Max Chandler and Anna Dewinter have always been the best of friends. While each have been secretly attracted to the other, they've never acted on that attraction - why mess with a great friendship and besides they've never both been free at the same time. When Max's fiancée breaks up with him and Anna breaks up with her boyfriend, they find themselves both free. Anna suggests a party at her place to celebrate and after way too much tequila, they act on their attraction. Max is the CEO of his family business. He really didn't love his former fiancée - she was the daughter of one of his business partners and he thought she'd make a good business executive wife. But one night with Anna makes him realize who he really wants and that someone is Anna. Max knows that all of Anna's relationships don't last long - she always breaks up with her boyfriends after a month, but he's determined to be different. Anna is a very independent woman, not caring what other people think. She's crazy about Max, but her past has made her leery of relationships. She's determined to treat Max like all of her previous boyfriends. Can Max stop her? I really enjoyed this book. It's steamy, but the sex, the dialog, the relationship all ring true. I'm not sure how this book was before the author expanded it so if you read an earlier version, I'm not sure how different this version is. I do know that this was a fun read. I liked Max and Anna and enjoyed reading their story. Although it's a quick read (just under 200 pages), it's well worth spending an afternoon reading this book. This book is the start of the Harmless series (the next book being about Max's ex-fiancée and best friend) and if this is a hint of what's to come, a series that I'm looking forward to!

I have been lucky enough to be Miss Schroeder's friend and critique partner for several years. I have been treated to all the books in the Harmless series and I don't think it could have been kicked off with anything more fun and frisky than this compelling tale of Max and Anna. It's high time to see feisty heroines who are outspoken, know what they want and work hard to get it. In the same respect, Max is a gentleman who cares about the heroine as a friend and as a lover. I highly recommend this series.

This is the second book of Melissa's and I loved the book. It was fun and entertaining and really hot. I hope see keeps up the good work. This book is fun and the characters are very belivable. The book is wonderful and you won't want to stop reading till its done. I hated to see it end.
