A refreshing insight to how oposits attract! The raw attraction between Luke and Madison was so enjoyable to read. I loved that the drama of their seperate lifes wasn't the basis of the book. It was their life together in which it was centered around.

Luke was venerable with his own demons that he wasn't afraid to show. He was a 'real' person not just an alpha.

While Madison had her own personal struggles their individual hurt and pain was washed away with their lust for eachother.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a romance that is relateable.

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

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!

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

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!

What an awesome story. This my first book by Meredith Wild and Chelle Bliss and I wasn't disappointed. Who doesn't dream of starting over and finding the love of your life? Madison and Luke were fun and real and I found myself cheering when they got together.

I am loving these "Misadventures" books. They are fun and not too heavy! A quick read that is entertaining! I believe I have read them all so far. For a few hours of escape, pick up one of the Misadventures and enjoy! Great beach read!

I was lucky to get a copy of this amazing book before it was released onto shelves, and I was not disappointed! The connection between Madison and Luke was hot and steamy! Once I started reading I wasn't able to put it down and finished the book in 4 hours! I can't wait until the other books from this series is released!

This book was tagged as romance but seemed more erotic than romance. I was turned off and probably should make sure I know what I'm getting into. I was so distracted by the sexual description that I didn't really get a sense of the story. It started of great; I was intrigued but it quickly went down hill. Erotica is an acquired taste, for which I don't have the right taste buds for.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely LOVED this novel; I read it in about five hours. I just couldn't put it down. MISADVENTURES OF A CITY GIRL follows the romance between two unlikely people: Madison, a makeup artist for celebrities and a true city girl at heart, and Luke, an ex-Navy SEAL harboring PTSD and a strong desire to live a reclusive life. This is my first Chelle Bliss novel, but it isn't my first Meredith Wild novel, and once again, Wild did not disappoint. This book is hot, hot, HOT! Going in, I knew to expect little plot and lots of steam, so I wasn't surprised that the relationship between Madison and Luke is a perfect example of insta-love. Personally, I don't mind insta-love in novels, but that might be a deal breaker for some people.

With that being said, this is still a fantastic novel, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys erotic romance and sexy mountain men! I give this 5/5 stars.

Let me start by saying I know this is written for women.
But I have to say I found this to be such an easy read.
It was fun and a real joy to read.
I shall certainly be reading more from this series.

If your definition of “misadventures” is “have hot sex over and over with a guy you’ve just met and have barely talked to,” then this book is for you. Here we have two people who shouldn’t have anything in common - Madison is the “city girl” who has come to a mountain spa to try to recover from her actor-husband cheating on her and then ending their marriage. Luke Dawson is a former Navy Seal living in the wilderness because his PTSD just won’t let him cope with society. Their first encounters involve him witnessing her pleasuring herself and the next day, she witnesses him doing the same thing. So, of course, they have to sleep together. And then they fall in love and have much more sex.

I don’t mind sexy times in my romance novels, but there needs to be a bit more plot and character development instead of just magically declaring that they’re in love without really knowing each other or having spent much time together that wasn’t spent making love. We can only suspend disbelief so much.

First off - thanks to the folks at Netgalley and Waterhouse Press for getting me an advance copy of this to read and review.  It's a sweet story about a woman who's going through a huge change in her life and needs grounding, and a man who's been through more than enough in his life and just needs to find center.

Madison needs to escape TMZ and all the celebrity news surrounding her husbands affair - a woman that he's now engaged to we learn, and she decides to go off the grid - to a place where she can be alone, get some zen and discover how to be happy again.  What she finds at Avalon though is the opposite of that.  She's quickly irritated and annoyed by all the people that are around and how they always want her to participate in group activities and this leads her to go hiking alone.  She's finally gotten a few moments to enjoy the quiet when she sees Luke in the distance, watching all her personal and private moves - and of course we know the story will take off from there.

Luke on the other hand is the epitome of the sexy mountain man - a guy who is rough around the edges but who has the body and looks to pull it off.  He's an ex Navy SEAL and he's just trying to get his life back after the horrors that he lived with while on duty.  He finds that he can't hardly be around people anymore because of the PTSD so of course his natural reactions to seeing Madison make him question everything.

When a snowstorm hits and Madison hurts herself and is then trapped with Luke, we see how things get steamy fast.  Madison needs to find herself again, and find that she's still sexy and wanted by a man, and Luke needs to have that connection with someone as well.  Their journey together is a really sweet one.  We see that they open up to one another in ways that weren't expected and they have a level of comfort that really provides a strong foundation to the physical connection that they clearly have.

When Madison's ex shows up and Madison leaves to go back to LA, we're left wondering what's going to happen to these two.  They have something that could be wonderful, but we know that Maddy can't leave LA and Luke won't survive there.  The way that this is written makes us so anxious and curious about where they will net out since there's really only so much compromise that either can do.
