Time to call in the sexpert…Isla Scott seeks to enhance her sexual repertoire, and she’s using every available app to do so. But no matter what buttons she pushes, she isn’t having much luck during her frequent coffeehouse dating rendezvous. If she’s to eventually satisfy Mr. Right—and herself—in every way, she needs to gain some more experience. But so far she’s only encountered duds.Grayson … encountered duds.
Grayson Hawkins’s marriage fell apart when he caught his wife with his best friend. Emotionally bankrupt, he’s left her and his high-pressure job to start over in a new town. A clean slate for the artist. A new coffeehouse to patronize. A fresh page on which he can draw his illustrations.
Grayson and Isla form an unconventional pact where he agrees to be her sex guru to help her gain the experience she seeks in trade for permission for him to sketch her comical dates for his newspaper’s Instagram page. But such a pact doesn’t come without pitfalls, and Isla must make a decision. Does she apply her newfound knowledge on one of her dates, or will she realize her Sexpert was always the one?
Misadventures is a romantic series of spicy standalone novels, each written or co-written by some of the best names in romance. The stories are scandalous, refreshing, and, of course, incredibly sexy. They’re the perfect bedside read, a ‘quick blush’ for the reader who loves a page-turning romance.

Such a fun read! It was fresh, sexy, funny. I really enjoyed it.
DROP REALITY & ENJOY!
MISADVENTURES WITH A SEXPERT is the thirtieth book in the multi-author Misadventures series. Each is a stand-alone romance.
Grayson is people-watching at the cafe and observes three of Isla’s disaster-dates. When he makes a comment – because Monday morning quarterbacking is easy – she decides that he can be his sex guru and teach her what she needs to know. He is only a “sexpert” in the sense that all men think they know all there is to know (and most wouldn’t with a map and a flashlight). What he does have going for him is that he is kind to her, he’s hot, and he’s funny. Honestly, that’s a super-nova trifecta in dating!
So, what do I think? The plot is phoney-baloney and a bi-i-ig stretch of reality, but that isn’t what you pick up a Misadventure for, now is it? What you want is what you get: a hot fantasy with excellent writing and amazing imagination.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Grayson left his New York life for a quieter town and a quieter job. Being the odd man out in a marriage is not how he saw his life. Now all he wants is to draw and prove himself as an artist.
Isla is a family lawyer who is roped into a dating app by her younger sister and is batting 0 in the great date department. She wants the picket fence dream but fears her inexperience in the bedroom may keep her stuck where she is.
The unconventional bargain they strike introduces them to a sex life that neither knew they could enjoy so much. Nor did they realize how much they would just enjoy each other.
From a coffee shop pact to a misadventure of bedroom escapades that test each others boundaries, this story is a delightful lesson in looking at what is in front of you and realizing it’s worth.
Elizabeth and Hayley never let you down when it come to fun and funny sexy reads.
This is so my new favorite misadventure. This book is amazing.
So this was perfect story of Friends with Benefits. Isla and Grayson were made for each other. While wasn’t really looking for love or a relationship and walks-in Isla with her relationship problems. This was my second read from Elizabeth Hayley and let me tell you I wasn’t disappointed at all. I can’t wait to read more from them. Most definitely worth 5*****
Another really comical Misadventure from Elizabeth Hayley! They always do a great job giving us loveable characters, Isla and Grayson were no different! I love how their romance started, making the best out of a ridiculously awkward situation. Same place same time, Grayson finds himself drawn to Isla and her “dates” in more ways than one. Isla seems in luck when she notices the handsome stranger in the same coffee shop she is parading her online dates in trying to put on a happy face. Gray and Isla have an instant esay and flirtatious connection and when they mix easy banter with sex Isla thinks she has hit the jackpot. Gray can be her sex guru while she finds Mr. Right. Sex always complicates things and Isla finds herself trapped between the friend zone and secretly wishing Gray were the only man in her life. Gray has made it clear that he’s not emotionally available but can’t seem to get enough of you Isla. This was a quick read but as always a sexy ride with lots of laughs! It was a fantastic friends to lovers romance. Elizabeth Hayley keep it real and always have fun and sexy things up their sleeves. I do hope this isn’t their last Misadventure!!
Misadventures with a Sexpert was another great read by Elizabeth Haley. Isla is trying to enhance her sexual repertoire although she isnt having much luck. She is looking to gain more experience satisfying herself and Mr. Right. Grayson caught his wife with his best friend, which led to his marriage falling apart. He decides to leave her, his high pressure job, and start over in a new town. Grayson and Isla meet and form a very unconventional pact. He agrees to be her sexpert if he can sketch her comical dates for his newspapers instagram page. I really enjoyed reading Isla and Grayson’s story and cant wait to read more by Elizabeth Haley.
3.5 Stars
I had trouble getting into this book. It took me a few chapters to connect with the characters.
Isla has signed up for a dating app to keep her sister happy. But all she finds are the wrong kinds of guys.
Grayson has been trying to do more with his work. When he goes to a coffee shop he can’t help but draw a the bad dates this poor girl has attempted.
After talking after a bad date at the coffee shop, Isla propositions Grayson. The sparks fly. But Grayson is not looking for more and Isla is just looking for help.
I did enjoy the book but again had a hard time connecting with the characters.
Once again Elizabeth Hayley provide a story that is filled with fun, warmth, sex, humor and love… At times, I laughed out loud, and towards the end I was actually crying. Isla and Grayson’s meeting wasn’t something either of them expected to happen, but neither was the feelings that grew from attraction and friendship into love… through a chance meeting and some talk, they decided to use each other for sex… her to improve her knowledge and expertise and him, well, just to get lucky…. He was not looking for love and she was looking for something to help her when real love came along…neither dreaming they were the real deal for each other…. Great Read!

This is one series that brings the fun with the entertainment as readers enjoy the ups and downs of Grayson and Isla. Grayson is a photo journalist who left his previous job and moved when his life was uprooted by his cheating ex-wife. Now he wants nothing to do with relationships and the havoc they can bring. However, when he sees Isla in a coffee shop, he just cannot stop his attraction to her. Isla is a woman who grew up before her time as she had to take care of her younger sister after the death of their parents. Up until now, Isla has put her sister first and is just starting to come out of her shell to start dating again after some less than stellar experiences. Each week, Isla has a new prospective date that seems to go more wrong with each man that shows up. Eventually, Isla and Grayson come to an arrangement. Will they both realize what is staring them right in the face? This is another enjoyable addition to the Misadventures series. The chemistry between the characters will make you laugh and put a smile on your face with some steamy scenes included. I look forward to reading the next installment in this series. I volunteered to read a copy of this book.
I really enjoyed this read. Isla and Grayson agree to help each other out but what happens when feelings become involved? Some humor, wit and plenty of steam. This book is part of the the Misadventures series, but all books are standalone reads!

A hot, sexy, funny read!
It’s refreshing to come across a book that appeals to all my senses.
Thank you, Elizabeth Hayley, for writing such a book.
These ladies … man, I enjoy the heck out of their stories! I’ve only read their contributions to the Misadventures series but every single one has been on point for me! This book made me smile so damn hard you guys! It was truly brilliant fun! The story was super easy with delicious sexual shenanigans mixed with great banter. I just read it this afternoon in a few hours! I couldn’t stop!! Now there’s no more words! *cries*
MISADVENTURES WITH A SEXPERT by Elizabeth Hayley is another GREAT Misadventures book! I’m really in to these books. They are quick, sexy reads with great characters and original stories. I so enjoyed the banter between Isla and Grayson. Their chemistry was HOT! When I was preparing for this video I realized I highlighted more from Grayson’s perspective. That surprised me. I definitely recommend this book!
I really loved this misadventure! Elizabeth Hayley are still kind of new to me authors (this is a duo) but I loved their other misadventures books and this also hit the spot. It’s funny, sweet, sexy and the chemistry between Isla and Grayson grows the more time they spend together. Another great story for the misadventures series!
I am a big fan of all the Misadventure series! None of them have yet to disappoint me, and this one is no exception to that rule! This was a fun, sexy, summer read that I didn’t want to put down and I didn’t until the very end. After one divorce and a string of bad dates, can two people really be friends with benefits or will their hearts get too involved and in the end become something a little or a lot more! You have got to read this fun installment of the Misadventures series to find out!

Misadventures with a Sexpert begins with Grayson Hawkins at work having yet another unwanted conversation with his boss at the Daily Gazette. After leaving the meeting, in which he has been told he has to take over their social media accounts, he heads out and ends up at a local coffee shop, the Coffee Bean. He discovered the place when he’d moved out of the city several months ago after going through a divorce that left him hurt and angry. He has been trying to find his passion for drawing again, but not having much luck.
Isla Scott has promised her sister that she will go along with her plan to date more. Isla picked the Coffee Bean as the place to meet her prospective beaus. To say things didn’t go well was a bit of an understatement. For one reason or another, the ones coming in had been all wrong for her. Some of them hilariously wrong.
Grayson couldn’t help but notice Isla and wonder what she was up to. He found himself intrigued with Isla and her ‘experiment’. Once he figured out what she was actually doing, he made it his duty to be there every week when Isla was meeting up with her prospective dates. Eventually, Grayson approached Isla and told her she had made the right decision in letting her current prospect go. Isla had noticed Grayson before, but hadn’t given it much thought. Grayson then asked Isla if she’d like to join him. As she was about to decline the offer, she noticed his drawing of the prospect who had just left. After commenting on the drawing, she left.
The next week, Isla was at the Coffee Bean once again, waiting on the next one, only to be let down……again. Isla then approached Grayson and figured out that he had been sketching all of her encounters, which made her laugh. From there, the two of them form a friendship of sorts. However, once they start getting to know each other, Isla confesses that she’s not very experienced when it comes to men and makes an offer to Grayson: the two of them could be friends with benefits and he could teach her things about sex. Not that she was a virgin, but as stated before, she didn’t have much experience.
Grayson found himself stunned and excited at the same time. Isla had become his muse, of sorts, and he had found his passion for drawing again. So, why not? As the two of them get to know each other, two things are certain: their chemistry is off the charts and their friendship easy. However, when Isla finally meets a guy she’s interested in, why is Grayson at the forefront of her mind? And why does Grayson feel so confused about Isla finally meeting a good guy? After all, the both of them had been so sure of the ground rules they had put in place.
Misadventures with a Sexpert is a great addition to the Misadventures series. The characters are relatable and nicely written. The chemistry between Isla and Grayson is off the charts. I loved their interactions and found myself laughing out loud at times. If you’re a fan of the Misadventures series, and just romance in general, you’ll love the world Hayley has created in this installment. Well done, Elizabeth Hayley!
rayson and Isla are wonderful characters created by the ever talented Elizabeth Haley. The will keep you smiling with wit and you will get carried away with their story as these to meet in a coffee shop and begin a very unusual relationship. Not a book you would want to put down.
Omg! What a great book! I have yet to read a misadventures series book I didn’t like…. Isla and Grayson were such good characters…a must read!
This book pulled me in from page one and didn’t let go!! Absolutely hilarious in parts and kept me smiling throughout! In the story we meet Isla and Grayson. Poor Isla has agreed to let her sister Olivia try and hook her up with dates through a dating app feeling that her older sister should have some companionship of some kind in her life. Unfortunately things don’t go as Olivia hoped for her sister with the whole using a dating app. Grayson has recently moved to the area do to getting a divorce and working for a paper that he’s hoping to show off his artistic skills unfortunately that’s not happening yet but his boss tells him if he can turn around their social media and attract new followers he will let him incorporate his drawings in articles. So he has to figure out how to do what’s asked but comes up with nothing until he happens to notice Isla on a blind date and things spark bringing on ideas of what he could do to improve the followers for his work.

Overall it was a great story that pulls you in and you get lost it’s a wonderful escape and you root for Isla and Grayson. You turn the pages just to see what could happen for them and it’s over to soon but so worth it!! Highly recommend it’s a must read!!
