This is book five in the Sole Regret series and is based on member Kellen "Kelly" Jamison. We got a peek into Kelly's story in Touch Me (Owen's story) and Share Me (Sole Regret Novella). I was excited to read Tie Me and get a chance to see deeper into Kelly and Owen's relationship. Going into TM we already know that Kelly hasn't had intercourse since his girlfriend died almost five years ago. Kellen's story picks up with him staying at the house he bought after Sara died. He had made some sacrifices to give her a week in that dream house because she had fallen in love with it. He goes there sometimes to feel close to her. Owen has been pressuring him to move on and it is beginning to put a strain on their friendship. Walking back from the beach Kelly is hypnotized by someone playing the piano. While he stops to listen he gets caught in a rain storm. It's at that point that Dawn invites him into her home. They bond over music even though he is part of a metal band and she is a classical composer. They get along great and both realize how lonely they've been. After a terrific night together Kellen still cannot let go of the guilt he feels over having cheated on Sara's memory. Kellen knows Dawn deserves more than he can give. Dawn knows that she cannot forget what they shared and has to go after him. Every time I think the last SR book is my favorite Olivia Cunning makes me love the current release even more. I am SOOO glad we are getting many many more SR books. I knew this book was going to be emotional and it's told in Olivia's own unique style. I didn't think I would ever "hate" someone's memory BUT damn that Sara really did a number on Kelly. Loved this book and am never disappointed in any over Olivia Cunnings books.FAVORITE QUOTE: His feelings hadn't ended when her life had. That wasn't how love worked. People who hadn't lost the love of their life didn't understand that.
