The Misadventures with a Time Traveler was not my typical read, it was my first time traveling book with that being said I was beyond impressed at how much I enjoyed it. Angel Payne is amazing writer and she did an extraordinary job on this storyline! I fall in love with the characters and couldn’t get enough of them! I found myself wanting more when it was over.
If your looking for suspense, mystery, romance and just the right amount of steamy goodness than this is the book for you! I guarantee if you pick up a copy you will not be disappointed!!
I can’t wait to see what Angel Payne cooks up next!!
I was given this ARC through the author for a fair and honest review
5 stars
Time Travel is a concept that many don’t believe in so why would the characters in this story be any different? Maximilian is a scrumptious man from the past. Alessandra is an up and coming fashion blogger. When their paths meet, everything is questioned. A yummy read for sure!
This book was EVERYTHING! Angel’s writing is phenomenal and will draw you in, making you a character in this exquisite story. You will travel from the 21st to the 18th Century, amongst Royalty. Max and Allie’s passion and chemistry are RED HOT! This book easily earns 5 Stars and delivers everything you could ever hope for in a steamy time travel romance!

This is one hell of a collection to the Misadventures series. Angel has knocked this out the ball park. This book draws you in from the start. Makes you feel as if you was actually there. The connection between Max and Allie is undeniable. This is by far a must read.
This was the first book by this author that I have read and I have to say that I was utterly captivated by this story….Max and Allie are amazing as characters and have lots of chemistry between them…great story and it will keep you wanting more
well now … color me surprised! 🙂
Okay, so here’s the thing. I don’t normally (almost never) read stories that have outside the realm of possibility elements to them. It’s just not my thing. But I’m on an Angel Payne high right now so I said *shrug* why not? And you know what …. LOVED.IT. Hence the above color me surprised statement. I mean I was sure I would at least not hate it, but I LOVED IT! It wasn’t just a well written story. It was a fun story and deliciously sexy story and just gah, I can’t with this woman right now! LOL
I’ve been a fan of the Misadventures stories from the start, not only because they’ve always been the perfect break in the day/life books, but also because they have introduced me to some very talented authors. THIS wonderful story along with many others have made me happy and put a huge grin on my face when I’m reading them.
As always, I look forward to many more Misadventures in the future and well done Angel Payne!!
Historically Heavenly…Angel Payne gives you another book you hope morphs into a Series on it’s own.
The story of Allie Fines who is obsessed with everything work and a man she a first thought was a birthday present from her friends Maximilian DeLeon, seems to capture her attention more than she would like.
Couldn’t put this book down until I was completely finished. Kudos for another addicting story line.
OH. MY. GOSH.
This book was AMAZING!!
Allie Fine isn’t thrilled about being kidnapped with her two besties. Nor is she happy that she’s whisked off to the French countryside. What’s so great about old castles and dead people? There’s the fashion, sure, for which she’s trying to make a name for herself out of with her fashion vlog. But what else?
Well…there’s wine. And there’s her sexy surprise of a hunk waiting for her in her room after a night of wine and laughter: Maximillian de Leon, the drop-dead gorgeous man with chestnut hair, golden eyes, and a body to die for. He’s amazing, and rocks Allie’s world in all the best ways. But when she wakes up the next morning to Max claiming he’s a prince from 1789?
Whoa. Back up.
Despite his ridiculous claims, she’s determined to have fun and impress her bosses with this amazing piece of man. He rocks historical clothing as well as- if not better than- a T-shirt and jeans, or grey sweatpants. Sure, he’s going on and on about a curse that needs to be broken by a vow of love in less than a month…but that’s no reason to worry.
Right?…
Oh my gosh. You guys.
This book is like “Beauty and the Beast” mixed with “The Time Traveler’s Wife.” I LOVE IT!! <3 <3 It's absolutely amazing! <3 YOU NEED TO READ IT!!
I fucking loved this book it was absolutely awesome! !
Five ‘miracle’ stars! This book is magnificent with capital letter M!
Oh mon Dieu ! C’est la première fois que je découvre la plume de Angel Payne et une chose est sûre, c’est que ce ne sera pas la dernière ! Misadventures with a Time Traveler est une histoire qui m’a envoûté dès les premiers mots jusqu’à la fin! Impossible de lâcher ma liseuse, j’en voulais toujours plus et plus.
This novel changes and breaks some codes that we usually find in some romances, so it’s a real delight! I loved and took great pleasure reading this book that made me vibrate to the rhythm of their story, it is a kind of book that you can read and reread again and again because it that good that you feel your heart trapped in the story, like a spell, it consumes you wholly leaving you aching and craving for more and more.
Angel Payne’s writing has captivated me like no other writer before. It is unique, poetic and brilliant. She makes her stories flow with rich passion and scorching hot love that if you are not careful, it will burn you to ashes. I was very intrigued when it was announced this title as a part of Misadventures Series. Nothing is more exciting than finding new authors through the series to which I’m highly addicted.
Misadventures with a Time Traveller is irresistible and unique read filled with intense characters and enough elements to make you blush like a teenage girl. It is dangerously addictive and so tempting. The storyline line is rich with so much detail, steamy as hell and dangerously and elegantly filthy. The plot unfolds pretty fast, sucking you into the fantasy world created by the author. It is a beautiful escape that will play with your imagination.
Alessandra and Maximilian story is a unique and refreshing fairy tale where the princess who has Charming Prince allergy is more interested in fashion while the prince is patiently waiting for her love. They are from two different periods of time but their souls recognise each other as soul mates. They hearts are entwined, beating as one. Although the differences, they belong together. They are destiny. They are meant to be. Inked on the pages of fate. Their connection is intense and filled with dangerous desires and raw emotions.
Allie a workaholic video blogger doesn’t believe in romance because she learnt it from her mother. She is quite cynical about love and happily ever after. A trip to Châteaux De Leon for celebrating her birthday with her friends will turn upside her world, it will change everything. Especially certain French garçon. She will lose herself in the carnal chemistry and spicy lust she will enjoy in Max’s arms. The man who seems to be made only for her.
Maximilian, oh sacrebleu! He is what wet dreams are made of. Elegant, poised, filthy sexy and did I mention he is French! Who hasn’t fantasized with a French lover? A man who can whisper filthy things in la langue de l’amour! So hot, isn’t it? He is definitely the epitome of a selfless, attentive alpha male! I swooned over how he took good care of Allie, how he protected and worshiped her. I felt the love he professed to her, sweet and consuming! Lucky her!
This misadventure is the perfect blend of historical, fantasy romance! Unique and different from everything I have read over the year. Easily I can say that this book is a top read! I highly recommend you this book, a definite must read! Sexy descriptive, beautifully detailed in history and current events. As a new reader of Angel Payne’s books I can say that a true love for her writing has bloomed in my chest.
It was truly amazing to read this Misadventure! I am working my way through Angels books and I would say that this is one of her best yet! The chemistry was out of this world! The French speaking got me all sorts of happy! Max is to die for and probably one of my favorite male characters of Angel’s to date! He and Allie totally set this book on fire! The writing is phenomenal and very emotional at times. I love when I crave re-reading pages before I move on and this book absolutely did that to me! The supporting characters are awesome and totally make this book humorous and real! I would definitely recommend this book and I WILL be reading it again and again! The ending will almost make you jump out of your seat!! The one and only thing I would say that I was disappointed about was there was no epilogue. We usually see those in Misadventures and I really wanted one in this book! Regardless I loved Time Traveler and you will too!!!!
Angel Payne really knocked this story out of the park; I loved it! While I was excited to read it, I wasn’t sure how I would feel about a story based off time travel and the synopsis made me a little leery but it worked! Allie and Max have great chemistry and it was fun to see how much they have in common despite him being from a different century. There’s humor, history, fantasy and mystery that made me really appreciate the story. Once again, Angel did an amazing job and you need to read it!
Misadventures with a Time Traveler is a whirlwind romance you don’t want to miss! An adventure that defies all odds and will have you believing in the impossible. This was a steamy roller coaster of emotions and passion. A wonderfully depicted tale of how much has changed since 1789, with a spellbound and tragic story surrounding Max’s history, that will have you swooning from the first page. Angel Payne has outdone herself with this latest addition to the Misadventures Series, and I was captivated until the very end. The perfect escape for any reader that wants some romance, with a touch of “Kate & Leopold” in their life!
I have loved every Misadventures book to date. This one is my all time favorite. Angel Payne writes amazing books. Thank you for letting us into your worlds.
Allie Fine is a twenty-five-year-old workaholic who’s grown cynical about love. She unhappily lets her friends drag her to Chateau De Leon for her birthday where she meets Max, who seems to have been made for her. Thing is, he claims to me Maximillian George Jean Valence De Leon, who, according to public records, was killed by a murderous mob during the early days of the Revolution. He claims one of his servants saved him by putting a curse on him that can only be broken if he marries her. Will Allie be able to get over her cynicism to keep Max alive?
This is one hot, hot, HOT read. The writing was impeccable, with descriptions rich enough for me to imagine I was in the same room as the characters as the events unfolded. Allie is one strong-willed woman who knows what she wants and Max is one selfless, attentive alpha. This book is an emotional roller coaster that kept me guessing until the very end—a definite must-read!
Misadventures with a Time Traveler is a contemporary romance written in dual first-person narrative. It’s a standalone that ends with an HEA. No cliffhanger, no cheating.
I received this book at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.
My oh my!!! This book was one fantastic and sexy as hell story. Loved Allie and Max together, they definitely had me laughing out loud and fanning myself quit often.
Great job Angel!! Thank you for an amazing adventure with a super hot time traveler
Wow! Angel never ceases to amaze me and with Timetraveler it was no different. I loved the characters and the storyline. Read it straight through, I couldn’t put it down!! A must read! Unputdownable!
Misadventures with a Time Traveler by Angel Payne is the story of Max De Leon and Allie Fine.
Allie is off on a birthday vacation with friends to the French countryside touring old castles. There she meets Max who becomes her hot lover but he reveals to her that he is actually centuries old. Of course there is a catch…Max has to get Allie to confess her love for him and to marry him.
This was a very hot fun read!
I am not new to reading the Misadventures series, but this is the first book I have read from Angel Payne. That being said, I really enjoyed this book. I really liked the idea about it and it was a different kind of read for me.
I loved Max. He didn’t try to shy away that he wasn’t from the present time, yet no one believed he wasn’t. Just thought he was strange. I felt his reactions to the new age technology was realistic and probably how anyone would react in that situation. Alice was hit or miss. I liked her but at the same time I was also frustrated with her, because I wanted her to believe, to fit.
There is no denying the chemistry these two had though. It was explosive from the very first moment they met and just continued to grow and develop from there.
I fell in love with this story and these characters and I hope there is more of them in the future because I definitely want to see what is in store for both Max and Allie.
This is not a normal genre of book for me. This book was hard for me to get into. I stuck it out and had to find out what happened once I got into the book.
Allie and Max are destined to be together Allie just doesn’t know it. When she discovers the secret that Max is keeping will she run for the hills? Will these two have a chance to make it work?
This was definitely a different book. If you like pnr then this would be up your alley.
