Senior Detective Cat Day has one hard and fast rule about dating: no cops. They live hard and die young—a truth she’s faced every day since her fiancé’s tragic death several years ago. But when rookie Jace Sutton shows up to work the same burglary investigation, she feels desire she hasn’t felt in years.Jace knows what he wants the minute Detective Day strolls onto his crime scene in heels and a … heels and a pencil skirt tailored by God himself. He wants to thaw the legendary Ice Queen, and it only takes one hot, dirty night for Jace to realize he wants more. Much, much more.
But more is the last thing Cat wants from any cop—especially a playboy rookie like Jace. As the burglary investigation heats up and he repeatedly puts himself in danger, Cat must ask herself if Jace will be as reckless with her heart as he is with his life.

Five starts does not make justice to this book!
Misadventures in Blue was naughty as hell and filthy AF. Leave to Sierra Simone to create a sinful and fervent cougar romp and turn it into a genuine story with this ardent and passionate kind of love that make you ache and swoon at the same time. This book is what wet dreams are made of, intense chemistry and deep connection. Forbiddingly delicious and perversely dirty with sweet touches of poignant and forbidden love. It is a dangerous blend only Sierra can create. It is uniquely Sierra Simone. Too hot. Too intense. Too filthy and rich. Too sexy. In two words: simply perfection.
I devoured every sinful word and every poignant chapter. Everything about this book make it a sexy and fantastic read. It was the most unputdownable novel I had read over the month, so engrossing that one cannot stop reading it, so magisterially written and one-of-a-kind romance between an older woman and a young man, so rarely to find. It is an exciting and terrifying journey that demolish any notion about a difference in age between two people who belong together despite any “moral” standard.
Cat and Jace’s story is a delightful and naughty journey, unlike anything else. Ladies we are talking about insta-attraction from both sides. Their banter, their affection, their ravenous desire for each other is genuine. Their romance is one of a kind and it is one that happens once-in-a-lifetime. It’s potent, intoxicating and consuming. They long for each other from the moment they met. The chemistry between them is out of the charts and once they had a taste it will be and feel like they will burn to ashes, craving the forbidden sensations and wicked hunger for each other.
Cat is a fierce, successful and powerful woman who aggressively conquered a field dominated by men. She is a senior detective, the famous and legendary “Ice Queen”. She’s exceptionally good at her job. She has a clever and brilliant mind that allows her to solve any case they throw at her. She only has one rule: never date a cop because losing her fiancé who was a cop almost destroyed her. But rules are meant to be broken, they said… When she works in a robbery case a handsome and very young rookie will rock her world in the most tempting and delicious way. Will said rookie be able to melt the ice around her heart?
Jace, oh my! He is the man who any woman dreams of. If you have a thing for men in uniforms, Jace Sutton is the perfect date for you. He is young but has an old soul. He is sin personified with lots of testosterone running in his body. He has the stamina of a young stallion ready to claim his female. His sharp mind and seriousness make him even more attractive and dangerous. His military experience fits his job perfectly. As a rookie cop, he will be assigned to the same case Cat is working on. The moment he set his eyes on her a spark of fire burst inside him, arousing an untamed desire to possess and own the “Ice Queen”, his superior, his weakness, his queen. One taste won’t satisfy him, he will want more. He won’t care about their age difference. He might be young but he knows what he wants and he wants Cat to be his as he is hers. But the question is, will Cat let him conquer her iced heart?
Misadventures in Blue is a spicy-hot novel, incredibly sexy, a page-turning, a luscious blend of heat and sweet, a tempting read. I would never be tired of Sierra Simone’s books because she always surprise me with new forbidden stories that make me very addicted to. She REALLY knows which strings pull in order to seduce her readers with unique, sinful and forbidden romances.
Quick! Sound the Alarm! Hot Officer Jace is here… boyy MIB is rolling out with spicy story around the blue uniform. NO secret that I adored books within the law men/women. MIB had set me on fire with the relationship between Jace and Cat the Ice Queen… I love the connection.. the first feeling…OMG this book shouldnt be read in public
MIB was spot on with the topic with age gap romance.. the dynamic was fast and hot. The drama of self struggle was real.. how can you not?
Well, as always Ms. Simone delivers an incredibly sexy, fun age-gap romance. This author and her words are pure magic, in my opinion, and she cannot write a bad book and this book? Just like her rest… PERFECTION in every sense of the word.
I have been so eager to start this wave Misadventures, and what a way to kick start it off. Not only was it deliciously hot, but it also held depth, which is one of the MANY reasons why Sierra Simone is one of my top 5 favorite authors of all time. She pushes boundaries, she isn’t afraid to do so either, and the way she delivers these words… Seriously you can’t help but fall in love.
Cat hasn’t had the best run with life, her past making it hard for to be truly let people see her real emotions and actually feel them herself, instead, she is closed off and works tirelessly at her job as a Detective and it’s made evident… And though her past is rough, to say the least, she is still a strong character. She takes the lead and when push comes to shove, she can take charge and get what she needs/wants. She is a phenomenal character and she was a treat to read. She has lived a life alone for the last 12 years after losing someone she loved more than anything in the world, but the moment she laid eyes on the new cop, She knew that she needed him for at least one blissful night.
Jace is new to the force, but he has knowledge from the military. When he and Cat cross paths he can’t help but want to know more about this woman. He had heard stories of how closed off and cold she is but that didn’t stop him from lusting after her… He knew the moment he saw her that he wanted her but given the age difference and her icy cold persona will this lead to more than just a fling for these two? Or will Cat let her walls down and let Jace in…
I loved this! It was such an enjoyable read. It was hot, full of chemistry, that push and pull feeling and it held an emotional side to it too. It proves that Sierra Simone can write just about anything and it will always be flawlessly and Misadventures In Blue was one hell of a start to this seasons line up.
I highly recommend this book, you will certainly not be disappointed!
5 Stars!
4.5 Stars
Cat is a 37 year old detective in Kansas.
She hasn’t really dated or had a real relationship since her fiancé died in the line of duty 12 years ago.
And now here’s this smart, young and very hot cop at her crime scene. Insta-attraction on both sides.
Why not have a little one-night thing with this very young hottie? Her work-friends tell her she has no life outside of work. Let’s do this.
But Jace is not on board with this one-night-only thing at all. He wants more. He wants everything!
LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN …
Phew! That was cute and erotic and fun and a bit police-y exciting!
I loved reading it.
I think there’s nothing Sierra Simone could write that I wouldn’t love!
Nothing more to say.
Great little hella sexy age-gap-cougar-cop-love-story!
What a deliciously hawt story! Jace and Cat are drawn together at first sight. The chemistry between them sizzles off the page. Despite that it’s dual point of view, I felt that we got more background on Cat’s history, pain and obstacles than Jace’s. I also kept expecting something to arise from the gut feeling Cat had about Kenneth, but nothing came of it. It was a saucy read, a definite change of undies type situation and well worth the read.

Misadventures in Blue by Sierra Simone was a novella in the Misadventures series written by various popular best selling steamy romance authors. I’ve enjoyed the series and Misadventures in Blue was no exception!
Jace Sutton had served his country in the military and was now a rookie cop serving his home town. He was young but had an old soul. And not surprising, once he found something he wanted, he had a singular focus. Enter Detective Catherine “Cat” Day.
Cat was a senior investigator on the police force and earned the nickname Ice Queen by all who worked with her. In reality, it was a mask to cover the pain from losing her fellow cop fiancé twelve years prior. She liked being dubbed the Ice Queen and no Rookie Cop was going to change it.
Misadventures in Blue was a fast and fun read. Jace and Cat had explosive chemistry from the get-go and their steamy encounters kept me coming back for more. Additionally, Simone included a suspenseful plot as a secondary storyline for added depth and dimension. All in all, it was a quick and entertaining read. This was my first read by Simone but it won’t be my last.
Wow!!!
It was sexy as hell, loved the story, loved Jace’s determination and how Cat fought her demons to find her happiness.
It was just awesome Sierra never disappoints!!
Jace and Cat were perfect for each other. While this was a pretty predicted story with age difference between characters and the society stamp point of couples won’t be successful with age difference. I love how Jace is set to let society say “Screw You” and convince Cat that they were made for each other. I loved how a case in their careers brought them together and during their time their love for each other grew.
Sierra Simone was out of this world with this short story. I loved how she was able to touch this age difference couple. Her writing was amazing, it reminds me how I fell in love with her writing from The New Camelot series from its first page. Definitely worth reading it and worth 5*****
Just the sexy escape I needed … I love the older woman/younger man trope! One of my favs!
Sat down with this book for a leisurely Sunday read – knowing my darling Ms. Simone would write a fluffy romance about being in love with a HOT police officer…..HAH! Sierra’s books are anything but “fluffy”. She has a dramatic writing style and a fabulous vocabulary. She rocked this “easy afternoon read” into a deep, thought-provoking, sexy “age gap” romance that keeps you cuffed to the book til the end!
Cat is our mid-thirties, strong and successful detective heroine in a suburban police department. Dubbed the “Ice Queen” – she’s OK with that as it was brought about thru her lost fiancee’s tragedy that is no business of anyone else. Jace is the “Hot Cop” who is fresh off a stint in the military and looking to settle down in his hometown. He is a pretty mature twenty-something and has an instant appreciation for exploring a more permanent relationship with our Cat.
Right off the bat, Ms. Simone puts them in a pretty explosive relationship – no waiting until the 2/3 mark of the book for this author! Cat does have that internal angst with dating this young “rookie” and wants him to explore other younger options so he doesn’t miss out, etc. He’s not having any of that – so he bides his time. Misadventures in Blue contains some police/detective drama that puts the two in some potentially dangerous situations, but the main focus is our heroine overcoming this cougar/young stud dynamic. Eventually this relationship grows to love on both sides – and our dramatic HEA is perfection.
Sierra Simone is one of my must-reads every time she comes out with a new story. Her Misadventure books (Misadventures of a Curvy Girl and Misadventures with a Professor) have all been hits on my list.
Age gap romance at it’s best. Cat and Jace were made for each other but she lost her fiance cop when he was trying to protect her years ago and can’t get over the fact that Jace is a young cop who should be with someone his own age. This book was hot and very easy to read, great story and happy ending.
Well this was fun and dramatic and sensual and deep and heated. The characters are well meshed and realized.
Along with the romance it has the added bonus of ‘who done it’, and it was weaves into the story very well. I enjoyed this book.
When love grabs you tightly what does age or occupation matter. To some, like Cat Day, it is more important than getting a happily ever after. But to some, like Jace Sutton, these are not even a consideration in the realm of love.
This couple will heat you up quickly and keep the burn going through the whole book. But, they also give you those sweet intimate moments as well as heart-wrenching times that make you want to hold them close. Sierra Simone is stellar at love and lust and as well as heart and soul in her words. You will love every minute of the fight for true love between Jace and Cat.
Sierra can do no wrong, as she has proven with every single book she has published (I have read them all). Jace and Cat are a unique, beautiful duo with such great chemistry is really does leap off the page. I love a good age gap, especially a well done older woman-younger man trope, so I gobbled this up and yearned for seconds!
“Whatever you need.”
“God. I could listen to that voice say whatever you need every night for the rest of my life. Low in my ear…against the nape of my neck…from between my legs.”
This is another delightfully dirty “Misadventure” written by the scorchingly hot pen of Sierra Simone. This author can write a sex scene that has the reader fairly dizzy from the details of the characters in their erotic “Misadventures”. More than this…there is a lovely arc of character development particularly with the heroine who is an older woman and professional detective, with scars from her past, and dangerously attracted to a much younger but combat tested rookie police officer.
It is a shorter story but so well done. Ms. Simone packs a lot of heat, heart and a touch of danger and suspense in this novella. You cannot help but fall in love with the hero, Jace. The heroine Cat is scarred, scared, strong and stubborn. I especially love this trope… younger man loves an older woman. Naturally, their are deep insecurities on the part of the older heroine. Cat has even more reasons to shy away from anything permanent with Jace, although she cannot tear herself away from the physical heat and attraction that sizzles and goes off like an explosion between them when connect sexually.
They are so very well suited to each other…but there is so much to overcome that will lead to anything lasting …and Cat keeps telling herself this. While Jace is falling and finds himself in love with Cat and wants more than their “off the chain” hot sex. The reader can virtually taste the angst in the air. The relationship ebbs and flows while both of these characters working on a string of thefts of TVs. I loved the twist of what really was happening.
As always, Sierra Simone is a master with the erotica and well thought out story and the character presentation and development. I recommend this treat if you enjoy short escapes into the world of romance and all its subtleties, insights and delights. All of these are packed into this shorter story.
Catherine “Cat” Day aka Ice Queen
Jace Sutton
Sierra Simone wrote one sexy and steamy book. It took my mind (while reading) on a wild and at many times emotional misadventure.
This book is about an older woman who struggles with herself over whether she should be with a much younger man. Forcing herself to be unhappy, because society says it’s unconventional.
I love these Misadventures books, each one can be read as a standalone and all are very quick reads. Once you start you won’t be able to stop. Every one of these authors are special.
This book of course gets 5 stars.
This book, oh god I’m in love. I started this book today and devoured it and I’m in awe.
I just want to add I started this book in a cop station and had no idea how the beginning was gonna go and hot damn, I’ve never been so flustered in a cop station, what an experience, thanks for that haha.
Cat Day is a senior detective called in to help on a case that’s puzzling everyone, what she didn’t expect is her life is about to change.
Jace Sutton, a rookie assigned to the detective is completely mesmerised by the silent ice queen, he knows there’s more to the woman than what people see and he’ll do whatever he can to break down the walls.
Watching these two work the case together is incredible. I’m a sucker for an age gap when written well and this one was incredible. Sierra Simone really knows how to hook you in with the sexy times, the insanely hot sexual chemistry and adorable moments. They all mix together and creat the perfect storyline.
What I didn’t love was the amount of pushing she did, it damn well hurt my heart, I hated it but I understood it. I got so frustrated gah.
Misadventures In Blue was naughty as hell and sexy as f**k.
Misadventures in Blue does not disappoint at all. Sierra brings us two characters that have the chemistry that flies off the pages. If you are looking for a shorter read of Sierra Simone’s, this is one for you. Love it.
Dirty, sweet and you’re my girl….
The Misadventure series brings us yet another thigh clenching story you can really dig your reading chops into.
Cat Day, Senior Detective gorgeous, has all the smarts, but also has a reputation as being an Ice Cold Queen. She has a lot of baggage she holds onto that makes her hard to break through her emotional suit of armor. Jace is a rookie copy that is immediately attracted to Cat. There are a few flies in the ointment, one being he is much younger than her. Jace does not see any issues with that, but Cat does. After spending an erotic, hot as holy hell night with Jace, Cat feels she has stepped into the deep end of the pool. She needs to nip this in the bud, but it’s not so easy when Jace ticks a lot of her boxes that have not been fulfilled for years.
Sierra Simone had me at older woman/younger man sexy relationship and has you wondering if they can actually make this relationship with “no name” work. The rest of the story was definitely a joy and a wonderful roller coaster ride you will not soon forget.
I love this woman, seriously. She knows how to write a panty melting scene, but it’s her characters that make you keep reading. No one is perfect and vulnerabilities always shape the relationships. Happy endings aren’t built on perfection. Hard work and courage to try again, even after tragedy or being burned, is why people stay together. Simone never fails to show that.
