Review – A Little Harmless Lie by Melissa Schroeder

I'm here to tell you that Melissa Schroeder lied to me. There is nothing harmless or little about this book.

And the sex…well that just screams for itself, or should I say it stays silent, unless it's going to use the safe word.

A Little Harmless Lie is book four in the series and picks up seemingly a few months (maybe even a year) after Evan and May have come together. This time we get to watch Dee and Micah or as I kept referring to them, the Boxer and the Dom. Dee has spent the past 10 years running for her life, and for now she's settled in Hawaii, where she makes the drinks, flirts with customers and keeps her virgin behind out of the sights of one, Micah Ross.

Or at least that's what she thought.

Micah is very aware of Dee and what she is (a virgin, a sub and his employee), but he's willing to take the risk if it means he can have her. Not bad work for a bartender if you can get it. As these things often go, just when the spankings and the anal sex are getting good, reality crashes the party.

In what could have been a convoluted mess, the author makes good use of the backstory and a missing relative to sew the plot together…she also manages to introduce us to some future characters with a possible relationship brewing…Zeke and Maura, anyone? For me this book shows the great potential of the writer. The universe she's created with the idea, characters and location make it a worthwhile ready.

This is the kind of book that if you're looking for an exciting local, a hot man a woman who can kick some ass and some BDSM and murder wrapped in one, you'll get it…or if you're looking for a great series that will keep you panting for more.

Now what I want to know now is when is Melissa Schroeder going to tell me another Harmless story…? Or even better…can she tell me who won the pool?

Who Ever Said Obsession was a Bad Thing...

Has obviously not read A Little Harmless Obsession by Melissa Schroeder.  This was both a fun and informative read.

Besides keeping the tune for Elvis' "A Little Less Conversation" running on a loop in my head anytime I thought of the title, this book kept my attention because it showed a very dominant woman, May, realizing that the bedroom was the last place she wanted to be calling the shots.  This Harmless title did a good job about not making May and the readers feel like the character was betraying herself (and women everywhere) with this admission.

I love how snippet's of the previous characters lives peak through and how well she builds upon the next book with the current title.  Pick this read up as a reminder of the sun and sand of Hawaii or if you enjoy reading about a dominant woman come into her own.
