Cash
We all have demons. A past that haunts us. I’ve tried like hell to overcome mine and move forward.
And I’ve done pretty well for myself.
Now, when my past and present collide, I have to decide which direction to go.
I’ve always been one to go with my heart, but what happens when the ghost of my past and the key to my future both own a piece?

So Cash and Leslie may just be my favorite couple!! These two bring the heat and the emotions. I will say this book is highly emotional and one of my favorites of Nicole’s.
Cash has a haunting past that keeps popping up when he doesn’t expect it. He is clean and the best at racing but that doesn’t stop the demons from showing up. Beth… oh this girl needs some serious help and needs to let go of Cash. He and Leslie have a casual fling which works for them. Leslie especially.. but then things become complicated and that’s when things get interesting..I have a serious girl crush on Leslie. She’s a ballbuster and tells it exactly how it is. She knows what she wants and goes after it. She does have a sensitive side though and it comes out very seldom but when it does, she makes people think. I don’t want to give to much away cause you really need to read this book! I mean it that good, Trust me on this!!! I am a huge fan of Nicole’s books and this by far is her best and most emotional to date!
Misbehaved is the story of Cash and Leslie (and of course Beth). Nothing like having to decide about your past or your present. How do you give your heart to someone when you feel you gave it away a long time ago? Read to find out exactly what happens when past meets present and what the future may hold for Cash and his true love. Read to find out.
This story is about real life struggles from bereavement, addiction, abuse and love. It will pull you in with the emotions that keep you turning the page to see how it will all be handled.
What a great read! Nicole did a great job writing this story. I cant wait to see what else she has in store for this series
Leslie and Cash will not disappoint. The story is full of drama and emotions. We get an older woman younger man, tragic pasts, and of course our happy ever after. Both characters come from rocky pasts. If you have read previous books, you know that Leslie is Mitch Adamson’s daughter. He was not the best parent and her mother was not any better. The Adamson family is messy but the siblings love each other and have each other’s back. Leslie is a strong, independent woman. She has worked hard to make it in a male dominated career as a sports reporter. In a family of racers she knows a lot about racing and the men who make up the world. She meets Cash after a rather trying day. Cash has been through a very traumatic time. He grew up as a foster kid, met the love of his life, lost a child and the love of his life. When he meets Leslie, he has hit close to rock bottom. It’s not the right time,but they continue to run into each other. They start an 8 year affair with rules. No feeling, no talking about feelings, just sex. It works for them, but as time goes on things change. When the past comes meets the present, they have to have each other’s back. I love both characters and was sorry the story ended. I am glad they get their happy ever after.
My heart feels raw! What an emotional read! It’s a beautiful story, filled with heart ache, love and family…..Not all heroes wear capes and not all happy endings are the happily ever after you’d imagine, sometimes life just doesn’t work out the way you planned…. Highly recommend this series! This author has a talent and made me fall in love with each character she dreams up!
Oh wow…
I’ve been intrigued by these characters since they were introduced into the monroe/adamson family, and Nicole hasn’t disappointed, I couldn’t put this book down, and I am so in love with cash and Leslie.
They both have had a rough start but are completely perfect for each other. This story covers a lot of triggers and shows that with the right people around you, anything is possible.
I am so glad they got their happily ever after, and I have to say, for a while I wasn’t sure they were going to, but Nicole, being the awesome author that she is, ensured that nothing was missed out and that they had an epic story
Life is full of potholes as we navigate the road to who we want to be. Cash’s beginnings didn’t start easy being in foster care but he found someone that made him whole. Then life sent a tsunami into their bubble and he’s been struggling to cope ever since. He keeps himself guarded, never truly letting anyone in. When he finds the perfect remedy in Leslie Adamson, a fellow believer in no strings hook-ups. Leslie has her own demons that she struggles to battle as she fights her way up in the sport broadcasting industry. This story surprised me as it squeezed my heart and made me cry while showing me the beauty of redemption and hope. The road to love is never easy, will Cash and Leslie be willing to embrace the opportunity?
Leslie and Cash’s love story is great. It’s always fun to be back with the Adamson gang, along with all their friends. Cash and Leslie have a no strings attached hookup relationship for a lot of years, until something shifts. But neither know if being more will ruin everything they have. I’d definitely recommend this book.
Misbehaved is book 4 in the Adamson Family Series, and in the spotlight….Leslie!! She is such a strong, kickass “I don’t need no man” my career is all I want kinda woman….who also didn’t have an easy life, swore she would never, NEVER get involved with a racer, then she meets Cash Phillips, race car driver, and Cash has quite a few demons of his own that he’s fighting, and he’s doing a good job keeping them at bay, Leslie’s demons are different, but just the same have helped make her the ballbusting, take no prisoners badass she is!! The sexy times will melt your kindle, that’s how hot Cash and Leslie are!! Nicole is so good at writing all the feels, and throwing in banter that makes you laugh when just a few moments before you were wiping tears away. I love each and every book Nicole writes, and I can say with full confidence all books yet to come, so HELL YES I am recommending this book…you need to read this!!! I can’t wait to see what road Nicole takes us down next!!
Leslie is strong, a badass woman and rising sports journalist who doesn’t need or have time for a man. Cash is a sexy af racer with a tragic past who doesn’t want more than one night with the same woman. So despite not liking each other together they think they’ve come up with the perfect no strings attached arrangement. What could go wrong when they misbehave together?
Every book I say this and every book it’s more true: Nicole Dykes’ storytelling and writing only gets better with each book she pens! Her heroines are funnier, stronger, and utterly likable. Her heroes are swoon worthy a-holes who are never perfect, but always find and earn redemption. The angst and feels are plentiful, but she always manages to inject the perfect amount of humor in just the right places. I love good banter and I can always count on that when I pick up a Nicole Dykes novel. And sweet Jesus the steam factor! *bites fist* You could read one of the smexy scenes to a wrinkled shirt and the steam would have it looking pressed and polished in no time.
Sexy, emotional, and totally unputdownable. This is one book that can’t be set down until you reach the end. If you’re already a fan picking up this book is no brainer. If this is a new-to-you author buckle up, Buttercup and get ready to fall in love with The Adamsons, Nicole’s writing, and the binge fest you’ll soon begin while catching up on her backlist. 5 Stars.
Wow just wow!
Nicole Dykes is one of my absolute favorite authors and she hit it out of the park with this book!
Misbehaved.. Cash and Leslie
Cash Phillips has had one hell of a life, he’s been through the ringer and has been put to the test time and time again always proving to be stronger than the rest. He battles his demons and his past, but his past refuses to stay in the past
Leslie Adamson gorgeous reporter, ball buster, and just not raised right. She refuses to let love in after seeing the disaster marriage her parents had and never wants to be out through that. Will Cash be the one who changes her mind?
I highly recommend this book, as it is one of my favorites!
Buckle up, put the kettle on and make yourself comfortable because you won’t be going anywhere any time soon. Nicole Dykes has continued her phenomenal series of The Adamson family and they are just as magnetic and charismatic as the Monroe’s.
This is the story of Leslie Adamson and Cash Phillips and Nicole doesn’t disappoint. It’s the most heart breaking story of them all and at times I was so choked up I couldn’t breathe, but thank god it ended with a HEA. Now I can’t wait to read the next book as I know it’s going to just as epic as the rest.
Why do people misbehave? It’s not for the reason most people think. Many times it’s because they can’t control their emotions, have unmet needs, they want power and control, independence and sometimes there’s issues that affect their life so deeply that they don’t know how to cope other than by doing something to avoid the situations. This book meets all of these conditions above. It is way more than a steamy love story. Don’t get me wrong there are plenty of hot scenes that would require a fire hose to put the flames out. Really though this book is on another level deep. It depicts two flawed individuals that have so much baggage they are trying to find their way through not knowing how to gain some control over their lives. On the surface it looks like they have it all. However, as we all know looks can be deceiving. It deals with grief and just trying to get from one day, one hour, to the next without falling apart.
Cash and Leslie are beautifully flawed people dealing on a daily level to control their situations and not let loose. As we all know life doesn’t stand still and things constantly change so do people no matter how well we will it to be be otherwise. There’s a lot going on in this book that adds to the story. The secondary characters are almost as essential to the story as the the two main characters. At times they will break your heart. I don’t do spoilers so you need to read the story but I assure you it will be well worth it.
This book can be read as a standalone but it will be better appreciated if you read the other books in the two series. They really do interconnect. I started in the middle and definitely want to read the rest.
As I said you’ll get everything you’re looking for drama, smiles, heat, angst, and romance. You may even cry or at the very least tear up. You may also get a little more educated on what grief and addiction (there’s all kinds of addictions) can do to you.
Do yourself a favor and read this book. I read it in one sitting. I was so immersed in it I couldn’t put it down.
Kudos to the author for such a beautiful book. I may have spent hours reading but the story will stay with me for a very long time!
Gah this book is everything!!
I’ve been so intrigued by both these characters separately throughout numerous other books so was so excited we got to read theirs!
Lesley Adamsom is a ball busted and takes no shh from anyone. Shes the ultimate heroine and one of my favourites ever!!
Cash Phillip’s is the life and soul of the party which had previously come at a cost. And oh his past made me cry so hard!!
These two together are ultimate couple goals. They are strong but independent. And that ending made my heart oh so happy!
Another fantastic book by Nicole Dykes! #Lash <3
I loved this story and could not put it down. Cash and Leslie are both stubborn and headstrong and broken! Neither one of them have had the best past, and addiction and pain are nothing new. Their path together is a rocky one, but one that’s worth the wait! A five star must read!
O.M.G. Cash and Leslie’s story is finally here! I love love this book! I love how we get more of a back story of the two! Learning A LOT as to why each of them are the awesomeness they are and why they work steamy and hotness the entire time they have known each other. You may cry. You may blush. You may yell. You may be mad as all get out and happy as a frog on a lilly pad. This book has all the feels. I can only imagine the emotions these characters have felt. One of my favorites by Nicole Dykes. My absolute fave of the Adamson family for sure! Must read! Yes 5 stars for sure!
I really enjoyed this story!!! The characters were fantastic and it deals with a hard subject as well. It tackles addiction and the ongoing battle that it is to stay sober. It also tackles and deals with the tragedy of losing a child. Cash did not have it easy growing up but he met and married the love of his life (or so he thought). They were not exactly healthy until they had their little girl. Then tragedy struck and threw them both off track. Cash was lucky enough to find his way sober and a way to stay that way. Cash and Leslie have been hooking up for years. That’s all it’s been for them though, just sex. But recently things have started to change a little bit. This is that story. Cash has to deal with his past coming back again and with what is going on with Leslie. I loved how this story was written. It flows really well from past to present so that you get all the information that you need and you can understand why people are reacting the way they are. I thought it was really well done. The sex is explicit and absolutely plays a part, (I mean of course, they were sex buddies for years). But it is all blended into the story perfectly. It all fits together and creates this spell that pulls you in from beginning to end! Once I started reading this story I couldn’t put it down. It was fantastic and I can’t wait for the next Adamson to fall.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
This. Book. Is. Everything. LASH forever. If you love a troubled soul & a badass chick love story this is for you!! Leslie will have you questioning your sexuality (for incredibly good reason) and Cash will have you SO heated you’ll remember why you love the D This book is pure gold & some of Nicole’s absolute finest work!! MUST READ!
