Confession: I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about Misadventures of a City Girl when I started it. I was a bit afraid it would be more sex scenes than actual character development and storyline. I couldn't have been more wrong. This one surprised me quite a bit.

I'm a total sucker for a grumpy hero book and I love fish out of water reads, too. Misadventures of a City Girl was a great pairing of the two and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Both Madison and Luke were great characters, and more similar than I thought at first glance. They had crazy chemistry and the sexy times were smoking hot. Their connection went further than the bedroom, however, and I think I enjoyed that the most. I ended up with quite a few feels as a result of Luke's backstory and growth, too.

I loved the female narrator. Jennifer Mack is a new-to-me narrator and I really liked her style. It did take some time for the male narrator, Lance Greenfield, to grow on me. His gruff voice definitely worked for the character, but it was a little off-putting to me at times, too. (Namely during the sex scenes, so it might've been more about the things he was saying and not HOW the narrator was saying it.)

Misadventures of a City Girl was my first Meredith Wild AND Chelle Bliss book, the first I borrowed from the library via Hoopla AND my first time listening to each of these narrators. That's a lot of firsts for one book. Ha!
