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?

Mystery, romance, lots of steam
I received this book back when we were able to hold Rom-Com Conventions. This was my first assembly of like-minded people. I was so excited to see how many free books I came home with. This was a very steamy romance of a couple who were torn apart due to his surprising death. However, what we find out is that his death although planned by some unsavory people didn’t happen. When Price and his mourning wife Kate are reunited…well, to say sparks fly is an understatement. Now, we get to the unsavory bit…Price happened upon some interesting statistics and facts which led him to dig deeper, which also led to his “accident.”
Wow. If you like a mystery along with your romance, you will want to read this book. LOTS of steam. Remember they haven’t seen each other for a year and Kate thought he was dead. There are choices to be made. Can Kate see the danger or will she expect Price to come back to her life? What will Price do if she decides to go back to NYC and leave him? Are the unsavory people still out there, causing trouble for Kate and Price?
I love this collaborative series of books.
Loved this book have re-read it a couple times.
Misadventures of a Good Wife was a great read by Helen Hardt and Meredith Wild. Kate and Price had what seemed like the picture perfect marriage. Unfortunately Price goes overseas for work and his plane goes down, killing him. It has been a year since Price’s accident and Kate is still having a hard time finding a way to cope. Her sister-in-law gets her to go on a girls trip for three weeks on a remote island. She agrees and doesn’t believe her sights when Price comes walking towards her. Price gives Kate the ultimatum to spend the three weeks with him and either go home after, or disappear with him forever. Kate can’t make any decisions until Price tells her his secrets. I loved Price and Kate’s story and can’t wait to read more in the Misadventures series.
This was my second read from Meredith Wild and I wasn’t disappointed at all. Price and Kate were amazingly priceless. I loved how they were willing to do anything for each other and their love for each other knew no limits. Also Meredith kept us on the edge the whole time. I would definitely give it 5*****
I was a little afraid of this one. Marriage is sacred to me. I was afraid this was leading to the wife having a steamy affair, then she wouldn’t be a ‘good wife’ at all! But no, it’s not like that at all. This story is filled with love, passion, mystery, suspense, crime, and most of all loyalty. Read this! You will not regret it. Meredith Wild and Helen Hard never disappoint.
2 of my all time favorite authors collaborating on a book? Sign me up! Amazing. I loved it.
Okay, so there’s really not much I didn’t enjoy about this story. There’s actually not much I haven’t enjoyed about the series itself. I’m on book 5 right now!
This one took me a bit by surprise. Why? I’m not a suspense kinda girl. Normally, if the suspense overshadows the romance in the story, I start to stray and don’t finish. That wasn’t the case. Not only was the suspense captivating as heck, but the sexual chemistry between our leads was OFF THE CHARTS. I mean seriously delicious guys!
Let’s talk about the suspense part for a second … this is twisty and turny and all kinds of wavy LOL I honestly couldn’t wait to read the next page just to find out something new or what the next nooooooooo moment was going to be. And let me just be frank here … the sexual nature of this book is FAN.TASTIC! These two women can write good sex! #TRUTH
This was a great read. The twists and turns kept me entertained for the whole story. The opening pages grab you and keep your attention for the whole book and let you see what chemistry they have right away.
I really enjoyed this story. What I loved about it was the total devotion Kate and Price had for each. Their years together only intensified their love. Their attraction for each other just got stronger and their sex life is without a doubt H.O.T. In the face of danger, they were willing to put their life on the line for the other, without any hesitation. It was admirable and beautiful of both characters.
However, I didn’t ever think I would ever say this…but the amount of sex was a bit excessive. In my opinion, it overshadowed the story. It was written so well that I was able comprehend the connection and intimacy Price and Kate shared. It was very evident the love they had for each other was quite strong. But I found myself having to skip over those pages/scenes more and more as I read the story. I just wanted to get back to the mystery and suspense of everything going on and it felt like they had to have sex on nearly every page.
I am still rating this with 4 stars because I really loved the characters and the storyline kept me intrigued from start to finish. Kate and Price really deserved that happy ending and I wanted to see them get it.
Meredith & Helen = FUN & HOT!!!
If you are looking for a sexy, hot read this is the book for you! I loved this second chance romance with Price and Kate. They have the perfect marriage, until Price dies in a plane crash, or so she thought… Can they regain the passionate and loving marriage they once had? Grab your copy today and find out!
Very interesting plot. Kept me hoping for a good ending. What Kate and Price had to deal with is indescribable. Very much enjoyed this book.
Holy scorched sheets Batman, this loving couple was atomically sensual and I had to wonder what kind of vitamins they consumed to have such stamina. This installment of the Misadventures series was first an erotic romance with strong elements of suspense. Keep your fans on high and have plenty of your favorite libations within reach to stave off potential dehydration. The story was intriguing, maddeningly paced, and somewhat frustrating as the husband was not forthcoming with his secrets, although he kept promising to divulge them right after another intense session of knocking the boots. As irritating as it was to be kept on the hook, I couldn’t seem to put my Kindle down, nor could I catch my breath and my office seemed to feel unseasonably warm for some reason… 😉

STORY:
**hands raised** my inner book slut is a whore and I love a sex scene all day every day. *sighing* I think all my holes hurt for Kate. This story wasn’t bad, I like it. But I felt like the sex scenes were fillers, and it didn’t flow right to me sometimes.
It went a little like this.
Kate to Price: I want to know what’s going on.
Price to Kate: I can’t tell you.
Kate asking more questions.
Price has sex to distract Kate.
And repeat.
I think a book can have all the sex scenes it wants, but when the storyline for me isn’t holding its own, then even the sex becomes too much.
CHEMISTRY:
I think the sex didn’t balance out the storyline, but I’m no fool, it was still a turn on hahah.
SECONDARY CHARACTERS
Price’s sister seem a little Stedford wife-ish. She was also Kate’s best friend. They were around the same age, but she came off like a mother figure than best friend. She seems a little too animated for me, but still liked her.
Overall, likable story. But needed a stronger storyline for all those sex scenes as it came off repetitive at times. However, still kept my interest to finish the book.
***I don’t equate these stories to real life. It’s about personal taste and what you would or want to tolerate with the books you read. I know we all have different opinions and preferences with what we read and hope this review was helpful.
You discovered a company’s billion dollar secret that has put your life and your family’s in danger. You fake your death and go into hiding, only to resurface a year later. Meredith Wild and Helen Hardt tell a story of a couple , Kate and Price, that discovered a secret that lead Price into hiding and your faced with having to choose to stay hidden or chance it in the real world to exposes a company’s corrupt secret.
I love Meredith and Helen’s writing. I swear they should write action novels on the side. I never have anything bad to say when it comes to their books. Being that this was my first Misadventures book I was not disappointed!
This was sooo hard to finish. For someone who is hiding from kingpins to stay alive they made some stuuuuuuupid decisions.
They were all out in the open, IN THIER OLD NEIGHBORHOOD AND APARTMENT. Not thinking it was surveilled or bugged. Not vetting new people around them, it was too much and not enough all at once.
The intrigue was just too sloppy to be believed or enjoyed, this was like a workout that never ended.
Loved it! Two of my favorite authors and they did not disappoint. Great love story, Great plot!
I never thought I’d say this but this book had way too many sex scenes. There needed to be more conversations between Price and Kate. Maybe he was distracting her with all the “alone” time, avoiding drama. After a while I cringed when a new encounter would happened. It would’ve been a wonderful story if I could get past that. I did like that this is a married couple who love each other unconditionally.
Meredith & Helen make a great writing duo. They wrote a suspenseful and thrilling story full of steam and romance!
So excited to continue my journey through the misadventures!
AHHHHHHH!
This book follows the story or Kate & Price Lewis. Price has uncovered undocumented files on a business. When the company finds out the Price has been snooping, Price fakes his own death to save his life and also Kate’s Life. Kate soon realizes that Price is alive after she spend a year thinking he was dead. Things could turn ugly when the truth is revealed.
I was really hoping to like this book. I first read the synopsis and was not impressed but I figured I’d give it a try anyway. For me, it took forever to get to the story. The first half of the book was Kate begging Price to tell her why he faked his death & sex. I felt like Kate & Price could not have a decent and or serious conversation without being interrupted by their desires for each other. The book was rushed and it was very unrealistic. I wanted/needed more of the story. It ended horribly and wasn’t executed well. I am so disappointed that this book turned out the way it did. I know that both Helen and Meredith had/has better potential than this.
This was a good book. Its a mix of romance and suspense and so full of action it was hard to put down. Once you start it you won’t want to stop until you finish it. I recommend it if you’re in between series and looking for a fun, quick read.
