Hotel clerk Abby Medford has always enjoyed the quiet solitude of the night shift. The long, boring hours allow her time to study her law books. But when bad-boy-rocker Lucas Ford checks into the penthouse suite one night and demands Abby personally deliver his room service request, her formerly quiet nights are quickly filled with Lucas’s erotic games. But as Abby soon learns, if she thinks she … thinks she can indulge her innermost desires with Lucas without giving him her heart, she’s dead wrong.

Holy baby Jesus! I have too much to say about this book. It literally blew me away. Lauren Rowe has done an amazing job. 5 stars are not enough to rate this book! It is a super HOT & SEXY reading. Be prepared for an epic page- burning passion.
Misadventures of a Night Shift is fabulous; a masterpiece that should be enjoyed slowly. This is the kind of book that will melt your panties and will leave you wanting more. It’s brilliantly written. The plot is fantastic. I have a thing for rock stars romance and this book is a unicorn. It is unique, a piece of heaven in earth. Lauren Rowe is a great author that will NEVER disappoint her readers. This time is not the exception.
Let Lucas Ford seduce you with his beautiful songs. Let his words and feelings take you to the moon and back. He is going to be your next book boyfriend. He is every woman wet dream. Mr. Ford is a possessive and talented rock star that needs a muse to get rid of the record company that manages his career. He’s tired of singing the same song that launched him to fame. But where can he find a muse?
“Only you can free me, Angel”
Who will give him what he needs? Lucas is a clever man but Abby will turn his world upside down. She has been the only girl who stopped him. Her sassy mouth and clever mind will captive him. She is what he needs to be free. It doesn’t matter if his heart breaks. She is the answer to his prayers.
“It turns out you’re hiding a devil underneath your halo and wings. Best of both worlds .”
An unusual proposal will seal their future. The attraction between them will be pure dynamite. They won’t be able to keep their hands to each other.
“This one’s going to be a pretty love song for my pretty, perverted girl who looks like an angel and fucks like the devil.”
Abby will have to lead with the growing feelings in her heart. She has the opportunity to spend time with her teenage crush. The boy who seduce her with his beautiful voice. Who will refuse to spend time with a sexy rock star? (Not me).
“He’s not merely kissing me. He’s consuming me. And I’m absolutely enraptured.”
Lucas and Abby are like puzzle pieces. They have made mistakes in the past but their future is brightly coloured.
“Angel,” he whispers. “Assassin. Ass-kicker. Whoever you are, you’re conquering me . You know that? You’re conquering me, baby.”
This book has steamy sex scenes that will make you blush like a virgin. You can feel the passion and trust between the characters. Lauren Rowe has a magic touch for these scenes because they could be dirty and sweet at the same time; a delicious mix of temptation and raw sex.
“I’m going to give you the night of your life, Angel,” he whispers, his voice husky. “To thank you for giving me the best songs of mine.”
I urge to read this book. You won’t be disappointed. A rockstar plus a law student is equal to a messy and raw romance.
(ARC courtesy of author in exchange for an honest review)
I have four words to describe this fantastic book –
Sizzling…Addictive…Secretive…Sexcapades!
Yes sass is what made this book and Abby’s character. Sass from our sweet, innocent, girl scout looking Abby is what caught Lucas off guard. Sass is what unleashed Lucas’ song writing mojo once and for all. It’s all about the sass.
Oh yes this BOOK is the perfect teenage rock star fantasy BROUGHT TO LIFE! Yet it’s still so much more. Full of surprises and completely unique. As always Lauren gives us incredible writing plus hilarious, smart, witty banter. Characters that have so many facets – captivating, engaging and completely relatable and real. Lauren is absolutely brilliant and insanely creative
Abby and Lucas’ story doesn’t stop at delivering one heck of a steamy fling. Their journey is comprised of passion, heartbreak, self discovery, healing and ultimately leads to one of the best written endings of all time. Absolutely brilliant! Gave me some good role playing ideas to boot!
There are so many quotable lines. Gah! I made good use of bookmarks I tell you. I flipped through and re-read my favorites over and over because they’re funny, shocking or sexy. So I am exercising great restraint by keeping these gems to myself. I pride myself on never writing spoilers and refuse to start now. They make me hostile. You can’t re-read these utterly amazing lines like the 1st time in the context of the story. So I just hope everyone grabs this book to find out for themselves what I’m talking about because it is perfection.
Thank you Lauren for another fabulous read. As always you go above and beyond delivering a truly entertaining story that is always impeccably written and unfolds spectacularly! I loved every word!
4.5 Star review of Misadventures on the Night Shift (Misadventures #6) by Lauren Rowe
Another fabulous addition to a series I am fast becoming addicted to. The variety of authors who are writing this series is amazing. Lauren Rowe is a new author to me and I have no idea why.
This was a fun, quick, funny read and not to mention smoking hot. Abby Medford works the night shift which suits her down to the ground. Her life becomes complicated when rocker and bad boy Lucas Ford checks in. Not only is he devastatingly hot but he is insistent that Abby deliver his room service request.
Will Abby and Lucas play out their fantasies without either of them getting hurt? Will Abby be able to stand the heat, or will she decide to run for the hills? Dare she risk becoming involved and the potential for Lucas to break her heart?
Lucas and Abby simply put, rock together (pun intended). I thoroughly enjoyed this book and felt it was a great addition to the series.
“That song is the soundtrack to your fans’ lives. They’ve lost their virginity to it. Cried to it. Grieved to it. You’ve eased their pain by sharing yours.” I shrug. “So I think you should decide to stop feeling like the song is trapping you and realize it’s a gift. Embrace it. If you feel like you’ve outgrown playing the song, as is, then, okay, you’re a musical genius–reinvent it when you play it live. But most of all, be grateful for the gift of so many people loving and feeling moved by your creation. The way I see it, it’s the least you can do for getting to do what you love for a living. So few people on this earth get to do that.”
Not going to lie, this was a rough start for me. Abby and her friend Danica start us off with some witty banter while they’re working the night shift at a hotel. There’s a lot hidden in the depths of Abby, but at first, I’m not sure she’s quite as deep as she alludes to. The first few chapters, for me, were a little … predictable.
I found myself getting into the story when Abby tears into Lucas. He’s … well, he’s an ass. I know he’s a famous rock star, and blah blah blah, but he is totally entitled. I loved that, even though Abby was feeling totally starstruck, his awful behavior snapped her out of it and she let it rip on him! It was at this moment I began to see a much brighter future for this story.
I will say that the characters really seemed to develop quickly from here. I finally got to see the story develop in a way I wasn’t expecting. And what came next I DEFINITELY was NOT expecting!
Overall, this story definitely had an ending I was not expecting and gave me some unique characters. I would’ve loved this story if it had been just a little longer, perhaps extending various parts of the story, but overall it was a pretty good read. Definitely has a couple scenes that I wasn’t exactly into, but worked with the context of the story.
Wow! This was a fun, steamy, charming and humorous adventure. With spot on romance!
I totally loved the characters, loved their charming tale, and loved how the ending was just absolutely perfect.
Very kinky. This girl is living a life of penance because her parents and therapist have convinced her she’s sick, that she’s ruined people’s lives. He owes his life to the devil, or at least his next album. Together they have a wild week of role play and end up saving each other’s lives. A very enjoyable read.
Oh my naughtiness!! This book was hot and sexy!! Lauren sure didn’t hold back with this one. To me, the plot was a little over the top but it was still super flirty and fun!!
Abby was used to using the quietness of her job as a nighttime hotel clerk to get her studying done. She was in for a huge change when Lucas came to stay. He was used to getting his way and he wanted Abby in several ways.
Would their arrangement allow them to walk away as planned or would hearts get involved?
I loved that even though it was fast paced, their relationship seemed real. Abby and Lucas shared a bond that was on fire!! Great job Lauren!!
HOT HOT HOT
The Blurb on the back doesn’t even touch what is in this book. This book was in NO way plain Jane boring. I’m sorry but this book was full blown smut lol. Lauren Rowe has a very vivid and powerful imagination when it comes to putting words on paper.
Misadventures on the Night Shift was another great read by Lauren Rowe. Abby is a hotel clerk who enjoys the night shift. She is able to work her long boring hours and do some studying for law school. A rocker who she has always had a thing for checked into the penthouse suite and demands that she personally deliver the things he requests to the penthouse. They were just fooling around to help him write songs, but neither one thought that they would fall for eachother. I loved reading their story and can’t wait to read more by Lauren Rowe.
Lucas and Abby were hilarious and perfect for each other. There were some very hot scenes and than there were sweet romantic scenes too, all in all I wasn’t disappointed at all. I really loved them . Definitely worth 5*****
Love this book. Easy steamy read. And finally one where the girl is messed up to!
This has been the best Misadventure book yet! So steamy it melted my Kindle…. ok, ok not literally but it came close.
Lauren had me on the edge of my seat from the moment she introduced Luke until the last page. Don’t underestimate this misadventure… you’d never forgive yourself if you did!
{From A..to Me!}
**World famous musician Lucas Ford has had a mental breakdown at one of his concerts in Denver. He gets checked in to a penthouse suite at a hotel where Abby Medford is the night shift desk clerk. When Lucas uncovers Abby’s kinky background and decides he wants to leave his past in the past, things start heating up in Penthouse A!**
I was absolutely invested in this book….so much so that my husband was so tired of me reading it! (We would be in bed and right it the middle of me reading this book, I would yell, “AWWWW”!!! It would piss him off because every time I done it, it scared him!)
This book had twist and turns everywhere. I loved every minute of it. This book was also filled with some great sexxiii time shenanigans!! (Come on, who doesn’t love sexxiii time shenanigans in books?) Before this book, I had not read any books by Lauren Rowe…yeah, sad, I know. This is the book that will have me hooked on Lauren’s work. I love the characters in the story. I love how they eventually stop lying to themselves and to each other and actually truly find themselves and who they are suppose to be. Lucas and Abby look, sound and feel great together.
Great job on capturing my heart, Lauren! I cant wait to read more of your misadventures books! 🙂
*3,5 stars*
For starters I have to say I actually did enjoy this story but just not totally fell in love with it though. I did like the chemistry Abby and Lucas had and some scenes in the book were very hot to say the least 😉
Lucas is a hot brooding rockstar that is having no inspiration for a new album and when a video goes spiralling out of control, he’s hiding out in a hotel room. There he meets the young sexy hotel clerk Abby and there’s something that passes between them that’ll get him his muse back. But the more time passes, the more there’s something deeper between them than meets the eye and who knows, maybe they’ll find something else they’ve been looking for after all…
Wow!! Another fabulous read by Lauren Rowe – this blew me away on so many levels, once I started it I couldn’t put it down, I devoured it in one sitting and loved every minute of it!!
Lucas Ford is the hot and sexy Rockstar who’s taken to a hotel under management orders to write another hit album, but he just has not inspiration or feelings to write a hit song. That is until Abby, the clerk behind the desk at the hotel, chews his ass for smoking in the lobby and stirs some feelings he had long forgotten. Abby has had many of her ‘firsts’ to the music of Lucas Ford who she has hero worshiped since being a teenager, she can’t believe he’s in her hotel, and just how selfish he is!! She gives him a piece of her mind and sets about a chain of events that lead to some hot and dirty games, but can real feelings be left out of this??
This has got to me one of the most erotic, hot and dirty books I’ve read – a little cooling off time was required lol. The writing is super descriptive and very real, you could almost be in the room with them. Sex is a raw and dirty process, and this is exactly how its told – brilliantly done.
The interaction and emotion involved between Lucas and Abby was deeply touching and very raw, coupled with their sass and banter and they make the perfect couple!!
Rockstar romances are not really my thing, but the way this one has been written with that storyline and those characters really did things for me!! Who wouldn’t love a rockstar like Lucas, just yum!! Abby with her no-nonsense working girl appearance but underneath she is a dirty little girl, she was just fantastic and I loved her character.
You won’t be disappointed with this, its a great little read, fun and sexy with a great ending. 5 fabulous kick ass stars.
I loved the couple in this book! I had some issues not cringing with some words, but hot damn that Abby was a firecracker and I enjoyed her attitude. It’s been some time since I’ve loved the heroine aa much as the hero. Love, love, love it!
#classysmut people … just how i like it … this is perfection! Perfection because it delivered a scorching hot read that didn’t make my eyes roll LOL It’s a smut read for sure, but with emotion and heart!
I just can’t stop the smile that forms on my face every time one of these books comes up for review! This series has really delivered excellent short(ish) stories every single time. It is really difficult to write short/novella stories that isn’t rushed into a happy ending. These authors have all delivered nicely! I am having the greatest time with this series!
Lauren Rowe is a new to me author but I can already tell from her back-list that there are quite a few books I’ll be reading by her. If this story is any indication, I can’t imagine how well she does with a full-length novel! I CANNOT WAIT!
Well, I wasn’t a big fan of the beginning of this book, it was just a little weird for me I think. This is such a hard book to describe for me. because if you take the book as a whole I liked it not loved it but liked it. But there were so many little details that annoyed me that if I think about them I am not that happy about the book.
Lucas was a jerk from the beginning of the book, he was a typical rockstar that thought he deserved everything. But pretty quickly you find out there is much more to him than that. He was being cornered and felt like his life wasn’t his that much more. He needed to feel alive. I loved that throughout the book you could feel him come alive, feel his joy for music again. But in the end, I kinda wanted to go in and smack him a little in hope of him waking up and just take what he wanted, but you will get why when you read the book hehe…
Abby, on the other hand, annoyed me a lot. She just felt so untrue to herself. And at the end of the book, she was like magical just who she wanted to be and all doubt was gone just like that.
But I liked the what the author wanted with this book, the plot was good and if just there weren’t those little details and if I had liked Abby more I would have given it 4 stars but it just needs a little more for me.
I’m excited I received this book in my monthly book worm box subscription as one of the books. I have heard only good things about this series. All standalone romances that can be read in any order. This is book five. I knew immediately that I wanted to read it and I started it right after the unboxing. I finished the book in two days. It was a fast and easy read. I liked the fact that not everything is at it seems in this story. I really enjoyed the characters, very spunky and well rounded. There was more than meets the eye and it touches a subject that doesn’t normally get covered by the typical romance books. Two different worlds, two extremely different people. Abby and Lucas couldn’t be more different. Abby is trying to please her parents but has another side to her personality she doesn’t let anyone see. Lucas is a rock star that checks into the hotel while she is working the night shift. I love their relationship with each other. Lucas at the beginning is a spoiled rock star but grows in personality throughout the book. While Abby decides to be more open about who she is and what she wants. They both help each other become who they are supposed to be and it’s beautiful. Find out just how beautiful this story is by checking it out for yourself! One of my new favorites. I can’t wait to check out more from this series.
Wow just wow! Stunner of a book! When I heard Lauren Rowe was writing for the multi-author Misadventures series, I needed this book now! I am a tried and true fan of Lauren dating back to her phenomenal “The Club” series, and this book, Misadventures on the Night Shift, firmly earned it’s place on my “read before you die” shelf along with her other masterpieces!
Abby works at an upscale hotel on the night shift purely so she can go to law school during the day and study at night during the dead zone-where there is literally nothing going on. She’s wrapped up in a ball of debt and is trudging through school to a job with her dad’s firm which is destined to be sure misery. She has dreams of course,…. but dreams don’t pay the bills right.
One night rock star Lucas Ford walks into the hotel and Abby’s life as she knows it is going to change. He’s always been her teenage heartthrob and Abby has kept him up on this pedestal that no one can touch. But when an altercation with him threatens her idyllic and transcendent thoughts about Lucas Ford, Abby has to reevaluate her take on him and even her life itself. He had always been such an important part of her life, and how can she just throw away all that she thought she knew about him?
Lucas is delicious and he knows it! Cocky rock star, gorgeous, can have any woman… you know the type. He is taken aback after an altercation with Abby. Does she know who she is talking to?? He’s Lucas F*cking Ford!! Abby takes him down a few notches and he is enthralled! She’s evoked emotions he hasn’t felt in years! He is there to write songs and after all the writers block he’s had, he’s surprised Abby’s given him a way for the words to flow. He needs more of this muse!! They enter into an agreement and it’s hot, and spicy, and sweet, and oh so special. Pure yumminess!!
I totally fell for Lucas and Abby and their unconventional romance! This is one of those totally unexpected and totally believable scenarios that happens so innocently. What develops is such a deep rooted quest for life, and love, and happiness with all that you are! Lauren has such a gift of weaving these characters into you heart that you literally feel their happiness and their sorrows. When an author moves you to laugh, or smile, or cry, it’s a true testament to their writing ability and Lauren has that special gift!
Please go ahead and give this book a read! Once you do, you will see how Lauren wraps you up, holds your hand, and doesn’t let you go! It may be a rocky ride, but it’s oh so worth it! Then you will want to dive into her other works and I wholeheartedly recommend starting with The Club series! Maybe even grab the audiobook as Lauren narrates in them too and she is an infectious one to listen to!
