About this listen
She has no idea what she’s doing. Loose cannons never hit their targets, and they take out plenty of collateral damage.
Four years ago, Lindsay experienced the unspeakable right before me, and I couldn’t stop them. But that’s all changed now. When her father, Senator Bosworth, contacted me to ask - demand - that I protect her, it was a second chance. A shot at redemption. An opportunity to right an unspeakable wrong.
Controlling Lindsay as she seeks her revenge on the monsters who hurt her won’t be hard. Containing my own out-of-control feelings for Lindsay and keeping up this ruse of cold-blooded distance will be; even harder than admitting to her what really happened that night four years ago.
It turns out I don’t have to, though. Someone else did it for me. And I’ll make sure they regret it.
A Harmless Little Ruse is the second audiobook in this political thriller/romantic suspense trilogy by USA Today best-selling author Meli Raine and is entirely from Drew’s perspective.

Story
I didn’t do it. I never betrayed my friend. Last year, I was kidnapped along with presidential candidate’s daughter Lindsay Bosworth, forced to help her assailants, my mother implicated in one of the biggest political scandals in American history. I've been cleared of any wrongdoing, but that doesn’t matter. Once you’re tried by the media, you’re guilty as sin. The truth doesn’t get the public’s attention. But shame? Shame sells. And everyone assumes you’re tainted.

Story
On a rainy night, I drove my overstuffed junker car back to a town I never expected to see again. And when I needed a rescue by the side of the road, a six-foot-tall piece of hot, unfinished business named Mark was what the universe sent me. Three years earlier, I’d fled town (and Mark) to follow my wrongly convicted father to his federal prison, working crappy jobs to stay afloat and visit him every second I could. But now, Dad’s dead, and I’m mysteriously offered the best job of my life at the college where his life blew up when he was accused of a crime he didn’t commit.

Story
When you’re born without a trace, no one knows you’re a weapon. I lie for her. I hunt for her. I kill for her. And above all, I betray my mission for her. She doesn’t know why. She doesn’t care why. I do. Treason comes in many forms. Love is one of them. Our training taught me to be a sociopath. A machine. A pawn. Nothing more than a tool for a larger goal, without attachments or feelings. Our teachers forgot one important detail: Pawns shouldn’t have hearts. Yet we do.

Story
The Sebastians own this city. Hell, they own the whole world. All I want is one little piece of it, a corner that I can call my own. So when my boss runs away to “find herself”, I seize the opportunity and dive headfirst into the Sebastian’s glamorous universe. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted—fast-paced and high-stakes—and, even though I don’t fit in, I’m excellent at faking it. Until I come face-to-face with the man in charge, Scott Sebastian, the arrogant playboy heir with the mind of a devil, the body of a god, and a mouth I can’t stop thinking about.

My name is Savannah Miller. My father is the mayor of New York. One day, after my 27th birthday, I was grabbed from behind. A cloth sack was quickly pulled over my head, and I was taken from everything I'd ever known. I was beaten, starved, treated like an animal, and forced to live in a room with no windows. With no sense of time and no dignity left, I finally gave up hope and made a promise to myself to end it all. Unfortunately, it was going to be a slow process.

Dirty rich one night stand. That's all it was supposed to be. He's the powerful attorney, now world-renowned after coming off the trial of a century which was publicized across the country. And I'm one of the reporters that sat in his courtroom. I watched him, studied him, got to know him from afar which isn't hard since I know his exact brand of confidence, arrogance, and wealth. I know his type. I've dated his type. Which is why when I happen to come face to face with him, when sparks fly and heat simmers between us, I know what happens if I say yes to Reese Summer.

Sex Lies and Sabotage bk 2
Lindsay has no idea how to get revenge but she wants it. Problem is no one knows who all the characters are in this game of deceit where they are setting her and Drew up to be both victim and offender.
Senator Bosworth and his wife are all about "image" and how it will look to the public as he runs for President. They are attempting to control Lindsay and care more about public perception than what happens to Lindsay. As Lindsay and long time boyfriend Drew uncover more clues, they discover that not only they've been blamed, but it would appear they set up each situation to look for sympathy.
Sebastian York does an amazing job at narrating this story and bringing attitude to a slimy run to the white house.

Book one was OK, this was much better. There was still a lot of drama based on everyone keeping secrets and no one talking but I did like it better from the male POV. Of course Sebastian York is amazing and makes every story worth listening to.

What the Actual F***?!
Sebastian.. need I say more??
This is a three part series; the first in Lindsay’s POV, the second in Drew’s POV, and the third in both POV’s. I love it! it adds to the mystery and suspense! Meli did outstanding with this series!!!
Just when I thought I was figuring things out I was all wrong! Talk about twists and turns! The anticipation is killing me!!!
Most definitely worth the credit, I will re-listen to this series a few times for sure!

Great Story
This second installment gets better. Things are starting to heat up beyween Drew and Lindsey. The thrill and suspense continues in this book. My suspicion about who may be playing about in their demise seems to be correct. Sebastian York is doing an amazing job with narration. I must see how this all play out so onto the last book.

Good story but it’s a Cliffhanger
I liked the story. The narrator is one of my favorites. I didn’t like using 3 credits just to get to the end of the story.
