Synopsis

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.
Review: Rating: 1 out of 5 stars
I hate it when the blurb and the story don't match. The blurb pretty much spoils the whole story for one. The line "The clock is ticking, and the political scandal is growing." does not match what I read since Oliver has no idea of what is going on and his is the only one who is telling the story. The book is not even about him and Bailey. It's a bunch of things thrown together. I was even questioning if he was going to end up with Bailey or his roommate because there wasn't a clear direction of where the book was heading. On one hand, we had Bailey whose husband died and is focused on not growing the scandal and on the other Skye was throwing tantrums and acting like a jealous woman, so I had no idea if Bailey was actually going to be the one for him. I was going to give two stars to the book, but when I went back and read the blurb, I felt even more cheated.  Oliver lacks any kind of personality. If you ask me to describe to you what a stereotypical male model is like Oliver will be my example. I feel like I am insulting the male models now and that wasn't my intention. And he might pretend that he is a book boyfriend but he is not book boyfriend material.  I wish I had known that Oliver is an escort. I was sold on the idea of him pretending to be a book boyfriend, but I feel like I got a gigolo instead. It's like ordering dresses online from a dubious source. What you pictured and what you got are two completely different things. Did we really need a gigolo who actually sleeps with other women after he meets "his lady" when the book is not even 200 pages long? I was so annoyed with everything else going on in the book that I wasn't even bothered by the cheating. And I am always bothered when someone cheats. Oliver was also ok with it.  If the book had focused on one thing I would have been happy. We had Oliver's business, the woman that was helping him with his business, whatever was going on with Skye and the part of the book where Oliver and Bailey are supposed to be a convincing couple. I am a huge fan of the misadventure series, but this one was a hard miss. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
