This was good, a story of quick love. It didn't always hold my attention though and I think it was a little disjointed at time.

Oh how I love me a big burly mountain man!! Sexy romance. Amazing read/listen.
Loved the collaboration of these two authors. Great story of 2 broken souls connecting & finding love with each other. I liked how developed the characters were and their journey of discovering themselves as well as one another.
A whole lot of insta sex with very little story and really cringy dialogue. She's a recent divorcee and he's a reclusive veteran. He finds her out in the woods getting herself off in the water, the next day she accidentally walks right into his cabin where he is doing the same. Magical, parallel wanking. They get snowed in and spend time getting freaky in his cabin. That's pretty much the plot aside from some poorly executed drama and bar scenes. Lots of sex, some scenes written well, some not so much. Save yourself some time, read a review that talks about the story and then just skip through the book to the dirty parts.
The story was good up until 50%. There was a back-story and the two love interests were trying to make their way through hardships. But, after about 50% it started to get repetitive with love, no issues, and everything was good. But also some of the character choices didn’t make sense later in the book. There were some decisions made without consulting the partner and their reaction didn’t really match how the character’s personality was described and shown earlier in the book.
While it was a typical romance about a woman going dealing with betrayal and divorce, it was an entertaining read
**3.5 Stars**
Misadventures of a City Girl created a push-pull romance between complete opposites; her escaping the city and a failed marriage, him escaping the grid and all contact with people after the detriment caused by war. When weather forces them into his secluded cabin, and subsequently each other's arms, the battle to fight it arises between them.
The fluidity of writing this story as a duo of writers felt very natural as it was easy to believe it came from one mind and two hands. I enjoyed the romanticism behind Madison's escape from betrayal and in the irony of her falling into the capable hands of a man who is more suited for her, but that she's blind to see it. Luke's compassion exuded from him and led him into being very hero-like. Their chemistry was instant; an insta-lust connection that quickly spiraled into an inferno of passion.
Misadventures of a City Girl read like more erotica than erotic romance due to its minimal character development or depth to plot other than this being a very fantasy-like imagining. I did wish for more to their characters, more to the push and pulls than the erotic nature of their relationship as I could see the potential to their story from the very beginning. Luke's PTSD was a passing mention rather than a true character piece that, if actually used, would have been a very debilitating condition for him. I think it was a missed opportunity to explore something in him and in how she could've managed to be a support for him.
If you're looking for an erotic romance with intensely heated scenes, this is your story. It was very well done for that genre, and gives a reader exactly what they want. It was easy to feel the scenes and imagine the story as it played out from page to page. I wanted more, yes, but as it is written, it's a good, quick read that'll tick all of your boxes.
