At age twenty-nine, Piper Daniels is having the longest dry spell of her life. When she agrees to be set up on a blind date, she never expects it to end with the hottest sex of her life. But when she discovers that her very well-endowed secret lover is also her new boss, heartless womanizer and cutthroat CEO Jackson Dane, she chalks it up to a one-time mistake and puts up her best professional … professional front. But Jackson isn’t used to rejection, and if Piper thinks it’s going to be easy to move on from their tryst, she’s underestimated his determination.
MISADVENTURES ARE STANDALONE ROMANCES THAT CAN BE READ IN ANY ORDER

I am enjoying making my way through the Misadventures books, and this one was a great addition to the line-up. Piper and Jackson have loads of chemistry, and the forbidden aspect of their office romance makes for a sizzling page-turner. Immensely enjoyable read. Looking forward to my next Misadventure!
I have yet to read a Kendall Ryan book that I did not thoroughly enjoy and Misadventures with the Boss is no exception! I was SO excited when I heard that she was contributing to the Misadventures series and as it turns out, her book is one of my favorite contributions thus far. The connection between Piper and Jackson was intense and palpable from the start and the evolution of their relationship was just angsty enough to give the story tension without being overly drawn out. I’m a fan of office romances, particularly those that involve the boss and his assistant and this was a fantastic version of the trope. Watching Jackson fall for Piper (and vice versa) was such a fun and sexy trip with the perfect dash of emotion to make the story real and well-rounded. 4 out of 5 wine glasses.
Piper is new in town and looking for a fresh start, so prior to starting her new job, she listens to her sister who sets up her dating profile online and gets her a blind date. After a few drinks, she has a one night stand. Then when she shows up to her new job, her boss Jackson is none other than the guy she slept with.
Jackson generally doesn’t see women more than once since he had a bad experience when he was first building his business. He got a girlfriend pregnant and he didn’t love her but was nearly tied to her for life, until she had a miscarriage. After that happened, he focused on building his business and becoming a success.
Piper is extremely smart and turns out to be a great assistant and a big help to Jackson and the attraction between them does not die down, they end up having some very steamy situations and the chemistry is undeniable and the book is a good one.
Thoroughly enjoyed this read. Piper has had a long dry spell with no man in her life. She’s moved to another city to start a new job, but when her sister puts her on a dating site without her permission, she gets a response immediately.
Jackson sees her profile on the site and makes contact with her. He’s not looking for a relationship. He just wants a right now kind of gal. Meeting up, neither is immediately aware that they’re there for different reasons. Still, it ends up being hot and steamy and they part ways, thinking they’ll never see each other again. That is, until Piper discovers Jackson is her new boss.
Determined to keep it professional, it doesn’t take long until Jackson caves and makes Piper a proposition.
Loved this story. Loved the characters.

My Review:
I don’t know why I haven’t availed myself of this talented scribe’s works before, but this was my inaugural outing with the delightful Ms. Kendall Ryan. Where have I been? I smirked and gasped my way through this deliciously steamy, highly amusing, and enticingly clever tale of a good girl finding her mojo on a new job with her cranky and demanding boss, a difficult to please yet sexy powerhouse of a boss who found himself similarly distracted and preoccupied with his super efficient and beautiful new assistant. The characters were smart, endearing, and well nuanced, I adored them. Ms. Ryan’s writing style was crisp, vibrant, and breezily engaging. I promptly added her to the top of my list as a new favorite; the stalking will now commence.
This was a fun and seriously sexy read!! This is the first of the Misadventures Books that I have read and now I feel I need to seek out the other books and read them too.
As you probably know I read EVERYTHING kendall Ryan writes, so I was all over this one when I saw it was being released. I absolutely LOVE her writing. This book was no different.
Misadventures With the Boss is exactly what it sounds like a forbidden office romance. Although it doesn’t start out like that. This is a quick read but it lacked for nothing. It is told in Dual POV and is a complete standalone. You don’t have to read any other book before enjoying this one. If you haven’t ever read anything by Kendall Ryan this would be the perfect place to start.
In this book we meet Jackson and Piper. I loved this couple together!! Piper has moved to New York to start fresh and get over her last break-up. But she is also a little lonely. Her sister thinks she needs to get out more, but Piper just wants to meet people she can be friends with. Her sister unknowingly sets up a profile for her on a dating app, telling her it’s a good way to meet new people. Her sister picks out her match and sets her up on blind date. This is how she meets Jackson. Little did she know when she starts her new job on Monday, Jackson is also her boss. What we get from here is a HOT forbidden office romance that will melt your kindle.
As I said before this is a GREAT read. It was fun, sexy and just what I expect from Kendall Ryan. I would 100% recommend this book to anyone who loves a forbidden office romance novel. If you are a fan of Kendall’s then you don’t want to miss this gem!!!

Easy fun day read. This is a short story. I enjoyed it very much on my day off.
Audio Review from 2018
I really enjoyed this novella! Kendall knocked it out of the park as usual!!
Josh Goodman was a twist to narrate with Andi Arndt but they both knocked it out the park as well
This was office romance at its best.
Piper was new in town when she hooked up with Jackson who then becomes her boss.
Jackson was the boss who looked like a workaholic asshole but underneath the surface, he was a decent human who wanted to succeed not only for himself but also for his employees.
Piper is a sweet girl, who has been hurt by an ex-boyfriend. She thought she could be professional after a night of fun but she was very wrong.
The sex scenes were hotter than hot, and I loved Jackson’s dirty mouth.
Piper and Jackson had so much chemistry, they would light up the pages. But they also had many sweet, adorable moments.
When drama happened Piper handled it completely wrong and it made me hate her a little for her. Jackson on the other hand acted like a real man and I fell in love with him. He now is a part of my flock of book boyfriends.
I loved how the story was more than sex, there was progression in the storyline and so much character growth.
I have read more books in the Misadventures series but this one is my favorite. Kendal Ryan is a safe choice, her books are always filled with humor, emotion, and steam and this was no different.
Hot office romance!
This story was well-written, if not terribly innovative. Piper and Jackson have a hot ONS then find out he’s her new boss. Cue all the tropey office/employee issues. There’s plenty of humor and heat and a completely unsurprising surprise on the way to a very satisfying HEA. If you like knowing how it’s all going to go before you start the book, this one’s for you.
A lot of spins added to the usual “sex with the man you later find is your new boss” story. Unputdownable
Piper and Jackson are super hot. They meet for a quick no strings hook up that gets complicated when Piper shows up at her new job on Monday to discover that Jackson is her boss. Jackson does not realize how much he needs Piper, but she quickly makes herself indispensable in many ways.
I loved Piper’s strength and her skills. I love how hard Jackson falls for her. This was a fairly quick, steamy read with the occasional surprise thrown in. Very enjoyable.
Good book
Loved the fun read
Workplace romp…oh yeah!
What starts out as a one night stand turns into an awkward first day of work! But even awkward working conditions can become more. Misadventures with the Boss is a fun little diversion.
Piper and Jackson were amazing and complementing each other. Yes there were miscommunications like any couple would have but than at the same time they over came all those obstacles. I absolutely loved it and looking forward to read more from Kendall Ryan.
A sweet, cute, entertaining and fast paced journey to go on with Piper and Jackson. I enjoyed this story.

Misadventures with the Boss by Kendall Ryan was the eleventh book in the Misadventures series. The series was written by multiple authors focusing on short and sexy storylines.
Jackson Dane was the CEO of his own Real Estate Development Company. He was gorgeous, intense, a work-a-holic and extremely difficult to work for. He didn’t have time for relationships so he scheduled hookups for every couple weeks through a dating app. His company was his life and he intended to keep it that way.
Piper Daniels had just moved to New York. She was looking for a new beginning while leaving the old behind.
Misadventures with a Boss was humorous from the start. I loved the beginning interaction between Piper and her sister and it had me hooked from page one. The storyline was the quintessential new city, need to hook up one last time before I start my new job, oops my new boss was my hookup story! It was predictable but it was also fun and interesting.
I enjoy this series and was thrilled to see Ryan as one of the authors. I’ll definitely read more Ryan and I can’t wait to read more Misadventures as well.
Kendall Ryan takes a work-place affair to a whole new level of smokin’ hot.
Easy reading
