"Part road trip adventure and part love story, this gentle novel takes a minute to heat up but is eminently worth the wait." ~ Library Journal

Brooke Devereaux has a lot she wants to escape from: a career she never asked for, a future she doesn't want, and parents who've only ever seen her as a business opportunity. But in her desire to experience life, she quickly realizes she's lacking in one very important skill—how to survive on her own.

Former soldier Cole Timmons is an expert at running away. Whether it's from his rural hometown, alcoholic father, or painful memories, Cole doesn't hesitate to leave... Until he encounters an out-of-place woman at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. The wealthy "princess" couldn't be more different from the country loner, and the pair get off to a rocky and misadventurous start.

But sometimes exteriors are armors meant to deceive. Sometimes what's beneath reveals more than anyone ever realized. Sometimes, in order to stop running away, a person simply needs to find something to run toward.

*****
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.

      Cole Timmons, an army veteran on the road, helps an attractive stranger out of a sticky situation at a gas station during a long ride to Oregon. Brooke Alba's sarcastic yet wounded demeanor leaves Cole intrigued, and he becomes invested despite all logic telling him to cut ties. Brooke is a rising music star fleeing her suffocating life, and her parents, by striking out on her own; she finds unexpected safety in this burly cowboy with a silly side and a delicious Southern drawl. Cole knows he shouldn't get wrapped up in this high-maintenance stranger he nicknamed Princess, but his gut tells him there's something more to her story and to his feelings--and Cole's gut is always right. Slightly heavier on the romance than other "Misadventures" installments, Hayley's (I Hate You, I Love You) newest is a satisfying slow burn that ambitiously tackles characters reclaiming spontaneity and love while dealing with severe trauma. Readers will root for a happy ending and appreciate Brooke and Cole's ecstatic escapades on the road and in the bedroom. Those sensitive to depictions of violence and abuse should be aware that one scene involves Brooke being sexually harassed by a stranger and another describes past child abuse. VERDICT Part road trip adventure and part love story, this gentle novel takes a minute to heat up but is eminently worth the wait.
