Author
This is my first read-listen by Meredith Wild and Chelle Bliss. Since this is a joint effort, I will have to rate them both the same, which is sexy hot! I loved the characters plus all the dirty talk and action! I will be looking into more from these ladies for sure.
Narrator(s)
Jennifer Mack and Lance Greenfield alternate on this title by chapter point of view. They both did an excellent job with both story and character. I did prefer Lance’s voice when it came to Luke. Jennifer did a good job, which would of been great if she was solo on this. Unfortunately for her, Lance’s sexy gruff was just so much sexier. In an ideal world, when there are more than one narrator, the ‘voice’ of any character would be done by the same person regardless of point of view.

Ever read a booked that everybody loved but you can’t love it even you really tried? Well that was this book for me.
When I started reading it I could already tell that I was not going to like this too much. I know this is an erotic romance but damn, it was nowhere near realistic. If you don’t mind that then you should be fine. Maybe I shouldn’t be too hard on it, I think I am just because it was so hyped up and I kept seeing advertising for it on Facebook. I just went in with bigger expectations than I should.
Now I’m not saying it’s not a good book. It was a quick sexy read.
I like the characters okay. I want a Luke Dawson! He was rugged, self-sufficient, and willing to please. (In and out of the bedroom) Madison was an okay character. She wasn’t as stuck up of a city girl as I expected her to be(which is good). They met under unrealistic circumstances, (view spoiler)But they did have great chemistry together.
The only things that really bugged me were too much sex, hell at one point it’s all they were doing. Also the back and forth about where they were going to live was a little exhausting.
Overall, it was a quick read and it was pretty steamy too.
Love love loved this book. Two of my favorites couldn’t put it down. I think that the two of them came up with an awesome sexy love story. I love how this book grabs your attention and you get wrapped into it. The way that these two awesome writers give us a insight into Luke and Madison’s minds make you want more. I don’t want to say to much and not give you the chance to get caught up in this hot sweet sex romance that they knocked out of the park. Absolutely would recommend this read. Love Meredith Wild and Chelle Bliss can’t wait for more books from them.
What a Great story! I really couldn’t tell it was written by two different writers. Madison and Like we’re so different and yet they were so right for each other. I loved their passion and chemistry. The only thing that didn’t ring true was Luke’s PTSD. his presentation of symptoms was pretty mild given his level of isolation. I realize that everyone with PTSD doesn’t have severe symptoms but his level of symptoms didn’t fit his level isolation. I’m really glad they got to their HEA
I loved this book! Take one city girl and mix with a sexy mountain man and you have quite the adventure!!
This story is not like anything I have ever read of Chelle’s its super amazing. I for one have not read any of Wild’s stories but wow these 2 together blew my mind freaking away. I was hooked on this story I had read a few chapters before abut really sat down and read the rest of the 13 chapters in one go I couldn’t put it down for anything. I was so interested on the characters and what was going to happen next for Luke and Maddy that I couldn’t stop turning the page. Luke is this alpha man, he’s a man’s man type, rough around the edges and sweet on the inside he really knows how to be hard and soft all at once. He’s one to really get you wanting more in the story with his wilderness and the hottness that describes him it’s really a page turner. Maddy this girl comes out on top of the world I love the fact she grows in this story, from a weak woman to someone that is super strong. She takes whatever her trip gives her head first. I loved her easy laid back way of doing everything, also loved the carefree way she does everything and I do mean everything. Shes this free spirit that overcomes the worse of the worse. This story brings people together and makes the most out of everything come to life. I really enjoyed the story and wanted more by the time the end happened. It feels as if I was left with a small cliffhanger but then again it seems like it was done and over with prefect way for the story to end. I recommend reading this story.
***I received this ARC for free in exchange for my honest thoughts***
I love Meredith Wild and Chelle Bliss when they write on their own… But together, these two are quite the writing duo.
The characters Luke and Madison are the lovable kind that you cannot help but fall for. Luke is an ex-Navy Seal who has retired and chosen to live a secluded life in a cabin. Then one day Madison shows up, she’s married and thinks she’s got it all, but after finding her husband has been unfaithful she escapes to the same mountains Luke is in.
Their chemistry is off the charts from the beginning. But when one is so used to the seclusion and the other is a city girl can they work on a way to be together or is this only a HOT downtime fling?
Can’t wait to read more in the Misadventures series.
An incredible story that’s a definite must read! I’m looking forward to this multi-author series!
Absolutely love this book. It’s hot and steamy. I hard a very hard time putting it down. Hats off to Chelle Bliss and Meredith Wild for an amazing book.
If you want a book with a lot of sex scenes then Misadventures of a City Girl by Meredith Wild and Chelle Bliss, Misadventures book one, is your book. Madison Atwood is in dire need of an escape after her recently publicized divorce. She runs to a posh retreat in Northern California hoping to re-center herself so she can move on. Veteran Luke Dawson lives off the grid, preferring to avoid society and interacting with people. When Luke encounters Madison soaking in the hot springs on his property, he cannot help but watch. Although she is a guest at the retreat on his property, he can’t help thinking and fantasizing about her. City girl Madsion soon discovers Luke’s secluded cabin where the two decide to spend time acting on their mutual attraction.

Madison does not want to leave Luke behind after he brought her back to life. These two need to find a compromise to meet their needs for each other.
I enjoyed reading this book and had trouble putting this book down, reading it in one day. There was a lot of time in this story spent with Madison and Luke sharing sex, in detail, overpowering some scenes. I recommend this book to other readers and am looking forward to the next book in this series.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
What more can you ask for than a book that is written by not only one of your favorite authors but TWO??? Oh I know a book written by said authors that not only has a wonderful story line but the characters are amazing as well. Not once will you be feeling as if two authors wrote this book. They did such a wonderful job writing a story that flowed. They wrote as a cohesive unit and that just made reading this book go by seamlessly.
This book was about how love happens when you least expect it, over coming our fears and compromising when in a relationship, plus so much more. Not only does this book have some serious hot scenes but the journey these two take while figuring things out is one that had me captivated. This is a book that doesn’t need all the angst that a lot of romance books have. The journey to them overcoming their fears and growing was one that had me hooked from the beginning.
I highly recommend this book and I am highly anticipating the rest of the books that are in what I am sure is a wonderful series! Can’t wait for more.
I am just going to get online and book my vacation to a secluded retreat in the mountains. Why not? I am search for my forever man that will out me first and only, worship my mind and body just as Luke did for Madison. Find my completeness in the throes of passion and tranquility. See that is what I read, what I felt and dream.
I was lost in the pages from beginning to end. Escaping to Avalon to experience peace, enjoying the feeling of no longer just existing and being broken and lonely. I was living from chapter one to the epilogue and crying somewhere in the middle. Yes, this books has everything from sexiness to understanding, growth to pampering, anger to happy tears, a feeling of lost but contemptand strength to move forward. Luke and Madison relationship lives up and exceed the promotion and hype around this release. I am happy to have experienced the vision of Meredith and Chelle and feel that should do this one more time. Great writing chemistry from beginning to end. Well developed characters and a book lovers great escape and book boyfriend.
What do you get when you put 2 amazing writers together…. You get a super hot 5 star story. My new book boyfriend Luke is awesome. You will not be disappointed. I loved Madison too, her strong spitfire attitude kept look on his toes.
Wow. Luke is one hot sure of himself alpha male. Madison is looking for herself. She finds more than herself when she meets Luke. Love how Luke makes Madison feel things she was missing in her life. They both have things to deal with from there pasts. There connection is instant. Could not put this book down. Could not wait to see where the story would go.
I received an ARC of this and this is my voluntary and honest review. This book had me captivated from start to finish to the point I put off sleep (even though I had work the next day) as I just couldn’t put it down. It is quite a fast paced book but believe me the story is not lacking in anyway. You will fall in love with Luke and Madison and at times these two might even make you blush. The chemistry between these two oozes off the pages and your kindle just might overheat with the steamy scenes. If you are looking for a romance that ticks all the boxes, gives you everything you could want and might just have you wanting to rush off into the wilderness to find your own Grizzly Adams then Misadventures of a City Girl is the book for you.
This is my first read by these authors and I’d heard some great things about them. However, this one didn’t quite live up to my expectations. The writing style and flow are good, but while it was certainly erotic, the plot left something to be desired. I knew this one would be steamy and had no issue with that, but there wasn’t much in the way of build-up or sexual tension between Madison and Luke. It felt like they were tearing each other’s clothes off before I even had time to connect with either character or want to see them together. The sex scenes were good, but without some depth of the characters involved, it becomes just one sexy time after another that could be in any romance. Overall, it’s not a bad story if you like erotica with a little story thrown in, but for this reader, it was just an okay read.
I loved Luke and Madison. After reading this book you will never look at a beard the same way again. I am not a beard girl, but Luke is very persuasive. This book is hot and funny all wrapped up in a nice little package. This book just goes to show you, don’t judge a book by it’s cover because you don’t know what is inside.
: MISADVENTURES OF A CITY GIRL by Meredith Wild and Chelle Bliss is the first installment in the multi-authored MISADVENTURES anthology series. This is Hollywood makeup artist Madison Atwood, and former Navy SEAL Luke Dawson’s story line. Each installment in the MISADVENTURES series is a stand alone, and can be read in any order.
Told from dual first person points of view (Madison and Luke) MISADVENTURES OF A CITY GIRL is an erotic story of romance; of insta lust between two people, far off the grid, struggling to move on with their lives. Madison Atwood is a newly divorced, single woman whose escape into the wilds at the Avalon Spa in Northern California will bring her face to face with a grizzly, mountain man Luke Dawson. Hoping to relax and recover following the revelation of her Hollywood hotshot husband’s infidelity, Madison embarks on a month long spa vacation but doesn’t intend to follow the retreat’s day to day itinerary. Enter Luke Dawson, a former Navy SEAL who struggles with PTSD, and the social anxiety of big city living. His reputation, whether earned or untrue, precedes his introduction to the people who live and work near the Avalon Spa. What ensues is the quick developing, sexual relationship between Luke and Madison, and the fall out as Luke struggles with his need for a woman whose entire life has been spent in the public eye.
MISADVENTURES OF A CITY GIRL is a quick read; an erotic romance based on sexual attraction, want and need. Opposites in every aspect of their lives, Madison and Luke’s physical relationship is all about the here and now. The character building is limited; the world building focuses on the woodlands of Northern California, and the back and forth relationship between our leading couple but saying that I struggled with some of the immaturity and actions of a man who has seen the worst and lived to tell about it, and of a woman who reacted without thinking about the consequences. There were also some discriminating reactions towards our leading couple that I felt needed some further explanation. While Madison begins living in the moment, Luke struggles with memories from the past. The premise and characters are interesting; the romance is erotic and intense.
Two words: Luke Dawson.
If the authors aren’t enough to make you want this book than he will be!!
This book switches between Luke and Madison’s POV which is a huge selling point for me, I love getting inside both characters heads. Their verbal sparring made me smile, Luke’s filthy mouth made me swoon. I just loved everything about this book.
Misadventures of a City Girl is emotional, funny, sweet, a little sad and overall a great read.
I adore both of these authors and getting them together in one story was ahhmazing.
