Firstly, the title drew me in, it was promising and I was genuinely really excited to read this story. It was different from most books I’ve read. It started off really funny and sexy but the super hero with a secret identity did not really work for me. I just didn’t feel a connection to the characters.

I couldn’t enjoy it so I did end up not finishing it off. I am sure other readers will love it but for me I couldn’t get into it. It just didn’t work for me.

Emma gave Reece something he hadn’t had before. Hope. The hope that things would be different, the hope that things would change and he would finally feel alive. His life is not what it once was, his days are consumed with going around saving those in his community from being victims of senseless crimes and running his families empire. Emma is the only thing that provides some relief and the desire for things to be more than they are. A real life superhero? When will he stop saving those around him and finally save himself?

Misadventures With A Super Hero is a unique story . The book begins with a wealthy man chasing a beautiful woman.This shifts into a supernatural realm and the adventure is on.. Reese , the main character, runs a hotel owned by his family. Emmalina , a main character, also comes from a well to do family. He has developed superpowers that he utilizes for the good of mankind. They fall for each other and develop a relationship.
This book surprised me from the beginning and at times felt disjointed. I struggled to finish this book and reach the HEA. I consider this to more an erotic read with a supernatural twist.

This was an okay read for me. It started out really good and I was hooked but then it fizzled out in the middle to pick back up in the end. The characters Emma and Reece were good characters that were hot together but in the middle of the story they and their storyline dragged a bit. Overall it was a fun read like the rest of the series just a bit longer than the others.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.

3.5 hot stars.

this book was not my typical choice of read, but as I've enjoyed the Misadventures series so far I thought I'd give it a go.

It had a strong plot with a lot of potential, but it felt a little drawn out in places.

Overall it was an enjoyable read, and if superheroes are you're thing, you'll enjoy it!

I have been really enjoying the Misadventures series so far and went into the book hoping for another amazing read. Misadventures with a Super Hero is a standalone as are all the books in the series. It took me a little while to get into the book and then I feel like I had a hard time following at various points. It is probably not a book I would typically go for, which may be why I had a little more difficulty staying engaged at times. This book definitely had a unique feel to it, compared to other books I have read. I am excited to read more books from this series, even though this one was not quite the book for me.

FINAL DECISION: Great premise. uneven execution. Parts of this story I really enjoyed, but parts were a bit confusing and uneven. Overall, I enjoyed the story because it was a fun ride.

THE STORY: Emmalina Crist needs her job working at a hotel because she is trying to make something of herself. Her new boss, Reece Richards, is a longtime playboy, and Emma knows that he is bad news, but can't resist him anyway. But Emma is also intrigued by Bolt, LA's newest superhero. Of course, Reece is actually Bolt and he has issues because he was given "super powers" against his will. The two have to navigate Reece finding out who and what he is.

OPINION: I really liked the premise of this story and it is really hot with Emma and Reece circling around one another in various locations in his hotel. I liked the characters and I really believed Reece's improving his life because of his "changes". I thought parts of the story were really funny and really sweet. This story is really an erotic journey as for the relationship between Emma and Reece (lots of insta-love/lust) with some superhero danger tossed in.

I did think that the writing was a bit uneven at times and the alternating points of view meant some confusion in the voice of the story. (There were not enough differences in the voices of the two characters to justify the different points of view).

This was a fun story and I would love to read more about these characters, but I think that a reader has to make a commitment to the story to really enjoy it.

WORTH MENTIONING: This is a novella that is told in alternating points of view.

CONNECTED BOOKS:  MISADVENTURES WITH A SUPER HERO is the third book in the Misadventures series. This series, however, are completely separate standalone books with no connections at all.

STAR RATING: I give this book 3 stars.

NOTE: I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley in order to provide a review. I was not required to write a review or to write a positive review. All opinions contained herein are my own.

Review will be published on October 10th

Reece is one mysterious man. Emma is fascinated by bolt. They have a instant connection. They can't help but be drawn to each other. Reece is keeping a really big secret. Will they be able to make everything work. Could not put this book down had to know what would happen.

Misadventures with a Super Hero - Angel Payne - Book #3 in the Misadventures Series.

I received this book for an honest and unbiased review.

I'm not a personal whose reading preference normally runs to the fantasy realm but Angel Payne has changed my opinion.

A thoroughly sexy, escapist story of the Hotel Customer Satisfacton officer and the billionaire bad boy turned super hero.

Though complete fantasy, it was quirky and fun with huge slabs of sinfully sexy.

Reece Richards the Hotel Heir, finds himself on the receiving end of an extraordinary tale of good verses evil at the hands of The Consortium and their evil henchwoman Angelique La Salle. Reece also finds himself in another predicament, falling hard for his hotel customer satisfaction manager, Emmalina Crist.

A lot of fun and quite likeable characters make this a great addition to the Misadventures Series.

This book was flaming hot. Who doesn't love a super hero and one that can literally ignite a flame of desire through your body at the touch of his hand? I love comic books and this lady made the perfect super hero. The story did seem a little fast paced but I was totally fine with that. I love a quick hot read. This book was very entertaining and I loved the chemistry from the characters, they were made for each other. There was just the right amount of humor tossed in to keep it from getting too steamy. Overall I think the book was a great summer read. I look forward to reading more from Angel Payne I feel this book is only a taste of what she has to offer.

I don't usually read sci-fi/fantasy romance but this one...wow! It's sexy, freaky, hot and steamy all rolled into one.

What can I say about Reece? He started out as your cocky, arrogant bad boy but he more than redeemed himself. Having had his world rocked by his ex and I don't mean in a good way, trust was a huge issue for him. Enters Emma, living away from her family for the first-time, trying to make her way in the world.

Trust goes both ways, not just for a reluctant superhero but also for a woman wanting to make the world a better place. Love helps smooth the path and we have two people whose worlds collided, the push and pull between them were deliciously described. His vulnerabilty, her tenaciousness, all their delightful banter, I could not ask for more.

Definitely a five star read for me.

When Reece is dealt the ultimate punishment for his wicked ways it will change him beyond his wildest imagination. As soon as he realizes that he's now in danger of loosing the one woman he truly desires, he will need to restrain himself, if his secret is revealed, it could destroy everything.

If he's ever going to love, he will need to find a woman who can accept him for his faults and all.

This is one smokin' superhero with powers they don't write about in comic books. Happy reading.

I loved the superhero aspect. I know this collection of books are meant to be erotic and the sex was off the charts hot! I could have read it without all the steam. The actually story was great and interesting. Honestly I think all the steam took too much away from the greatness of the superhero.

I found this book quite entertaining and the chemistry between Reece and Emma was hot as sin. I loved the moments of humor thrown in. This was a good read and written well.

Reece isn't your typical superhero. He used to be a playboy billionaire that was only looking for his next bed buddy. He ends up tangled with the wrong woman which results in him becoming a "super hero" for the ages. He takes down thugs throughout the city much to the delight of females everywhere. Emmalina works for Reece's company. She gets her first dose of the new super hero on the news then Reece enters the office & sparks are flying between them. He makes a quick exit & Emma's boss warns her that their boss is a little weird & off & she should keep her distance. This intrigues Emma even more & she quickly gathers the night's readings & heads up to the boss' lair. This leads to a steamy encounter that'll leave the reader as breathless as Emma. From there, hang on cause it's a super ride.

Another fun, lusty romp in the Misadventures series. Always a good time!

This is the first book I've read by Angel Payne and the first Super Hero book I've read. Ok, there are obviously some crazy good perks to getting it on with a super hero that I never knew about. Jealous!!!

Former-playboy-turned-superhero Reese is hot, has quite a way with words, and is definitely a good guy. Emma wants MORE out of life than what she's always been told to want. She is trying to do things on her own and the girl's got goals. These two are drawn to each other though in a way you just can't fight.

This was a twist on a love story that was very new to me, and super entertaining. The love scenes were freaking off the charts. Electric! Reese may be a super hero but Emma was pretty bad ass herself. Angel Payne has a new fan in me. I actually would like to read more involving these two, maybe in the future? Here's hoping.

I am not for sure what I just read. I usually don't read sci-fi romance so I was not sure how to rate this book. Reese is a billionaire captured then super charged by a past lover and some mad scientists. Reese now goes around town saving people with his super strength and speed. Emma is an night shift employee at his family owned hotel. It was lust/love at first sight.

Emma is the first lover he has had since his big transformation and he is not sure if his bodily fluids can cause damage. You will just need to read this well written imaginative romance to find out.

If you enjoy sci fi romance I am sure your understanding and rating could be higher. I decided to give this book a try since I have read and enjoyed several books in the "Misadventures" series.

I voluntarily reviewed an advance readers copy provided by Water House Press/NetGalley.

When Emma meets Reece in the flesh, there is definitely something in the air. Reece makes most people feel uncomfortable. Instead of turning away from what she's feeling, Reece seems like a beacon drawing her in. Will Emma run for safety when she finds out that Reece is far greater than what he may seem? Will Reece be willing to take a chance and trust someone again after the betrayal he suffered that left him with the powers he now possesses?

This standalone entry into the "Misadventures" series is worth the read.
