Kate and Price Lewis had the perfect marriage—love, fulfilling careers, and a great apartment in the city. But when Price’s work takes him overseas and his plane goes down, their happily-ever-after goes down with it. A year later, Kate is still trying to cope. She’s tied to her grief as tightly as she was bound to Price. When her sister-in-law coaxes her into an extended girls’ trip—three weeks … trip—three weeks on a remote island in the South Pacific—Kate agrees. At a villa as secluded as the island, they’re the only people in sight, until Kate sees a ghost walking toward them on the beach. Price is alive.
Their reunion is anything but picture perfect. Kate has been loyal to the husband she thought was dead, but she needs answers. What she gets instead is a cryptic proposal—go back home in three weeks, or disappear with Price…forever.
Emotions run high, passions burn bright, and Kate faces an impossible choice. Can Price win back his wife? Or will his secrets tear them apart?

Meredith Wild’s second installment in the Misadventures series has her teaming up with #1 New York Times, #1 USA Today and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Helen Hardt.
Misadventures of a Good Wife is a thrilling tale of the things we do for love. Told alternatively from both the hero and heroine’s POV, this is a story that starts and ends with happy ever after.
Kate and Price Lewis are the perfect couple. They have been together for years and are just as much in love as when they were younger, but their perfect lives end on the day Price’s plane crashes and he is declared dead.
Kate spends the next year in a fog just existing. She misses Price more with each day that passes. Giving in to her sister-in-law’s plan to help her live again, Kate agrees to a beach vacation on a small deserted island. Kate tries to fake the enthusiasm that her sister-in-law seems to be feeling, but she still feels the depressing loss of her husband. On the beach outside their rented vacation home, Kate sees a familiar silhouette walking towards her.
Price has stayed away for a year. When he shows up on the beach, he doesn’t answer any of her questions. Instead he gives her an ultimatum:
stay with him and disappear forever or go home after her vacation is over and never see him again. Which choice is the right one? Which will Kate choose?
Passion and Suspense. Love and Danger. Lust and Secrets. This book kept me guessing until the end. Price and Kate have the kind of love that people envy. The passion that remains between the two even after such a long separation is intense. The fact that their time apart made them stronger for themselves and each other allows them to be more, to do more to assure that their love is never put through that again. I was prepared for a sad love story, but what I got was an unbreakable love story. This one gets all the stars from me and then some!
If you want a book with a lot of sex scenes then Misadventures of a Good Wife by Meredith Wild and Helen Hardt, Misadventures book two, is your book. Kate is still lost in her grief of losing her husband when her sister-in-law takes her to an island somewhere in the Pacific. While exploring the beach she encounters Price, her husband, alive. Price, a stock broker, was checking out a company who’s stock value had him questioning things. On the way to a meeting with the company, instead of being left pilotless in the small aircraft, Price jumped onto the pilot as he deserted the plane and parachuted down. He continued the façade of being dead in order to stay alive, but he hated being separated from his wife. These two have a very, very strong love bond. Kate and Price return to NYC where bad guys are on their tail as is the FBI, as things wrap up and come to a head.
I enjoyed reading this book and but had trouble believing the story, there were lots of holes in the plot. There was definitely a lot of time in this story spent with Kate and Price 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.
Wonderful characters and story line . The story line could have been expended on, if you cut out the overload on sexual acts.
This book…talk about AH-MAZ-ING!!! How these two authors were able to give us a book that is packed with so much in a smaller package and not make it feel rushed is astounding. This book will have you in its clutches right from the beginning and won’t let you go until the very end. This book had heartbreak, shock, anger, relief, love, intrigue, mystery, suspense, action, and so much more. This book will keep you on your toes throughout the whole book. Just when you think you know what is going to happen BOOM it will surprise you once again.
I highly recommend this book. Meredith and Helen have such amazing talent by themselves and when you put them together who have something that is off the charts amazing!
3.75 stars–MISADVENTURES OF A GOOD WIFE by Meredith Wild and Helen Hardt is the second installment in the multi-authored, erotic, romance novella series. This is Kate and Price Lewis’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 perspectives (Kate and Price) MISADVENTURES OF A GOOD WIFE is second chance story line between married couple Kate and Price Lewis. One year earlier Kate’s life was destroyed with the news that her husband’s plane went done without any survivors. Fast forward to present day and our heroine discovers that not only is her husband alive but on the run for his life. What ensues is the rekindling relationship between Price and Kate, and the fall out when Price’s whereabouts have been discovered by the people trying to destroy his life.
MISADVENTURES OF A GOOD WIFE is a fast paced, erotically charged story of second chances. Kate lost the only man she would ever love but his ‘return from the dead’ comes with too man conditions and complications including the possibility of a life on the run. The rekindling relationship finds our couple in a constant state of arousal including the need to prove that their love have never wavered in spite of Price’s apparent betrayal. The $ex scenes are numerous, erotic and provocative. My only complaint is the use of a four-letter word that I hesitate to include in any romantic situation or story line. The premise is entertaining; the characters are colorful and determined; the romance is raw and edgy.
This second book in the Misadventures series started out with some steamy fun between Kate and Price and then, quickly got serious when Price’s plane goes down. It was shortly after that when my issues with the story began. The biggest one for me, and the one I couldn’t get past, was Kate’s reaction when she first sees Price again. I realize that this is fiction, but it still has to make sense or the story starts to lose the reader. I can understand tears of joy and even some hugs and kisses when Kate realizes that Price is alive, but hot and steamy sexy time before she has any answers was a bit much. In fact, every time this story started to have some tension and build-up on the suspense angle, there was another steamy scene. Don’t get me wrong, these two are seriously hot together and I have no problem with a sexy read, but it reached a point that it was one intimate scene after another with a little story thrown in. Sadly, that story could’ve been quite good on its own, but after page upon page of Kate pulling answers out of Price and then the back and forth about where they would go, it was hard to stay with it. The book does pick up in the last 25% or so, and there’s plenty of action there as the tale reaches its conclusion, but the suspense side of this book could’ve been so much more.
Kate has the life she has always dreamed of, the perfect job, a perfect apartment in an upscale neighborhood, and a gorgeous loving husband to go along with it… but that all changes in an instant. When the police come knocking on her door to tell her that her husband Price has just died in an tragic accident she is crushed, and her perfect little world comes crashing down around her. She becomes a shell of the woman she once was, neglecting her work, responsibilities at home, and even taking care of herself, so her sister-in-law steps in and offers to take her away from the miserable life she has been living. She books them a vacation at a secluded resort, and while Kate appreciates the gesture she isn’t so sure it will help her shake the misery she has been caring around for the last year… but that isn’t the only surprise her sister-in-law has for her. Michelle encourages Kate to check out the island and she soon discovers that it has more to offer than she originally thought…there standing before her the husband she has been mourning for the last year… and he is alive and well. She is beyond thrilled to be reunited with him, but then she learns that he has a tough choice for her to make, one that is sure to upend her life all over again!
This was quite the sexy little literary treat, from the moment it started it started off with a heated little bang, and just managed to get hotter with each page I swiped after that! I love second chance romance stories and I have to say this one definitely hit the spot, it was rich with intensity, passion, longing and it gave my heartstrings a nice little tug! If you like steamy romance with a touch of mystery, this is the perfect read for you!! Highly recommend this one, it’s sure to keep you entertained!!
