Lyn has a decision to make. She can drown in the pain from her past, or she can choose to overcome it and become who she was born to be.

I am not a huge fan of mermaid tales, but these two authors make me want to be. What a great series this was and left me a fan of mermaid stories, of course this is not your typical mermaid story.
This is more of a darker read then most would think. Which is probably why I enjoyed it more.
So Tides that Bind picks up where we left off with the cliffhanger. Jocelyn discovers more of her past, and does not have an easy time of things. But what I really liked was her growth, not just on herself but to love and trust others. Namely her men.
Everything put together made this a great duet, one that I would definitely recommend to any RH paranormal reader.
Tides that Bind is the final book in this awesome duet. It’s been such a long time that I have read the first book and I truly appreciate the authors little recap at the beginning of this second book. From then on, the story continued where it left off from the cliffhanger end of book one. Jocelyn finally discovered a bit of her past and as a character, she grew to be more accepting of affection and to trust in herself. We saw some lies, secrets and betrayals unraveled with a dose of steamy scenes from our characters. Everything was nicely wrapped up in the end and I must say a pretty enjoyable read.
What a great read! There was so much turmoil and emotion, action, drama, great characters and so much more. This is probably one of the absolute best mermaid reads I’ve ever had the pleaser of getting my hands on. It’s sexy, and dangerous and the evil Queen is beyond what I expected! So good can’t wait to read more works by these amazingly talented authors.
I haven’t read too many duologies before so I was a little worried of how this book would wrap up Lyn’s story. Overall the pacing was great, but the last 20% felt rushed. This book had so much emotion, action, and bonding and the darker themes are more descriptive.
Lyn definitely grows within this story. She learns how to stand up for herself, voice her opinion, and learns how to be loved and give love in return. I still like Octavius and Leir more than Arroyo and Sandy, but my favorite characters were the seadragons, Zeke and Zephyr. I really loved Queen Olivia and Queen Lilly because they were the voice of reason in the fresh and salt water kingdoms and showed Lyn so much lover, understanding, and compassion.
I wish we could’ve met the twin’s family and seen their kingdom. This one was more emotional than the first and my heart was constantly breaking for each character. I had this twisted theory that King Lazarus was in cahoots with Arabella, but I guess it’s a good thing I was wrong. Erin and Loxley did an amazing job with this duology and I hope they’ll do another co-write in the future!
*I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review
Wow! What a wave to ride…..
The adventure Lyn goes on with finding, bonding, and rescuing her mates is an edge of your seat, page turning, sequel to the first book that left on a book hangover and cliffhanger.
We finally really start to get to know Arryo, Sandy, Leir, and Octavius. Seeing their dynamic and that love really can overcome any obstacle and the fears they had/have and the reason they are the way they are. We finally get some backstory to all the mystery and answers to all the why’s and how’s.
I have to say sweet victory is the highlight of this book. Our villains are disgusting, gag worthy, and well written that, as a reader, I cannot even like just a smidge, and root for their demise.
*beware the torture, rape, sex scenes, and foul play is stronger in this book than the first one*
Excellent conclusion to this fantastic duet!!!! I was not only on the edge of my seat for the entire ride, but my heart was beating out of my chest! I couldnt have been happier with the way this story ended. There for a minute I thought “oh no. Am I going to have to wait for another book???? Poor Sandy!” There were SO many twists and turns going on. I was over the moon with how close they got with this story. It was so good. I just want to read every book both authors have ever written now. And I was so happy with the revenge Kraken queen got. 5 stars!!!!!
I really enjoyed this continuation of Lyn’s story after the major cliff hanger of the 1st book. Lyn has had to overcome a lot to find her HEA.
Loved this book!!! It doesn’t miss a heart beat! We are taken into an underwater whirlwind adventure!! Love, action, heartbreak, and redemption! IT HAS EVERYTHING!! especially sexy merman! must read! This is book two and final! so must read in order however it does a great job recapping at the beginning #SandyIsMine
Loxley Savage has never disappointed me when I want to sink my teeth into something dark and delicious.. and now I can definitely add Erin O’Kane to the same list. These two together delivered a satisfying, steamy, and unique RH read with the Wicked Waves duet and Tides that Bind was the perfect conclusion. This series is on my list of permanent go to re-reads.
,
A great ending to a story, that checks all the boxes. I wasnt sure two books would be enough to cover Lynn’s story, but it was a perfect set.
In my opinion book two is even better than book one, we get deeper into each of the memen and learn the secrets of the past.
You will want to pick up this conclusion to Twisted Tides for sure!
Goodness gracious. Tides that Bind absolutely BLEW past my expectations. It kept me on my toes from beginning to end. My heart fell so hard for these characters and the situations they had been forced into. It was steamy and a complete page turner. I loved everything about it.
Great original ideas, to follow up on the first novel. Perfectly written and fully developed characters. Amazing world building and perfectly accompanied by a great story line, with twists to keep you turning pages and loving every minute. Well done!

Holy freaking merdick I loved this book so hard it was amazing. If you want to have your heart riped out and shaved back in every few chapters grab this baby. I loved this so hard I’m so sad it’s ending but what an epic ending it was. I’ve been #savaged yet again. Ps. Erin you need a badass hashtag too.
This book was great! The characters are perfect! Especially Lyn as we get to watch her grow into a confident, strong lady. This will completely enthrall you the entire time! It is sooo worth picking up.
Amazing conclusion
I wasn’t sure how ladies were going to recover from the cliffhanger from the previous book but did amazing. I loved the imagery and scenes in this book. Lyn is a great character who is both strong and weak in the most appropriate ways and her men all complement her. Highly recommend this series
What a great ending to this series!! I thought this book was very complete, it had all the things, I hope to get in a last book, sexy times, adventures, romance, battle, and reunions. What I loved the most was her transformation from Lyn to Jocelyn and all that entales (pun intended). In book 1 we see what Arabella does to her people and her slaves and how as Lyn she, is almost broken after Horation…….but then together with her prince’s and twins, she finally sees her true strength and worth through there eyes and it is Beautiful and we get to see how Jocelyn was always meant to be!!! Thank you Loxley and Erin for a great Mermaid Tale!!
I gotta admit that I have been waiting on the edge of my seat for this second book after the cliffhanger in book 1. The authors left no stone unturned to take me through every possible emotion out there. This story was dark, gritty and grabbed me by my throat. There’s honestly no other way to describe how I felt after reading this, than emotional overload, turned into a huge book hangover. But what a spectacular grand finale!
A amazing conclusion to a amazing series. Loxely Savage and Erin O’Kane could not have wrote a better series. I highly recommend to all reverse harem fans. This is a definitely must read. Great works ladies!
