About this ebook

"A scorching-hot read…Playful writing, abundant sex, and a touch of melodrama mark the beginning of this promising new series.'' ~Library Journal

Fresh off a divorce from a Hollywood hotshot, Madison Atwood needs an escape. With the paparazzi fresh on her heels and her love life splashed on every tabloid, she runs away to a swanky retreat in Northern California. Avalon Springs is the mountainside haven she needs to find herself again.

Luke Dawson lives off the grid, preferring solitude to society. When he finds a beautiful woman soaking in the hot springs on his property, he can’t stop himself from watching her. She captures his attention, but she’s just a city girl—a beautiful distraction disturbing the peace he’s settled here to find.

When Madison discovers Luke’s secluded cabin, he can’t turn her away again. They make no promises. Madison needs to feel wanted again, and Luke misses the touch of a woman. But when mother nature has other plans, they’re forced to spend more than a night of passion together. Can Luke say goodbye to the only woman who’s made him feel anything in years, and can Madison leave behind the man who brought her back to life?

<i>Misadventures is a romantic series of spicy standalone novels, each written or co-written by some of the best names in romance. The stories are scandalous, refreshing, and, of course, incredibly sexy. They’re the perfect bedside read, a ‘quick blush’ for the reader who loves a page-turning romance.</i>

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely amazing! The relationship between Luke and Madison are exactly what every girl wants and every girl deserves. The way he wants to protect her at every turn leaves the readers heart aching for more. Luke Dawson is a beautiful soul. I started this book at 11:30 am and finished at 3pm. It's such a good book I couldn't put it down. Another wonderful writing by Meredith Wild and Chelle Bliss. Instead of separately writing amazing reads, we get the best of both worlds with this book!!! Thank you again for giving me the chance to be one of the first to read this amazing work of art.

This is my first read by these authors and I'd heard some great things about them. However, this one didn't quite live up to my expectations. The writing style and flow are good, but while it was certainly erotic, the plot left something to be desired. I knew this one would be steamy and had no issue with that, but there wasn't much in the way of build-up or sexual tension between Madison and Luke. It felt like they were tearing each other's clothes off before I even had time to connect with either character or want to see them together. The sex scenes were good, but without some depth of the characters involved, it becomes just one sexy time after another that could be in any romance. Overall, it's not a bad story if you like erotica with a little story thrown in, but for this reader, it was just an okay read.

I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to read this prior to being released on 9/12/17. If you haven't PRE-ORDERED this one yet, what are you waiting for. For the love of all that is holy!!! This was one steamy, hot read that grips you from the first few sentences. I found myself so engulfed in reading that I didn't even realize the water in my bubble bath had turned cold. I will not spoil this for you but Luke Dawson is now a man that any man in my future will have to live up to. Meredith Wild & Chelle Bliss hit a home run with this book and the fact that two authors wrote this blows my mind. I have read books that were co-written before and I could tell the difference but Meredith and Chelle delivered a book that not only flowed seamlessly, it kept me wanting more and never did I feel as though it was written by two different authors. I feel honored to have had the opportunity to read this before it's release and I thank you both for that. Now to recover and go back in for seconds cause a re-read will be happening soon. P.S., I made sure to take my time after the bath reading marathon because I didn't want this book to end <3
