She thought he adored her and Eryn Hope fell fast and incurably for Weston Quaid, until he day be walked on their wedding day and readers can’t help but become caught up in West’s determination to win her back in this emotionally gripping misadventure romance. The characters are strong and real which makes it easy for readers to relate to them and the chemistry between West and Eryn is sexy and sizzles with lots of heat. Eryn is determined to protect her heart no matter how undeniable the attraction feels, so much of the story is an emotional roller coaster as she struggles not to give in to West’s seduction and the hero is a dominate male that will use whatever he has to get Eryn back into his life. The relationship is further complicated by some less than desirable family members which adds to the drama and suspense of this couple’s happily ever after.
The story is set at a steady pace and the hero is a wealthy CEO who’s willing to bargain in order to get the upper hand when it comes to matters of the heart, which is scandalously sexy. The story is quite emotional but there is also some snarky dialogue and chuckle worthy moments peppered throughout the story and with every turn of the page readers find themselves pleased more and more with all the chemistry and romance of Eryn and Hope’s road to happily ever after with every turn of the page.
Considering that I know I enjoy Shayla Black’s books in general AND that her other contribution to this series (Misadventures of a Backup Bride) got a five star rating from me, I’m actually surprised at how surprised I was to love Misadventures With My Ex. From the way that we meet West and Eryn, to the way that their past is revealed and their current situations grows – it was just great storytelling. I didn’t want to put the book down! I even wanted to get the audiobook so I could go full immersion on it, but alas it is not yet available. The emotions were so real; I could feel Eryn’s pain and West’s remorse, as well as his determination to get his girl back. I loved Eryn’s sisters (I’m wondering if they have their own books?) and the tension with West and his mom and uncle. When I saw that the book is under 200 pages, I was like “cool, I can breeze through this easily,” but I was sad when it ended (even though everything was very happily resolved). I want more! The steamy bits are intense and fraught with emotion and oh so satisfying. My crack is a book where the hero is single-minded in winning the girl. MA With My Ex is the best version of that – West is a man that knows he screwed up and lost the best thing he ever had and is willing to fight tooth and nail to get her back and I am all in for it! 5 out of 5 wine glasses.
Love Conquers All … A Story of Regrets, Reaffirmation & Redemption
If you loved Ella’s story in Misadventures of a Backup Bride, then you are sure to be enthralled by her sister Eryn’s story. This book is so beyond sensational that I want to tell you in detail everything single thing that will have you turning the pages so fast you’ll get a paper cut from your paperback or a hand cramp from your eReader. However, I don’t want to ruin the awesomeness that is Misadventures with My Ex for you so I’ll just say be prepared for subterfuge, clever manipulation, second chances and a love conquers all story that only the mind of Shayla Black could imagine and create. West and Eryn’s story will have you engaged from start to finish with well written dialogue, sizziling, sexy scenes and a love story that will have you swooning!
I love a second chance romance & and this book didn’t disappoint! I love how Weston did everything he possibly could to show Eryn that he needed her in her life. It was a great book & I didn’t want to put it down!
Misadventures with My Ex by Shayla Black is a second chance romance with a bit of a twist. Eryn Hope was left devastated when Weston Quaid left her on what was supposed to be their wedding day. They both moved on, but never forgot, because how can you let go of the other half of your heart?
Now Weston is back and blowing her world apart again. But even as her heart tells her to beware, her body wants him back. Can she protect her heart and livelihood? Weston has never stopped loving Eryn. He had his reasons for leaving ,but he has always regretted it and is now ready to win her back. Even if it means fighting dirty. I am enjoying the variety of the Misadventures series and Misadventures with My Ex by Shayla Black was a light, quick and a bit angsty second chance read.

Happy reading.
Misadventures with my ex is the newest book in the misadventures series. This is Eryn and West’s story. Eryn was about to have all of her dreams come true, she cas about to marry the love of her life. Until he walks out on her on their wedding day. Fast forward three years and Eryn is still bitter and heartbroken. What happens when West shows up on her doorstep? Will she forgive him and why did he leave. This is another great book in the misadventures series!
I enjoyed this book. Eryn is still nursing a broken heart after West ran out on their wedding day. West is just looking to talk to Eryn about business but when old feelings rekindle will it be enough? Do they have a chance at mending their broken hearts?
This was a good read! Look forward to more from the Misadventures series.
Eryn and Weston were to be married but on the day of the wedding he walks out on her. Years later Weston has control of his fortune but it cost him the woman he loves, Eryn. After taking over a business that Eryn depends on for her money, Weston makes Eryn an offer to take care of everything until she can open her Bistro if she will become his mistress. Sparks still fly between the two. Will Weston be the one with a broken heart this time?
A powerful story of undying love and redemption! The story line had my attention from the first page and kept me right there along for the ride as their lust for each other forced a reconciliation neither were expecting. Great characters, steamy interactions and a heartwarming underlying love. Really enjoyed!
Eryn Hope was on top of the world until the love of her life didn’t show up for their wedding. She has picked up the pieces and started life anew, but she’s still haunted by the man she can’t get out of her mind. He was her soulmate, but did she ever really know him?
Weston Quaid had reasons he couldn’t explain for missing their big day and staying away. Three years have passed and he’s finally on the verge of wrestling control of his family’s company into his hands once and for all. Circumstances beyond anyone’s control are causing him to shut down her restaurant for a few weeks, but the chemistry still between them makes it easy for him to make her a tempting offer. Be his mistress for the time that her business is closed and he’ll pay all of the expenses to keep her business, apartment and employees stable.
The passion between them is still unstoppable, but when secrets from the past are brought to light, will she be able to forgive the things she knew nothing about?
What’s better than a new Shayla Black book? One that is part of the Misadventures series, that’s what. This series is so much fun, if you haven’t read any of the books yet no worries you can start right here. Each book is a standalone, novella sized romance that takes you on a journey of a Misadventure. Here we have one with an EX so if the Second-Chance-at-Love is a favorite trope of yours your in luck.
Eryn and West have a complicated past, one more complicated than even Eryn knows. West broke off their engagement the morning of their wedding and hasn’t spoken to Eryn since. To say she was devastated would be putting it mildly, it’s been three years and not only has Eryn not moved on but it doesn’t look like it will be happening anytime in the near future either.
Okay it has to be said that if you walk out on your bride on the day of your wedding you better have a damn good explanation and not just cold feet. This maybe a novella but I have to tell you I did not feel as if the story was rushed at all, we get the full explanation as to why things happened the way they did and what happened in the three years since. The chemistry between West and Eryn was amazing…..three years of missing one another added a WHOLE NEW LEVEL of heat to their flame.
This was a fun sexy quick read that can be enjoyed in just one afternoon. If you have read Misadventures of a Backup Bride you will remember Carson and Ella, Ella is Eryn’s sister and they both make an appearance in this book, if you haven’t no worries this is a standalone. This is an easy book to recommend for all lovers of contemporary romance that enjoy a good story with some heat.
Happy Reading!!!
This is the story is about Eryn that has been left by her ex at the worst possible timing and then magically Weston appears suddenly in her life again. I will not say more because I do not wish to ruin anyone’s reading experience. It is a quick read if you want or you can also prolong the experience and when reading this particular author, I tend to take my time and let it soak in and enjoy the whole adventure. I really did enjoy these characters, the story line was complete and not rushed as sometimes happens when the books are shorter but you get a complete overall experience. The chemistry was undeniable between Weston and Eryn, I loved the book and cannot wait for more by the author she always captivates me and I cannot get enough of her stories.
Typical Shayla awesomeness!! It was a fantastic read and I cannot wait to see if Ms. Echo gets a story, too!
Shayla Black is not one of my go to authors but the Misadventures Series certainly are must reads for me so I was excited to read an author I don’t read all the time and this author did not disappoint, once again another great story from the team of very talented authors who make up this Misadventures Series.
Eryn Hope had her heart broken once before by Weston Quaid when he left her at the altar but that was 3 years ago and times have moved on or have they !!. Weston knows he made a mistake letting his family intervene in his personal life but that doesn’ mean Eryn is ready to try again with the man who shattered her. Sometimes fate steps in when we least expect it and sends us down a road we never planned to go and that’s exactly what’s happens for this couple.
If you love Second Chance romance you will certainly want this book on your TBR list, it has the perfect mix of romance, angst with just a mix of humour. Looking forward to more from the Misadventures gang who certainly know how to give us great reads.
I loved this story. Eryn is strong willed and is trying to move from the most devastating day, when West left her at the alter. Three years later he comes back in her life trying to win her back, after shutting her restaurant down. Can West get Eryn to listen to him and can Eryn be able to trust west enough to love him again. This was a wonderful second chance read I could not get enough. Shayla Black did not disappoint and I highly recommend.
A steamy second chance romance. My heart went out to the main character and wanted to have her hold out for a damn good apology and explanation as to why he shattered her trust. I truly enjoy stories that make me slightly hate the main character and I’m not above a good attempt (or several) at groveling, lol. This was another great addition to the Misadventures Series!
I could not put this one down. Was not sure how this story was going to be but Shayla Black hit it out if the park. West and Eryn’s story grips you from the very first chapter. Loved every single hot and steamy second of this Misadventure. Definitely a must read that will keep you turning the page and not wanting it to end.
Misadventures with My Ex is another perfect addition to this fun series!
It is a sweet second chance romance between the sexy, hot guy and the beautiful, sassy woman, but in order to find there happily ever after they have to overcome betrayal and lies in order to find the passion and love.
West left Eryn at the altar three years earlier and is back to make amends and get back his girl. She is just not interested until he works his charms and reminds her of what they were together, but that doesn’t mean she is going to easily trust him. It is fun to read how hard he has to work to win her all over again, but the effort is worth it in the end!
Shayla Black does it again! A steamy read with all the feels.
4.5 stars
What do you do when you are about to marry the man of your dreams but he walks away, literally on your wedding day? You don’t hear from him for three years and then he shows up at your door. What could he possible want? Do you listen or push him away?
I love a second chance romance but I wanted to shake Eryn a few times because she was so wishy washy. She knew what she wanted and what she knew to be true but instead of asking questions to get the answers she needed, she would run and hide and let the problems fester. When all she needed to do was talk to West and tell him what she was feeling and what she feared. Then they could work them out together or walk away.
West needed to win Eryn back or his life would be plain, Eryn was the only person that made it special. So he had to make her listen to why he left her the way he did. And he needs to keep his mother away from Eryn.
Will Eryn give West the chance to explain and be able to forget him? Will his mother come between them before they can work things out? Will they finally get the happily ever after?
I loved this story to a point but some parts I wanted to skip over but I didn’t. Eryn’s internal fears and trust issues were her main problem that had her second guessing almost everything. And that is why I kept reading to see how it would end and in the end it was great.
I love Shayla Black and her writing style and I love the Misadventure series too. So if you are looking for a second chance story or another Misadventure story, then you get both here, just don’t give up on Eryn and West. I hope you enjoy it as much and I did.
**I received a free copy of this book to read and review and this is my honest opinion**
Eryn and Weston have history. The kind of history that is not only humiliating but life altering. They didn’t just break things off. Weston left her at the altar. I’ve never experienced that particular level of humiliation, but I can imagine it’s pretty big! That being said, I can’t imagine forgiveness and regaining trust is that easy to come by in those situations.
I very much enjoyed every single detail of this story. It was because of Weston’s family that he left in the first place, so it made total sense for his family (mainly mommy dearest lol) to try and sabotage their second chance to get it right. It made absolute sense for Eryn to be mistrusting of everything and everyone. I honestly can’t see a story-line like this being realistic without those elements in it. Eryn and Weston’s journey played out very realistically and relatable, imo. Eryn didn’t exactly make it easy nor did she just back in, but when she did give in to her desires … *fans self* these two were hot! I wouldn’t expect anything else from Shayla Black! The woman can deliver on character chemistry! She’s proven that time and time again with every story I have read of hers!
Excellent afternoon read with just the right amount of angst wrapped up in a huge heart! Well done!
