About this ebook

“Beautifully written characters, honest and true emotions and a lovable storyline that had me hooked from the opening pages.” ~The Overflowing Bookcase

Once, Eryn Hope fell fast and incurably for Weston Quaid. And he seemed to adore her too—until she learned their love was built on lies when he walked out on their wedding day.

Three years later, West has finally won control of his family empire and fortune, but it cost him Eryn—something he regrets every day. When business forces him to return to her life and temporarily shut down her livelihood, of course she’s furious. But their chemistry is still beyond combustible. So he makes her a proposition: he’ll take care of her until her bistro reopens…if she becomes his mistress. Her mind screams no, but her body whimpers yes, yes, yes.

As soon as West has her back in his bed, their passion burns hotter than ever. So do his feelings. But can he and Eryn really recapture the love they shared? And when their bargain ends, will he be the one shattered this time or will they finally come together forever?

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.

Ratings and reviews

Misadventures with My Ex. A star crossed couple, who find their way back to each other in spite of family adversity. I try not to write spoilers I have to say “three years?” It took three years, after leaving “the love of his life” at the alter, with no contact, whatsoever, to work out the convoluted miasma of this relationship. There is romance, steam, angst and the HEA ending. Good read for the beach with an adult beverage.

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.

4.5 Star review of Misadventures With My Ex (Misadventures #18) by Shayla Black Eryn Hope was left a shattered woman by Weston Quaid after he left her at the altar. Fast forward three years and everything is about to change and not necessarily for the better. Ms.Black had me from the first chapter, hook line and sinker; I really could not put this one down. Thanks to his family West was forced to walk away from the women he loved and now it seems that fate is about to play another game of chance with their lives. This is a second chance at love story with a twist. I really enjoy Shayla Black’s writing style and although there were times that I was frustrated, all in all I enjoyed this book. There was passion, love, angst, betrayal and forgiveness woven into the story line and I was anxious to see how it would all play out. Despite the years and the hurts of the past, passion and attraction still burns bright between West and Eryn, so much so that she contemplates giving him another chance. Can West and Eryn rebuild the love and trust they had or has it been shattered beyond repair? One click and find out.
