A Harmless Little Game
Meli Raine
(Harmless, #1)
Publication date: October 18th 2016
Genres: Adult, Romance, Suspense
Four years ago I lost my virginity on live, streaming television.
Too bad I wasn’t awake for it.
The video went viral. Of course it would. A Senator’s daughter on camera? Wouldn’t you click “share”? Besides, that’s what three of the four guys in the video did.
Share.
They shared me.
But that fourth guy? The nondescript one in the background in the upper left corner of the screen, just sitting on the couch? The only one who did nothing?
Not one single thing.
That was my boyfriend, Drew.
And that was the last time I saw him.
Until today, when my father—now on a path to the White House—hired him as head of security for my new team as I return home after four years of “recovering” in an undisclosed location that involved white lab coats, needles, pills and damage control.
You see, the other three guys never went to jail. Never had charges pressed.
Never faced consequences.
Until today.
Game on.

EXCERPT:
Short, clipped chestnut hair. Brown eyes the color of well-worn leather, eyes that blaze with intelligence and a guardedness no one could ever breach. He’s bigger than the last time I saw him, four years ago. Broader. More muscular. He’s a controlled, contained man who has a James Bond air to him.
And he’s looking at me right now with eyes so cold they might as well be icebergs.
“Lindsay, let me introduce you to Andrew,” Stacia starts.
Drew. Oh, God, it’s true.
“Andrew Foster will be your new security specialist. He and his team will keep you safe.”
I snort.
He stares.
Stacia’s eyes leap from Drew to me and back. “Is there a problem?” she asks, brows turning down. That’s more emotion than I’ve seen in her for four years. Her gaze darts between me and Drew, assessing the situation. No matter what, I lose if she decides something’s going sour here.
Even if Drew is the one gone bad.
“No.” Drew and I say the word at the exact same moment, in the same tone of voice. It sounds like a sharp clap, a single sound that shatters noise.
“You two know each other?” Stacia asks, her fingers caressing the paper. Without that discharge form, I can’t leave. If Drew ruins this for me, it will be the second time in my life he’s fucked up.
The first time was four years ago when he let three of our friends rape me.

Whoa, this one has one heck of an intense premise. It reminds me a bit of the horrormovie “I spit on your grave” which I honestly hated because it was pure sensationalism instead of really giving us a proper revenge story.
This one though, I love a good revenge story, and this one sounds like it might just give us that. Looking forward to a review from you, if you are going to be reviewing it that is 😊

I could not agree more. That movie seriously sucked. It only wanted to really shock people and really exhibited the woman in a very sexist way that I really hated 😡
But this book though…wow, it really sounds amazing. Looking forward to reading your review. Thank you as always for the amazing kindness 😘

So are you 😘😘 That was the thing that made me the most angry about the film. Here we have a woman that really goes through hell, but it was just shown as big sexist thing, and that’s what made me hate it Ugh 😡😡

I actually went and downloaded and read this and now have to read the other 2 to find out what happened! 🙄. It’s OK, not the most highbrow style of writing and the heroine is somewhat annoying, but I still want to know what happens in the end so that’s a plus.

You read fast Fraggle! Man I hope she gets her revenge!!! Kick em in the balls!!!!😂 Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the books and letting me know what it’s like. Sounds like it must be okay to want to read the other 2 to find out hopefully the heroine is less annoying in the other books. I will have to check it out myself. I love hearing your thoughts and thanks for sharing them Fraggle!😄📚💜💛

I sure hope he has a redeeming factor-drugged maybe? Otherwise, this will be one, dark tale.

I just finished reading the trilogy maybe a week or so ago. I didn’t go into it realizing the full premise and it is a little uncomfortable at times, but overall I liked the series.
