ever. The characters are so rich and multilayered. The storyline is superb with the right mix of steamy romance and suspense. Macen, Raine and Liam's lives are so inextricably intertwined that they are only whole when all three are together. Again, I love the secondary character Beck and sincerely hope we will be seeing more of him in the future.

This series started out a little slow for me but holy crap by this time I read the fourth book I was fully, and gladly, invested in reading their story! Can I just say I loved Liam's mom? She is the best! I wanted to yell at them, cry for the, laugh with them and holy smokes is it hot! I loved how their story evolved and became them, there is so much passion, and not just steamy passion (which there is plenty of!) but passion to make a relationship, or relationships in this case, the best it can be and it shows a passion for life as well. I am incredibly glad I read this series!!

What an amazing ending to the Doms of Her Life series! All throughout the book I was laughing, crying, or cussing. Words cannot do The Edge of Dominance justice. Describing the multitude of emotions that overcome you as you read this is a difficult feat. All the heartache, jealousy, fights, passion, love, and worrying has led up to this final book. The authors do not disappoint with the conclusion to the story of our beloved Liam, Macen, and Raine. If you are already a fan of the series this is hands down a must read. If you have not started to read the series, I would recommend it!

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This series is an emotional rollercoaster! Happy, sad, laughing and crying. I have been a fan of Shayla's for years, I can't read her stories fast enough... But these ladies together are a killer combo!
This was a fantastic conclusion to this chapter of their lives... I'm hoping we get to share in the next chapter. Possibly in Seth and Beck's book?
If you haven't read this series yet, don't wait any longer! One click all 4 books right now! I promise you won't be disappointed!

Get read to laugh, cry, scream and get so mad you'll want to shoot someone. In the conclusion of this wonderful series you won't be able to read fast enough. But in the end your heart will melt at the joy and love found for three unforgetable ceractors. Join in the fun and don't miss the exciting fenally to an amazing series.

WOW!!!! Just...WOW!! What a gloriously erotic, thrilling, exciting, emotional way to finish one of the best series out there...Shayla Black, Jenna Jacob, and Isabella LaPearl brought it all to the table with this finale. This review has 5 stars - I would have given it 10 if it would have let me!!

Definitly the best of the series. This is book 4 in the Doms of Her Life series and concludes the story of Hammer, Liam and Raine. Glad we were able to get a little more insight into Hammer's background. Hopefully we will get see other books about the secondary characters Beck, Seth and Heavenly.

A great end to this series. I laughed cried fretted and cheered. The story drew you in from where book 3 left off. The growth between the 3 of them was lovely to read. It is well worth the read and the set up for a spin off was nicely done. The entire series is well worth the time to read. Great job by the authors as nothing from the beginning to the end didn't work from steamy scenes, the bdsm and the romance and friendship of the cast of characters. A well crafted story.

Macen is being charged with several allegations and Raine and Liam is doing everything they can to help him. The person behind it is someone Raine hoped would stand by her.

I'm sitting here with stars in my eyes which happens every time I read something from this author. What's not to love about this story, hot scenes, action and a little supernatural twist.........and don't forget a lot of love.

This is book 4 and what a delightful ending to the story of 3 people falling in love. I've been waiting for the end of this story since I read the third book. Even with stars in my eyes I feel like I've just said goodbye to 3 friends I won't ever see again, in other words I feel a little sad.

The writing style is so engaging you can't help be dragged in to the story, and the storyline is great, it all comes together in the end with some of the characters from previous books in this series. Liam and Macen's past is also revealed in this book so I felt that I got more understanding to Macen's behaviour.

There is no unnecessary descriptions of surroundings and there are lots of dialogues, which if you read my reviews before, you know I love.

I could write a whole book about this series I think but I like short to the point reviews so I try to keep mine that way too. I just have one more thing to say; Liam's mother Bryn was a twist I really really loved in this last book.

I laughed, cried, cringed and loved every minute of this book.

This is the final installment of Liam, Raine, and Macen's story and it was by far my favorite. In this book, Liam, Raine, and especially Macen and dealing with Raines abduction and trauma at the hands of her father. They each handle it and Raine's pregnancy differently. Just as they start to move on with their lives, individuals from their past set out to destroy them. I loved meeting Liam's parents, however, they are nothing like I expected!! I really hope there are future books for the side characters that I fell in love with.

There were so many twists in this book, I almost got whiplash. This trio of authors pulled every emotion from me with this series. Macen, Liam and Raine go through heaven and hell to be together. You've seen all three of these people grow throughout this series into the great family they are today. Beck is the sadist when he was introduced in book 1, but there are quite a few more complicated layers to him in book 4. I adored Liam's mum. I really want to meet his sisters.

I'm going to miss them, but hopefully we'll get updates on the Hammerman-O'Neil family.

I can't wait to see what's in store for Beck, Seth and Heavenly.

First off I love this book and hope that they creat a sequel for the other characters that we've come to know and love.
Hammer,Liam, and Raine have withstood kidnapping and murder since they have all come together. It just makes their love and respect that much stronger. The love they have is proof that you can overcome all obstacles and survive and become stronger for it. I'm really going to miss this series.
Thank you for an entertaining time.

Macen , Liam and Raine have come so far! I was hooked on book one and these authors keep delivering. I really hope we get at least two more books out of this series. I can actually see four more but that is me. I can't wait for the next one. If you like hot scenes and heart warming and wrenching stories this series is for you. Start at the beginning you will not be disappointed. Write on women! Until the next one. I loved it.

This book brings to a head the FBI charges against Macen. The group works very hard to get the charges dropped but it looks like Macen will go to prison for 30 yrs. Raine is pregnant and so upset she is having trouble eating. Will she, Macen, and Liam last as a unit ? Will Macen end up in jail ? Will Raine have her baby ok ?

I enjoy reading this book and I hope the story continues and we find out who Raine marrys legally. And some more heated story of the honeymoon to Paris. And more about baby #3 on the way, I have always hated cliff hangers so I hope to hear if book 5 in the making soon.

Why is Macen suddenly not at home much anymore? Why is he always at work? What happens when Liam and Raine send him a video at work? Why is Macen feeling guilty? Why is Hammer, Macen, staying away from home? When he finally breaks open and explains his absence to Raine and Liam, what happens? What does Raine say to him? Can their relationship get back on an even keel? Someone comes forward, accusing Macen of doing something that he clearly did not do. What is it? Who is it? Who stole the two backups from the November timeframe when Macen first had sex with Raine? What are these people trying to do, and why? As bleak as things get, because of the accusations and the videos, watching what Macen decides he has to do has me bawling. It makes me feel like he has no trust in his relationship with Liam and Raine. He needs to have faith. Will he find that faith? Will he rethink doing something stupid? OH MY GOD! DO NOT ever underestimate Raine and her women's intuition folks! When she gets Seth and her brother River to help her with a little conquest of garnering information from the person she thinks is behind everything going on, well..... You're going to have to read this book to find out. Just ask yourself, will it keep Macen safe or not? DO NOT read it before you've read the first three. This is definitely a story you need to read from the beginning to see how we got to where we are today!

RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin' With M. Brennan.

I can’t even begin to explain how excited I was to read this book. This entire series blew me away and with how the previous book ended, I knew we were in for a wild ride. And I was not disappointed at all. It felt like the perfect way for these characters to come together, facing another, and hopefully their last, hurdle and fight their way to happiness. It was beyond what I was expecting, and I’m almost sad when it ended. I started off this series feeling a certain way about these characters, and now I want to wrap them all up in blankets and keep them forever.

Once again, the writing was just stellar. From the drama, to the sex, to the dialogue and the humour, there wasn’t anything about this book that lacked. You’re kept at the edge of your seat the entire time, and just when you think things are going to calm down and work out, another hit comes. There’s nothing I love more than the unexpected happening and watching the characters try to navigate the rocky waters together. Raine, Liam and Hammer did just that.

The character development in this series is just outstanding. I remember the days I despised Hammer for being a selfish ass. Slowly but surely I fell in love with the character, especially when you find out in great detail about his past. He finally opens up to Raine, explaining his childhood, his relationships and why he acted the way he did. It was so moving the way he finally completely trusted Raine to give that part of himself over to her. Absolutely beautiful.

And Liam, lord I was not expecting some of those interesting tidbits about Liam with the arrival of his parents. All three of them were so well flushed out and developed, growing along with one another as they dealt with each situation. And not only them, but the secondary characters as well. Beck has been such a great surprise, and you can tell since meeting Heavenly he’s even changed. Seth, much of the same. I’m more than intrigued to know more about those three, and hope we catch a glimpse of what I feel to be an interesting story there.

If you’re looking for a series to get immersed in, The Doms of Her Life is the series you need to get your hands on. Each book of the series is amazing in its own right, and all together? One of the most well planned, well written series I’ve had the pleasure of reading.

The Edge of Dominance is the fourth in the The Doms of Her Life series. I highly recommend that you read the first three books in this series. This is a continuation of Liam, Hammer and Raine's saga.

I love the first three books and couldn't wait for the final chapter. Raine has been claimed by Liam and Hammer. She's pregnant and doesn't know who's the father, nor do they care. Hammer struggles with Raine's abduction. He blames himself as her protector and unfortunately it only gets worse.

This story had it all! Suspense, heartbreak, drama, twists and lots and lots of pages. In fact the story is 445 pages long. Here's a break down:

- Hammer's fear and self-loathing nearly tears the triad apart.
- There is an attempted abduction of Raine her by brother River.
- Liam's unknown psychic abilities are revealed from unexpected visit by his parents.
- Hammer is arrested because he cared for Raine. (Of course there's more to this but you'll have to read the book.)
- The truth is revealed about Hammer's deceased wife. (It's a shocker)
- A woman scorned is a very bad thing. (So is too much plastic surgery.)
- True love wins in the end.

Liam, Hammer and Raine's love is strong and seeps into your pours as you read their dramatic ending. The authors did a wonderful job filling my heart with love and happiness after the suspense had pulled me apart at the seems. 4 Stars!

Now that Macen “Hammer” Hammerman, Raine Kendall, and Liam O’Neill have finally put their pasts behind them and are very clearly together, it’s just their luck that someone is attempting to change the past by righting old wrongs. Unfortunately, the timing of this action is just as Macen, Raine and Liam are moving ahead as a triad, and completely jeopardizes their future.

But this shadowy figure isn’t the only thing that jeopardizes their future—Macen’s battling long-buried demons that have risen to the surface, while Raine desperately tries to forget her past. Poor Liam is just trying to hold their family intact. But is it enough? Or will the past finally put an end to their future?

In this final installment of the Doms of Her Life series, I couldn’t help but root for Macen, Liam and Raine to finally find the happiness together that they so deserve. Man, some of the details revealed about their pasts were so heartbreaking, but their love for each other really was the glue that tried to keep them together. At points throughout the book, I found myself laughing, sniffling, grinning, angry and angsty. I simply couldn’t wait until the end to find out if Macen, Liam and Raine found their HEA.

The Edge of Dominance is book four in The Doms of Her Life Series and is definitely not a standalone. The whole series is amazing, but this book surpassed everything I wanted out of this series.

This book picks up a little after the last book and lots of things have changed. Raine and Hammer seemed to have switch positions when it comes to communication. It’s now Hammer that has a problem communicating his fears and there are a lot of them. Liam and Hammer almost lost Raine and they are not taking any chances with her. Nightmares, guilt, insecurities…it’s all there in one wild ride. Nothing is ever easy with these three, so be prepared. The surprises these wonderful authors has in store for you, will literally stop your heart. It’s not an easy road, but it’s worth it…so worth it!

Erotic, freeing, and beautiful are the three words that spring to mind when I think about this series. A must-read definitely!

Shayla, Jenna and Isabella, you have outdone yourself and written a masterpiece. I laughed, I cried, I was sad, I was joyous, I was madder than hell and happier than a hog in slop while reading the book. Got to say, I my humble opinion, it's your best work ever. The characters are so rich and multilayered. The storyline is superb with the right mix of steamy romance and suspense. Macen, Raine and Liam's lives are so inextricably intertwined that they are only whole when all three are together. Again, I love the secondary character Beck and sincerely hope we will be seeing more of him in the future.

Loved this final book to the series, took me a minute to finish it not because it was boring, but because I didn't want to let it be the end of Hammer, Raine, and Liam. With all the hell that came against them, they push through it, grew in their relationship and withstood all to be together forever.

Get read to laugh, cry, scream and get so mad you'll want to shoot someone. In the conclusion of this wonderful series you won't be able to read fast enough. But in the end your heart will melt at the joy and love found for three unforgetable ceractors. Join in the fun and don't miss the exciting fenally to an amazing series.

WOW!!!! Just...WOW!! What a gloriously erotic, thrilling, exciting, emotional way to finish one of the best series out there...Shayla Black, Jenna Jacob, and Isabella LaPearl brought it all to the table with this finale. This review has 5 stars - I would have given it 10 if it would have let me!!

Definitly the best of the series. This is book 4 in the Doms of Her Life series and concludes the story of Hammer, Liam and Raine. Glad we were able to get a little more insight into Hammer's background. Hopefully we will get see other books about the secondary characters Beck, Seth and Heavenly.
