I hadn't read any of Melissa Schroeder's work until I read A LITTLE HARMLESS SEX for Romance Junkies review. I will definitely be reading more from her in the future. I enjoyed this book very much and encourage anyone who enjoys sweet, sensual romance to get their hands on it!
My Romance Junkies review:
When two best friends take their long-time friendship to the next level and become lovers, can they keep their hearts out of the mix?
When Maxwell “Max” Chandler’s fiancée breaks off their engagement, he feels guilty for being so incredibly relieved. He knows his best friend, Anna Dewinter, will understand and undoubtedly be pleased as she had always told him that his fiancée simply wasn’t right for him. When he tells Anna, and she in turn tells him that she has broken things off with her most recent fling, the two decide to celebrate. When one simple kiss turns into a night of incredibly heated passion, Max immediately wants more than just sex with Anna. Several years worth of being her best friend and pseudo big brother have flown out the window and Max wants more, much more. Max fears that Anna will be frightened by his desire for something lasting, but he is determined to be more than her best friend.
Anna Dewinter has never taken any man seriously, typically nixing her relationships before they have a chance to really get started. She can’t believe that Max’s fiancée has called off their engagement, having always thought that Max was the most perfect man, and harboring a secret desire for him for several years. When she and Max spend the night together, it is the most magical night of her life. After that one night turns into several more nights, Anna begins to panic and, fearful of losing control, she feels that she has to end the relationship before it had a chance to reach full bloom.
Max suspects that Anna’s reluctance to enter into any relationship goes much deeper than the simple need to be in charge, and his stubborn determination to reach her is heartening. Anna and Max are both well-written as successful business owners, and their reasons for wanting different things out of their relationship are completely understandable. With A LITTLE HARMLESS SEX, Ms. Schroeder gives her readers just that, and so much more. This is a passionate love story that is very satisfying and I give it a high recommendation.

Great review Laurie, I'm definitely going to have to pick this one up. I love the friends to lovers storyline.
Btw, I'm giving away Alison's book too, at my blog :)
Thanks, Stacy! You won't be disappointed, I guarantee - it's an excellent book and the friends to lovers idea is done very well.
Lots of excitement over Alison's book - everywhere! - it's a good one; her readers are going to love it.
Thanks for the heads up on this one. It sounds really great. I big on the friends to lovers story line... in fact, I have one part way done that I'm think of revising when I'm done with Getting Lucky with Luciano.
