As promised I have read another of the Misadventures Series and have to report it is not in the same context as the last one I read. When I first started reading this book I thought it was like a train wreck. I was not really getting into it at all. I felt it was all over the place,without much of a plot. But I forged on and continued to read in hopes of improvement. As the story continued on it did improve and I was able to understand where the author was going with the story even if I did not like her starting point.

In this book Emma is a new night-time employee for a Richards Resort Hotel. One night during her shift, her and Neeta, the manager are watching the television show a super hero stopping a group of robbers. They are captivated by the hero and his God like state. Then Reece Richards, owner of hotel, comes in for the weekly reports. It is like a magnet walked into the room. Emma can’t look away and neither can Reece. They don’t have the reports ready until midnight when the last of the numbers will be in, so Mr. Richards tells Neeta to be sure and send them to his penthouse suite when they are ready. Emma later takes the reports to Mr Richards and the rest is history…….

To me this book is more of an erotica novel than a romance. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good erotica book that will have you week in the knees. But I thought with it being part of the Misadventures series, it would be more like the other book I read, as in style of writing. This book was very different in writing style, most likely because it is a different author all together. The characters to me were not developed enough to enjoy as much as the last book. I did love the sparks and lightening bolt hot sex. The book mainly focuses on the two main characters, with the others a mere backdrop. I did not find that it had much story line other than hot steamy sex. Which to me takes away from the book. I like erotica books if they also have a great plot to go with it. But hey, if you like erotica porn as a novel, then this book will knock your socks off. With that being said, I personally did not like this book, but I am sure that there are others who will. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a sex filled read to fill your lonely nights. “wink wink”

Another amazing book in the Misadventures series that I couldn't put down. After getting experimented on Reece hasn't been with a woman but that may change when he meets Emmalina. Emmalina can feel their connection a mile away but Reece has a secret that could make her run away from he. Reece soon realizes how different Emmalina is and is determined to never let her go, but when her life is in danger can he really keep her in his life? I love a good super hero read and this was an amazing read and I love Emma & Reece. This was my first book I read from Angel and it won't be the last

Making one of the characters a superhero was a fun twist to the romance and the series.

Emma is a strong character and the author did a great job introducing both Reece and his super powers through her eyes.

The alternating narrative was really well done as it provided a great opportunity to understand Reece's back story and how his powers work without a lot of forced dialogue of him explaining it.

Overall an interesting and fun addition to the series!

If your into Marvel, DC Comics, Superheros and ComicCon, this book is for you. Emmalina works in a hotel and her boss Reece has a secret. She falls for him and him for her but Reece cannot open himself up to Emmalina about his past. When an incident happens and Reece's secret is revealed, life with Emmalina is in Jeopardy of ending. It is funny at times too.

This book was different from Angel Payne's usual work, but it was good. You can feel her passion for this book as you read it. It's science fiction meets romance with a little suspense thrown in for good measure. I enjoyed reading Misadventures of a Superhero!

Reece is like a caveman at times, “She’ll partner with me.” My growl isn’t answered by anyone else. There’s no more time anyway." There are times Reece is just too eager of a man, "...she topples backward onto the seat, yanking me into the car after her. I barely drag the door closed before Z has the motor gunned and the car in motion, lurching my lips onto hers..." I liked this book, I loved Reece.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Misadventures with a Super Hero by Angel Payne is the third book in the Misadventures series, which is comprised of all standalone novels.

Misadventures with a Super Hero follows the romance between Emmalina Crist, a young woman working the night shift in the Reservations Department at Hotel Brocade, and Bolt, aka Reece Richards, who just happens to be Emmalina's boss and a partying playboy.

This was my first Angel Payne novel, and she did not disappoint. I thoroughly enjoy superhero stories, and I really enjoyed Payne's take on the genre. Keep in mind: this series is marketed as being "high romance, low plot," but that doesn't mean Payne doesn't delve into the wonders of HOW Reece becomes a super hero, because, SPOILER ALERT, he was not born that way.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys steamy supernatural/superhero books.

3 Stars! Misadventures with a Super Hero is book #3 in the multi-author Misadventure Series.



Meet the Heroine & Hero:

Emmalina Crist is a young woman who has recently started an executive job in the Reservations Department at Hotel Brocade. She loves her new job & is determined to be the best at it.

Reece Richards is a hard partying playboy. He's rich & likes to live the lavish lifestyle. His family has a global empire & he is Emmalina's boss.



The Story:

Emmalina is determined to get out from under her suffocating life in Orange County. She gets the job at Hotel Brocade working the night shift & is set on giving it her all, as she really loves the hotel & her coworkers.

Reece has been hitting the party scene hard, acting the spoiled, rich guy with endless partying & girls. He's a disappointment to his father & brother. One night his current girlfriend takes him to an out of the way industrial building & before he knows it, he's stripped bare & strapped to a table & experimented on... Turns out, he's now a superhero, with electric super powers.

A year later, Reece & Emmalina meet at work & there is instant sparks, attraction & lust. That first night they meet, they share an insanely lustful & debauched night & it just goes full force from there. There is a Hero & Heroine to fall in love, there are crimes to be stop, damsels to be saved & a criminal enterprise trying to take over the whole city.



The Verdict:

I gave this book 3 stars, not because it wasn't a good book, but because it just wasn't my cup of tea. I liked it, but had a hard time getting invested in the characters & story. There were also times were I was just trying to figure out what was going on, almost like I might have accidentally skipped over an important paragraph or chapter & was missing something. But I would still recommend this book to someone who enjoys the super hero genre & tons of raunchy, sexy times!
