MISADVENTURES ARE STANDALONE ROMANCES THAT CAN BE READ IN ANY ORDERZandy Lynch never planned on going to grad school a virgin. So when her professor father finds her a job abroad as a research assistant the summer before she starts her master’s program, she sees her chance. She’s got one night in London to lose her V-card to a Mr. Darcy lookalike before she has to join some ancient professor in … has to join some ancient professor in the country.
Oliver Graeme is not looking forward to having some American co-ed hovering around while he’s trying to work, but he owes her father the favor, and besides, his office is an untidy mess of uncatalogued research. He needs the help. Still, he decides to take the edge off his frustration while visiting a colleague in London, and winds up having the sexiest, sweetest night of his life with a stranger, who vanishes in the morning without a trace…
To Zandy’s shock when she arrives at Professor Graeme’s house a day later, the door isn’t opened by a fussy old scholar, but by the wild, passionate man she met in London. Cold and reserved by day, Oliver is ferociously greedy with her at night, and it’s not long before Zandy finds herself falling for both versions of him―the aloof professor and the generous, rough lover. The trouble is that summer only lasts so long, and Zandy already has a plane ticket waiting to take her home…

I’m a huge fan of this author so I was ecstatic when I heard about this book. And she didn’t disappoint. I was hooked from the very first page. It was fun, sweet and so very very steamy.
This was a fun and steamy read. Zandy (Amanda) is still a virgin and she would like to lose that title before going to graduate school. She is in London for one night before she goes into the suburbs (small town) for her summer internship. She figures this was the best opportunity to lose her title but things aren’t working out in her favor. She is soaking wet from the rain and is lost trying to find the bar that she wants to go to. Enter Oliver Graeme who runs into Zandy and when he finds out that she’s trying to find a one night stand, he takes charge and decides to escort her back to her hotel since she’s a single American woman. Well things start to heat up on the way back to the hotel and by the next morning Zandy has accomplished her mission!
When Zandy goes to her internship with a professor at his home, she thought the professor would be someone older like her father. When she finds out who the professor is, they both have the shock of their lives – it is Oliver! As they work together, the attraction is there but Oliver is very resistant since he has had his heart broken. But Oliver finally gives in so they pursue their physical attraction and their fun role play of student/teacher. Zandy loves being together with Oliver and enjoys the time that they spend together even though they both realize it is a temporary thing. However, fate has other plans for them and they both must decide what they want from each other. Oliver must also let go of his past so that he can move on with Zandy and realize that what they both enjoy is what they both want!
This was such a great read. I love Zandy’s outlook on life and is honest and ready to pursue what she wants. Oliver is really a wonderful guy and just needs someone to make him see the world in a different view.
This is the first “Misadventures” book I’ve read. I picked it specifically because Sierra Simone wrote it. I love her writing and expected I would enjoy this book. I was right! This is a fun, sweet, saucy, sexy love story about a young, virginal woman and the 10-years-older Professor she meets accidentally one night. This story enticed me from the beginning. The main characters, Zandy and Oliver, were charming and entertaining. Their relationship captivated my imagination and I could not turn the pages fast enough to find out what would happen next. In my opinion, nobody writes a sex scene quite like Sierra Simone — hot, steamy, realistic — she captures the intimate moments with perfection. This book was a joy to read. It left me smiling and happy. Don’t miss it!
Sierra never disappoints. Her books are always good, the characters always relatable and the stories are always engrossing (and freaking hot)… and this one is no different. That she can do all this and fit it into a novella is amazing.
Misadventures with a Professor is the perfect short book – although I will always wish there was more- even with this book. Not because it wasn’t complete, which it definitely was, but because I love the characters and the story so much.
Misadventures deals with Zandy and Oliver. Zandy is American who is visiting the UK to help what she thinks is a crusty old professor with research- organizing books (DREAM JOB). She is fairly sheltered as she grew up with her dad and in the company of his colleagues. So when she lucks out with a night to herself before she has to report for her internship- she decides to go on a mission to lose her virginity…
Enter Oliver. OMG their interaction when he finds out what her mission is. DYING. Oliver is the stereotypical grumpy perfect British professor. These two. OMG. They just combust with all the hotness. Basically I want her job lol. Sierra Simone knocks it out of the park with another awesome story.
Professor/student is my favorite trope and Sierra Simone is one of my favorite authors. The combination is a steamy winning treat. I loved this angsty romance with it’s touch of deviance.
Amanda ‘Zandy’ Lynch has a plan to lose her virginity before starting her summer as a research assistant. She has one night in London to find the right man for the job.
Oliver Markham Graeme is a self-proclaimed cold and reserved recluse. Who is currently on a sabbatical because of a past relationship that warped his sense of worth. The last thing Oliver wanted was an assistant however he felt a collegian obligation.
What he hadn’t counted on was that his new assistant Zandy is Amanda. The same Amanda who sparked his libido while he was visiting London. The same Amanda who left him a good-bye note the morning after. The same Amanda who turned his world upside down.
Misadventures with a Professor turns up the heat with the right amount of angst to keep you wanting more. I loved it! 5 Stars.
I felt like I had been living under a rock when I realized this was the fifteenth book in this series but if Misadventures with a Professor is any indication I have some serious catching up to do! This beautifully written book had just the right amount of sweet and sizzling moments between Oliver and Zandy to keep me riveted from beginning to end. Though Zandy was sweet and innocent she was quite sassy and determined to get exactly what she wanted. Paired with the broody, dominant yet surprisingly sweet Oliver made for quite the steamy and captivating read. I loved how they both knew just what the other needed and how they were able to be their true selves with one another. If you love your reads a bit fast-paced, deliciously naughty yet sweet then Misadventures with a Professor is a definite must read.
4 Stars
Misadventures with a Professor is a steamy, sexy, fun and kinky read.
Oliver is a brooding, dominant, and sexy alpha.
Zandy is intelligent, sweet, eager, fierce, yet eager and willing to please.
The chemistry between this pair is palpable, their connection is not only passionate but very erotic.
It’s a well written, and completely engaging addition to the Misadventures series.
4.5 Scorching Hot Stars!!
Misadventures with a Professor is my very first in the scandalous and refreshing Misadventures Series, which I highly recommend!
The story is beautifully and skillfully well written, fast-paced, sexy, fun, kinky, exhilarating and intense. Oliver and Zandy’s chemistry was palpable and scorching hot from the moment they have what they believe is a one night stand!
This is a quick but fascinating read, about a forbidden romance, a kinky rough professor and a naughty assistant, who’s persistence may pay off at the end!
Another thing I love about this book, is how easily you get to connect to the characters! Regardless of the rudeness of one and the ability to put up from the other, you get to understand their reasoning and feel what they’re feeling!!
Ok, so, when I first started reading this book, I was afraid it was going to be a much older man with his teeny bopper student. I was pleasantly surprised when, not only was she 22, she was less than ten years younger than him and was also not his student. This opened me up to being able to enjoy it much more. Very hot with a side of kink!
What do you get when you mix an aspiring librarian, a surly professor, and a whole lot of kink? An adorably fun & steamy hit!
Zandy never meant to still be a virgin at 22, so she does her research, makes a plan & sets out to rectify her situation before grad school. She has it all planned out – one night in London with a stranger she will never see again. What she doesn’t plan for is the man she chooses to be her boss for the summer.
Oliver isn’t looking for a relationship, or even a one night stand. But when a sexy American basically throws herself at him, his willpower runs out and he gives in to what might possibly be the sexiest night of his life. But even his wild night can’t temper his mood, and the dread of returning home to the student who will be his research assistant for the summer. But he’s in for the surprise of his life when he finds his one night stand waiting for him.
I adored these characters! Zandy’s awkwardness & desire to please is the perfect complement to his brooding, and demanding persona. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the kink level is off the charts. This was such a fun & easy read, and I really enjoyed it.
If you’re looking for a fun, forbidden romance, Misadventures With a Professor is your next guilty pleasure.
As the series’ title suggests all of the stories include a ‘mishap’ or an ‘unfortunate incident’ that helps shape and define the main characters involved, and in terms of calamity causing situations, there’s nothing riskier, nothing that could lead to misfortune like a forbidden romance – the secretiveness, the risks, the worry…all of it makes this kind of story exhilarating and intense, because at any moment, the couples’ relationship could be made public and then both of their lives would be irrevocably changed.
Zandy Lynch and Oliver Graeme’s initial meeting is one that these two will not soon forget, not just because of the hot and sweaty sex they experience only hours after meeting each other, but because what was supposed to be one-night becomes something altogether different when Zandy finds herself not only working as Professor Graeme’s research assistant but also as his star pupil between the sheets, and boy do these two respect the idea that practice makes perfect;)
I’m a huge fan of Sierra Simone’s storytelling and the ease in which the sexy and kinky scenes she crafts seamlessly become necessary facets of the characters’ burgeoning relationship because as Oliver helps Zandy awaken and explore her sensual and sexual self, she allows him to fuse the two sides of himself – the intellectual man and the kinky and generous lover, and it’s because they seem to understand what each other needs despite their age difference and their unique characteristics that makes them perfect for each other regardless of other people’s prejudicial thoughts, the authoritative position he has over her, and the fact that she has a plane ticket to head back home at the end of the summer.
Misadventures with a Professor is full of kinky goodness delivered in a fast-paced and entertaining story; Sierra Simone fans will adore this book because it showcases what readers have grown to love about her writing – a solid story line with sizzling and sensual sex scenes that illustrate what the characters come to mean to each other and why they can’t get enough of one another’s minds, bodies and hearts.
4.5 Poison Apples
I really enjoyed this book! It’s definitely hot, steamy, quick and the perfect amount of kink. Zandy and Oliver have dynamic chemistry and such different personalities that are super complimentary. They are each other’s missing puzzle pieces.
While this story has plenty of steam, I missed a little more connection; that what hooks me. I’m definitely going to read more Sierra Simone, since this was my first. Her writing style is awesome and I was hooked from the meet cute. Definitely check this book out!
This was a quick hot (very) kinky book. I have enjoyed some of the other Misadventure books so I read this one even though it is out of norm for me. Oliver and Zandy have an instant connection. What was supposed to be just one night surprises them both into becoming more. I would have liked to see the characters developed more than just with the kink. The story was however hot and kinky. This is the first book I have read by this author.
Sierra Simone never disappoints. She always brings the intensity, the sexy and the kinky! This complicated love story takes readers on a naughty adventure. I enjoyed it!
Zandy does not want to begin grad school as a Virgin. When her dad arranges a position abroad as a research assistant, she’s not overly thrilled to be be be working with a fussy old professor, but it seems like the perfect chance to lose her virginity. Before starting her position a night in London leads to a passionate one night stand.

He takes the edge off his frustration with one of the sexiest women he has ever seen, but she is gone the next morning. Zandy and Oliver are in for quite the surprise when she shows up for her research position and he opens the door! Sandy’s summer just took an unexpected and sexy turn. Oliver is cold and reserved during the day, but a passionate and greedy lover by night. As the summer marches along, she finds herself falling for both versions of Oliver. The only problem is that she has a plane ticket waiting and summer doesn’t last forever.
I loved this book so much. It’s my new favourite story in the Misadventures series. Simone always has a way with words and sexy male leads and this story highlights both of those things. Add in the teacher/student theme and I was practically floating as I read. Highly recommended!

Up All Night w/ Books Blog
A steamy fast-paced novella, Misadventures With A Professor is an inst-love between a professor and his assistant. Sierra Simone delivered a scorching hot romance.
Oliver and Zandy were only supposed to happen once, a chance encounter. They accidentally crossed paths and didn’t expect to see each other again but fate had a different plan.
When Oliver and Zandy find themselves working together, sparks start flying. They share an intense chemistry and find that they can’t keep their hands off each other. Despite how different their personalities are, they are absolutely perfect for each other. Their love is instant and delightfully sinful.
Beautifully written, scorching, sassy, and delightful, Sierra Simone delivered a page-turning novella. She upped the hotness with this book. It will have you blushing like a teenager. As someone who is not particularly a fan of cliches, this was just right.
Misadventures with a Professor by Sierra Simone is book 17 in the Misadventures world.
Meet Zandy Lynch, a 22 year old woman on her first trip overseas. She’s a research assistant for an english professor for the summer.
On her one night in London she meets a hot brit, Oliver Markham. They have a ons and that’s it, both think. But fate has other plans and surprise, surprise he’s Professor Greame.
Both start a working and a very personal relationship that leads to the inevitable.
Misadventures with a Professor is a scorching hot novella, extremely well written and told and I give 4,5 scorching stars. Fans herself.
5 STAR Review by Jodi for Ruby Red Romance Review
I loved every second of the sexy, hot, little book. Sierra Simone has the ability to write sexy books and this one is no exception to that. I love Sierra’s writing and she does an amazing job making me fall for her amazing characters. I feel head over heels for Zandy and Oliver.
Zandy has her life planned out. Letting her hair down for a night, she allows herself to do something she would never do, he has a wild night with an amazing stranger. Little does she know, but that stranger turns out to be her new boss, the professor she is scheduled to start working for, Oliver. This man is sexy, dominate, intimidating, and nothing like Zandy would normally want.
This story was real. I felt like I was there watching these two. I loved every second of this amazing story. Please check it out.

it was amazing
Someone hold me cause I am weak for Oliver!
Zandy just wanted to get rid of her virginity before she started grad school. She thought she’d find a nice man in London and then she can happily spend her summer as a research assistant for one of her father’s friends, Professor Markham.
What she got instead was a scowling Darcy lookalike who devoured her with a profound desperation. Oliver Grahame changed Zandy’s world that night and she can’t help but want a repeat no matter how impossible.
There is only one small problem.
Oliver Grahame and Professor Markham are the same person.
I am blown like I’m always blown away by Sierra Simone’s magnificence. She is a master crafter of stories and I just cannot get over how beautiful and poetic her stories are.
Believe me, this story is so amazingly different from any other book you’ve read.
Zandy has to be one of my top favourite heroines. She just has this vibe about her that you cannot help but love. She is a damn smart woman plus also one of the purest human beings ever?? I just wanna pet her and keep her safe from this world.
Oliver, my precious kinky baby. *broken sobs* How can someone be so sure and so scared of himself at the same time? My heart hurt for him and I wanted to do everything to make his life better. I’d fight battles for this man, that’s how much I love him.
This is an incredible story perfect woven with complex emotions, kinky persuasions and an epic love.
