Savvy has had a world of disappointment I such a short time. Ready to drown away in her drink she meets Aiden. Hot sexy Aiden can this be true? A one night stand turns into an adventure Savvy will never forget. This was a good story that kept me wanting more.
Entertaining – Sexy – Funny!
Savannah is having one of those days – h e l l one of those lives when she really thinks about it – and she is not waiting around to see what happens next. With insanity imminent and no effs left to give she embarks on a journey that may just make her current predicament look like sunshine at the end of a rainbow.
Aiden is in a bit of a pickle himself but he has a plan and when his path crosses “Savy not so Savy” Savannah’s he finds himself questioning his past and his future.
This was one amusing scene after another I was either laughing or “OH No’ing” with just about every page turn – Oh and let us not forget the charisma between Savy and Aiden those two steamed up my kindle on a constant basis – The plot was easy to follow and packed with laughter and antics that guarantee to leave the reader with a smile and a whole lot of feel goods
I received a comp copy. This was my first time reading from this series but will definitely not be my last.
Savannah does not have good high school memories. Being a nerd, she was never part of the popular gang. The fact that she appeared at a party dressed as a chicken probably did nothing to improve her image. But nothing prepared her for the blow given by Mason Crenshaw, football star and professional idiot. Losing her virginity in a closet and being treated like nothing the next day only served her to learn how to stay away from that kind of man.
Five years later, and on the eve of her high school reunion, she can hardly wait to show everything she has achieved at the time. Savannah has the job of her dreams, a sculptural body built on a lot of diets and fitness and a personal trainer boyfriend. She finally has it all. And hopes to rub Mason’s face with her achievements. Or so she thought. Losing her job, finding out that her boyfriend is a lying cheater and filling herself with calories to face the pain were not in her plans. Not a certain tattooed handsome man who crosses her path.
Aiden needs a ride to Las Vegas. And the brunette drowning her sorrows in a glass of drink looks like the perfect bait. But behind all the chaos she exhales, there’s a funny, smart, and incredibly sexy woman. Too bad she can not see it.
Savannah needs a company for the reunion. Aiden needs a lift. And between conversations, flirtations and lots of drinking, the two will embark on a journey that neither of them expected. And in that part began my problems with the book.
I understand that it is a fantasy, that they are fictional characters, but a woman alone give a ride to an unknown man was only one of the first problems. Every part of “love at first sight” in just two days was hard to accept. Just like the fact that Aiden tells what he is hiding and she accepts without any problem. It was obvious that he was hiding some secret, but continuing to have sex in a motel room with a guy who just said he is an ex-convict was the icing on the cake. Just like filming several sex tapes.
The book is funny, the two characters have an absurd chemistry (if you disconnect from the facts I mentioned above), Aiden really sees Savannah and tries to show her that she has value. He did wrong things in the past, has not had an easy life, paid for his mistakes and is now trying to live right, without problems.
Savannah has no luck with men, and this reflects on her self-esteem. These two days are her chance to enjoy, relax and be different. The whole plot involving Aiden was a bit much. And to believe that they managed to bypass the security of the casino and making a lot of money was difficult. But the worst was her father, a respected professor helping out in the scheme.
Overall, this is not a bad book. It is a light, unpretentious diversion, where one must embark on reading and not contest the facts. I particularly did not like it very much. I liked the couple, the way they met, but I think the book could have taken another path.
5 STAR Review by Jodi for Ruby Red Romance Review
Lauren Rowe never fails to disappoint when she writes an amazing story. Misadventure on the Rebound is just that. I loved every second of this great book. Savvy was a great character.
Aiden and Savvy couldn’t be more opposite. But that doesn’t mean these two don’t have off the charts chemistry. I love Aiden’s backstory, but most of all I love the man he is because of it. Savvy is a math whiz wanting to show those that thought she couldn’t that she could. When these two meet…sparks fly.
I love everything Lauren Rowe writes. This story was no exception. I’m looking forward to more from the Misadventure books as well as more stories from Lauren Rowe.
Savannah Valentine is having a really bad day, walks into a shabby bar on her way to Las Vegas, meets a sexy stranger, Aiden, and begins the adventure of a lifetime. I just love Savvy and her positive outlook, and how she’s not afraid to take a chance on love or trust her instincts.
Her bad day was due to her losing her job and breaking up with her cheating boyfriend in a span of a few hours, and that she was not looking forward to going to her five year high school reunion all alone, especially since she had to face someone from her past who treated her very disrespectfully.
There are many side stories within this main story such as her relationship with her father, her classmates, Aiden’s relationship with his father, and criminal history. Savvy is super smart and I love how honest she is with Aiden right from the beginning. He, too, can’t seem to want to share his whole life’s story with her and they share a special bond from the moment they meet. He’s having a bad day too, and even though his brain is street smart telling him to not over share, he can’t help himself.
What I like most about this couple is how they stand by each other, confide in each other, support each other, and have each other’s backs the entire time. He realizes how special she is right from the beginning and defends her honor more than once. He also puts her happiness first and goes out of his way to mend her relationship with her father. The writing in this book is excellent and it’s obvious that the author spent a lot of time fact checking and researching computer science and the gaming industry.
This book kept me engaged and routing for Aiden and Savvy the entire time. I love that he was a gifted musician who valued his family ties, how humble and appreciative he was, and especially how he wrote her a love song. This book had me sighing, laughing, crying, cringing, and fanning myself! I am a big fan of Lauren Rowe and recommend Misadventures on the Rebound!
Another wonderful Misadventure from Lauren Rowe! She knows just how to draw you in and make you a part of the characters lives. A great read that you won’t be able to put down! After her life goes to shambles, Savvy must bounce back and figure out how to still make a splash at her high school reunion. When she comes across a stranger and their chemistry is off the charts, sparks fly and neither of their lives will be the same.
Five rebounded stars! A magnetic swoon and enticing romance infused with hits of humour and steamy desire..
WOW! Lauren Rowe has done it again. She is one of few authors that never stop to amaze me. Her writing is like my own kind of drug. There is not surprise why she is on the top of my favourite writers. Each book of her is a unique masterpiece and this time she has done a magisterial job. Misadventures On The Rebound is a mind-blowing romance that unfolds temptingly like rose buds. There is hot-sizzling chemistry inside the pages of this book.
I felt fascinated, enchanted, enthralled and utterly and completely spellbound by this book. I devoured the whole book like a starved bookworm. The plot is original and the pace is fast. There is not doubt that this book is a fantastic addition to the Misadventures Series. Lauren Rowe penned a piece of smooth heaven. The twists and turns of the story make it an unexpected and all-consuming journey. I can’t stop smiling. I can’t stop sighing. I can’t stop swooning. I can’t stop feeling and loving Misadventures On The Rebound. I loved this book from the beginning to the end. Each page rendered me breathless, addicted and aching for more.
The story of Savvy and Aiden is a wild ride of unexpected events that drew them together. They have all the vibes for a dangerous combination. Savvy is beautiful and intelligent but her luck with the opposite sex is disastrous. She needs to feel loved like any woman in the world but men ruined that until Aiden. Her knight in shining armour. He is the ultimate reformed bad boy. Aiden is hot and sexy AF. He is torn between doing the right thing or not. Meeting Savvy will change him to his core. He will try to be a better man because he wants to deserve someone as good as Savvy. Will a nerdy hacker and a reformed and talented con man have a future?
What will you be able to save the one who you love? Will you give up love?
Electrifying, complex and blisteringly smart, Misadventures On The Rebound is utterly unforgettable…
And another amazing witty Lauren Rowe book! I love Lauren’s writing so much! Savvy and Aiden are hot! They have so much chemistry and just connect!
Savvy’s super smart, beautiful, witty and broken-hearted from a lose of her job and boyfriend cheating on her. Aiden is hot, has mystery but you can tell right from the start he’s so caring!
These two are fun, supportive, honest, sizzle and have you wanting more. I love how Lauren Rowe develops her character and stories! Both have pasts that make them question themselves but when both are honest- they just totally make you fall in love with them!
I loved how smart Savvy was and the details of how Lauren Rowe writes about cyber security and math just flow with the book! A must read and a page turner for me!!
When street smarts and book smarts mix, the result is beautiful. Aidan and Savvy came from very different backgrounds but came together to complete each other. Definitely some unexpected twists and turns in this one. Lauren Rowe has done it again.
Misadventures on the rebound is the newest installment to the series by one of my all time favorite authors, Lauren Rowe.
That woman has a peculiar writing style that will make you laugh out loud, or can make your heart break.
When I found out she was going to have Las Vegas as the backdrop of her newest book, I was so excited. Vegas is the place where everything can happen, and to have that setting to a Rebound story could only be fun, which it was.
This book is everything you expect from Lauren Rowe. Not only is the storyline sizzling and the characters are so funny that you can easily end up snorting. Overall this is a great escape to Vegas for a few hours which is why it gets 4 stars.
I had a smile on my face the entire time I was reading Misadventures On The Rebound, a standalone romantic comedy, that takes us for a fun-filled and fast paced escapade. There are a few somber moments that help add to the story and reinforced my love for both main characters. While it seemed odd these two would get together, the genius and the dropout, it soon became obvious they were meant to be, luckly for us. I know I’m going to love a book by the number of times I tell my friends how much I’m enjoying the book I’m currently reading and this was one I couldn’t shut up about. I really want everyone to enjoy it, there are so many amazing surprises, so I don’t want too much info because I hate spoilers!
“Better to expect nothing and get pleasantly surprised if things work out…or to expect nothing at all and not feel too devastated when everything goes to shit.”
Savannah “Savvy” Valentine is a genius, though not as smart as her father she’d argue. Despite her high IQ she’s pretty naïve about a lot of stuff, mostly men. Her track record leaves a lot to be desired. When she makes plans to attend her five year high school reunion in Las Vegas, where she grew up, it’s because her life looks pretty good. She lost weight working with a personal trainer, who is now her boyfriend. She has what she considers is her dream job, doing cyber security. She can safely attend the reunion and gloat, especially to the quarterback she stupidly gave her v-card to, that the math nerd is living her best life. Until it all goes to hell, in one horrible day! Now what to do? Well getting drunk, at a hole in the wall bar, on her way to Vegas for the reunion sounds like a good start. Maybe she needs to stop being such a good girl, it hasn’t quite worked out for her.
“Before you, I thought sleeping with a ‘bad boy’ meant sleeping with a guy who’d gotten an A minus in calculus.”
Aiden McAllister is the kind of man Savvy could only dream of; the handsome and tattooed musician is a walking wet dream. When he walks into the bar, after his motorcycle breaks down, they both feel it’s their lucky day. Aiden soon realizes she’s out of his league; he didn’t even graduate high school.
“You’re this…brainiac college graduate corporate American Girl Scout. And I’m…not a guy a girl like you would bring home to meet the parents.”
But there’s chemistry between them that’s hard to ignore. So they chose not to. Even though Aiden makes it clear this is only for one night. He can’t do more; his life is a mess and he doesn’t have anything to offer anyone.
“No matter what happens down there, chicken girl, I want you to know you’re the most incredible girl I’ve ever met in my life, and I’ll never, ever forget you.”
When Aiden confides in Savvy why he needs to go to Vegas, she invites him along for the ride. And what a ride it turns out to be! I love these two, and all the other secondary characters that appear lend so much to the story. Sadly, their adventure seemed like it was over way too soon!
“The two of us combined make the world’s most perfect brain, remember? A perfect team in a zombie apocalypse.”
Another amazing, enjoyable story from Lauren Rowe!!! I don’t even read the blurbs anymore, if Ms. Rowe’s name is on it, I just one-click that bad boy and start reading because I know I’m going to LOVE IT! Misadventures On The Rebound will have you swooning from the start. Savy is a smart, funny, quirky girl and easy to root for. Aiden is a sexy bad boy with a heart of gold and he’ll have you swooning from the start. Their characters are realistic and relatable and the chemistry between these two is off the charts. Ms. Rowes’s unique style of writing and the way she tells a story always takes me to a place I never want to leave. And nobody writes dialogue and witty banter like Lauren Rowe. Misadventures On The Rebound is a Hot, Sexy, Romantic, Funny story you cant help getting lost in. You will laugh and swoon and I promise you’ll love it and wont want to put it down.
A fun new Misadventure!
I was immediately pulled in to this sweet & fun story. Savvy and Aiden are two people who are down on their luck when they meet but the attraction between grows into some white hot chemistry as they try to find ways to help turn their luck around. These two characters were definitely made for each other.
This book made me swoon so hard. It had my heart beating with joy. Lauren Rowe has delivered another wonderful story with characters that feel real and relatable. This is filled with laughter, fun, adventure and Las Vegas shenanigans.
Savvy is smart, nerdy, witty, but unlucky when it comes men. They let her down in one way or another. Then she meets Aiden at a bar on her way to Las Vegas. He’s perfect to help Savvy to forget the awful day she had. Aiden is charismatic that he can charm the pants off any woman. Life has dealt him a bad hand and meets Savvy at a bad time. Can luck be on their side when they most need it?
Aiden and Savvy are opposites, but they have white-hot chemistry. Sparks start flying the moment they meet. I was rooting for them from the very beginning. They found in each other what they needed. I liked Savvy’s vulnerability. I think many readers could relate to her.But she also has this feisty, determined side. Aiden is an all around good guy. He’s sweet, respectful, caring… swoon worthy and definitely bookboyfriend material.
There’s a Misadventures on the Night Shift tie in and I absolutely loved. I think I sqeeled when I read it.
4.5 Lucky stars
I loved loved loved it!! One of my all time favorites!
First let me just say…
Savvy… so human! Her reaction to what happened with Derek was so genuine that it was totally believable. Finally, a woman that gets so hurt that she allows herself to be vulnerable and weak for a moment and decides to go for it like she just doesn’t care anymore no matter the cost. Don’t get me wrong, Savvy is an extremely smart & very strong woman, but even strong women have their breaking points, and thank God because if she hadn’t she may never have met Aiden.
Let’s talk about Aiden! OMG, I want one. Is he available for purchase? I guess that’s the $25,000.00 question isn’t it?
Aiden is one of the hottest, broke and loaded with baggage male characters I’ve ever fallen in love with! And a musician as well!
He has a heart as big as Las Vegas and he has mine too.
I’m not sure I’d ever be as brave as Savvy and Aiden but I’d like to think so.
This story blends two broken lives and weaves them together effortlessly to create a beautiful relationship, friendship and future! I highly recommend this book to anyone who’s in favor of true love & a happily ever after!
Thank you Lauren, once again you blow my mind!
I am truly enjoying the Misadventures series. They are each standalone stories that vary in genres. In Misadventures on the Rebound by Lauren Rowe we meet Savannah, Savvy, Valentine. She is currently a hot mess. In one day, she lost her job and her boyfriend. So why is she still on her way to her high school reunion? To show the guy that rejected her the hot and independent woman she is now.
Instead Savvy finds herself in a hole in the wall bar on the way to Vegas. In walks her rebound, sexy and hot Aiden. Things are finally looking up. Savvy and Aiden had so much chemistry. She was smart and caring and Aiden was sexy and intriguing. Misadventures on the Rebound by Lauren Rowe was funny, sexy and full of shenanigans.
Read and reviewed for Reviews From The Heart.
Happy reading!
As always with Lauren Rowe ,I loved this book.
Savvy “ who isn’t savvy “ is a great character with a lot of love to give when the right guy finally comes along.
Which is a wonderful thing for Aiden . A sweet guy that can loves the people in his life to the fullest
This book gave me all the feels, from sweet to funny to panty melting sexy and it just goes to show you that good things can come from bad situations.
When Savvy loses her job and finds her boyfriend cheating on her she finds a bar to drown her sorrows in, which is where she meets Aiden….and this is where the misadventures begin.
Wow! Lauren Rowe certainly knows how to create a memorable story, in Misadventures of the Rebound. It has so many twists and turns I never saw coming. For the first time in a long time, I was able to read a story and have no idea what was coming next.
The world Lauren created was packed with a bit of adventure, combustible chemistry and characters that burrowed their way into my heart and never let it go. I burned through the pages of this book and never wanted to see it end.
If you are a fan of Lauren’s work, you will be pleased to see some cross-connections to previous books written by her in the Misadventures Series. I know I certainly was. I would highly recommend reading this book.
Omg I loved Savvy and Aiden they are just so hot and adorable together. I liked the part where she wanted to help him get enough to help his dad and also get Betty back. And the reunion scene was really great. Rebound has.to be one of my favorite books this year that I’ve read and believe me I’ve read alot. Well done Lauren Rowe i can’t wait I read the next book by you.
