Working the night shift at a five-star hotel in downtown Los Angeles, I get my fair share of weirdos. But none of them prepared me for the night I met Bolt. He saved my life. Now, he’s my super hero—the hunk I’m yearning to thank in more creative ways than a damn kiss on the cheek. Too bad he’s actually Reece Richards, my full-on nerd of a real-life boss. He’s got some commitment issues thanks to … commitment issues thanks to his evil ex and global empire—and from having to save the city from a maniac out to destroy everything he loves.
But there’s something that just may interfere with all those plans. My heart.

This was quite an enjoyable read and my first “super hero” romance. It’s also the first time I’ve read anything from this author. It was witty, sexy and entertaining.
I enjoyed Emma and Reece and the intense chemistry they shared. Emma was a strong female intent on living life on her terms and outside the ‘norm’ expected from her family’s socialite expectations. She was well grounded and not swayed by the material things in life; which is what makes her connection with Reece so real. While everyone else is affected by his presence and money, she sees him as nothing but a very attractive man that affects her body in ways she craves…but it’s not just physical and since Reece relishes in the chance she’s given him to feel again after secluding himself for so long, he has the freedom to be himself without any judgement from her. And in this wonderful, shared connection – a great love grows.
Though the story was enjoyable, I would have liked more character development and a bit more closure for the characters and the story.
I was feeling like a trip down memory lane and an Angel Payne fix, and what better way than to read what started the whole Bolt saga — Misadventures with a Superhero. This book was my foot into the Bolt world, and it was a book that made me fall in love with all things superhero, I haven’t read anything quite like it before and taking a risk on this new genre was one I will never regret.
Reece aka Bolt is living the life as a playboy, living his life as one big party full of women, sex and drugs but fate struck and Reece found himself as a superhero, a protector. He didn’t choose to be a superhero, fate placed it in his hands.. more or less, anyway. He didn’t believe he was worthy of more than what he had, that his life was nothing but multiple women and sex and that he was being punished for his past sins when he thought he couldn’t fix his wrong past doings up until Emma came into his life.
And boy, their love story is INTENSE, it’s hot, it’s addictive and it’s deliciously dirty. It consumed me right from the start. The push and pull, the explosive fireworks between the two of them. Emma is a treat. She is sassy, she’s opinionated and she is feisty but once Reece Richards comes into her life and she becomes completely smitten, as does he with her. It’s such a delight to read and I was beyond excited that the author decided to continue this series.
Continue this amazing journey in the Bolt Saga by Angel Payne.
5 Stars!
I’m not usually a fan of superhero stories, but Angel Payne has made me a fan for life! I’m definitely going to be reading the entire Bolt series.
This was my first time reading this author and I will definitely be coming back for more.
The superhero parts are completely believable and not at all far-fetched and the love scenes are as steamy as can be!!

My Review:
I am not sure how to classify this book as it was an interesting hybrid of genres… it was full of clever humor and snark, loaded with erotic sensual scenes, and had a sweet love story as well as a cute fantasy/Sci-Fi superhero crime-fighter base. Taken in totality, it was an entertaining tale that had me alternating between smirking, sighing, gasping, and searching out cool beverages to rehydrate. Written from my favorite dual POV, the storyline was amusing, creative, steamy, and intriguing.
I enjoyed Ms. Payne’s humorous descriptions as well as the banter and wit in her characters’ inner musings, exchanges, and quips. I seldom dabble in the fantasy or Sci-Fi genres, but I enjoyed the refreshing change of pace as well as Ms. Payne’s creativity in the development of her plotline and characters, especially the main character of Reece. Reece had been a wealthy party boy/player and a paparazzi favorite who was known as “The Heir with the Hair” and “The Billionaire with the Bulge.” Snort. After being misled by one of his conquests, Reece found he had been turned into a research lab rat “of human DNA improvement through electronic enhancement.” Reece was no longer just hot stuff, he was supercharged hot stuff as he could shoot electrical currents from his fingers – how cool is that? He was circling the drain in misery though and taking chances without care until his attention landed on the captivating, clever, and feisty Emmalina, who jump-started his heart and got the juices flowing.
Do you love Angel Payne? Well I do and if you love her writing then you’ll just die over her imagination and creativity in this Misadventure! This opens us up to the Bolt world and we have the honor of meeting and becoming consumed by Reece and Emma and their lightning creating love story! This short story has literally everything! There’s intrigue and mystery, desire and an uncontrollable connection, steamy and fascinating love, and amazing characters! It’s paced well and there’s so much detail crammed into the electric story. If you’ve ever wanted to dip your feet into the Sci-fi romance world I cannot think of a better human being to introduce you than Angel Payne. Must read!!!!
This is the story or Emma and Reece. Reece runs a hotel and Emma works the night shift there. One night she meets Reece and instantly feels like there is electricity in the air around them. Reece feels the same way about Emma but is scared to hurt her. This is due to experiments that were done to him and he has had to keep secret. This is the story of how Emma and Reece work together to bring the Consortium down for what was done to him.
Okay, so this story-line is way outside my wheelhouse. My least favorite thing to read is paranormal and any sci-fy elements to a story I much more enjoy on screen but I wanted to read this entire series. I was intrigued from the moment it was announced and I knew there were going to be books that maybe were outside my comfort zone. But you know what, even tho this is something I just wouldn’t pick up on its own, I’m glad I stuck with it and read it! I enjoyed the heck out of the suspense element in the book but I enjoyed even more the journey of Emmalina and Reece!
For me, the book was unique and captivating, entertaining and very sexy.
This entire series so far has been a hit for me. I’ve enjoyed every book I’ve read and look forward to more in the future!
Misadventures of a Super Hero by Angel Payne
Angel Payne ALWAYS can be counted on to be a great storyteller. I really enjoyed this book. I liked this book from the first page. Reece Richards is a billionaire playboy who has been kidnapped and experimented on and changed. He decides to do something good and turns into a secret super hero. Emmalina Crist is a newly hired hotel employee that Reece owns. These two have chemistry, heat and such a great rapport with each other. I try not to give too much away during a review, but give this a chance you won’t regret it! I am looking forward to the story continuing.
Wow I really wasn’t expecting that but I really, really liked it. This book is a full turn on. Hot, fan yourself chemistry between Reece and Emma. They both feel an instant attraction and she wakes in him a desire to live and be good. To care about anyone other than himself. Both of them together is like a force field of energy waiting to explode. It will make you want to have an intimate encounter with a super hero too.
This book is amazing!! You can not put it down! It’s a great page turner. I’m so glad angel payne has made this into the bolt saga as one book is not enough
Loved this book!! Can’t wait to read Bolt, the 2nd book in the series about Reece and Emma.
With it’s quirky characters, sizzling chemistry, addictive story line, Misadventures with a Super Hero is nothing short of fantastic! Highly recommend this one, it’s certain to give you the feels and leave you blushing!!
Once again another Misadventures book that does not disappoint and leaves you wanting for more! Steamy and filled with action that makes you want to look for your own super hero to have! The Chemistry between Emmalina and Reece is undeniable from the moment the two characters met, You can’t help but to feel every emotion that the characters feel through the entire book!
Reece and Emma have sparks flying with their wildly sexy, funny and intriguing HEA! Emma job at the Brocade was one that she needed to prove to her family that she was more that just another pamper OC trust fund kid. She wants to make it on her own and working the night shift at this luxury hotel is going to be the way to do it! She never for a minute expected her life to turn into an amalgam of a Harlequin romance and a Marvel Comic – but all that changed when she locked eyes with her boss Reece Richards. Reece was a cavalier reckless playboy until one fateful night lead him astray. The circumstances would forever change him and now he sits and waits for his demise while occasionally making amends for his reckless past behavior. When Emma Crist walks into his life he knows it’s just one more glimpse of a life he cannot have and he really does try and stay away from her but the pull of her is just too strong to ignore. Reece will give anything to have Emma forever but he won’t risk her safety and the people that changed him are dangerous. Can this Superman have his cake and eat it too?
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book.
Omgggg… If your looking for a book to get your blood pumping, skin tingling then you have found it! Reece isn’t just a superhero on the streets 😉 amazing book by Angel Payne as always…
This is the fourth Misadventures book and it stands out as a bit unique in the series because of its science fiction-y premise. It’s like erotica/romance for nerds/geeks and I am so here for it! It was super fast paced (though at times a little too break neck speed for me) and there were so many words (you’ll get what I mean if you read it). I don’t feel like I got to know the characters as well as I wanted to, but I think this is going to be a series and I will be reading it. This was smart, sexy, and fun and I can’t wait for more!! 4 out of 5 wine glasses.
Well, this was a different spin on a super hero story! Talk about HOT!!!
I think it was good timing that I read this book right after catching up on all the Marvel movies over the past few weeks. But I never got to see any of those super heros quite like THIS!
What a fun and sexy read! I fell like even if you’re not into superheros you are still going to love this one. Their chemistry is scorching hot and the book was so well written and entertaining. Like the rest of this series, this is a must read!!!!
I will admit I was highly skeptical of mixing super hero’s with steamy romance but this one won me over from the first chapter! Great read!!! Highly recommend!
Wow that’s all I can say is just wow. This story is WOW worthy. Angel you rock can’t wait to read more. This has to be my favorite book that ive read this year Reece aka Bolt is electric lol
Not my cup of tea. Not into unrealistic stories. I like to read stories about plots that could actually happen…just my opinion.
