About this ebook

Blake Monroe hasn’t had the easiest life, but she’s never been one to dwell on her misfortunes, preferring to see the world as a place where you get what you give.

Having had an especially troubling childhood, Blake’s aware she doesn’t exactly fit the definition of “normal.” Her lack of filter, dry sense of humor, and uncanny ability to read people make her rather unique—and difficult to live with. When her latest roommate has had enough of her antics, Blake decides living with a man might suit her better.

Gavin Gibson’s a dreamer whose artsy aspirations don’t meet the high expectations of his wealthy family. Cast off and cut off, Gavin needs a place to live. When he’s invited to share Blake’s quaint apartment, he cannot pass it up. With a knack for spotting the good in others, Gavin can see past Blake’s quirks—and neither of them can ignore their sexual chemistry.

As sparks fly, their genuine affection for each other grows, and Gavin begins to break down Blake’s defenses. But can Blake open up to reveal the damage she’s worked so hard to conceal?

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

Laugh out Loud quirky, quick whited, emotionally thrilling, action packed romantic adventure filled with passion, understanding and heartwarming good times. Blake Monroe is so not your average everyday anything.... she is quirky, outspoken, truthful to a fault and so unsure how to keep a relationship going. (or so she thinks) Gavin Gibson is sweet, charming, sexy and has an artistic soul that is not accepted by his family. He is also just the right kinda guy to slip under Blake's defenses and truly accept her as she is. (even adore her for her differences) They are so adorable and fun together and I also enjoyed their friends. Highly entertaining reading.

Misadventures is right! Blake is a wild card if ever there was one. Her unpredictable behavior, wildly inappropriate mouth, and lack of filtering thoughts and words makes her unforgettable. Unforgettable in more ways than one. Gavin isn't sure whether this happy dance for his despair is a good thing or a bad thing. One thing is certain, this is going to get interesting. This sweet opposites attract story is a perfect side for your penis shaped latte foam.

I believe this is the first book I have read by Elizabeth Hayley but I have read several of the Misadventure books and have really enjoyed them, so I thought I'd give this one a try. Gavin and Blake are made for each other, Blake is a little bit of a character, she says what she thinks no matter what the consequences may bring but taking Gavin on as a roommate when he finds himself needing to find a place on short notice will be an adventure all on its own.

About the author

Elizabeth Hayley is actually "Elizabeth" and "Hayley," two friends who love reading romance novels to obsessive levels. This mutual love prompted them to put their English degrees to good use by penning their own. The product is Pieces of Perfect, their debut novel. They learned a ton about one another through the process, like how they clearly share a brain and have a persistent need to text each other constantly (much to their husbands' chagrin).

"Elizabeth" lives with her husband, daughter, and nutjob of a dog. "Hayley" lives with her husband, son, and her own crazy dog. Thankfully, their children are still too young to read.

Elizabeth Hayley's writing motto is best captured by the words of Patrick Dennis: "I always start with a clean piece of paper and a dirty mind."
