I love the idea of opposite attract and you don’t get any more different than a city girl and a mountain man.
They meet, both caught each other in a private moment and the rest of the book is them bumping uglies the entire time.
I love my sexy times but if this book didn’t have those steamy hot scenes I don’t think the read would have been interesting.

One of these two authors was new to me, but this won’t be the last book I read by either of these authors. I loved this. Madison’s freshly divorced. Saddened by her ex husband’s betrayal. Cheating on her after he rises to celebrity status. She gets away from it all and stays at some mountain retreat. Going for a hike she finds a place to swim and while masturbating, she gets caught by the classic looking mountain man.
Luke is ex Navy, damaged from what he did and saw during his career as a Navy Seal. He likes the peace and quiet of mountain life, but he’s instantly drawn to Madison.
Fast forward, she catches him in a compromising position and after a shaky start, they start to become closer. Trouble is, he can’t live in the city and she can’t live his extremely primitive lifestyle. But, they can’t give each other up. Compromises will have to be made and Luke has the perfect solution. Loved these characters. Luke is such a gorgeous hulk of a man, but really so kind and caring. Plus the sex is hot. Loved this book.
Misadventures of a City Girl is a sweet, sexy insta-love kinda thing. Well maybe not insta, but really quick.
Madison needs time away from LA. Time away from her cheating ex. Just time away. So she books herself a retreat at a hippie dippy kind of place. On her first day there, she’s pleasuring herself in the water and suddenly she notices a hunky mountain man watching her. What could have been a really hot encounter, though, fizzles when he turns out to be a big grump and leaves her to find her own way back to her cabin after leading her to the trail. She’s totally intrigued by him and sets off to find him the next day. When she comes upon a cabin set away from everything, and walks in on said hunky mountain man pleasuring HIMSELF, all bets are off for our two lovers.
I have to admit that Misadventures was not quite what I expected. I wasn’t expecting it to be pretty much just one big ball of sexy times. But I’m not disappointed because Madison and Luke are hot together, and on their own, are likable characters with interesting backstories. I perhaps wished for a bit more relationship development before rushing headlong into all the sex, or at least, WHILE they were having all their steamy times, but honestly, it’s not that big of a deal because Misadventures is a really entertaining, sweet piece of smut with heart.
If you like your romances with a smidge of heart, a lot of sweet, and LOTS of sex, Misadventures of a City Girl is the story for you. 1 click today!
Brad and Lexi are making second chances so deliciously tempting you won’t be able to resist! Lexi has a pretty great life – she loves her family, her awesome friends, and her amazing restaurant. Not to say she doesn’t have her problems though… as a business owner she worries constantly about keeping her head above water while balancing her love for Minnie’s Diner charm, she can let her emotions – i.e. hunger – run her life, and she’s wanting in the romance department. The last last two are how she finds herself making a Faustian deal with Bradley Hamilton – her once best friend whom after losing his hockey career pushed her away and now they don’t even speak even though they live literally across the hall. This deal involves a stuck elevator, a very hungry Lexi, a fast food hamburger, and a date… but when hunger and hormones are involved logic goes right out the window. Lexi always wanted there to be more with Brad, but they were firmly friends and when he so harshly pushed her away she was crushed to lose one of her best friends and the dream of something more. Brad is an idiot. For decades he was firmly friendzoned with Lexi and while he loved being the person she ran to, laughed with and hung with – he died a little inside at the prospect of never having her as his own. When he got hurt, in an even bigger bonehead move he pushed Lexi away and lost even her friendship for 3 years and what a long 3 years it was. Now that he has this chance to get her back he is not going to ruin it and this time he is not going to be delegated to the friends table. He has waited years for his shot with Lexi and he is going full stop to make sure she knows that he is all in and that she is the be all end all as far as he is concerned. Love, Laughter, and Longing – and that’s just about the food!
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book.
Hot and steamy, and exactly what you’d expect when you put Chelle Bliss and Meredith Wild together. I can only hope this isn’t the last we see of these two collaborating!
This book was cute, funny and steamy!!
it was a great read to relax and lose my mind for a while..
The characters where good.. Madison was a strong heroine looking for what she needed and wanted to survive in this new life.. after being newly fresh divorced she wants to escape the city for a while.. to forget everything and start all over again.. but she didn’t expect to find him and feel this way.. she wasn’t supposed to feel anything anymore but life has strange ways for us to heal .. and this time the healing has a name ..
Luke lives outside of the city and also the world.. he is suffering form some form of PTSD and he prefers to live in a more isolated secluded area… but everything will change when a city girl comes luring around his woods to steal his love, heart and life..
if you’re looking for a fast, easy read this is your book…
I’ve read quite a few of the Misadventures series, this is my least favorite. Only saving grace was Luke, enjoyed his character a lot, and I’m all for hot steamy sex, but this was a bit much, and there wasn’t much to the story for the first 3/4th of the book except sex! Didn’t care for Madison at all, she just didn’t do anything for me, i loved Susan (emotional),Susie (freaking adorable), and the end was very romantic.

it was amazing
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
When Madison Atwood got divorced from a Hollywood Hot Shot, she needed an escape. With the tabloids all over the news and the paparazzi on her heels she runs to s swanky retreat in Northern California. Avalon Springs is the mountainside haven she needs to find herself again.
Luke Dawson lives off the grid. He prefers his solitude to society. However when he finds a beautiful woman soaking in the hot springs on his property, he couldn’t help himself from watching her. She captures his attention but she is just a city girl and a distraction disturbing the peace he has settled here to find. But, when Madison discovers Luke’s secluded cabin, he can’t turn her away again. They make no promises. Madison needs to feel wanted again and Luke misses the touch of a woman. Thanks to mother nature they are forced to spend more than one night of passion together. Can Luke say goodbye to the only woman who’s made him feel anything in years and can Madison leave behind the man who brought her back to life.
Misadventures Of A City Girl was such a fun read. I loved both the characters of Madison and Luke. Madison’s life if a mess thanks to her cheating husband and their Hollywood divorce. She just needs to get out of town and find some peace in order to get her head together. She decides that a resort in Northern California is just the place to do that. However when she gets there it’s more of a group activity place than a place for lone solitaire moments so off she goes in search of the hot spring she saw online. There she runs upon Luke Dawson. One of the best looking men she has ever seen and she is immediately taken with him. However their encounter is brief and Madison goes up the mountain again in search of Luke and what she finds lights her on fire and leads to on steamy night of passion. A snow storm however keeps her in his secluded cabin for longer than either of them thought it would and they get to know each other. Will they be able to say goodbye to each other when the time comes or have they found their soul mate in each other?
Filled with fun moments, some drama and a broken man who feels that he is better off away from everyone than in society Misadventures Of A City Girl was so much fun to read. I devoured it and feel head over heels for Luke. You don’t want to miss this book. You might just find your next book boyfriend in Luke Dawson.
Wonderful read! Great characters! I could not put it down!!
The whole misadventures series is spectacular!
Loved this book.
Such a great book, I couldn’t put it down. If you haven’t read it you should definitely get it.
Favorite Quotes:
Groveling will help… Couldn’t stay married this long without eating a few slices of humble pie… Remember you’re wrong, she’s right, and it’ll always turn out in your favor.
I’ve never been so present with someone. It probably had to do with the lack of distractions. No cell phones, television, or Internet makes focusing on each other inescapable.
In the center is a king size bed made out of thick logs… “I made it myself.” Luke’s chest puffs out with pride… “I made sure its construction would stand up to rigorous use.”
My Review:
Madison was an LA girly-girl in transition as a recently betrayed, humiliated, and freshly divorced woman who is still smarting from being dumped by her first love/movie star husband. She treats herself to a month-long mountain spa retreat where she happens across a hermit/mountain man/Greek god/sexy lumberjack/Former Decorated Navy SEAL, who lives quietly and off the grid to accommodate his PTSD and rippling muscles. Of course, they have off the charts sexual chemistry and set fire to the sheets like adolescent bunny rabbits. Oh my, the storyline was highly sensual, smokin’ hot, and highly likely to cause dehydration, even for a nun. There was a transformative, sweet, and curative love story evolving during and between all the erotic sex and I actually adored this couple together.
Misadventures of a City Girl is a short and steamy, passionate and heartfelt mismatched romance. I really enjoyed this story of opposites attracting.
Madison Atwood is fresh off a divorce needing an escape. She’s hounded by paparazzi’s and tabloids, She decides to spend four weeks at a Northern California retreat. After she arrives she finds herself out of her element and decides to take a walk, wanting to get away from the crowd. She finds a hot spring to skinny dip.
Luke Dawson prefers to live off the grid. He needs to stay away from people. He built his home, an escape, a haven from the outside world which has been breached by a city girl skinny dipping on his mountain.
Their brief encounter sends Madison looking for the sexy mountain man and finding much, much more.
Luke suffers from PTSD from his career in the military. He’s chosen a life of solitude to cope with daily life. Madison is lost after her divorce, her hotshot husband’s infidelity had taken her by surprise. Luke and Madison came from very different worlds but are immediately drawn together. It’s sexy and heartwarming. They want a relationship but can they find their middle ground?
I ate up this story. It’s a steamy, feel-good story. Luke is nothing but swoony. 5 Stars!
This is such an amazing book! I’m a huge Chelle Bliss fan so I knew I was going to have to dive into this fabulous book! Putting Chelle and Meredith together is simply and utterly GENUS! The chemistry between Luke and Madison was outstanding and smoking hot! The storyline and the exclusion were flawless! I’ll be rereading this book in the VERY near future!
3.5 stars! Instant lust turned love with sexy times and a hot mountain man. Cute storyline with likable characters. A light, entertaining read that made for an fun afternoon!
I absolutely loved reading this book! Meredith and Chelle are a perfect author duo! The chemistry between Madison and Luke are amazing! This is one steamy book you will not put down! This was my first Misadventures book of the series, and it definitely won’t be the last!
Loved this book! Great steamy quick read! There was a lot of emotion in this book. Loved Maddie and Luke they have great chemistry and this book kept me turning the pages! Can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the series!
OMG this is one hot book. Literally in no time at all do they just right into it. Luke is just awesome and makes you want to find yourself one just like him. I love this book so so much and think anyone who loves this genre needs to read it asap if they haven’t already.
I received an ARC from Meredith Wild and Chelle Bliss. I have read several books by Meredith but this was my first by Chelle.
I loved it! I loved the chemistry between Madison and Luke. It was off the charts hot. This is a Mountain Man meets City Girl story, it is fast paced and an quick read. It can easily be read in an hour or two, but life and migraines happen and so it took me a couple days of reading it. I don’t want to give anything away for future readers so there isn’t much that I can say. I highly recommend this book to all romance readers, you will get some very hot scenes that spark of the page. I look forward to reading all the other books that will be coming in the Misadventures series!
Everyone is going to want a Luke of their own. He is total ALPHA!!
