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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very awesome book cover

Island Meditation & Serenity Center. Dr. Stacia (PhD; psychologist) was checking on Ms. Lindsay Bosworth (23, daughter, BA).
Weekly counseling sessions with her are a hit/miss at times.
It was time for her to go home.
The gang rape of Lindsay was video-taped, posted & went viral.
Something she would never get over.

Senator Harwell Bosworth (husband/father, CA., Foreign Relations committee head) would not be there to greet her.
Drew Foster (BF, security, bodyguard, retired military, Afghanistan) was there to escort her.
Monica Bosworth (wife/mother) & Connie (kitchen mgr.) welcome her home.
The Grove. Lindsay is starting flashbacks & reoccurring dreams from her past.
Silas Gentian (25, chauffeur/security, bodyguard, Afghanistan) takes Lindsay where she needs to go.
Marshall Josephs has been hired to instruct Lindsay on how to manage her past negative reputation into a more positive manner. Marcy Boorstein & Victoria Ahlmann also will help out.
Senator Bosworth (husband/father) had decided to run for President.
Andrew “Drew” Foster (security, bodyguard) was hired also.
Tara (Berkley; MBA), Mandy, & Jenna came to visit Lindsay over Drew watchful eye.
The welcoming committee did not turn out well for 1 person.
Lindsay’s car brake lines had been cut & she ended up in the hospital.
Later what were John Gainsborough (major league baseball player), Stellen Asgarth (TV celebrity), & Blaine Maisri (running for Senator) up too?

Warning: This book contains extremely graphic adult content, violence, or expletive language &/or uncensored sexually explicit material which is only suitable for mature readers. It may be offensive or have potential adverse psychological effects on the reader.

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. Wow, a very well written psychological thriller book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great psychological thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. To be continued. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

Thank you for the free author; BookSends; Amazon Digital Services LLC.; book

4.0 out of 5 stars Great read, except for the unresolved ending

When Lindsay Bosworth was 19, she was still a virgin. Then, three frat brothers of her fiancé, Drew, gang-raped her, videotaped it, and posted it to the Internet where it went viral. Three of her so-called best friends came forward and said that she’d been drunk and invited it, and to minimize the scandal, her US Senator father had her packed off to a mental institution for four years, where she was to be kept in isolation. She did, however, manage to see a copy of the tape, and to her shock, saw Drew sitting watching, and doing nothing. Even worse, she learns that her rapists were never prosecuted.
Lindsay, though, is no longer just a victim. Once she’s released from the institution and back home, she’s determined to see that her assailants will face the consequences of their actions. The problem, or problems, though, are many. Drew is now her father’s chief of security, with the mission of providing her personal protection, and her father has decided to run for president. Lindsay is not a ‘problem’ that must be managed for the sake of his campaign. To add to her angst, someone is taunting her, and even trying to kill her. Who can she trust?
A Harmless Little Game by Meli Raine is an interesting thriller on many levels. On the one hand, it exposes the lengths people will go to in their quest for political power, even at the expense of those closest to them, while on the other, it shows the power of the Internet to be used for evil purposes. The story proceeds with grim determination as Lindsay slowly comes to grips with her situation, and learns who her true enemies are—but, more importantly, who her friends are. Riveting dialogue and blood-chilling narrative keep the reader flipping pages. My only complaint is the cliff-hanger ending, that leaves the reader wondering, what next?

This book, just wow. I loved it! I cried through most of it. I felt/feel so sorry for Lindsay. Terrible, really terrible things happened to her, 4 years ago. I honestly don't know how she lived through it. It sounds horrible! For the last 4 years she has been on a remote Island that has a Rehab/Mental Institution. She has had no visitors, not even her parents. She has had no answers, except for what she manages to research on the Internet on her own and in secret. For 4 years she thought that her boyfriend was behind or part of the attack. She has been plotting how to get her revenge and she is angry, hurt and confused. Her father is a Senator and has decided that it is time for her to come home. So much happens when she comes home. She learns the truth about what happened after her attack. People she thought were friends, betrayed her. She doesn't know who to trust or what to believe. It is all very confusing and a little sinister. This is a great book, it really kept me rivited and I was emotionally connected. When I got it, I didn't realize it was part of a series that is not complete. But that is okay, it doesn't look like I have to wait too long for the next book. I can't wait to read what happens next. Why someone went to so much trouble to target her and why they seem to still have her in their radar. Why the people who hurt her were never held responsible, how they got away with it and why her friends deceived and betrayed her. I believe there is still a lot to learn and I am not sure who can be trusted.
I recommend this book. The writing and characters are excellent. It is really well written and makes you feel like you are part of the story.

I didn't even read the synopsis of this I was looking at free books and this was on of them and thought I would give it a go I am so glad I did.
I was hooked from the first page...

Kept in a mental institution for 4 years to her own good before been released to find that everything that she thought was wrong the men that raped her have gone free her friends turned against her and the man who she loved who she thought was in on it all wasn't.
She has no idea who to trust but she wants to see justice even if he has to do it herself.
But then when the me who hurt her come back and she has her car breaks cut everything is on the line to see justice delt.

I was half way through when I bought the next two book they are so good it won't leave you dissopointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intrigue Galore!!
Reviewed in Canada on March 25, 2017

The book begins describing a horrific event which immediately captures your attention. It's very raw, disturbing, emotional and painful to read. The author describes brilliantly how Lindsay understands and "plays" the psychiatric institution in order to "escape". One can't help but feel mortified and ashamed at how Lindsay was treated by her family and supposed friends who should have been there to support her. Instead, she was just an agenda item. In addition, Lindsay is both mortified to still desire Drew and hate him at the same time. There is so much intrigue going on, you have no idea who to trust. Superb book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Series. I did not need to buy book two.
Reviewed in Australia on June 20, 2018

As many other reviews this is a really good read. It is a series and there are three books in total. I did buy all books and after reading all three I realised I really did not need to buy book two as it did not add much at all. I was a bit disappointed in the ending and expected more mystery and suspense after reading book one. Book two and three could have easily been condensed into one book. Too much of the same thing.

4.0 out of 5 stars History is written by the best spin doctors
Reviewed in Canada on February 3, 2018

To me, this book is mostly about setting the stage: introducing us to the major players, giving us the history of the situation, and explaining why Lindsay is at the point she is. I’ve heard it said that “history is written by the victors”, and with today’s media-machine history is written by the best spin doctors. I’m hooked now to see who’s pulling the strings behind the scenes and how Lindsay and Drew will get their justice.
