This book is so good I just reread it in one day.
First I love Shayla Black not only is her writing great but she is a beautiful person. Team Wild gave us back up bride. Then Shayla mentioned that this book had characters from Misadventures of a Backup bride. I knew automatically I had to read this one asap.
Wow what a story. Poor West he had to give up the woman he loved for his family. Now he noticed he can’t be happy without. Eryn has been unhappy for 3 years. Since the day she was supposed to marry West.
This is a second chance love story and it’s so good.
Cute plot, intense characters
The characters were a bit intense but the story was cute. This was my introduction with this author and I look forward to reading more… maybe something a little longer that allows for more character development and a longer timeline.
This is a sweet love story about a guy named West who left his fiancee Eryn at the alter three years ago. He never stopped loving her and after seeing her again, he is determined to win her back by making her fall in love with him again. Eryn’s heart and trust were broken when West walked away from her without telling her why. When she sees him again, she is furious at not only him but also at her traitorous body. When construction forces her cafe to be shut down for six weeks, West offers her a proposition. Eryn feels conflicted about taking it but finally relents because she figures she can keep her heart out of the equation. Things don’t go the way West planned and he becomes desperate because he loves her and doesn’t want to lose her again. He comes clean about his scheme and Eryn decides to give him another chance. However, when scandal breaks, Eryn’s heart is broken again and knows she can’t ever trust West again. When the truth is revealed, will West and Eryn finally get their happily ever after?
Amazing book! Shayla did a great job with the storyline about a second chance at love.
I didn’t know what to expect when I started this one but what I got was the most delectable slice of chocolate cake. I adore second chance romances and this one checked all the boxes.
Eryn and West were supposed to get married three years ago, only West left her hanging and moved to New York. So much water under the bridge leads to all that lovely tension and salacious behaviours I have come to relish from this author. Through an underhanded business deal they end up spending time together and Eryn fights with all her might not to regain the feelings she once had.
‘It’s too late to question the wisdom of this decision. I lift onto my tiptoes and press our lips together.
I’m kissing Weston Quaid again.
It’s hesitant at first. Then, suddenly, it’s a wildfire. Feeling his mouth on mine is heaven, homecoming, perfection. It’s like every memory of our passion that’s haunted my dreams. His scent fills the air with the olfactory equivalent of crack. His touch almost makes me weep.’
As is usual for this author, the under the sheet action scenes are intense and super sensual. With this book being told by both Eryn and West, the scenes are set and laid out in a way that enforces the intensity and heat. The secondary characters were just as well padded as both Eryn and West. I found myself laughing at the total disconnect between Echo and Hayes. I wonder if we’ll ever get their story, I sure hope so.
Throughout all the ups and downs, there is the constant of family with Eryn. Even though they know better than her; what’s allegedly going to happen, they keep her feet firmly on the ground and are always there for support. Thank you Ms. Black for once again filling my head with wonders and making me lose the real world for just a little while.
Family issues interfered with their wedding three years prior. Business issues bring him back into her orbit. Overlooking his outrageous proposition that she really needs, Eryn does not trust Weston as far as she can toss him.
A six-week pact is made and Eryn intends for it to end there. West intends for a new beginning with her.
There was no doubt that these two had it bad for each other or that there was an inferno of heat between them. But every chapter has you wondering if this is where she will just pick up and run or whether it is where he finally tells her the truth that she is afraid to ask for.
There were times I wanted to cry for them and other times I just wanted to smack their heads together and scream Talk!
I do love how all of the awful truths finally came out. But I love how West handled his mother.
This is another Misadventure I will read over again.
I am so addicted to these Misadventure books, I can’t seem to let even one slip past me without reading it. This was a great second chance love story. Eryn Hope comes face to face with the man who left her at the alter three years before, on the exact anniversary of the horrible day. Weston Quaid, the man who ran from his fiance just moments before their nuptials, has to confront his past by seeing her for buisness, but is hoping he can get back what he lost. A contract later and some serious convincing, West has laid out his plan. Will these two find each other again or will the past be too much to get past??
Holy steam filled tension. This book was epic. Eryn and West were the hotness that I needed to fill my kindle. This book had me hooked from page one. The banter was off the charts. These two characters were some favorites of mine from Shayla Black and that says a lot! Shayla has a way of making you feel every ounce of what her characters feel. You’re all up in your feels, rooting for them, living vicariously through them for the span of a few hundred pages. This book weaves a story that has you hanging onto every single word. I laughed, I swooned, I cranked the fan on high because these two characters are fire hot baby! Of all the books in the misadventures books so far this one really tops the list for me. It’s one fantastically steamy ride and I cannot recommend it enough.
Five huge huge smoking hot stars. By Cat
Eryn is all set to marry West, the love of her life. However, plans don’t always go the way we want them t., When West walks out on their wedding day with no explanation Eryn is shattered. She moves on with her life, but West is always in the back of her mind. She celebrates her wedding anniversary, that never happened, every year by putting on her wedding dress and getting drunk. This is her 3rd anniversary and suddenly, there’s West in her apartment. That’s bad enough, but she finds out he heard her confession about him. He came to talk to her…now? Didn’t want to talk the day he walked out on her but suddenly 3 years later he wants to? What will she do?
I love second chance romance stories and this is was amazing! I wanted to shake, slap, yell at Eryn a couple times (okay, it was alot). West had his reasons for bailing, but being a man he felt it was necessary at the time. Will these two that had chemistry off the charts find love again with each other? Great story!
Fast paced, quick read, the only warning for this book is be careful where you read it cause the hot sex scenes may make you blush and squirm!
So no to the airport, or airplanes!
Perfect for the beach or bedtime!
That said, if you’re looking for an easy, predictable second chance romance this it. Well written, my only issue with second chance romances is that sometimes there shouldn’t be one!
After what happened between Eryn and Wes, I’m not sure a second chance romance is what I’d be after…maybe a murder mystery?
You read and decide!
3.5 stars!
Five authentic stars! An irresistible tale of remorse, forgiveness and love.
Oh my swoony heart! Misadventures with My Ex by Shayla Black is a bittersweet candy wrapped in a second chance romance. Damn it! Shayla Black took second chance romances to a whole new level with this fantastic book. It was everything I was expecting and more. This second chance romance is written with a high level of authenticity that make this book even more devastating and masterful. It tastes sweet. It is heartbreakingly. It is consuming. It is the epitome of second chance romances.
I never thought that I would love this book the way I did because I’m not too keen on second chance romances but this book proof me wrong. A few pages in and I was a goner, completely owned by it as I sank into this second chance romance with few touches of bittersweet heartbreak and little bit of thrill and family conspiracy.
The plot is resistless and the story unfolds smoothly as the petals of a rose with sharp thorns and beautiful colour that seduces all your senses to wildness. It is a haunting and beautiful masterpiece. It is raw, it is compelling. It is complex. It is a wild journey of forgiveness and redemption for two souls that meant to be together. The storyline is the best blend of absolution and extraordinary. It is utterly unique.
Eryn and Weston story is a bumpy ride of heartbreak, pain, forgiveness, reconciliation, second chance, trust and hope but above all of deep love and redemption. From the way the split apart in the past to the current situation they are in the present. They were souls destined to be together but things twisted. The contradiction of them is palpable. As Mexican said: “Donde hubo fuego, cenizas quedan” this literally means that “Where there was fire ashes remain”. What kills love is distrust, however, in a “strong” relationship like Eryn and Weston’s feelings can’t easily disappear because they are fierce and consuming. They are one of the few exceptions.
I felt the pain and sorrow Eryn dealt with after the break up and all the hurt Weston caused her. I wanted to hug her and punch Weston’s beautiful face. Sorry not sorry! The emotions were raw and real, nothing was forced, everything flowed painfully perfect. Eryn always wears her hearth in her sleeve and as delicate as she seems, she is also a fighter so don’t be fooled. Her heart was broken and the contradiction is that the only man who can repair her heart is the man who also broke it. But her heart was not the only thing broke. Her trust was damaged and thrown to the air too. Eryn is delicate as a rose, but she also has thorns. Will she forget and forgive the man who broke her heart and set her body alive?
Weston’s remorse was honest so I forgave him because he is the kind of man that recognizes the mistakes he’s done and tried to make them up. A man who admit and accept his mistakes is a real man ladies! I loved the technique he used to make it up for Eryn. He broke her heart and he will work hard to put all the pieces back together. He will earn Eryn’s trust. He will fight to get back the woman who owns his heart at any cost.
The attraction between Eryn and Wes never died. It is still there, consuming their soul, making impossible to be denied for both parties. The steamy bits are intense and fraught with emotion and brilliantly satisfying. My drug is a book where the hero is determined in winning the girl and Shayla Black did a great job with this book because it hold me hostage.
Misadventure with My Ex is a great addition to the Misadventure Series! It is a bright start that shines in the dark sky. It is brilliantly refreshing, enticing and of course incredible sexy. It is a perfect read for readers who love haunting and spicy romances.
I can’t help but to love a second chance romance but I was a bit hesitant with Weston at first. You live and learn and grow in life and this book has both. Weston made a choice three years ago and he never expected it to go on as long as it had. He thought he lost one of the most important things in his life and now that she is back in his life due to business, he has decided to try and explain and see if he can get back what he lost.
Shayla did such a great job with the rebuilding of Weston and Eryn’s story. I ended up loving this book and couldn’t put it down. I have found real winners in the Misadventures series and this is another to add to the list.
Double Jeopardy on this Misadventure. You’re ex is supposed to be just that. Someone you complain about at length when your drunk, someone that boils your blood, someone you hold a grudge with. Eryn wrote off West the day he left on their WEDDING DAY. He chose his path and it didn’t include her. Now he’s back in her life and if it wasn’t bad enough he screwed her back then now he’s trying to screw her over now. West knew that leaving Eryn to control his family empire was a mistake, but what’s the use of crying over spilled milk. Now he’s a huge jerk coming in and taking her bistro. But when he offers an indecent proposal, he just might be the one on the short end of the stick this time.
Smoking hot read! Love the storyline! Couldn’t put it down. The couple had amazing chemistry! I so would love to know what happens with her sister Willow.
4.5 stars
He’s baaaaack. Three years after he stood her up on their wedding day, West is back with one thing on his mind to woo his ex-fiancée Eryn. He could not have picked a worse day to show up when suffice it to say she was not at her best. Not letting anything stand in his way, West makes Eryn an offer that she cannot refuse. Will he get what he wants from her or are her feelings too buried under all the hurt of the past? Can Eryn open herself up to West and trust him again? Filled with passion, drama and wonderful characters this is one sexy read that can be read and enjoyed in a relatively short period of time. It is a great addition to the Misadventures Series and I hope that there will be another book for Eryn’s sister Echo coming in the future.
I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book and all opinions are my own.
