Love these books, can't wait for another. They are so much fun to read. Really enjoy them!
This was a good read that I couldn't put down. Madison wanted to go on a retreat after her very public divorce from her husband, they are both from Hollywood, her ex husband cheated and she wants to get away and goes to a retreat. Luke is a man that lives in the mountains outside the retreat and lives on his own and tries to stay away from everyone. When they run into each other and Madison needs his help the chemistry and sparks are flying. This is a great fast moving story and I could not put this book down.
Both these authors have not disappointed with this book. And I am looking forward to the other books in this series, even though they are all standalone who doesn't want to read them all.
4.5 Stars!
Sometimes books with a lot of sexual content lack an engaging story. This was so not the case with Misadventures of a City Girl, by coauthors Meredith Wild and Chelle Bliss. This is the first book I have read from either author, and it certainly won't be the last. The cover is alluring, which instantly caused me to be interested in the book's plot. The writing is well-paced, descriptive, and brings out the true emotions of the characters. This is a hot, well-written book that is worth adding to your TBR list.

Due to formatting issues, I was unable to read this book. Still wishing the best to the authors.
LA divorcee goes to hippie spa but spends all her time in a hunky mountain man’s bed. Hilarity and misunderstandings ensue.
The first note I had was on the fact she booked a four-week stay at a spa. Really? People do that? I’d be bored out of my head in less than a week. Just me? Fine.
My next note was that only a third of the way through and they’re already past their worst issues. Didn’t think the rest of the book would only feature sex. . . then I wondered if her ex would show up. . . and I was right on both counts.
Then there’s the point where I wrote “Wow, this is where a girl should realize he’s too damaged to be with and look out for herself, especially since she has her own problems.” To have her go back to him after that was completely unrealistic, but I suppose it wouldn’t be an “against all odds” romance if she didn’t.
Despite some idiotic moves from both, this is an excellently written book. I always judge by how much I like the protagonist, and except for some strange decisions apparently made to move the plot along early on, I love her. That did cost a potential higher grade, as did the note I wrote higher. This could have earned a 5/5. I’m just glad there wasn’t any need to overplay the angry ex thing.
I discovered this book through the authors getting a photo-shoot done to advertise the book and for the book series website! I follow the photographer that they used, which is how I found out about this book! I then looked it up on Goodreads and it sounded like my kind of read, so I requested a copy on Netgalley! I really wanted to read this book as soon as I received it, but I had a few review books to read first! I then finally had the chance to read it! After reading, I can say that I really enjoyed this book! It wasn't overly long, so it did only take me a few sittings to read! The plot also developed at the perfect pace and there weren't any bits that slowed down! There also wasn't a lot of action and suspense in the plot, but there were plenty of seriously hot scenes! I would say that there were maybe too many hot scenes lol! I felt like there was one in every chapter, which meant that I did end up skimming over them, but they were seriously hot! The characters were also amazing and made this book even better! Madison was the main female character, and she had been through a rough period in this book, so she wanted some space to clear her head and be away from people! I respected why wanted to get away, and it was one of the best decisions she ever made because it led her to the perfect guy lol! I just loved Madison in this book and she was a city girl that did grow to love being out in the wilderness! Well, most of the time lol! I also liked how Madison and her love interest compromised with their new living arrangements! Luke was the main male character and love interest of Madison! Luke lived by himself in this book in a small cabin away from everyone! He liked his privacy and I could completely understand why he chose to stay away from people! He had seen and done some things that were horrible and he couldn't be around crowds because of his PTSD! Madison showed Luke that he didn't have to be alone and she helped him start to integrate back into society! I loved the way Luke was with Madison too! He was very protective of her and it was easy to see his feelings for her grow! I also loved that this book was written from both Madison and Luke's point of views! I wasn't sure if it was going to be, even though this book is written by two authors, but I'm really happy that it was! It helped me connect more with both characters and it allowed for more things to happen in the plot too! I also can't wait to read the next book in this series! I know that it's going to focus on a completely different set of characters and it's not going to be Chelle writing it with Meredith, but Meredith is going to be co-writing the next book with Helen Hardt, so I'm still very excited to read it! I also already have an ARC of it, so I'm definitely going to be making it my next read or reading it very soon! I can't wait to give it a read! The cover for this book is also stunning! I love how different it is to other covers with not having a cover model or a couple on it, but instead having something that symbolises the book in a way! Big thank you to Netgalley and Waterhouse Press for an ARC of Misadventures of a City Girl!
3.5 Writing was good, I liked Madison and Luke. I liked the story, it was good. I felt that it went really quickly for me, maybe too quickly. That could have been affected by my mood at the time of reading. I wish there was more depth, but I get it can be hard to get everything and more into a stand alone book. It was a good book.
So, I loved this. Madison is a city girl with a broken heart, hoping for a peaceful getaway in the mountains but the resort just isn't her thing. Mountain man Luke is though. The first couple times these two stumble across each other's paths is just HOT. I liked Madison because she was pretty adaptable and open, she got turned on by all his manly ways like fighting and chopping wood (I am guilty of reacting the same way). Luke has been hurt before too and has a lot to overcome to these two prove they are willing to do anything to be together.
I laughed and cried during this story. Oh and was super surprised near the end! Speaking of endings, it's so good. Just trust me.
I loved this quick hot, sexy read!
I usually don't love a book that has such an insta-connection, but this was so well written that you can't help but love it all. Luke and Madison's story is amazing story and I fell in love with them as a couple. Lord the sex was amazing...that Luke knows how to work his mouth down south! Madison is a lucky gal. It makes me want to find my very own lumberjack!
A very hot and entertaining read. Very sexy and highly recommended.
I think the misadventures books are going to be one of the best series out this year. Lots and lots to love about this book and I think the same is going to be about all of them. I'm made up that I tried this book and can't wait for more from them. This has such a fantastic story that you feel you are apart of with the characters, draws you right into the book. Chemistry between the characters is hot and you can't help rooting for them as a couple and to get there HEA would recommend to everyone
Book one in the Misadventures series, starts off with a bang.
This sizzling fun read had a great storyline and interesting characters. You'll fall in love with Madison and Luke as their romance blossoms.
Great book and I highly recommend it.
This book was great! I just love all of the misadventure books! If you haven't read them yet you are missing out!!!!! Loved it!!
It only takes one person to show you what you've been missing in life.
Madison is one strong, trying to have it all together woman! When her life is thrown into the public eye (in a negative way) she escapes to the woods. She needs to figure out her life and what she deserves.
Enter Luke...
Every description of him in this book I could visualize. The beard, the long hair, the muscles. I loved his story and his past.
I also love how he would do anything for her. Anything!
The story was entertaining and the writing was really good!
Really enjoyed this book - don't we all want to escape to a secluded retreat sometimes? I could totally identify with Madison. And Luke yummy don't get me started on all that hot Alpha goodness? Where do I sign up for some of that?. Would totally recommend this as a hot beach read bit of escapism
This story ticks a lot of boxes: hot leads, steamy, HEA, a dash of uncertainty a bit more steam besides! Diverting and entertaining - all in all an enjoyable read.
This is the first book in this series by this author. I really enjoyed this book, I was sucked in from the first page. I fell in love with the characters as I read. This is a fast paced story with plenty of hot and steamy scenes. This is the perfect beach read, fun, sexy and easy to read. I can' t wait to read more in this series and by these authors in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book
Luke and Madison are about my favorite story so far in these collection of books. I love how everything comes together during a snow storm. I have heard so many things about this one particular book that had me OMG I have to read it. This book delivers on everything it says. Steamy, seductive and just a great read altogether. Y'all need to get out there and read this book.
The start of the Misadventure series from a variety of favorite authors is downright DELICIOUS! Misadventures Of A City Girl was a hot, sexy, irresistible romance with scorching sex and a dream worthy romance that I fell in love with HARD AND FAST!
This is writing at its best. Madison and Luke are total opposites, but dang they have major chemistry. Madison is the beautiful city girl. She is smart, gorgeous, sassy, and is hurting from a relationship that burned her while Luke is a wild man who is downright decadent looking who is a loner by heart. When these two meet, the sparks flew and I couldn't help the sigh I let out as I watched their romance bloom to something that any romance lover can cherish. This Misadventure series I can already tell will be a all time favorite and I am looking forward the next one. This story had passion, flare, well developed characters and one hell of a satisfying storyline. This is a romantic lover's wet dream! Loved it to pieces!
Misadventures Of A City Girl gets a Divine FIVE SHOOTING STARS!
