**I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is my first book in the misadventure series. It’s also the first book I’ve read by this author.
I have read other books that dealt with ménage or polyamorous relationships. But all of them started with men who chose the lifestyle and were looking for a female third. This book took a different track and I appreciated that.
Wild and Maddox had a solid friendship and partnership before Jaz arrived on the scene. They built a friendship with her and after a steamy session on the dance floor of a club, Jaz asks about dating both of them. They are not on board at first but find themselves drawn to her.
I liked that there were discussions and adjustment and that the friendships were just as important as the potential relationship.
The characters were a little flat but overall I enjoyed the story.

Friends to lovers romp that eventually leads to more. Misadventures in a Threesome is more about the journey to get to the three some than actually having one. For those that are manage curious, I think this is a great gateway story. Building the bridge of friendship and then taking it to the next level works well for these three.

A funny, sexy and engaging romantic journey that is filled with witty banter, heart pounding action and undeniable passion.... The charters are interesting, engaging and relatable. Really enjoyed this quick yet highly entertaining adventure.

WOW! I just loved this whole story. The way everyone bonded was like they had always belonged together. Even though the guys took a little longer to realize it seemed like was the realization hit them they were in.

This was a fun read. Max and Wild are co-owners of Transform, a fitness center, and are expanding and hiring and their newest hire is intriguing and arousing to both of them. Jasmine doesn't necessarily have the most extensive resume but she has the determination to succeed and she has found her home at Transform and something special with both Max and Wild. Max is all about control, he needs it in his life to keep his inner demons at bay but Jaz comes into their life and suddenly both he and Wild are craving the same woman and conveniently Jaz wants both of them. They are firmly in the friendship zone until Max's birthday and dancing turns dirty and hands and kissing on the dance floor is involved. When Jaz turns up with donuts the next morning with a proposition to date both men, it takes a minute (or few) for the them to get on board but they finally settle into a dating schedule. How long can dating last until that is not enough? Make sure you read this one to the end! As with all the Misadventures, they are a hoot and highly recommended for a good time.

Pleasantly surprised that it was such a good story. I was expecting one thing and got a totally different thing. Jaz was quite an interesting character and I liked how her story was written. It progressed quite well with no lull in the story. Hot in all the right spots.

I loved the concept behind this book, however I felt there could have been a bit more grit to it. Maddox was my favorite. I can see him being a deep brooding thinker and that's hot. The princess names Jasmine and her sister's had are absolutely adorable. I really enjoyed the book but I wanted more. I felt it just kinda ended. Maybe a sequel lol. Elizabeth Hayley does it again! Thank you for the threesome!

This book felt very realistic. This is 3 friends learning to navigate together a romantic relationship were all of them are happy and comfortable. Focused on Jaz as their main interest Mad and Wild learn that even when they don't have attraction towards each other they still love and respect each other. That just helps them get to a level where the usual jealousy and competitiveness doesn't exists. What it does is, it makes the scenes were they are intimate way HOT!!!

This story was easy to read and it pleased me that it touched on the subject of what is right and normal versus what is perceived as right by others. What is considered the norm and that worry about what others might think. That is something that at least one of these characters struggles through. But there are 3 of them so no one is actually alone with their feelings and it was nice to read their relationship and feelings grow while their insecurities disappeared.

I just love stories like this one. It had been a while since just the book title captured my attention. Not only am I a fan of the Misadventures series, but I am a fan of threesomes. *wink-wink*

I truly expected a good story with a sexy threesome scene. I had not read the blurb, so that totally grabbed me. But, I got so much more out of this romance. The characters were funny with likeable personalities. They made me laugh, made me swoon and even had me squirming in my seat. Things could get quite intense between them and I mean that in a wonderful way.

I absolutely LOVE polyamorous love stories and the story of Maddox, Wilder and Jasmine ticked ALL of my boxes. So much so, I was wishing to be the meat in a Mad and Wild sandwich. A girl can hope!

I was not familiar with this author, as the Misadventures name is what initially snagged my attention; however, I am a fan now. I loved her writing, the chemistry she detailed between the characters and the incredible bond they shared within the friendship they formed as their foundation. The ease with how they interacted with each other - I felt it, and that is what bonded me with them. Not once did feel like a reader of a love story. I felt like I was at the table as they enjoyed a dinner out and teased each other. I felt present in the room during their most intimate moments. Her storytelling enhanced my reading experience and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment.

I recieved this arc from Netgalley. I was so happy to get approved to read this one. I have been looking forward to it for months.
I did like Jazz she knew how to stand up for herself. The guys relationship was so good. They were great best friends who understood eachother like no other. Yes I was a bit disappointed by this one. Maybe the title made me so anxious. You hear threesome and you automatically think this will be a very steamy and maybe erotic book. Half way thru the story they still didn't have sex. It was cute and I did stay up to read it. I read it in one day. I did love how she mentioned the word misadventure in the book.

I didn't enjoy this book at all. I was excited when I read the synopsis, however the actual story failed. It lacked lust, warm romance, interesting dialogue. It just seemed to read like little more than a list, with no emotion.

Jasmine Pritchett has finally found the perfect job that allows her creative side to come through, but she doesn't want to jeopardize it to pursue the growing attraction she feels for her two employers. When the trio let loose on the dance floor, the chemistry is undeniable. A great addition to the Misadventures Series, especially if you're looking for a quick, scorching read!

If you do not like going to the gym for a workout, this book might just change your mind. Jasmine moved away from home and has been looking for another job. She finds her way to Transform, a gym looking to increase their classes and hire a new instructor. Maddox and Wilder are best friends that own Transform and they are like the odd couple as Maddox is a straight-laced, follow the rules kind of guy while Wilder is like his name implies….Wild. The moment that Jasmine comes in for her interview, Wilder is rocked and hires her immediately. Maddox is also attracted to Jasmine but comes around a bit more slowly. The longer Jazmine is working with the men, the three develop a friendship but each one wants more. How will they work it out as Jazmine, technically, works for them in a professional capacity? Are the men willing to share? Can this type of relationship work for the long term? This is one storyline that gives the reader a slow burn with a look at the trials and tribulations that people go through that are interested in this type of a relationship. There were some points that were a little predictable but the writing style and witty dialogue made this a steamy, gratifying read. I look forward to reading more from this series.
I volunteered to read an advance copy provided by Netgalley.

This was my second Elizabeth Hayley read and I enjoyed this one more than their first Misadventures book. It could be because of the whole polyamorous angle or the two sexy men...kind of hard to beat that.

Jasmine (Jaz) is new to town and applies for a job teaching fitness classes at a local gym; she gets the job, of course, despite her lack of experience. Her new bosses are the carefree and funny Wilder and the serious and commanding Army vet Maddox. There's instant attraction when the guys meet Jaz, but of course, they're her bosses and that makes her off limits. Plus, they both like her and it would be hard to see the other with her and lose out on the same thing. That's not how things go though, as the title implies. Jaz has her eyes set on both guys and proposes a polyamorous relationship to satisfy her need for both guys.

This was a unique read for me. I've read many menage books before, but this one seemed different than the rest. While most menage books have couples that date together and do pretty much everything as a group, this one was unique in that the focus was on the individual couple relationships. It's even mentioned in the end that they have few group outings, but would rather have their individual dates with Jaz than ones where all three spend time together dating. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, just different.

I enjoyed reading about their individual dates and how they connected. I just wish we had more. We only get a few glimpses into their relationship outside of the bedroom and it just left me needing more to really feel satisfied. I missed that connection with the characters. In addition, the L word is never mentioned by any of the characters (Mad does say he thinks he may love her at one point, but that's the end of that). That's probably a first for me in a romance novel and leaves me a bit disappointed when I feel like things weren't wrapped up well. I can only assume they go on to have a great relationship, but we're left hanging after they make up in the end.

The chemistry in the bedroom is obvious and I think that heat is really what made me give this one 4 stars instead of 3. I'd have given this a higher rating had we got more of the romance story and maybe had an epilogue that showed how their relationship developed in the real world. I'm just not completely convinced things work out for them in the long run since we're only given glimpses into their everyday lives as a trio.

That being said, I read this one really quickly, so that says something about me not wanting to put it down.

I really liked Misadventures in a Threesome by Elizabeth Hayley. This is the second book I've read by this duo and I really like their writing style. I really like Wild, Jaz and Mad.

Jaz (love the history of her name given in the story) is looking for a job and finds it at Mad and Wild's gym. They are two best friends/business owner/roommates who are hard body gym rats with brains. As they all develop a cool friendship until it turns romantic.

Things I like was the explanation of their unique relationship with the three of them.There were questions and discussions prior to romance. I enjoyed their friendship between all three of them and how it develops organically. Adored that it is not insta love.

I have really enjoyed this Misadventures series and this one by Elizabeth Hayley is definitely my new favorite.! This book could have just been a non-stop sex romp between a woman and two men but like the title says, it clearly is quite the misadventure. What I truly enjoyed was the slow build-up, where I was able to meet and get to know Jasmine, Maddox and Wilder and feel as comfortable with their new arrangement as they did.

As they travel on this new road to satisfaction, Mad and Wild tread lightly as they each 'date' Jaz, their newest trainer in the gym they both co-own. It's a steamy yet steady burn as the physical becomes more heated as days turn into weeks and I was extremely happy that they took their time in becoming lovers. There is plenty of great wit and a mutual affection that develops as they all hang out together and as two separate couples.

And all I can say is when they finally get to the climax (pun intended) of this story, it was well worth the wait. For them and for me!!

Hayley beautifully combines the right amount of passion with true adoration for all involved. Mad and Wild are two very sexy men and the naughty angel they discover in Jaz is just what they all needed to feel complete. These are very endearing characters and I particularly loved that Jaz is portrayed as dedicated yoga instructor who knows what she wants and is not afraid to go after it. Her spunk and determination were perfectly written.

I'd happily read more from this author as her words flowed beautifully and I was sad to see this misadventure end.

Really well done, Misadventures in a Threesome deserves a solid 5 stars!

2.5-3 stars. This book was only okay for me. Misadventures in a Threesome is about Jaz, Maddox and Wilder. Maddox and Wilder are best friends who own a gym. Jaz is their new employee who will teach exercise classes. They all become good friends and, gradually, the men come to like Jaz as more than a friend. They have never had a menage relationship and find it too weird for them at first, but they do agree to begin to both date her separately. Together, they have to maneuver their boss-employee relationship, as well as how to date Jaz and not hurt the men's friendship.

This book took quite a while to get going and for me to get used to the writing style. It was slow and there was a lot of set-up, but no talk of attraction, between the characters who are expected to fall in love, until around 37%. I felt no chemistry. There were several pet peeves of mine included, as well. Such as, a hero who gets sloppy, fall-down drunk is a big turn-off. Still, as the book went on, I did start to like it more. It is a pretty slow burn (I felt very little burn), friends to lovers book. Also, this is a MFM book, but it is more like a MF book with two heroes. The relationships between Jaz and Maddox and Jas and Wilder are pretty much separate. I did feel 'like' between the men and Jaz, but not love. There is no talk of love at all or of the future (besides living together). I'm not even sure if I'd call this an HFN. They end up just casually dating. I just don't see much between the trio but physical and can't see their relationship lasting.

Overall, this book was not terrible, but not very good for me. I love MFM done right, but I didn't love the way it is done in this book. This is my first book by Elizabeth Hayley and I'm not sure if I would read anything by her again.
