***3.5 STARS***
Exciting and sensual, Misadventures with a Speed Demon is an insta love, adrenaline fueled AND filled rush!
Brooks Carter is a wild card and so dang on cheeky! Not only is he known for dominating the circuit in racing, but he maneuvered his way right into my heart! This guy—this passionate, humble, at times boastful guy with the soft heart, and who came from nothing—this guy carried this entire book for me!
So why the 3.5 rating? Though I fell in insta lust with Brooks rather quickly, Faith Ridley was impetuous at times, always jumping to conclusions, and came off as more bullheaded than headstrong to me. Still, I was drawn to her independence and the feisty side of her that spoke so boldly.
This Misadventure novel was a great addition to an already provocative and alluring series. With each novel the Misadventure authors bring it, delivering fun and quick reads that are high on the romance!
**spoiler alert** Chelle Bliss has done a GOOD job with this book! I really enjoyed this book for the most part.
The story follows Brooks Carter and Faith Ridley. Brooks has had a horrible childhood and has now became a race car driver for Ridley Racing. Faith Ridley has grown up with a wonderful, loving, successful family who runs Ridley Racing. When Brooks Carter walks through the door for his first weekend race, Faith can not keep her hands or feelings to herself…same goes for brooks.
I really liked this book….who am I kidding, I like all the misadventures books. I personally thought Brooks, Faith and Roscoe’s characters worked well in this book and MOST of book flowed nicely. There was a few parts that I felt was kinda unnecessary or wasn’t explained well. (The part where Jane sets Brooks trailer on fire)(Anna May at the Cafe*yes that rhymed*)(Brooks’ fathers absence) Brooks and Faith also seemed a little rushed. They rushed into sex, rushed into engagement and rushed in to having children. I did not get much back story from some of the side characters: Jane, Anna May, Mr. & Mrs. Ridley, Etc.
However, I did buy the book and will definitely reread in the future!!! 🙂
When I heard about Misadventures with a speed demon was coming out by Chelle I couldn’t wait. This one is a bit different then what we are used to with Chelle. I have to admit I loved it just as much are her other books. I am a huge Chelle Bliss fan and I can’t get enough of her writing. I think this story was sweet Brooks and Faith’s story shows that anything is possible. It is a quick read and easy to follow. Their story has chemistry, is hot, sexy and romantic. Brooks is an up coming race car driver who is changing from the dirt field circuit. Can the new guy in town win Faith’s family over?
Misadventures with a Speed Demon by Chelle Bliss
This was an excellent fun read by Chelle Bliss. I can always count on her for an very enjoyable read. The lady is extremely talented at weaving a story!
OMG Brooks and Faith are HOT! Brooks is the young up and coming race car driver. Faith is the daughter of the team owner and sister of his biggest rival. She is off limits but can he stay away?
These 2 were so fun. I loved the hot shot racer who had to work for every chance he got. It was so easy to fall in love with Faith and Brooks. Chelle always writes hot, alpha men and Speed Demon didn’t disappoint. Great addition to the Misadventures collection.
I enjoyed reading this book and hope Chelle writes more about them !!!!!
What could be better than a book by Chelle Bliss and about a Speed Demon? A story that has the perfect couple and a mix of heat, sexiness, love and don’t forget some racing. It all comes together is this misadventure.
Brooks Carter has always wanted to be a race car driver since his first time going to the track with one of his mothers boyfriends. He was hooked and knew he wanted to get behind the wheel someday and feel the rumble all around him. When his dream comes true on the dirt tracks, it even gets better when one of stock cars leading team owners wants him to be a driver for him. Beau Ridley is the man every up and coming driver want to drive for. Ridley’s son Roscoe is the reining champion and the team origination it the best there is. Brooks has the female fans following him but when he sees Faith Ridley, he doesn’t notice anyone else.
Faith Ridley knows race car drivers all too well. Her brother is the champ and now she sees Brooks as just another “I’m better than anyone” driver but she can’t look away. He is so good looking and she seems to be drawn to him. She has to stay away from him because her Daddy will want better than a driver for his daughter.
Will Faith and Brooks be able to stay away from each other? Will Brooks give up driver for the best team he has ever known to be with Faith? Will her brother kill Brooks when he finds out? What will her Daddy say about them being together?
I love a story with racing and this one has it all. You have to love Brooks because of his past and Faith can’t help but fall head over heels for him. And you will too. So sit back and enjoy the ride because this Speed Demon will steal your heart.

5 Star review of a Misadventures of a Speed Demon by Chelle Bliss (Misadventures #15)
The Misadventures Series is written by so many different and wildly talented authors and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.
This book is Brooks Carter and Faith Ridley story and what a great read it was. It has it all sweet, sexy, romantic and altogether a story that hooked me from the start.
The was a fast quick paced read and well written. The chemistry between Brooks and Faith was scorching and as Faith is the sister of his rival, it just added to the tension. Can Brooks win the girl and at the same time earn the respect of her brother? Or are they doomed to crash and burn?
This was an insta-hot, insta-love story!! Brooks and Faith could not keep their hands off of each other, it was swoon worthy to read. The entire Ridley family was amazing, warm and welcoming (well except Roscoe at first, but every family has one) to the new recruit, who had no idea what family is. I adore that this story was not just about Brooks falling in love with Faith, but with her entire family. It’s a hot, heart warming read.
Quick, fun and sexy, with some drama thrown in!
Read: Sept 21, 2018
Misadventures with a Speed Demon by Chelle Bliss was the fifteenth book in the Misadventures series. The series was steamy novellas written by various best selling romance authors. They can each be read as a stand-alone.
Brooks Carter was the new kid on the block in the professional racing world. He was given a break by one of the best names in the industry, Ridley Racing. He had a tough childhood and has worked hard through the ranks to get this chance.
Faith Ridley was the daughter to Beau Ridley, an iconic retired racer who founded Ridley Racing. Faith never fell for drivers having been around them since birth with their playboy lifestyles and wandering hearts….until her father’s new driver.
Although they wouldn’t admit it, Brooks and Faith fell instantly. In fact, the entire book took place over a few weeks. The (secret) relationship was the main storyline with racing as the back story. True to a novella, there wasn’t much development or depth; however, it was well written and a quick and fun read. I’d love a story for Roscoe next.
I listened to the audio of this book, it was a nice listen. Chelle Bliss did not disappoint and the narrators did amazing with their outlook of the characters.
Love in the fast lane
Chelle hit it out of the park with this one. Sweet, sexy romance. Faith is the daughter of the Race Team owner. Brooks is the kid with a bad upbringing that hopes to race his way to fame. That is until lust and then love bites these two in the butt. Brooks will just have to prove he can race like the wind and love the boss’s daughter forever. HEA. Highly recommend.
Speed Demon Bliss! I can’t decide if this book was a quick read for me because it was only 211 pages or because I loved these characters so much I couldn’t put it down. I’m going to go with the latter!
Going into reading about a Speed Demon, I wasn’t sure what to expect. And that’s what I got… an unexpected journey. Where I thought the book was going, it would go another way. There was so much realistic expectations and happenings that I think that’s why I loved it so much. I had to put it down to sleep last night, but found myself constantly thinking about how Brooks and Faith were doing. There is no unnecessary drama and the majority of the characters are level headed.
Faith Ridley finds herself unexpectedly put into everything involving Brooks Carter. She falls hard and fast, but so does he. They journey through his new career together as well as overcome hurtles of the past creeping up on them.
Then that epilogue, gosh did that just make me giddy with happiness. I loved loved loved this book and I think if anyone needs a light, happy read, you should pick this racer of a book up!
Misadventures with a Speed Demon (Misadventures #13) was another great read by Chelle Bliss. Brooks is a wild and reckless young stock car driver on the professional circuit. Brooks could have his pick of any of his female fans but he only has eyes for Faith. Unfortunately for him, she is the sister of his biggest rival. She has grown up on the tracks and knows to stay away from the cocky drivers. Brooks wants to be the best driver but also wants to win Faith’s heart. I really enjoyed reading Brooks and Faith’s story and cant wait to read more by Chelle Bliss.
I instantly liked Bliss’s writing style. The characters were very vivid and completely entertaining. Drama jumped off right from the start and had me very eager to read more. I loved Brooks and Faith and their earth-shattering chemistry. This was a fantastic read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
So Brooks and Faith reminded of next door romantic couple. Also this was my first read from Chelle Bliss, and I wasn’t disappointed at all.
One of the things that I liked about Brooks was he lives his life on the edge and has no one to rely on, but at the same time Faith is surrounded by family who loves her dearly. So they were total opposites but were attracted towards each other from their first sight.
I would definitely recommend it and definitely worth 5 *****
Misadventures are marvelous
Another fantastic misadventure by the writers from Waterhouse Press!
This was once again a fabulous world with fantastic characters. Just enough realistic drama and a little crazy from the past to spice it up! I’ve been burning through these books and will be sad when I hit the end of the list.
Thank you for brightening my day and giving me a little fiction to keep my creative juices flowing!
If you are not a race car fan the opening may take some time for you. After the background story you get to the beautiful story of Brooks & Faith. Another great Misadventures book.
This is a flaming hot, quick read. The chemistry between Brooks and Faith was so genuine, that it really stole the show. These two couldn’t have come from more different backgrounds, but they each worked hard to achieve where they presently are in their lives.
This particular book was insta-love, with some of the hottest scenes in any misadventures book. I would have definitely enjoyed it even more if it was a full length novel.
My favorite part of this particular misadventures story was we got to see a lot of struggles Brooks had gone through when he was little in order to acquire everything he had as an adult. He was just genuinely a good person, and I loved that about him. Faith grew up surrounded by love, yet she still was independent in her career. It was an enticing storyline, with even hotter scenes. – By Victoria
