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

Favorite Quotes: Groveling will help… Couldn’t stay married this long without eating a few slices of humble pie… Remember you’re wrong, she’s right, and it’ll always turn out in your favor. I’ve never been so present with someone. It probably had to do with the lack of distractions. No cell phones, television, or Internet makes focusing on each other inescapable. In the center is a king size bed made out of thick logs… “I made it myself.” Luke’s chest puffs out with pride… “I made sure its construction would stand up to rigorous use.” My Review: An LA girly-girl in transition as a recently betrayed, humiliated, and freshly divorced woman who is still smarting from being dumped by her first love/movie star husband. She treats herself to a month long mountain spa retreat where she happens across a hermit/mountain man/Greek god/sexy lumberjack/Former Decorated Navy SEAL, who lives quietly and off the grid to accommodate his PTSD and rippling muscles. Of course, they have off the charts sexual chemistry and set fire to the sheets like adolescent bunny rabbits. Oh my, the storyline was highly sensual, smokin’ hot, and highly likely to cause dehydration, even for a nun. There was a transformative, sweet, and curative love story evolving during and between all the erotic sex and I actually adored this couple together.

If there is one thing I know for sure in life it’s that there is nothing better than when two of your favorite authors team up to write a book together. Meredith Wild and Chelle Bliss never fail to deliver a story that is exceptionally written, with the perfect amount of steam, fire, and romantic connection. There stories never disappoint, and the same could be said for everything I got while reading Misadventures of a City Girl. I have loved so many books by both of these author’s, so when I found out they would be writing a novella together I was elated. Both of these authors have always delivered all-consuming reading experiences with their love stories, and Misadventures of a City Girl was no different. This book sent me and my heart into the best kind of tizzy. It made me blush and melt and just love every moment that these characters were sharing together. From start to finish this book consumed me to the point that I could not put it down, and it gave me the perfect quick read that had it all. What I loved about this book, besides the exceptional writing and storytelling of these authors, was getting to be in Luke and Madison’s heads. I loved those two something fierce. I loved that they were two seemingly opposite characters who had one helluva fiery connection. I loved that they pushed each other’s buttons in the best way. I loved that they just couldn’t fight what they were feeling, no matter how hard either of them might have tried. I loved that they took chances, I loved that they felt so real and genuine, I loved that I felt connected to them so truly through every word, and in the end I loved that this story gave me them. It gave me them at their best, their worst, and every high and low in between, and that is just part of what made me love them and their story so much. Misadventures of a City Girl follows Luke and Madison through their whirlwind romance, when a good ole country boy with a past that keeps him hidden, meets the city girl who will keep him on his toes. She has no idea what’s she’s doing in the middle of nowhere, and he wants nothing to do with the outside world, but when these two are together it’s pure unadulterated fire. What those two share will melt your heart…among other things, and will have you loving every bit you get of their story as they try to figure out what in the world they’re doing with one another. From start to finish this book did not disappoint. It made me laugh, it had me loving the connection I felt between these two, it gave both of these characters’ distinctive personalities that made me love them even more, and through it all it gave me the best kind of love story. This quick and fulfilling read was all kinds of phenomenal, and I truly can’t say enough good things about it! This book is perfect for you if you are looking for a quick read that will satisfy everything you want and need in a book! You will love Luke and Madison to pieces, and you will love getting to fall right along with them as this story unfolds.

This novella will show you all the juicy details of what happens when a country boy falls for a city girl, and every pulse pounding and blushworthy moment in between will have you loving every bit of what you’re reading! Trust me. Luke and Madison do not disappoint. One little bit.

Misadventures of a City Girl By: Meredith Wild & Chelle Bliss ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Review by Kristie K When a city girl meets a sexy mountain man, things get tense…in more ways than one. A sinful delight in every sense… Another fabulous partnership of two AMAZING authors brings to life a sinfully seductive tale where opposites definitely attract! When city girl Madison Atwood escapes her disaster of a hollywood life for a few much needed weeks of relaxation, she never expects to find herself in the arms of hunky mountain man Luke Dawson, who pushes ALL of her buttons. Their chemistry is off the charts, but their differences cause tension of a different type. Witty banter and pointless arguments abound as these two opposites try to find a middle ground. Their differences are what make them exceptional, and stokes the flames of their attraction. Steamy nights warm the mountain air as these two find their passion together, and the question of “when” quickly becomes “if” as they struggle to accept their seemingly inevitable separation. “I want to stay here in this moment forever. But I know that she’ll leave, and I’ll go back to who I was before I found her in the woods, bathed in moonlight and sin.” - Luke Dawson This was such a fun and entertaining read! I am a huge fan of both of these lovely ladies, and couldn’t wait to see what they brought me as they collaborated! I wasn’t disappointed. The plot and storyline were quirky and playful, while also delving into the very real issues a war veteran may face when returning to real life. The chemistry between these two was explosive, immediate, and so amazing to watch! Both Madison and Luke held a depth and realism that added to their appeal, and a level of authenticity that was refreshing. They were so easy to love, relate to, and adore. An amazing journey of the coming together of two different worlds, and the incredible love that comes from diversity. Loved it! Kristie K
