Maylea "May" Aiona has wanted Evan Chambers for a long time. But he's only ever treated her like a kid sister. Added to her depressed mood is the acknowledgment that all her previous sexual experiences have left her less than fulfilled. After chatting with a close friend, May opts to explore her submissive desires at a BDSM club. Good thing her friend has connections, and soon she's agreed to a public submission at the club in exchange for the hefty fee the club requires for membership.Evan's wanted May since he first laid eyes on her, but feels she's out of his league so he never attempts to make her his.  Then she arrives at the BDSM club where he's a silent partner and becomes the Dom to her sub during her public submission. He's enthralled by her beauty and her feistiness and wants to be her Dom in her life beyond the club. He's already more possessive of her than he has any right to be. But then he learns of the threatening letters and messages left for her and his rage knows know bounds. While May tries to make light of the messages, claiming she's not in any danger, Evan knows better and will do what it takes to keep his submissive safe.Author Melissa Schroeder is quickly becoming a must-read writer for me. Her stories never fail to entertain and arouse and A Little Harmless Obsession is no exception. May and Evan have a decent friendship already under their belts. Quietly but impatiently simmering in the background is their attraction for one another. This makes for the best foundation of their relationship, because they already know quite a bit about each other, and yet, it was a delight to read their surprise when their mutual attraction was brought to light. The sexual tension between this couple was heady and there were times I wanted to toss the two of them in bed just to give them some relief! But those times where they did give in to their desires were three-alarm-fire smoking!The added suspense of the stalker element was just the right touch for this story and it sped up the action to a rapid staccato. There were times that Evan's frustrations - his self loathing regarding his past, his anger at not being able to control May when she chose to exercise her own independence or her desire for space - made me want to choke him at times. But when he began revealing his inner vulnerability, it thoroughly endeared him to me, not only as a Dom but also as a man. May's inner strength was admirable and I can only strive to be someone like her. What a great story, thoroughly enjoyable, and inducing purchasing sessions, snatching up the author's backlist for more reading enjoyment.See my other reviews at FallenAngelReviews.com
