Carson and Ella just make me want to swoon a little. Definitely sexy, but so much more. A great read with a storyline that has you rooting for them until the very end!

If you are a Shayla Black fan, then you need to add this one to your TBR list!!

One of the things that I love the most about the Misadventures series is that they are quick reads with fantastic storylines. Misadventures of a Backup Bride (Misadventures #4) is classic Shayla Black. It was a insta-love story with the classic Shayla Black twists.

Keep this series coming!

Love, love, love!

Shayla Black is one of the best authors out there right now for romance. She writes beautifully and is always writing great characters and storylines.

I want to thank NetGalley for the opportunity in letting me review this book. It was a quick read but such an enjoyable story line. Carson is trying to keep his father's company by getting help from a man who will only help if Carson marries his daughter. So instead he comes up with a scam to prevent from marrying her by asking Ella to be his fake fiance but things become steamy and romantic between them and a twist happens. I really enjoyed this book of the series even though I have bounced around in it. I'm glad that it can be read in any order.

An Overnight Billionaire… When Carson Frost inherits a confectionary that rakes in billions but is too cash-strapped to last another sixty days, he agrees to take a loan from his late father’s rival. There are two catches: Carson has to sign over a permanent stake in the company, and marry the man’s daughter.

Concocts a Fake Bride…

Two weeks before the wedding, he gets cold feet and claims he’s in love with someone else. The investor says he’ll still hand over the cash if Carson takes a stroll down the aisle—with the woman who owns his heart. Since he isn’t even dating anyone, Carson panics. Where is he going to find a bride willing to jilt him at the altar on such short notice?

And Whips Up a Little Love.

Ella Hope is an actress happy for any paying gig, but jilting a hottie in public isn’t what she had in mind. Still, she needs rent, and he’s in a bind. How hard can it be? While playing at matrimony, suddenly their intimacy isn’t so fake. Ella can’t help but fantasize that Carson is her groom and they will live happily ever after. But once his company is safe, will he want her anymore?

********************************************

I loved Carson and Ella and the both of them together really had a heartwarming feeling together. They worked and I think that's what I loved so much...the fact that they were so good together. There wasn't an overwhelming amount of angst or drama - they just had some really good chemistry! I love when a book comes together and they have a feel-good vibe. It was awesome to read.

Shayla Black is an author who I really love reading and I was excited to start Misadventures of a Backup Bride but I ended up thinking that this was just an okay read. It felt like it was missing that Shayla Black sexiness that I have come to know and expect in her books. Overall it was a okay read and I am happy that I gave it a shot I just wished I would have enjoyed it more.

Carson Frost needs a bride to replace the child like bride that is being forced on him by his investor. Enter Ella Hope a girl he met and remember right before he inherited his candy company from his father. Plan is simple they fake getting married to get everyone off their back, so what if they are falling in love. Can you meet and fall in love with your soul mate in less then two weeks.

Great faced paced story written by Black where I am hoping she writes stories now about Ella's sisters.

i really loved the story and it was fun to read. it was an intreating plot to the story. The only thing that bothered me is that it seemed the story seemed a bit unrealistic.

Loved all these in the series. These misadventures books always bring the best these authors have to offer. And I would love to see more authors offered the opportunity to add to this collection

Not my favorite but still a great addition to the Misadventures series! Just didn't hit the 5 star spot for me but I enjoyed it.

This book was so amazing w/a captivating storyline! It was fun, sweet and sexy! The chemistry between the hero and heroine was on point. I laughed, I cried, I cheered and at the end I celebrated! Well done!

I very much enjoyed reading this book! I loved the plot, and I loved most of the characters! (Not the villain). This is definitely a book I have and will recommend as well as one I will re-read!

An entertaining story of gaining an unexpected inheritance. An agreement is formed and the fun begins when an agreed upon betrothal has second thoughts. A plan is devised in the form of a fake fiancée.
Funny entertaining read

A quick and fun read. Humor, romance and emotion all wrapped up in a book I couldn't put down.

Here is a book that I have been looking forward to for a long time! Can't wait to read more by this author!

Carson Frost is still adjusting to owning a successful confectionary. To get it out of debt and back to making millions, he’s agreed to marry the daughter of a competitor. Unfortunately, he and his competitor’s daughter have nothing in common and no attraction. When he comes up with the idea of hiring a bride to strike a new deal, he didn’t encounter his feelings taking part.
This was a pretty good story. The insta-attraction was well enough written that I felt it worked with this story and fell in with the time-frame of the story. My only problem was that it was somewhat hard to buy Ella’s quick feelings when she repeatedly showed a lack of trust and faith in people. Overall though, I did enjoy the book.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

***4 Stars***

This was a fun fake relationship morphs into way more than either person ever imagined read that was filled with a good balance of heart, smexyness and drama that kept me turning the pages to see what would happen next.

It was easy to like both Carson and Ella. They aren’t afraid of working hard for what they want, they’re honest and have an ease about them that made it easy to connect with both of them. Their journey to their HEA was a fun one and I really liked the direction it took. It is all kinds of insta-lust that morphs into insta-love, but it worked for me because of how the fake relationship came about. They were forced to get to know each other without the game playing and stringing each other along, so they got the “This is me. Take it or leave it” version and it totally worked for me. The sexual chemistry between them is off the charts and I really enjoyed how they became a couple without realizing it. There are a few bumps in their road, but I like how everything worked out in the end.

Misadventures of a Back Up Bride was a fun read and pretty much devoured once I started it. There was one spot where things did slow down for me, but overall it was an engaging and well paced story. The secondary cast of characters were very well written, one I wanted to gut with a spoon on numerous occasions, but he did add a bit of fun to the story in the end. I’m quite curious about Ella’s sisters and am keeping my toes crossed that they may just get their own books one day.

I thought Back Up Bride was an entertaining read. Carson and Ella joined ranks in quite a peculiar situation. I admire Carson for trying to save this company for someone who he doesn’t owe a thing to. He could have very well let it sink. Ella is sassy and I like that she didn’t readily give in to Carson’s every demand. She didn’t hold out as long as I thought she would when it came to him. Carson and Ella definitely have a connection that can’t be denied. They’re more than hot for each other. Their physical connection was off the charts. That being said I didn’t quite feel the emotional connection between these two until the very end of the book. The pace was also a bit too slow for me but other than that I enjoyed it.

Another fantastic addition to the Misadventures Series! I loved Carson and Ella's story from the first page to the last. This was a super steamy, fun, romantic read with a touch of angst. Carson and Ella are faced with quite the dilemma and I loved their solution. A twist at the end surprised me and I loved it!

This was such an entertaining read. I loved the premise and the characters, Carson and Ella. For having only met briefly months before and being paid to be there, Ella and Carson have tremendous chemistry that was sparked in the initial meeting and has remained in the back of their minds since. Now that they're trying to pull off a farce of a relationship, it becomes quite clear early on that it isn't a farce at all.

The connection they share and sexual tension between them is undeniable and catapults their relationship into warp speed while they try to figure out what their next move is so that Carson can keep his company.

This was funny, witty and sexy all at once. A great addition to the MIsadventures series
