I tried to read this author once before and absolutely hated the story I read, so I went into this read with quite a bit of trepidation, especially since my OCD had me wanting to read the entire series, in order. I have to say that I was frankly shocked at my enjoyment of this book!

I loved Emma and Reese's relationship! It was on the steamy side, and yet each of their encounters was a logical one for the point of the relationship and story that they were in. I appreciated what qualities that each one found in the other, and enjoyed seeing the hotel staff in action.

However, I wish that there had been a lot more about Bolt! I wanted to know more about The Consortium, how Reese got turned into Bolt, I even wanted more scenes of Bolt in action! The superhero angle got downplayed a bit too much for my tastes, but I have to say that I did enjoy what was there in the story.

I have to say that I found it very refreshing to find another superhero romance story, and was glad to have read it. I must say that I am now eager to read the author's 2018 offering in the Misadventures series!

Explosive. Magnetic. Literally.

The storyline and connection between Emma and Reece will blow you away.

This book combined two of my favorite things: superheroes and romance. And wow, does Angel Payne keep you captivated from beginning to end. It's just so enthralling.

Of the two, I fell more for Emma. Though weakened by the ferocity of Reece's domineering affections, her personality is big and bold. I love that she strives to make her own way in life, away from the riches of her family's lifestyle in the OC.

This was my first foray into her writing style, and she did not disappoint. I will definitely be looking into her arsenal of work for more.

Wow, Wow, WOW!!! Gah! Angel Payne just had one of her dreams come true - writing a story about a Super Hero and we are the beneficiaries of this amazing journey! This book is SO MUCH FRICKIN’ FUN!!!

Reece (our illustrious Super Hero BOLT) and Emma (Hotel Brocade night shift newbie, nicknamed Velvet) have this instant attraction that send sparks flying off each page! There’s humor, a sweet lightness at times, passion, intrigue, and the unmistakable way that Angel brings you into her wonderful world of words!

With BOLT, the ‘good guy’ Super Hero, and VELVET, the woman who brings him to his knees, this story begs us to suspend ‘real-life’ for just a while and enjoy everything Angel Payne and her creative mind and talent have to offer! She’s a true Wizard of Words who ALWAYS brings her A-game!

4.25 Stars for this fun, albeit a bit cheesy read! I didn't really know what to expect from this volume of the Misadventures series. Super heroes? Sure why not. Reece and Emma were definitely fun! And trust me Angel Payne can write some hella hot chemistry! All in all a totally enjoyable read and I'd absolutely recommend!

Misadventures with a Super Hero by Angel Payne continues the Misadventures series. Reece Richard's was a playboy who has been forced to become a superhero, Bolt.

Emmalina Crist works for him at his high rise hotel. When an encounter between them leads to Reece's realizations that there is something more to her that makes something possible between them, he can't help but pursue her and Emma will have trouble resisting. More than anything I liked the development of the interactions between Emma and Reece, though it started off hot, fast and, dare say it, electrifying, there is more there than just passion and heat. The interplay between characters and how they deal with the unique situations and dangers that Reece being Bolt represents build both the plot and their relationship.

Overall, I recommend Misadventures with a Super Hero by Angel Payne as an intriguing book that exceeds the concept of a rich, playboy superhero story and is an electrifying read.

(I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book I received for free from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my open and honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.)

Reece is the unlikely superhero, not by choice but by someone else's hand......he has become BOLT. He was a cocky, arrogant bad boy with trust issues but he more then redeems himself.....Emma is living on her own for the first time trying to forge her own way. Their worlds collide can they save each other? He shows her his vulnerability and she shows him how tenacious she can be, will love save them. This is my first Angel Payne book, I will be reading more.

This is the first book by this author that I've read and I really enjoyed it. It's a little different from the other romance books that I've read in that its main male character is a Super Hero with actual super powers!

Reese Richards (aka Bolt) is a playboy billionaire that has had his share of women. But something happened a year ago that changed him. Instead of continuing his playboy ways, he becomes the business tycoon running one of his family's business...the hotel that Emma (Emmalina) Crist works for.

Emma's co-workers at the hotel thinks there something dark about Reese but Emma doesn't think so the first time she meets him. The employees were watching some news coverage about a super hero with electrical powers helping fight crime in the city! Emma is attracted to Reese and can't seem to get him out of her mind. Reese feels the same about Emma and he is conflicted since he hasn't gotten involved with anyone after what happened to him a year ago. The situation caused by a crazy ex-girlfriend is how Reese ended up with his super powers. Reese is trying to make it up to Karma by using his powers for good and to tempt fate to kill him so that he could be put out of his misery! That is until he meets Emma. After meeting her, Reese has found reasons to live even though he is not sure how it would work with his "super powers".

Emma and Reese are perfect for each other and their chemistry is so, so hot! Especially what his powers can do during sex! This is such a fun story to read with the hero actions and the steamy romance between the two!

A super hero love story is definitely not one’s typical romance, but oddly enough, it works because Angel Payne explores the whys and hows of the creation of Reece Richards’ alter-ego Bolt, and the things that were done to Reece to turn him into the heroic man he is now fits into his background and status, proving that even men with money and power can be brought to their knees.

The whole idea of a ‘super hero’ and its many definitions is seamlessly woven into the plot line of Misadventures with a Super Hero; Reece never intended to become someone who others would look to for assistance when things go wrong, but that’s exactly the person he becomes, especially to Emmalina, and while almost everyone else seems to judge Reece based on his previous actions, she sees the man beneath the wall he’s built to protect himself and her genuineness is what allows Reece to trust a woman for the first time since his life imploded and he found himself with extraordinary abilities.

Payne weaves together the supernatural and action adventure elements of a super hero story with the sensual and sexy components of a romance and while the story is a rather unconventional one, it easily fits the concept of the Misadventures series because everything that Reece and Emmalina go through to reach a satisfactory ending is full of angst, steam, and suspense, which fits both genres quite well.

This particular Misadventure story from Angel Payne is a fantasy inducing romance that had me falling in love fast and hard and had me sighing every which way and I think, I had hearts in my eyes! I love a good romance with a sexy nerd who can save a woman and be all stoic, gorgeous and rich. And our heroine is strong, beautiful, sassy and can easily be the perfect friend.

This story swept me off my feet from the moment I started it. It was all around irresistible, sexy as all get out, has a few sweet moments and is just a downright entertaining read. These Misadventure books just keep getting better and better but Angel Payne might of topped them so far with Misadventures With A Super Hero! I could EASILY and HAPPILY give this a 10 stars! It was THAT good!

Misadventures With A Super Hero gets a MOUTH WATERING GOOD FIVE SHOOTING STARS!

MISADVENTURES WITH A SUPER HERO is the third book in the Misadventures series. Each book is a stand-alone romance with no need to have read the others, but I would still recommend each that I have read so far.

A new trope for me – a super hero, complete with the corny catch phrase, “Gotta Bolt!” I have to say I loved it. Between Reece and Emma, it is sexy, sweet, silly at times, but also serious when needed, there is a touch of sophistication, and a lot of geek … in other words: a lot like me!

There is plenty of action to keep the story moving. The sex is hot as Hell. I was laughing out loud many times as I read, and had a few “aww” moments, too.

This is the first book that I have read from Angel Payne and I am truly excited that the ninth book in this series is also from her, MISADVENTURES OF A TIME TRAVELER! I am looking forward to reading that one in March.

Note: while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

This is the 3rd standalone book in the Misadventures Series. This is also the first book that I have read by this author. I found that it was kinda hard for me to get into right at first because to some extent I found it slightly cheesy. I had a bit more trouble connecting to the characters in the beginning and I had set the book down for a few days and went to read something else. I did pick it back up and was a little worried & nervous if I would like it and could finish up the book. I was thoroughly impressed & please with the book by the end. I really enjoyed the storyline it for me was something different to read. The characters did gradually grow on me and I enjoy the chemistry that ignited between Reece and Emma. I loved the back and forth banter because of them. This story did hit a lot of feelers. While at the beginning this story for me was slightly harder to get into, I'm truly happy I stuck it out and finished the book. It definitely heats up and The Bolt leaves you electrifying hot and Scorchingly breathless in the wake of his touch!! I will be checking out more books by Author Angel Payne thanks to this book in the Misadventures Series!

This was a fun break from the typical romance book. You’re introduced to Reece, a former playboy turned “freak” with special abilities. When Emma enters his world, his super-protective nature comes in to play. Filled with action and romance, I enjoyed this book and hope there’s more of these characters in the future.

I have to be honest, when I started this book I was thinking some strange thoughts about it. I mean weird things were happening to the main character Reece, glowing fingers, come on... Now I guess I have to admit I ended up loving this story. Misadventures of a Super Hero was such a fun read and took me to places that my imagination wouldn't even go. I had a few laugh out loud moments and there were some very steamy scenes too. I loved the chemistry between Reese and Emmalina.

I am really enjoying the Misadventures series and Misadventures with a Super Hero by Angel Payne was no different. Though this was a little different in the sense that it is about a super hero and the woman he wants, I devoured the story.

Bolt, aka Reece Richards is Emma’s boss, as well as an heir to an empire and a known playboy. After being kidnapped, he is experimented on finds himself with super powers.

When Reece and Emma meet, you can feel their connection and chemistry. Emma works for one of his family’s hotels as a customer satisfaction manager. The sparks fly, the action kicks in and the story takes off.

Misadventures with a Super Hero was a unique and fast-paced read that will pull readers right in. These books have been quick, fun and sexy reads. Though they are part of a series, each is a complete standalone.

I thought the idea of Misadventures with a Superhero sounded really good! However, I had a hard time following this story and just could not get into it. I thought the characters were ok and did enjoy the humor in the book. I did think the story picked up towards the end so I gave it 3 stars instead of 2.

Misadventures with a Super Hero was an entertaining book. Reece aka Bolt ends up with superpowers & isn't too sure about them. Emmalina works with Reece who is her boss. She needs to be rescued & guess who saves her...Bolt. There are definitely feels for each other there & they have to figure them out. Reece hasn't been in a relationship since getting his super powers. I voluntarily received & reviewed an ARC from Netgalley.

Misadventures with a Super Hero is a sizzling hot read. The blush across my cheeks is now permanent!
Angel Payne has crafted this electric world in which Reece and Emma meet and the fireworks are immediate. The chemistry is explosive. I enjoyed the heat of the romance, the humor expertly folded into some exciting action. This book has it all.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish this book. As soon as we got to the magical sperm, you lost me I'm afraid.

Reading the book blurb, I wanted to read a book about a super hero. In the beginning of the book, I wasn't so sure, but it was entertainingly different. There were some hot sex scenes between this couple. This was an enjoyable read.
I received an advanced reader copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was my first book by Angel Payne and definitely won't be my last! This genre is not one I normally read but it was part of the Misadventures series so I dove in and loved it. This was a sexy, hot, fun read that had me laughing at times and loving Reece and Emmaline. Another must read from the Misadventures series!
