This story grips you at the very beginning. Jackson a cocky, self absorbed, confident man who demanded everything from everyone around him was in for a rude awaking when it came to his blind date... WOW I couldn't believe I finished the book in one sitting

Piper, moves to a new city for a fresh start in life. Jackson, is a high powered, high strung business man, looking for one thing, sex.
Piper's younger sister, decided to step in and help draw her out of her shell of "not meeting new people" and sets up a dating profile for her, telling her it was for friendship. Jackson, desperate for some "action" sets up a profile on a dating website, saying he was looking to "hook up" with some one, was instantly drawn to, Piper's profile. They met, and hit it off immediately.
Piper, starts her new job, in this new city. When she gets there, her one night stand, turns out to be her new boss...What are the odds?
After the first miserable week of working together (both fantasizing about the other) Jackson, makes a prior to, Piper. Does she accept?
There seems to be trouble in paradise, when Piper gets some sister news. No matter how disturbing the news can be, if you care and love enough, you can prevail. I've never read Kendall Ryan before. But I will now be looking her up.

Okay, this is my favorite one in the series up to date! I blew through this book on a Sunday afternoon. We all know that I read almost every book that Kendall Ryan writes, so when I saw that she was writing for the Misadventures Series I knew I had to get my grabby little hands on it.

I loved Piper and Jackson! These two had chemistry. OH LAWD they some major chemistry going on!!! They were lighting up the pages with it. Had me fanning myself while reading. Jackson was such a dirty talker, very steamy stuff ya’ll!

What I liked the most about this book was that it was so much more than just sex. We got to see their relationship bloom and become into something great. I couldn’t help but fall in love with them throughout the story.

The only reason I couldn’t give it 5 stars because It did get a bit predictable towards the middle there for me.

Overall, this book was great! I loved the characters and it had great amounts of steamy moments. Even if you are new to the series, I suggest picking this up. Especially if you like office/forbidden romance!

Kendall Ryan has delivered a captivating and sexy standalone in the "Misdaventures" series!

Piper Daniels is looking to start over. After a tough break-up, she's ready to begin a new job in a brand new city, but to say her social life is still lacking is an understatement. With her family back at home, she relies on calls with her sister to stay connected to them. Her sister realizes that instead of getting out to experience her new city, she's sitting at home alone. To help her out, Piper's sister sets up a blind date for her though a dating app hoping this will help her sister acclimate faster.

Jackson Dane is a successful businessman and CEO who is certainly not lacking in the hotness department. He's focused on a new merger that is on the horizon and there isn't much else on his mind with the exception of finding a woman who is willing to go to bed with him. He's been in a bit of a drought and he turns to setting up a blind date to take care of his needs.

When Piper and Jackson meet the evening turns steamy very quickly. The two end up exactly where Jackson hopes and while it isn't something Piper generally does, she certainly isn't sorry it happened. Well, until the next morning when she shows up at her new job and she discovers that Jackson is her boss. Will these two be able to work together or is it all going to end badly because of one night that they both don't regret?

This is one of my favorite "Misadventures" books. I enjoyed how the relationship between Piper and Jackson morphed over the course of the book. There was definite growth and it was wonderful to see how both characters made strides both individually and as a couple. I highly recommend picking this one up!

Piper winds up meeting Jackson after her sister sets her up with him on a dating app. What Piper doesn't know is that Piper has put on her profile that she is looking for a one-night stand. Jackson is intrigued by Piper but thinks she is way more innocent than her profile suggested. Piper decides to throw caution to the wind and partake in a one-night stand with Jackson. Little do either of them know that they will be working together.

Jackson is a one and done type of guy and trolls internet websites to find a hook-up. He is quite successful and owns his own real estate company. He is interested in Piper in ways that confuse him. He doesn't want a relationship and can't quite understand why he wants more from Piper.

Piper moved to NYC to get over a break-up with her long-term boyfriend. He, apparently, dumped her and has moved on with his life. She decides to get a fresh start. She doesn't realize that her one-night stand is going to have complications. She has no idea who Jackson really is and decides to go for what she wants with no inhibitions.

Neither one of these two were really looking for a relationship. Jackson makes a proposal that both of them know will lead to more feelings being involved for both of them. The story was quick, well told and did have quite a bit of growth during it. I did not particularly like something Piper did in the name of doing what she felt was best. I won't say what, you will know it when you read it. I didn't quite understand why she felt her family would have issues with Jackson over it. The ending was a nice wrap-up for these two.

I received an ARC from NetGalley for my honest review.

This book was a quick, fun and sexy read.

Jackson was a work horse that wanted to have a fun on the side with no strings attached.
Piper moved to a new city to get a fresh start.

Pipers sister set her up with an online dating profile so she could go out and meet people and make get a little something something. But what she didn't realize that the person she was going to meet was her new boss.

After spending time together they realized that they were falling for each other but didn't really want to admit it. Both of their lives were turned upside down when Piper found out she was pregnant. It destroyed them both but everything worked out in the end.

Loved this book! Piper's sister tries to get Piper out of her rut by setting her up on a dating app. She might just have exaggerated Piper's profile and hinted she was ok with a hook up. Jackson is rich, talented and driven. He's just looking for some sexual release and finds himself signing up for a dating app. Can you say one night stand?

Of course it turns out that Jackson is Piper's new boss. But Piper is more than qualified for her job and Jackson is no fool. He needs her help if he's to keep his sanity while acquiring his latest company. But their assurances that they can keep things strictly business...well those aren't going to be able to stand up against their desire to have each other again.

Lots of humor, drama and steam!

One night of sex with no strings is supposed to break Piper out of her normal lonely existence, but when Jackson ends up being her new boss the two attempt to keep everything professional. But when Jackson asks for more no strings sex can Piper keep her feelings for him quiet? Will the two be able to keep everything just professional? With adorable characters and a heartwarming storyline this was an enjoyable read that I highly recommend.

An enthralling and sexy standalone romance in the "Misadventures" series!

After a breakup, Piper is starting over in New York City and ready for a fresh start. Unfortunately, Piper isn't making strides in her social life, so her sister, Hailey, sets up a dating profile for her. Hailey also, acting as Piper, agrees to a date with Jackson. Piper would not normally be the type to meet a strange man for a blind date, but she's willing to give it a chance...especially since this is the start of her new life and she's craving a little excitement.

Jackson is intense, serious and hot-as-hell. He and Piper agree to a one-night stand and spend a steamy evening together. What Piper does not expect to happen is that she'll run into Jackson on Monday morning and discover that he's her new boss! Jackson has had a difficult time keeping an assistant and is in the middle of a big business deal, so he has to make the situation with Piper work. It all ends up being more than either one of them expected!

This is the second book I've read in the "Misadventures" series and I love that they can easily be finished in an afternoon. What I enjoyed about this story was the evolution of the relationship between Piper and Jackson - especially when he let his guard down. Definitely a must-read for contemporary romance fans!
