New Release: Misadventures with a Book Boyfriend by Victoria Bluetwo-half-stars

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Barenaked Words in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.

I have not read all of the Misadventures books, but I have enjoyed most of the ones I have read, so I was looking forward to this one. I did like Oliver’s story, but didn’t love it.

I found Oliver’s character entertaining, but had a hard time connecting to him. My reaction was similar to the other characters (Bailey and Skye) and to the relationships Oliver had with both women.

The premise of the story – that a “has been” model at 27 would create a business selling fantasies based on women’s favorite books was cute, but the execution fell short for me. The blurb hinted at a suspense element that I had been looking forward to, but seemed to be missing from the actual story.

Overall, this was an okay book. It was a quick read without any major errors and it ticks most of the boxes for “romance” requirements. The issue may be with me and not connecting with a new-to-me author’s style, so if this is a series you enjoy, please go for it.

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.
