***MISADVENTURES ARE STANDALONE ROMANCES THAT CAN BE READ IN ANY ORDER***
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.

REVIEW: Misadventures with a Country Boy begins with Cole Timmons on a cross-country trip to Oregon to see his best friend, Jimmy. He’s trying to put as much distance between himself and his hometown in Georgia. He thought after he got out of the Army that things would be different, but they weren’t. He makes a stop at a gas station along the way and encounters a young woman seemingly in need of help, or, at least a ride.
Brooke Devereaux is in a hurry to get to…….well, she doesn’t quite know where. All she knows is that she wants to get as far away from Pennsylvania as she can. When she encounters a stranger at a gas station in Kansas who offers to help, she is immediately wary, but he doesn’t seem to recognizer her, which is a plus. Add to that he’s headed west, and the fact that she needs a ride, and she reluctantly accepts his offer. What begins as a guarded friendship eventually turns into a tentative friendship. Cole seems to be a good guy, but Brooke knows that can just be for show. He also seems to have some secrets himself, and that suits Brooke just fine. However, when secrets are revealed and withheld facts come to light, will the two of them do what they do best and run? Or with they have the courage to stand up to the road blocks in their lives?
Misadventures with a Country Boy is the second book I’ve read in the Misadventures series. It is nicely written and the characters are engaging. Yes, there was instant attraction, but the story was about more than that. Brooke was a bit naïve, but through no fault of her own. Her parents’ hold on her will leave you seething and will explain why she ran. Cole’s backstory? Absolutely heartbreaking. But, his meeting when his best friend, Jimmy, will leave you in a puddle of tears. Once he realizes that he’s been running from pretty much everything and everyone his whole life, he knows just what he has to do…….thanks to Jimmy. This is the first I’ve read by Elizabeth Hayley, but has made me interested in seeing what else she has. If you’re a contemporary romance fan, you’ll enjoy this one. Well done, Elizabeth Hayley!

Elizabeth Hayley is actually “Elizabeth” and “Hayley,” two friends who love reading romance novels to obsessive levels. This mutual love prompted them to put their English degrees to good use by penning their own. They learned a ton about each other through the process, like how they clearly share a brain and have a persistent need to text each other constantly. They live with their husbands and kids in a Philadelphia suburb. Thankfully, their children are still too young to read.
