4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am loving these Misadventure short stories. This was a City Girl meets Mountain Man wild and crazy romance story. There were some super crazy scenes in this one where you couldn't help but gasp and laugh.
The ending of this one was so super sweet. I loved every minute of this short story. It was just the perfect length for an afternoon read.
Thanks NetGalley and Waterhouse Press for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

I received a free digital copy of this book from the publishers/author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Madison has run away to a mountain resort to get over her divorce from her cheating ex when she meets the solitary Luke. Luke has suffered PTSD since the war and prefers being alone, but Madison ends up becoming his world, and he hers.

This book starts more or less straight away with some sexy things, and from then on, they don’t really stop. I did enjoy the chemistry and relationship between Madison and Luke, and it helps that Luke is a total dreamboat. This book was a great read with a story that wasn’t complicated whatsoever and just two people having a good time…or a GREAT time.

There were parts that were super cringe with some things said by the characters that had me red with second hand embarrassment, and obviously nothing like this would ever happen in real life, work. At one point in the book, there was a fight in this bar/restaurant and I thought it was totally pointless.

I adored this story..it was freaking hot and soo sweet too!
I loved both Madison and Luke..Their chemistry is just off the charts, but even more I loved that they are complete opposite and they fit perfectly together. I loved the compromises and the way their bond was ao unexpected yet the best thing ever.
Luke might be a recluse but dang, he can be bossy and of few words, but he can also be charming.
Maxison is so strong, even when she thinks she isn't.
I adored them together!

What a great and completely addicting read!!! I did not want to put my kindle down!!! We meet Madison & Luke and what a pair they are! Luke is the kind of man that any girl would def find beyond mouth watering and Madison cross paths with him when both least expect it. Be sure to check this baby out!!! You will be hooked from start to finish!!!

When I was signing up for the Misadventure of a City Girl I wasn't sure what to expect. Both authors were new to me and I toke a chance on the synopsis, but who doesn't love a mountain alpha man.
This was perfect for what I wanted to read. The story is intriguing, entertaining and definitely hot. There is heartbreak and unexpected love, romance and so much sexy.
Short, But does not suffer for it.

Misadventures of a City Girl is a sweet, sexy insta-love kinda thing. Well maybe not insta, but really quick.

Madison needs time away from LA. Time away from her cheating ex. Just time away. So she books herself a retreat at a hippie dippy kind of place. On her first day there, she's pleasuring herself in the water and suddenly she notices a hunky mountain man watching her. What could have been a really hot encounter, though, fizzles when he turns out to be a big grump and leaves her to find her own way back to her cabin after leading her to the trail. She's totally intrigued by him and sets off to find him the next day. When she comes upon a cabin set away from everything, and walks in on said hunky mountain man pleasuring HIMSELF, all bets are off for our two lovers.

I have to admit that Misadventures was not quite what I expected. I wasn't expecting it to be pretty much just one big ball of sexy times. But I'm not disappointed because Madison and Luke are hot together, and on their own, are likable characters with interesting backstories. I perhaps wished for a bit more relationship development before rushing headlong into all the sex, or at least, WHILE they were having all their steamy times, but honestly, it's not that big of a deal because Misadventures is a really entertaining, sweet piece of smut with heart.

If you like your romances with a smidge of heart, a lot of sweet, and LOTS of sex, Misadventures of a City Girl is the story for you. 1 click today!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. Misadventures of a City Girl, is one book that shows us that there is misadventures, love after heartache, and how to trust our instincts and body when our minds say otherwise. You can always find love when your on a misadventure. I highly recommend reading this book, and hope to read more of Madison and Luke in the future

Such a sweet story! I really connected to the characters. The writing was excellent which I always find in Meredith Wild's work. Great addition to this series.

This is a quick and steamy read. Madison just got divorced from her famous husband. She needs to relax and unwind from her life. She ends up at a quirky retreat that she can't handle so she goes exploring. Enter Luke. Luke is a former soldier turned mountain man. When these two meet the pages start heating up. Their love story is also sweet and they help each other heal.

I really enjoyed Luke & Madison's story! I was hooked from the first page! Their story makes me want to go to the mountains and find my own alpha mountain man!

I love that through personal struggle, Madison found strength and was smart enough to realize she needed time away.
Luke was a dream mountain man that is still a gentleman.

I love Luke & Madison's banter back and forth. I love that they pushed each other outside their comfort zones. Love love loved these two together! A great couple with amazing chemistry.

This was a great read that I would highly recommend!

This was a HOT and fast paced page turner. Madison is freshly divorced and just wants out of town and away from everyone and everything. Off she goes to Avalon which is reported to be a "hippie"resort in northern California. After check in though she is overwhelmed and all she wants is to take a walk and ends up at the hot springs and thinking she is alone she strips and takes a swim. Time gets away and her inhibitions too and when she opens her eyes she not alone. Luke Dawson is a former SEAL and knows he is not fit to be around people nor does he want to be. He did not want to scare this beautiful woman but it looks like he has. It has gotten dark so he leads her back to her Avalon. Great start but the explosion starts the next day when they meet again and get stranded by a spring storm. Instant attraction that turns to more and these two who are so much alike it is uncanny. I truly had a great time reading this one and look forward to more Misadventures!

**Received this ARC for review from the publisher via NetGalley**

Luke Dawson lives off the grid. He wants a quiet and relatively simple life. He’s done his part for the country and now he wants to be left alone. Sounds like it’s an ideal life for himself. However that does kind of get thrown offtrack the minute Madison waltzes into his life.

Madison has come to Avalon Springs for a break from her reality and just wants to escape and be by herself for a while. She didn’t count on meeting Luke. These two explode when they are together and damn it is hot to read. There is drama and a lot of misunderstandings but this short sweet romance made me smile. I love the connection the authors forge. It’s sweet and definitely a romanc I recommend a lot.

4 stars

Starting over in life sucks. Madison Atwood is a makeup artist in LA and very much in the public eye. After getting a divorce from her tabloid covered cheating husband, Madison is sick of the rat race.  She married her ex young, and stood by him as his career took hold.  He never once did anything for her. Feeling humiliated, divorced, and tired of putting on a brave face for the paparazzi, she knows she has to get away from it all to find the true Madison again.  Visiting the Avalon Springs Retreat in the mountains may just be the ticket.  

Upon arriving at the retreat, Madison is fidgety. What do I do now??  Not wanting to see other guests, she decides she wants to tour the property herself. She happens upon the hot springs the retreat is named for, and with no one around, she decides to take a dip in the warm waters-skinny dip that is! She only thought no one was around.....

Luke is a recluse and holed up in his mountain cabin after being discharged from the military.  As a decorated Navy Seal, Luke has seen and done things most people would cringe at. He is bad with people, so his life in the clean mountain air, away from civilization is comfort. But he saw her in the springs. He chastises himself for not looking away...but he couldn't. She was enchanting. Now, she's all he can think about!

After a second encounter, their attraction boils over and they give into it. The chemistry from these two is undeniable! They can't get enough of one another! Gosh it was so hot!!  Pretty quickly, they both can't see a life without the other. Luke's home is in the mountains and Madison's home is in LA-two very different worlds. Can they somehow find common ground???

I absolutely loved Misadventures of a City Girl!! Having been co-written by two authors, Meredith Wild and Chelle Bliss, you would never guessed it as the story and dialog flowed seamlessly!  I fell in love with this couple from the get-go and I knew they had to somehow figure out a way to be together. Luke was a strong man, he knew his strengths and weaknesses.  Madison made him rethink what his limits were.  He loved her and needed her like his next breath.  Madison felt the same way. She was ready to give up her gorgeous house in the Hollywood hills to be with Luke, but she needed some of her basic creature comforts. As hard as it was, she knew Luke couldn't stay in the city though. They had to figure something out.

The journey we are given is truly an emotional one on so many levels.  Both people are pushed past their fears and hopes that the other will catch them. I relished the ending and epilogue! Unforgettable! 

This first story of the Misadventures series is truly one for the books! I can't wait to dive into the next one!!

5 Stars/4 Flames

This book was gifted to me by Waterhouse Press from NetGalley for a voluntary review.  The review and ratings are solely my opinions.

I always wonder how two authors can co-write a book. How they can seamlessly blend together to for one voice. Meredith Wild and Chelle Bliss nailed it. This book is hot. There are no other words to describe it. It's an easy read with a ton of smoking' sex scenes. It's sweet and quirky and romantic. The perfect book when you're in the mood for something light and sexy.

OMG can we please get this as a movie and it actually star Brock O’Hurn?? I swear these ladies did AMAZING!! I am a HUGE Chelle Bliss fan. This is my first read from Meredith Wild. But these ladies kicked ASS!! I didn’t want this book to end.

Hi, sweeties! I ought to have published this review two weeks ago or so, but I was busy writing my novel. In this one-week break from writing, I'll post some of the reviews about the books I've recently read.

PREMISE
I've never been so happy in my life like when I have been approved on Netgalley by Waterhouse Press to review their books. I love them! This book is so hot, like his main character, and it puts you in the mood to reflect about what matter the most in your life: love or fame?

SYNOPSIS
Fresh off a divorce from a Hollywood hotshot, Madison Atwood needs an escape. With the paparazzi fresh on her heels and her love life splashed on every tabloid, she runs away to a swanky retreat in Northern California. Avalon Springs is the mountainside haven she needs to find herself again.

Luke Dawson lives off the grid, preferring solitude to society. When he finds a beautiful woman soaking in the hot springs on his property, he can’t stop himself from watching her. She captures his attention, but she’s just a city girl—a beautiful distraction disturbing the peace he’s settled here to find.

When Madison discovers Luke’s secluded cabin, he can’t turn her away again. They make no promises. Madison needs to feel wanted again, and Luke misses the touch of a woman. But when mother nature has other plans, they’re forced to spend more than a night of passion together. Can Luke say goodbye to the only woman who’s made him feeling anything in years, and can Madison leave behind the man who brought her back to life?
REVIEW
"Misadventures of a city girl" it's the first book of the Misadventures series. I loved the characters in this book, they were very well developed and it wasn't so full of chliché as it may seem to reader that aren't acquainted with romances.

Madison Atwood has recently divorced from his famous ex husband, who has betrayed her for another woman. Deceptioned and sad, she decides to take a week off in the mountain area of Los Angeles. There she will meet Luke Dawson, a super hot boy, that made me sweat while I was reading, because of his sexiness. Seriously, I think that american writers have a thing for such sexy men, because every time I read an USA novel, I'm sure I will find one sexy character. Not that I'm complaining about it, I love them! But Luke was in the Marine, and when his duty to serve his country endend, he felt like he didn't fit the norma world anymore, so he decided to isolate himself from the outside world. The truth is, Luke had lost many friends during his years in the Navy SEALS, that he suffered from PSTD. This is the main reason why he decided to isolate himself from the world in which everyone lives in. But when he surprises Madison giving herself pleasure on the rocks outside the springs near his house, everything changes for him.

She's always rushing. Running headfirst into situations she hasn't thought. (...) She's all passion and no goddamn sense.
(Luke Dawson)
After a sexual beginning, their relationship begin to become stronger and stronger. They will heal each other's wounds. Luke will heal Madison's broken heart, and Madison will bring him to life again.

A novel that teaches us that we will have second chances if we trust ourselves and give fate a try.
A novel that teaches us that we can learn to love again.
A novel that teaches us that love can be found in the most strange ways.

I advise this novel to you all, and I greet from you with a quote from this book. Can't wait to read the next books of this series. Strongly advised to all my reader who love romances!
"I finally had the type of love that Susan told me to chaase.
But it was the opposite. I ran. He chased.
We both fell together."
(Madison Atwood)

Whoa.!!!! Let me start with that word because this book is sex on a page. This book most definitely live up to the hype of being scorching hot, but is it enough to make a great story.? Let's find out. First I wanted to give you a little insight on this hot read. First we have the city girl, Madison, and our hot lumberjack sex on a stick, Luke. Madison is a Hollywood make-up who was recently divorced from a no-good cheating husband and was looking for a nice, quiet retreat from the noisy fast-paced city. Little does she know, she will meet Luke, an ex-navy seal who lives in the cabin deep in the forest, and from there the temperature in this book reach blaring red levels.

In the first 5 pages of this book you get a sex scene and it really surprised me. I guess I should have expected it because Ms. Wild is the queen of erotica. The sex scenes are hot to say the least and Luke is a great hero. He is not an alpha or a broody, battered hero, but he is a former navy seal who loved and lost. I enjoyed Madison in small doses.

Now let's get to the bad part of the book. Eventhough this book had a hot lumberjack and the sex scenes were hot, it was not enough to carry this story. The story line was weak and their relationship did not seem realistic. I would still recommend the book though because anyone who wants a hot read, this is most definitely the book to pick up.

Pleasantly surprised by the story. Wasn't sure what to expect from the excerpt I'd read. This is definitely a story of opposites attracting and overcoming obstacles. Madison is used to being in the spotlight. While Luke does his best to remain on his own. Throw them together and the chemistry is off the charts.

Misadventures of a City Girl by Meredith Wild & Chelle Bliss is the new start of a Series Called "Misadventures". Each “misadventure” is written by different author and for this it is written by two authors- Meredith Wild & Chelle Bliss.
This is the story of Madison Atwood and Luke Dawson. Madison just got went through a horrible divorce and she left Hollywood for the rest and relaxation in the woods. What she thought was supposed to be her time to unwind and clear her mind turned out to be one grand adventure with a sexy and moody ex- Navy Seal named Luke Dawson. Both Madison and Luke are trying to heal their wounds and each started off trying to fight the attraction they feel towards one another but fate comes in to play big time. You don’t want to miss this story!!! I wish it was a full length novel, that is how awesome it is.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *****
"I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***

5☆ Hot, Steamy, Sexy and will leave you wanting more!

The Misadventures of a City Girl is the very first book in the Misadventures series.
It was also my first book by Meredith Wild and Chelle Bliss.

The Misadventures of a city girl is sexy, fun, Passionate, sensitive.and emotional.

When Madison finally gets her divorce through, she knows she needs a change of scenery to escape the reality.
So she packs up and sets off to North Carolina and the wilderness that offers the calm and tranquillity she craves.

So when Madison meets Luke things are about to get a whole lot steamy.

Luke is Ex Navy who retires to the secluded Avalon Springs.
 He is not used to being around people. He enjoys the quiet back to Nature lifestyle and that's exactly how he likes it.
The effects of his job have clearly impacted Luke and his need to be secluded and away from the hustle and bustle.

Well that is until Madison comes to Avalon Springs looking for the exact same thing. They both have no idea that their encounter at the spa that night would turn into a whirlwind of sex, lust, passion and love!

Madison and Luke have an instant connection. But WOW do they push each other's buttons.
Madison and Luke couldn't be more opposite, but as the saying goes.... opposites attract!.... and Wow do the attract!!

Being stuck together in a small cabin, it's only a matter of time before it's not just the fire that's flaming!!

The chemistry between them is electric and they simply sizzle, they just can't keep their hands off each other, devouring each other.

What starts off with a lustful relationship soon turns into something very special.
Madison goes there to heal her broken heart but she may of just fixed it and fell in love again.

This book is a must read for those wanting an exciting hot, fast sexy read that will leave you wanting more but at the same time plays with your emotions.

Would I recommend this book...... 100% ....YES!!!!....Bring on Book 2!!
