"An amazing, outstanding, all consuming, addicting and downright SEXY read!" ~Sassy Little Book Nerd

A washed-up model at the age of 27, Oliver Connely has gone from being a household name to barely making the rent. It's time to think fast—and cash in big—with a can't-miss idea inspired by the passion he sees in a handful of romance novel fans. Book Boyfriend Incorporated is born.

Can't. Miss.

Right?

Except for the unexpected glitches Oliver's business plan doesn't cover—like falling for one of his "lonely lady" clients, Bailey Hardin, a politician's wife who's as smart and loyal as she is beautiful and sexy. Their chemistry, instant and scorching, is already a problem—but when Bailey's husband turns up dead, the pair quickly learns they're facing more than a simple PR nightmare.

The mess intensifies when Oliver's best friend decides to put a bid in for the freshly vacated city manager position, ensuring Oliver is now caught between his longtime best friend and his new ladylove. The clock is ticking, and the political scandal is growing. Tough decisions must be made—especially because, for the first time in Oliver's life, matters of his heart are on the line.

*****
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.

      Starred review from March 1, 2019

      Struggling model Oliver Connely is trying to make the best of a less-than-ideal situation--namely, the lack of jobs coming down the pipeline. Inspiration strikes when he overhears a poolside clique of older women effuse about their "book boyfriends"--powerful, wealthy, sexy men whose eccentric behavior and irresistible allure could only be the work of fiction. Oliver dreams up a companionship service, Book Boyfriend, Inc., to fulfill these fantasies. His first session with enigmatic brunette Bailey, aka Melanie, blossoms into something more, and soon Oliver is even throwing around the "L" word--but drama ensues as details of Bailey's personal life are revealed to entwine with his best friend Skye's professional aspirations. Soon, Oliver finds himself stuck painfully in the middle of a political battle between girlfriend and best friend. Oliver is not presented as mature or likable at the novel's outset; however, Blue (No Curtain Call) imbues him with a spare yet weighty backstory that clarifies some of the model's harsher qualities and builds sympathy with the audience. Readers will delight in cocky yet fretful Oliver experiencing growth as he dives headfirst into his creative challenge; the metanarrative of a romance character learning how to "play" the part (and falling in love with reading in the process) is delightful. Assumed negative perceptions of escorting may dampen the enjoyment of Oliver's steamy sex sessions for some readers. VERDICT This latest entry in the "Misadventures" series posits a gentle premise that veers quite sharply into political drama, while remaining consistently sexy throughout. Recommended.
