A Little Harmless Obsession by Melissa Schroeder – Review

Blurb:

What begins as a quest for submission becomes an unrelenting need for love.

Harmless, Book 3

May Aiona’s crush on sexy Evan Chambers is a bad habit that should be easy to break. It’s not like he’s ever noticed her. Looking for a safe place to release the reins of control and explore her curiosity about BDSM, May takes a friend up on an invitation to visit an exclusive bondage club—all she has to agree to is a public submission.

Evan can’t help but notice the exotically beautiful May. But despite his success, the dirty secrets of his past whisper that he’ll never be good enough for her. When Evan sees her standing in his club ready to submit to his best friend, he gives in to the thing he wants most—May as his sub. After their session, he knows one night will never be enough. But loving May isn’t easy for a man always ready to take charge. She might like to submit in the bedroom, but she doesn’t like anyone telling her what to do outside of it.

When May insists she’s not in any danger from the person seemingly obsessed with her, she ends up in the sights of a deranged stalker—with Evan possibly too far away to help.

~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~

This book can be summed up in two words. Freaking hot! A gorgeous Dom with a horrible past that has lead to commitment issues and heroine strong enough to break through his barriers. It’s a perfect set-up for me.

If you have read A Little Harmless Pleasure (book 2 of the series), then you have had a glimpse of Evan’s prowess in the bedroom. Now you get to read a lot more about that prowess. In the bedroom. In the club. On the dining room table. In the shower by himself. Did I mention HOT?

But as hot as Evan is, what really stood out in the book was the heroine, May. She is strong, confidant, and intelligent. She hasn’t really enjoyed her past sexual experiences so she decides to do research and try to find out why. And once she realizes the why, she sets out with a plan to fix it.

When someone vandalizes her car, she calls the cops. When things escalate, once again, she calls the cops. It is so refreshing to see this. No TSTL heroine here who tries to solve it herself or just brushes it aside. May uses her common sense to handle the situation.

This is the second book I have read by Melissa Schroeder and it definitely won’t be my last. I’m looking forward to seeing where she goes next in this series and checking out her backlist.
