Whew! What a ride!!!  I love Misadventures of a Good Wife! This was one for the record books!  I started reading this book and I was so immersed I never put it down!! Geez! This story made me drop my mouth open and say did I just read that right?  Yea, I did.... I HAD to keep reading!

The story is incredible and the true love that soulmates possess was the heart of this book.  Kate and Price have what everyone would dream to have.  They have a life where their love is epic! One that puts that other person first. One that is so beautiful and revered, but also so very heart-wrenching when disaster strikes.  

The blurb gives you the gist, but the execution is so well done. It isn't cheesy, and it isn't corny. It grips you right in the heart and never lets go! The plot is totally believable and all the twists and turns are just so well done. The all-encompassing love they have for each other and the need to stay together, overrides any fear of the unknown. I was certain everything in the end would be all right! Getting there was a challenge, but the authors never let me down!

Meredith Wild and Helen Hardt take their writing abilities to the next level with this book! It was worth every minute I spent with Price and Kate! I can see myself reading this over and over! I have loved all the books I have read in this Misadventures series, but this one hold a special place in my heart!

This was a quick read that I enjoyed. I am really enjoying the Misadventure series written by different authors.

It has been a year since Kate lost her husband. They were so in love and had great jobs in New York. When her husband has to go out of town for business and didn’t come home. She never imagined she would get that dreadful knock on her door letting her know her husband wasn’t coming home.

Moving on has been really hard for Kate she hasn’t been living life she’s just been getting by. Her sister in law is able to convince her to go on a vacation for three weeks. Give her a chance to clear her head and get away from home.

The same day she gets there she takes a walk on the beach that changed her life when she sees her husband walking towards her. She thinks she’s dreaming, he’s dead he can’t be at the beach.

Price did the only thing he could to protect his wife and family. It has been a long year for him without his wife and his family. Will he be able to convince his wife to hear him out and give him another chance?

I can’t wait for the next book in this series.

this book started off really well , it did for me personally slow down a bit during the middle but towards the end it was really good! Kate despite grieving her dead husband is a strong character in this book n overcomes everything really well , I went into this book totally blind and I think I enjoyed it more for it , not as good as city girl but a definite must read

3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I gave this one only 3 stars because the entire book was overwhelmed with way too many sex scenes. The actual story would have been better if they weren't having sex every ten minutes.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy sex scenes in my book. And usually the more steamier the better. But this one just had way too many for this short of a story.
I didn't like the beginning of the story very much and it made me start to dislike Price. I kept waiting to find out what he had done wrong and that he would be one of the bad guys. But I did enjoy the ending and was glad how everything turned out.
Thanks NetGalley and Waterhouse Press for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

What would you do if you found out you the love of your life want really dead? This fast paced thriller takes you in a wild ride. Kate and Price find plenty of time to reconnect the smoking hot chemistry while trying to regain their lives. The ending was a bit of a letdown, but that's just my opinion.

Price and Kate had a wild wind love at first sight. After college Price started his job as a day trader and Kate started her job as a copywriter for the New York Tribune. Price was going on one of his business trips and he would be gone for a week. But the next day the Police came to Kate’s door and told her the plane price had been on had crashed and price was dead. Katye was devastated and couldn’t seem to bounce back. Michelle was Kate’s sister in law and she told Kate she needed a vacation . But Kate had barely worked in the last year since Price’s death . price had left her a large insurance settlement and with proper management Kate would never have to work again. Kate felt she no longer had it in her to work. Michelle took Kate on a girl’s trip to a remote island in the South Pacific- Leiloa for three weeks. Kate felt like she had lost everything when she lost Price. Michelle told Kate to take a walk on the beach and watch the sunset she would catch up with her. But then Kate thought she was seeing a ghost …. It was Price. But how could that be she had buried him a year ago. Price knew he could have let Kate move on and forget him. But he knew when he called Michelle he wanted Kate back even if she had fallen for someone else she was his wife. Kate froze and Price pulled Kate to him and she sobbed and the pain in her sobs was so very raw. Price had been living on a boat and he was the one that actually found this rental house, it had to be remote. Price told Kate he couldn’t tell her everything and still keep her safe but he would tell her what he could. Price didn’t have a choice but to fake his death they had tried to kill him and he now needed Kate to go into hiding with him.
I did like this book a lot. I liked the plot and pace. This was a quick good enjoyable read that kept my attention and interest. I didn’t like how Price only told Kate bits and pieces of what happened and why he faked his death and stayed away from her for a year. I also didn’t like how he used sex to distract Kate from the questions she wanted answers for. She had a right to know after all he had put her through hell. I loved the mystery and suspense and danger in this book. But I did feel there was a little too much sex. I loved the twists in the book. I also loved how Kate and Price loved each other and how dedicated they were to each other. I loved the characters and the twists and turns of this book and I recommend

Okay, so there’s really not much I didn’t enjoy about this story. There’s actually not much I haven’t enjoyed about the series itself. I’m on book 5 right now!

This one took me a bit by surprise. Why? I’m not a suspense kinda girl. Normally, if the suspense overshadows the romance in the story, I start to stray and don’t finish. That wasn’t the case. Not only was the suspense captivating as heck, but the sexual chemistry between our leads was OFF THE CHARTS. I mean seriously delicious guys!

Let’s talk about the suspense part for a second … this is twisty and turny and all kinds of wavy LOL I honestly couldn’t wait to read the next page just to find out something new or what the next nooooooooo moment was going to be. And let me just be frank here … the sexual nature of this book is FAN.TASTIC! These two women can write good sex! #TRUTH

If you want more sex than story, this is the book to read. What started out as a great idea, just turned in to a mediocre story. I kept waiting for the plot to pick up, but the characters were too busy having sex. Just disappointing

Was not a huge fan of this book. I found it to be a little hard to believe on a few different levels. The story of Kate and Price who have their happily ever after until a plan crash changes their lives..... because of work that Price in involved with and a year after his death the real story starts to unfold. I did not hate the book, but it was not a favorite. I was so looking forward to this book, as I LOVED the 1st book in this series. But much like bosses, teachers and coaches..... you have to read this and see if it is your taste....

I loved this Misadventure! It has the perfect mix of action, adventure, a bit of suspense, and of course sexy romance. I loved Kate and Price. Kate is so much better than me, I don't know that I would have been able to forgive Price so quickly. I can't wait for the next Misadventure! #MSBB

A shocking story of deception! Our journey is filled with equal parts of steamy sex, danger and the quest towards a happily ever after! Sure, it's a bit far fetched, but it's fun! You won't be disappointed with the way this intrigue plays out and the passion these two exhibit is off the charts!

Kate Lewis finds herself still buried in grief a year after her husband's plane crashed while on a business trip. She never expected to be trying to make her way in this world without her other half. Her sister-in-law and friend has been great about trying to keep her moving and getting her up and about, so when she comes up with a plan that they should dash off to a South Pacific island for a three week vacation, she doesn't even have the energy to protest. When they arrive and she ventures out for a walk on the beach, she's shocked to see a ghost from her past walking towards her!

Price Lewis stumbled across some information that someone was willing to kill him for. He felt he had no option but to fake his death in order to keep his wife and family safe from these mad men. He's been on the move for the last year and is finally taking a step to let Kate know he's alive ... and see if he can convince her to leave the life they led behind and disappear with him forever!

Interesting read that I'll make you a bit emotional. The first part of the book, I was sad for Kate. See mourned her husband and she felt like she lost her world. As the story goes, the story keeps on getting interesting. Someone from the past will be back and will make things complicated. What I love about this book is that it's full of surprises and the story will make you guess on what will happen next. Both authors did a good job on this book! Loved it!

I loved reading the awesome romance story, second book in the Misadventure series. About a year ago, Kate believed her husband, Pierce, died in a plane crash. Kate can't believe her husband is still alive and wants answers. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read love story.

3.5/5
Meredith and Helen have perfectly blended hot romance with a tension fuelled thriller.

Price and Kate are the perfect example of soul-mates, they fit seamlessly together and are willing to sacrifice themselves for the others happiness and safety. Although they are both extremely career driven they still make time for each other.

Price inadvertently stumbles upon criminal activity placing not only his life in danger but also Kate's, he chooses to fake his own death in order to protect the person he loves above all else.

However, Price and Kate are unable to function without each other, leading to a secret reunion a year later. There is a lot of pain to overcome let alone the threat that is still very much alive.

Tension and action vies for position with the sweetest, sexiest romance as Kate and Price face the future and overcome the threats to their happily ever after.

Misadventures of a Good Wife' by Meredith Wild, Helen Hardt is Book Two in the "Misadventures" series. In this book, we have the story of Kate and Price Lewis. They had the storybook romance and everything was going beautifully until Price died in a plane crash that happened when he went away on a business trip. Kate’s life changed forever and a year later she is like a different woman. She isn’t coping at all … She has never fully accepted the loss. She is slowly pining away for the husband she thought died in a plane crash so her sister in law begs her to take a three week trip to the South Pacific to just try to relax and try to find her way back to the “old Kate”..finally she agreed to go.
When she gets there, she decides to take a walk on this beautiful beach and look at everything when she is set upon by a dead man walking, by a ghost…her dead husband walking towards her. But it cant be, for he is dead…isn’t he? Price Lewis didn’t die in that plane crash but he was supposed to. They tried to kill him but he survived and he stayed hidden for a year in order to protect his wife and his family from these killers but its killing him inside to stay away from Kate… he is struggling to stay alive when he so badly needs her to breathe , needs her touch to live. So he finally decided to arrange to have her come to this little island so he could explain what happened and get her to agree to go into hiding with him..that is, if she doesn’t kill him first.
Their reunion is truly sizzling and steamy..full of sex. That is because before Price’s supposed death, this was a very touchy feely couple and sex was full on tilt for this couple and they went back to what they did have before but that’s not to say Kate wasn’t resentful of how Prince handled matters…she still had tons of questions… who is trying to kill him? What does he know? How is he involved? Kate doesn’t want to spend her life on the run and she wants to go back to New York with her husband at her side so they together can get the bad guys who caused this huge rupture in their marriage and make them pay. This was full of suspense, mystery, angst, passion, and most of all, love. I loved the characters of Price and Kate. They are very interesting and exciting. I loved this novella and hope to see a follow up story about them someday perhaps.
My Rating: 4.6 stars *****

Kate Lewis had the perfect life; a successful career and a loving husband. Then everything changes. Kate loses her husband, Price, on a tragic day. His death leaves her devastated, not really living. After a year of merely existing, her sister in law convinces her to go on a vacation. During a walk on the beach, she sees her death husband. With many questions regarding Price's death, Kate's world is turned upside down once again. As she discovers her secrets, she has to make a life changing decision.
Kate is a strong heroine, and I loved her strength. It wasn't easy what she had to deal with. Price and Kate have a great love that is easily seen. Throughout the book, the reader can see how much they love each other. They make great husband and wife, and their sex life is hot. There are many sex scenes; they had a lot of catching up to do after all. Although, I wished the book didn't spend too much time on Price and Kate reconnecting. Don't get me wrong, I love lots of sexy times, but I felt that in particular case, it slowed the story a bit. Then the last chapters felt slightly rushed. Things were falling into place rather too quickly make me wanting the book to be longer, or shorten other scenes.
Overall, Misadventures of a Good Wife is well written. It's filled with love, lost, a lot of steamy scenes, and mixed with mystery and suspense. It's enjoyable.

Kate and Price Lewis had the perfect marriage—love, fulfilling careers, and a great apartment in the city. But when Price’s work takes him overseas and his plane goes down, their happily-ever-after goes down with it.

A year later, Kate is still trying to cope. She’s tied to her grief as tightly as she was bound to Price. When her sister-in-law coaxes her into an extended girls’ trip—three weeks on a remote island in the South Pacific—Kate agrees. At a villa as secluded as the island, they’re the only people in sight, until Kate sees a ghost walking toward them on the beach. Price is alive.

Their reunion is anything but picture perfect. Kate has been loyal to the husband she thought was dead, but she needs answers. What she gets instead is a cryptic proposal—go back home in three weeks, or disappear with Price...forever.

Emotions run high, passions burn bright, and Kate faces an impossible choice. Can Price win back his wife? Or will his secrets tear them apart?




Review:




I won't rehash the blurb because I do think it does give a great overview of the entire story. I will say this is a quick read. It is super sexy! Lots of twist and turns on the way to Kate and Price's happy ending. I little action and suspense are thrown in to give a nice well-rounded story that should leave readers satisfied.




This is book two in a multi-Author series. I am not sure how the stories hook together as this is the only one I have read so far. I will say that you can totally read this as a stand alone and it not affect your reading pleasure. Both writers wrote well together and if I did not know there were two writers I would not have guessed, seamless writing. I have read both Authors before and enjoyed their work and really enjoyed this collaboration.

4 Secrets Are Revealed Stars!

What a great book this was. I loved Kate and Price and the love they had for each other. Even a year after Price's "death" their connection was still palpable.

Ms. Wild and Ms. Hardt have written a story that had me invested in finding out what was going to happen next. I mean I knew there had to be a reason Price was still alive and living on this tropical island but I wasn't sure I wanted the answer, unlike Kate. She wanted it all out in the open because she couldn't live a secret life. One thing is certain though and that's the heat these two generate. Holy Wowza!! And Price definitely uses that to his advantage!

Overall, this book was a great read, I flew through it and enjoyed every word. The storyline kept me intrigued, there was enough suspense that I was wondering what was going to happen next, the heat level was on high and the love this couple shared was storybook worthy!
