Luke likes living in the mountainside alone. Madison finds Luke's property by accident & then finds Luke. Will they let each other into their lives & for how long? Meredith Wild & Chelle Bliss wrote a wonderful story.

This was a great fast read by one of my favorite authors, Meredith Wild, with an introduction to author Chelle Bliss as well. I read it in one day and that hasn't happened in a while. Half the book is sex, but the romance is also sweet and it's a great story of two broken souls who come together to heal.

Madison is spending 4 weeks at some hippie retreat in Northern California after finalizing her divorce from a Hollywood actor that cheated on her. She'd been with the guy since they were in high school, so she was pretty heartbroken and needed to just get away. However, when she arrives at the retreat, she quickly realizes that it's not going to be that relaxing given all the people and activities. So she adventures out the first day, ends up at the hot springs, naked and in a compromising position when Luke spots her and of course scares her.

Luke is a former Navy SEAL living in the mountains all alone since he can't handle city living due to his PTSD. He's seen and done things that he doesn't think makes him fit to be around people, much less a woman. When he sees Madison lounging naked on a rock though, he finds himself immediately attracted to the beautiful woman.

Things heat up very quickly with these two and it's hot. They pretty much have sex every chance they get. Luke is one hot mountain man, that's for sure. And Madison is fierce and protective of her mountain man, which was incredibly sweet. Their relationship developed really quickly, but it was believable. They just had that undeniable chemistry and were obviously meant to be together. Int he end, they both compromised and came up with a way that made their relationship work, despite Luke's dislike of the city and Madison's need to not be stuck in the middle of nowhere.

The premise of this book is a sweet story of how a down-in-the-depths City girl, Madison, finds her other half in mountain man Luke. There’s electricity between the two right away and embroil in lots of sex. Now I don’t mind stories full of sex but failed to see what developed in Madison and Luke’s relationship that changed lust into love. At least the kind that will survive a marriage.

I received a free copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have to be honest, I didn't love this book. In fact I read the first half, got bored with it, left it for a few months and then finally finished it because I thought I should give it a chance.

This book is really just an average romance with all the standard features like impossibly gorgeous characters, far-fetched scenarios and way to much unbelievable sex. To be frank, it bored me and there was nothing special about it to set it apart from all the other contemporary romance also-rans out there. Lovers of fantastical romances and fairytale happy-ever-afters will probably love this (it appears many do, judging by the number of 5-star reviews it has), but if you're on the more practical side, then it might be a bit to over the top to really get carried away by the story.

I found a few too many scenes and storylines that didn't really fit in, like the scene in the bar and the one with Madison's ex-mother-in-law. It was as if they were being used as plot devices to push the story to a desired point and weren't really a part of the storyline as a whole. They were introduced, dealt with and finished without affecting the story either side of them.

I would recommend this to romance readers who don't mind far-fetched stories and can endure all the sex scenes, which just become repetitive after a while. I doubt I'll read any of the authors' other work or the other books in this collection. Sorry, just not for me.

I guess you truly shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, I was expecting a bit more romance and plot but this was pretty much pure smut. I have no problem with that and I've never read anything by these authors before so maybe I would have known more of what to expect if I had. Everything was there to add some story to the sex (the cheating ex-husband, PTSD from his time as a SEAL) but I didn't feel they were adequately used. It was like her nether regions were sprinkled with magic fairy dust and cured him.

A Hollywood stars ex-wife visits a spa and, while taking a walk off the beaten path, meets up with a "hermit". What could they possibly have in common? Meredith (the city girl) learns that there is more to life than the big city and there is more than nature to be found on the road less travelled.

Meredith Wild and Chelle Bliss prove to be quite the dynamic writing duo, serving up tons of sizzle and plenty of heart with Misadventures of a City Girl. Luke and Madison’s story was fun, flirty, and delightfully filthy, with a few surprises thrown in for good measure. From their very first encounter, this pair exuded sexual tension and raw attraction. Luke and Madison’s chemistry burned hot and bright as their personalities clashed and they fought to find middle ground. The authors did a great job playing off of the couple’s vastly different lifestyles, ensuring that the reader was firmly invested in their journey together.

I adore a good opposites attract storyline and this one was no exception. However, the best part of Luke and Madison’s journey was discovering they might just be more similar than was initially apparent. Wild and Bliss took the relationship between the hero and heroine to new places as they explored the couple’s past heartbreaks and personal histories, developing unexpected emotional connections that took me by surprise. I appreciated getting to know Madison on a more significant level and only wish Luke’s character had undergone the same amount of development. There were several moments that felt like missed opportunities to really get to know Luke beyond the superficial facts. Regardless I enjoyed this book for the light, sexy read that it was.

Luke and Madison’s journey moved quickly, pulling the reader in and dousing them in the flames of this couple’s red-hot love story. The overall storyline was undoubtedly intriguing and I liked the progression of the relationship and it’s eventual resolution. Luke and Madison had a great push and pull that kept me grinning as I read this novel. The authors certainly made for quite the pair in their own right, their writing styles blending well together and leaving me to wonder what else they might be capable of together. If you’re looking for a fast-paced, entertaining, and seriously scorching read then you’ve definitely found it with Misadventures of a City Girl.

From the description, I didn't know the sex was going to be so graphic. I must have missed that part when I requested it. Our library did order it for a few of its branches, though.

I was lucky to receive a hardcover ARC for a review.

Madison Atwood is finally putting herself first, and escapes to a retreat to find herself again. Fresh from a divorce, Madison deserves this vacation. She explores the resort, and finds a hot springs to relax in.

When Luke Dawson spots the naked vacationer, his life changes forever. Madison and Luke forge a relationship neither one was looking for. Will the City Girl revive the Mountain Man? Can a love last between these two?

Packed full of heat, raw emotion, and sparks, Meredith Wild and Chelle Bliss did a fantastic job of bringing these two characters together, and making the reader yearn for more.

Can’t wait to read the next book in the Misadventures series!

Loved this story about Luke and Madison. Both have past hurts that have left them alone, but they find each other even though they resist as long as they can. Glad they found their HEA!

4.5 Stars!

Hot damn this book was great! I absolutely loved this story that caught me by surprise and held me captive until the very last word.

I adored both characters. Luke is just down right yummy and dare I say absolutely perfect! A lethal package in more than one way. Madison is a great heroine too. She's smart, independent, feisty and strong. They were good together, and good for each other. What starts out as pure physical attraction morphs into so much more. I was beyond thrilled with their love story and the sex scenes between these two were blazing HOT. Love is truly a beautiful thing and it is a gift to have someone who compliments you to share your life with....

This book is a fantastic opener to the Misadventures Series and I can't wait find my way through the rest. An absolute delight to read and I recommend it!

This book was steamy and sweet. Total opposites coming together, being the missing piece to their own puzzle and opening their eyes to a different world. Quick but good read.

A chance encounter puts her on the path to meet Mountain man Luke a reclusive veteran Seal with a bad case of PTSD. Instant passion ensues. After Madison is is injured trying to sneak away from their chance encounter they actually delve past that initial burst of lust to see if a city girl and a mountain man can really have something together.

This was a really good story about Madison and Luke. Luke is a military vet who has become reclusive up in the mountains. When he stumbles upon Madison out in the woods, he feels things that he never thought he could feel. Madison is just getting out of a bad marriage and never expects to find the love of her life up in the mountains.

This was a good quick read. There was a lot of heat and chemistry between Madison and Luke. I loved watching Luke come out of his shell for her. I would have liked more closure with Madison's ex and I feel like Luke would have had a harder time moving to the city. But all in all, it was a good read.
