Prelude to a Rumor, Part Two
Former SEAL Randy Young isn’t looking to settle down. He just got out of a bad relationship with his share of emotional scars. When he and Sean Kaheaku team up on a surveillance job, he isn’t opposed to a little fun while they work.
Sean learned the hard way that workplace romance doesn’t work out. Hell, hookups are always risky. But, when they find themselves on the run in a foreign country, lines get crossed, and both of them discover more about each other than they ever expected.
Note: "Prelude to a Rumor, Part Two" is a prelude, along with "Prelude to a Rumor, Part One", to the full-length book "A Little Harmless Rumor". Both preludes have happy-for-now endings. They are NOT a serial, and it is not necessary to read these books to understand the relationships in the final book.

I bought this because a hot M/M short with two military guys seemed right up my alley. Unfortunately, this book doesn't make sense unless you put it in the context of the other stories in the series. I felt like I had been dropped into a universe that I didn't know or understand. However, because I only read M/M these days, the rest of the series doesn't interest me as its a menage; so this book was a bust for me as a standalone short.

4½ Stars... Super hot & sexy prelude of Sean & Randy's for A Little Harmless Rumor by Melissa Schroeder!!
August 25, 2016
Sean Kaheaku, is a Hawaiian spy who is one of the best at the game and has been burnt by having a romantic relationship with his past partner. Now Sean is being asked to team up with a new partner—this time a guy fresh out the Navy. Sean is not so quick to want to team up again, but given the mission, he accepts his new partner as a new work relationship only. No matter how sexy this new partner is, Sean isn’t sure he is willing to risk his heart again.
Randy Young is a retired Navy SEAL turned independent contractor. He is being asked to work a dangerous mission with a man who has a great work reputation and one who was hurt by his last partner. However, the money for this mission is extreme and impossible to say no to, and if he needs to partner-up with Sean, then a partnership it will be.
Sean and Randy are just supposed to go and see what is going on in a foreign country and then get the heck out of Dodge. Sounds like an easy mission. After all, they don’t need to even try and smuggle anything in or out this time. Yet, things go south from the minute the mission begins, and it takes all of Sean’s wits and Randy’s SEAL know-how to get them both out and to safety. Both had an attraction to the other from their first meeting and when the danger is at its highest, that attraction turns into passion. Neither went into this mission or partnership looking for a romance, and yet that passion and determination just might be what it takes to get them both to safety.
Two American spies learn the hard way that even when you are not looking for love, it sometimes is what you need to make it to another day. Randy and Sean learn this and other things in Prelude to a Rumor, Part 2. I was pretty sure that Sean would not allow himself to find romance with another partner after being burned so badly, yet I could see exactly why he fell for Randy. Randy was a surprise to me all the way through this book, and yet I came to love him as much as Sean by the time I turned the last page. The danger put everything on a rough edge, and yet I saw how Sean and Randy’s passion helped smooth out all the edges and gave them a future to fight for. As I said goodbye to Sean and Randy, I hoped that I would find a wonderful future for them somewhere down the road. Prelude to a Rumor, Part 2 takes suspenseful danger almost to its limits, while bringing in a passion to deliver Sean and Randy to a safe and happy ending.

A Little Harmless Rumor is an upcoming book that tells us the story of Sean Kaheaku and his former lovers Randy and Jamie. Prelude to a Rumor, Part One tells us of his first mission with Jamie and Prelude to a Rumor, Part Two tells us of his first mission with Randy. Neither are necessary to enjoy A Little Harmless Rumor but they help pass the time till it hits the shelves. Randy and Sean are smoking hot together and leave me wanting A Little Harmless Rumor that much more.

Part 2
This is Sean and Randy's story. They are partners in a covert mission. They each are aware the other is bisexual and are hugely attracted to each other. They also find there is something off about the mission that sends their intuition on high alert.
A short read that gives you some background info for the upcoming A Little Harmless Rumor.

I enjoyed meeting Randy, Sean's other partner, who will be part of the ménage relationship in A Little Harmless Rumor. I really love reading m/m and the author did a great job giving readers a quick glimpse of this twosome in action in and out of the bedroom which was totally hot. I cannot wait to read more.

Another quick peek into Sean's past, this time where he meets Randy. A mission, excitement, and hawt scenes makes this an enjoyable prelude to the full novel. I recommend reading this too, it gave me a better understanding into their relationship.

Hot men
Sean and Randy, partners on a mission that goes wrong, but everything goes right in bed. Can't wait until Jamie gets thrown into the mix. I see some really hot MFM sex in store. Must read the main book in this trio.

Really short, great connection between Sean and Randy. But the story was very short, even for a short story. I wanted more with them.

I really didn't know if I was going to like this one or not. But I did. Sean is still sexy and arrogant and a good match for Randy. Great little story.

Nice taste
Nice start to what looks like it is going to be a good story. Short but there is a lot in it.
