Lethal Obsession #2
Helpless, Book 2 of the Lethal Obsession Trilogy
Detective Angela Martin returns to pick up the pieces of her life – and track down a killer – in the darkly erotic thriller HELPLESS, the sequel to the acclaimed erotica suspense tale LETHAL OBSESSION.
In LETHAL OBSESSION, Angela found herself in the clutches of a BDSM master who knew exactly how to control her body and mind, to make her feel pleasure – mingled with a hint of pain and submission – in ways she had never imagined. Then women started turning up dead in her town of Moose Creek, N.C., bound and tortured in ways eerily similar to what Angela's mysterious master had done to her.
Despite the danger to her life and career, Angela couldn't stop herself – she kept going back to him, ostensibly to learn more about him as she investigated the deaths, but in truth because she craved his touch, his control. She belonged to him, body and soul, though her devotion had tragic consequences.
In HELPLESS, she is working through the guilt of having killed, the grief of having lost, trying to rebuild her life and career. She is driven to seek out darker, more dangerous sexual thrills, even when the bondage killer, or a copycat, returns to Moose Creek.
Her life is complicated when a writer from a national publication shows up in her town, determined to do a series of articles on the bondage killer, and her life. The writer turns out to be more than expected, and this time Angela finds herself fighting not only for her career and life, but maybe to save others as well.
*****
While HELPLESS stands alone as a novel, it is highly suggested you first read LETHAL OBSESSION, not only for a dark erotic thrill, but to fully appreciate the story, and characters, in HELPLESS.

What others are saying about HELPLESS
This book does not disappoint! What a great way to keep the story going. A good, erotic story about pain and being lost and trying to find yourself with lots of suspenseful twists & turns that leaves you waiting to see what will happen. Can't wait for the final installment and to see what Shandra has in store for us!

This dark, erotic thriller sees Moose Creek's Detective Angela Martin return to the scene of crime and attempt to pick up her life and career. Addicted to a lethal cocktail of pain and pleasure, Angela cannot resist the sinful sexual thrill of belonging to a bondage master who is expert in stopping just short of the point of no return. Or is he? Angela truly doesn't know, but surrenders herself to the danger of finding out. Miller's second instalment in the `Lethal' trilogy is a gripping, erotic story that will keep you entertained from the first word. Stimulating and suspenseful.

About the author
Shandra Miller
10 books20 followersI'm a mid-western gal who left home at 16 and never looked back. Eventually I made my way to Florida, worked for three years as a carnie and another three with a circus -- yes, a real, live, honest-to-god circus. Traveled all through the South and Mid-Atlantic those years, town to town, on the road eight months at a time.
Now I'm a small-town Southern office girl, filing papers, answering the phone. I don't own a cell phone or a TV. I take long walks at night, lay in the grass and watch the clouds go by, and I write erotica. Blazing hot erotica. And mystery stories dripping with lust, sex and suspense.

How does this happen?!? I am stuck into another evolving series and must wait for the third book for the conclusion. I have been entertained with this series and look forward to the final book.

Beep Beep Beep****This is a special Report*** For the love of God before you read any further go to Amazon and one click Lethal Obsession. I repeat one click Lethal Obsession because this review will pick up where that left off. That being said, are ya’ll ready for this shit? Nah you ain’t ready. Shit I wasn’t ready. I thought I was but damn it Shandra Miller did it again. Detective Angela Martin is lost.
And Angela just fucking checked out after mistakenly killing Tanner....... Yes, I said Tanner. The man she risked her career just to be with.
Angela needed to experience sexual arousal from pain and pleasure that comes with giving up control to someone…not just anyone…him, Tanner. Since she has been suspended from the force, now she just aimlessly hooks up with random people she meets online that are into the BDSM scene. She is becoming more reckless by letting these men use her to self inflict her punishment for mistakenly killing Tanner. Don’t get it twisted though, it isn’t all pain. She has enough hurt inside for it to be punishment for her actions, but she gets just enough pleasure to make it worth her while. During her suspension, she is seeing a psychiatrist. She is making a little head way in realizing all of this with her new psychiatric therapy. However her old boss wants her to come back to work. Now remember this is a small ass town she lives in so everybody knows now...... that the hot blond detective has got some kinky ways.
Okaaaaay…Now, when Anthony Carr the hotshot freelance writer from New York shows up in this poe dunk town to do a story on the murders and Angela’s involvement, she has an immediate and instant attraction to him.
Which is shocking because she hasn’t even felt interested in a man if it wasn’t for some type of pain/pleasure release? However she is not interested in having to re-live her life around the murders and Tanner’s death no matter how sexy his panty melting smile is. As soon as Angela is re-instated, BOOM the murders start again. Of course, like before she is again, somehow linked to each in some way. I mean this girl can’t catch a break for nothing. As she digs deeper into the investigation, here comes Anthony’s fine ass hot on her heels trying to write his story. Anthony is a smooth talker. I mean he’s a writer. He knows what to say and how to get what he wants when he flashes that megawatt smile. However, the shit is not that easy with Angela. She wants nothing to do with him and I think this intrigues him even more. And, just his luck, there is a break in the case and awwwww goodie, goodie...... he is needed to help bait the suspect. Anthony is not wanting to pass up an opportunity to get to know more about Angela, so he quickly accepts. During the operation things get ehhhh a little hot and steamy between Angela and Anthony, but he did just so happen to come into to town right when the murders started happening again. Ain’t that sumthin. IKR?!?!?!?! Sooo, once again Angela is caught in the middle of this crazy ass investigation. WTF? Who is out to get her? I fucking swear, it’s like playing clue damn it. Shit it could be her husband, some psycho homeless guy, someone on the force and ohh ya, it could also be that sexy ass mothafucka Anthony. Shandra will have you thinking you figured that shit out and then ummmm, yeah NO YOU DIDN'T!!!!! So if you need to know, then you should get your ass over to Amazon. Again, I thought I had it all figured out but ahh.. Shandra got me twice now. I give this 4.5 BadAssDirty Who Done it? Stars!!!! ★★★★ & 1/2★ - See more at: http://lipsmackingoodbooks.blogspot.c...

3 1/2 stars rounded up to 4
I didn't enjoy this as much as Lethal Obsession. It didn't feel as fleshed out and a number of things didn't add up for me. Hopefully they will fall into place in the next book.
