Reece even unwillingly became a part of a daring experiment and eventually became the Bolt superhero dedicated to combating crime and works at his father hotel . Today he ceased to be the wild playboy, preferring to stay inmate for not knowing the reaction of people to his super powers. But everything changes when the seemingly demure Emmalina goes to his penthouse delivering company documents. The meeting of the two is fierce and changes their lives. Now they will need to set their priorities and know if they want to give themselves to the love and judgment of society.
With a dose of humor and an extreme load of eroticism, the writer leads a plot worthy of Justice League, Marvel or Xmen story showing the existential conflicts of who is different from the others.
At times I was confused by what happened and with the change of narrator,but I still liked the story and I had a lot of fun following the maturing of the couple. I just thought that the conclusion of the story was a bit quick and left room for more adventures of this pair.
3,5/5 stars

Sadly this one just didn't work for me. I am a huge Angel Payne fan so I was really looking forward to Misadventures With A Super Hero so it really saddens me that I just couldn't connect with this one.

Interesting read. The first few chapters are ok, and I was curious on the story and the characters. I was intrigued on what will happen next. This may sound a bit not so good but I kind of find some scenes weird especially the hero and heroine's first 'bed scene'. Overall, the story is good and interesting. I'm looking forward to read what's more to this series.

This story cracked me up. Superheroes with extremities that glowed in color and a woman who is in tranced with her boss. That is what it comes down to. The sex was hot. I know this is fiction but it was pretty out there.

Reece is a former playboy mogul now turned superhero after mixing up with the wrong woman. He's sworn off relationships and life as he decides to through himself into running the La location of his family's hotel chain and fight crime in the hopes someone will take him down.Emma is an OF transplant trying to find more out of life. Reece and Emma share passion so deep it changes the both. It's a fun read but lacking. The story seems unfinished and plot holes aren't resolved. The rest of the characters are flat. Still as stories go it's readable.

I adored this book and the funny suspense filled ride it took me on. The Misadventures series is the best thing ever written and I cant wait for more books!

I really wanted to like this book. Since a young age - I've always had that superhero fantasy - I blame it on all of the comics I read.

But, the writing style of this book totally turned me off. You know when people make fun of Romance novels...for using flowerly language and using as many words to describe the acts of sex without actually using the terms.

I skipped over most of this book with the crazy prose and words like "channel". I felt that I rolled my eyes more often than not.

I may just not be a fan of the authors writing - but there are still books in the misadventure series that I would like to read.

I unfortunately could not get into this book. I choose not to review this to bring down the author's ratings.

4 Star Review by Jodi for Ruby Red Romance Review

I enjoyed this book! I’m all for a great superhero! This book was a little slow, then it picked up and I felt overwhelmed by all that was happening! I love Reece! He’s an amazing character. There was just something missing and I can’t really put my finger on what it was.

All in all the story is well written. It was fun to read but kind of out there at times. Not my favorite Misadventure book, but not bad!

Okay, so this story-line is way outside my wheelhouse. My least favorite thing to read is paranormal and any sci-fy elements to a story I much more enjoy on screen but I wanted to read this entire series. I was intrigued from the moment it was announced and I knew there were going to be books that maybe were outside my comfort zone. But you know what, even tho this is something I just wouldn’t pick up on its own, I’m glad I stuck with it and read it! I enjoyed the heck out of the suspense element in the book but I enjoyed even more the journey of Emmalina and Reece!

For me, the book was unique and captivating, entertaining and very sexy.

This entire series so far has been a hit for me. I’ve enjoyed every book I’ve read and look forward to more in the future!

"The angel I trusted to take me to heaven has instead handed me a pass to hell. Making this, undoubtedly, the hugest mess my cock has ever gotten me into."

Reece has the ultimate playboy life; money, women, anything he wants and not a care in the world. That is until one night everything changed, transforming him into a different person. Reece keeps a low profile now, keeping to himself and managing one of his hotels. People tend to stay away from him because of the weird vibe he gives them, except for Emmalina/Emma. She is drawn to him and he is, too; insta-lust. Reece and Emma have an electrifying chemistry and she lights him up. She came into his life when he wasn't in a good place. They keep their relationship a secret since she works for him. As their connection grows, Reece has to decide if he should tell Emma about his secret identity. Then a person from his past comes to jeopardize everything.

This is first time reading from the Angel Payne and my first superhero story. I enjoyed it a lot. I like the fact that Reece was struggling with some inner demons. This made him more reliable, human. He wasn't the typical superhero wanting to save the world or make it a better place. He doesn't even consider himself one. I do wish that there was more scenes with Emma and her co-workers towards the end. Also one of Reece's ability wasn't quite mention in a few scenes.

Misadventures with a Superhero is a fun, quick read. Reece is someone that women will want to have. For some his ability will be too much to swallow, but for others, it'll leave them satisfied.

If you love a Super Hero romance then this is THE BOOK FOR YOU! I have not come across many Super Hero Romances as I tend to stay away from fantasy type books.

Unfortunately Super Hero romance is just not my forte', so I don't want to have a bias opinion for anyone that loves this sub-genre. The book is definitely HOT and STEAMY and what appears to be a requirement to be a part of the Misadventures Series is plenty of erotica filled in this book.

If you are enjoying the Misadventure series like me, then definitely check out #3 it has a playboy turned Super Hero and our lovely Heroine Emma working in the Hotel Industry and fighting for their attraction and romance!

This is the first book that I have read by the author and it is a fun take on being a superhero. Reece Richards is a sexy, playboy billionaire. However his philandering ways get him into some trouble that alter his life making him seem somewhat off to others. Emmalina is a young woman who is working the night shift at Reece’s hotel to prove that she can make it on her own. When she sees Reece in person, she is immediately drawn to him and he is viscerally attracted to her. Can Reese trust Emmalina with his secret? I really enjoyed the banter between the characters and there are some very steamy scenes that keep the reader engaged throughout the book.
I volunteered to read and arc provided by Netgalley.

Very original and sexy. I've never read a super hero romance before and I really enjoyed this. The best part of this book was the chemistry between Emma and Reece and the way it was written. It was so poetic and beautiful; you couldn't help but feel the love and electricity flowing between them. My only issue with this book was the abrupt ending. I felt like it was left wide open and I'm ok with that if there is going to be a follow up novel. I would definitely love to read more Reece and Emma misadventures and see what happens with the Consortium.

I loved Emmalina and Reece's story. It was fun. It was sexy. It was nerdy. So enjoyable. This is my first Misadventures book, but it won't be my last. My first book by Ms. Payne and so lovely to find a new author to add to my favorites. Her writing was flawless, it was smooth, it flowed so easily.

I don't normally read supernatural books, but I am a fan of the Misadventure series and I couldn't skip this one. I absolutely loved this book. Bolt was a character I didn't see coming and I loved him! This is one of the funnest book I have read in quite sometime. I couldn't put it down. You aren't going to want to miss reading this misadventure!! I can't wait to read more from the author or the rest of this series!

Wow Angel Payne you did an AMAZING job of drawing me in with Misadventures with a Super Hero. I'm usually not a fan of books with literal Super Hero but this book I just could put down. Reece rich, playboy, hotel mogul with a side of super hero is HOT, HOT, HOT. Lord the things that man can do...hot damn. This book is the perfect weekend read what will leave you sweating from hot chemistry.

This is another total MUST read from the Misadventures series.

This is the third instalment in the Misadventures series of books - standalone stories that are sexy, spicy and a lot of fun. And in my opinion, this is by far the best of all the misadventures so far.

Emma and Reece are just perfect for each other. Sure, she’s the small town girl and he’s the worldly, wounded billionaire - but there’s more to both of them and at times, you see their roles reversed which was fun to see. The banter between the pair hit all my happy buttons - especially the nicknames. Sigh. Despite the fantasy element, I felt the characters were real and believable i their mannerisms and reactions. Yes, Reece was an alpha male but he was insecure, too. And and times, as Emma pointed out to him, he was a bit of a dork! I just loved this pair together. All round loved them.

The sex is sexy and hot but is always part of the storyline of the pair getting to know each other and working each other - and their own stuff - out. And thank God that this story doesn’t have any anal sex - I’m bored of books that feel they have to tack that on to be edgy and cool.

The writing style is, at times, a little frenetic and so lively it can be hard to keep up with. I can completely understand that this style may not be everyone’s cup of tea but personally, and for this story, I think it worked well. One thing you can say with certainty about Ms Payne’s writing style is that her voice is unique and her passion for her stories is clear in her words. The story is written in the first person, alternating between Emma and Reece’s viewpoints.

By the end of the book you’re left wanting to read more - not because the story is unfinished - but because you want to find out about this world of Emma, Reece - oh, and Bolt, too! This is like the satisfying end to season 1 - now I want season 2.

You’ve got a superhero element to this story but in truth, it’s quite a simple story about a guy and a girl who like each other and try to figure everything out while going through a lot of problems and emotions. And maybe I’m a bit mean but it was fun to watch Reece’s descent into love - oh how the mighty fall!

If you’re enjoying the misadventures series then this will be a welcome addition. Or if you’re looking for a fun, light, sassy and sexy read with a super hero element - I would recommend this story to you. 5 stars and I’ll be watching out for other books by Ms Payne.

I really enjoyed this Misadventure book. This book is different from anything else I have read recently. I would really like to see more into the future for "Bolt" and his "Velvet". I really would love to know if their children would be just as super! I can't wait for more Misadventures! #MSBB
