Misadventures of a Good Wife

***2.5 Stars*** I’m not all too sure what happened with this one. It started out great. That first chapter caught my interest and I really enjoyed how it dove right into the heart of the story, but after that I just got...bored with it. I felt for Kate and understood Price’s reasons for faking his death, but something about their reunion and all that came after just didn’t give me the emotional gut punch I was looking for. The writing was seamless and the smexy was hot, but in the end, this one falls under the “it’s not you, it’s me” shelf for me. ~ Copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley & voluntarily reviewed ~

This second book in the Misadventures series started out with some steamy fun between Kate and Price and then, quickly got serious when Price's plane goes down. It was shortly after that when my issues with the story began. The biggest one for me, and the one I couldn't get past, was Kate's reaction when she first sees Price again. I realize that this is fiction, but it still has to make sense or the story starts to lose the reader. I can understand tears of joy and even some hugs and kisses when Kate realizes that Price is alive, but hot and steamy sexy time before she has any answers was a bit much. In fact, every time this story started to have some tension and build-up on the suspense angle, there was another steamy scene. Don't get me wrong, these two are seriously hot together and I have no problem with a sexy read, but it reached a point that it was one intimate scene after another with a little story thrown in. Sadly, that story could've been quite good on its own, but after page upon page of Kate pulling answers out of Price and then the back and forth about where they would go, it was hard to stay with it. The book does pick up in the last 25% or so, and there's plenty of action there as the tale reaches its conclusion, but the suspense side of this book could've been so much more.

Emotionally gripping, action packed, thrilling roller-coaster of a romantic adventure filled with danger, mystery and spine tingling twists. Kate and Price Lewis had the perfect life in a marriage that was filled with love and passion. Then in the blink of an eye Price is lost forever. (or is he) One year after he is presumed dead Kate is still just going through the motions of living and is shocked when Price's sister takes her on a remote vacation to reunite secretly with her dead husband. However the danger he is hiding from has followed his loving wife and they are on the run for their lives and future. Enjoyed every heart pounding twist and turn.
