About this ebook

Straitlaced freshman Zooey Cartwright has arrived at UCLA determined to have a heck of a lot more fun in college than she did in high school. What’s the first item on Zooey’s agenda before classes start in two days? Losing her pesky V card. She’s definitely not looking for a boyfriend, so where can Zooey find the right guy to do the deed and move along without a backward glance? At a party thrown by a bunch of football players, of course. 

Enter Tyler Caldwell. A beast on the field and off, cocky as heck, and often wearing T-shirts with sayings like “God’s Gift to Womankind,” Tyler is most definitely not boyfriend material.

After a make-out session with Tyler leaves Zooey entirely unsatisfied, she is determined never to see him again. But her schedule lands her in not one but two of his classes, and it doesn’t take long before Tyler and Zooey have reached an arrangement for Tyler to teach Zooey exactly what she wants to know―and a whole lot more she never bargained for. Can Zooey surrender her body to this bad boy without giving him her heart, too?

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.

Ratings and reviews

I am literally bursting with LOVE for this book! It was like the merging of all of my favorite things into one story. From the songs/music highlighted (Harvey Danger, George Michael, to the musical Wicked), the pop culture references, and to the fantastic location at UCLA - it was pure perfection from start to finish. There were times while reading that I thought that the author was inside my head. Lauren Rowe and I are clearly twinsies. Misadventures of a College Girl was such an awesome new adult/college sports romance. It was fun, sweet, and so sexy. Tyler may have come across initially as a cocky douchebag, but it was his vulnerability, drive, and thoughtfulness that won me over. I really enjoyed the playful banter and innuendo between him and Zooey and that she didn't let his charm turn her into a swooning fangirl - well, at least not all the time. ;) Their meet cute may have leaned more to the lust driven side than cute, but what ended up developing between them was organic and natural. I loved that there wasn't any unnecessary drama and that the story focused on Tyler and Zooey. The obstacles they face are realistic and honest. I respected both characters immensely for not letting their dreams fall by the wayside and for being true to themselves. This modern day Romeo and Juliet story will have you laughing and swooning. I could not have had a bigger smile on my face and a happier heart when I finished. Can't recommend this book enough! ps - ABSOLUTELY LOVED the author's note at the end! #BruinsForever A Trojan is only good once, but a Bruin is FOREVER!!

If I could give this more than 5 stars I would! I loved this story and even more I loved Tyler!!! I hate to cry with books but there were so many times I was choking down tears while reading this. I enjoyed the building relationship between Zooey and Tyler so much! I would love if Tyler's teammates had their own books. I am so glad I read this story it is one of the best I have read in a long time.

OBSESSED!! I am completely and irrevocably obsessed with Misadventures of a College Girl. So sexy. So sweet. So ridiculously funny. When a book has me up cackling at one in the morning, you know it's fanfreakingtastic!!! Zooey and Tyler, are EVERYTHING!!! I absolutely adore Zooey. She's sassy, honest, and could really hold her own. And Tyler - be still my heart - I just flat out LOVED him. He gave me some serious Keane Morgan vibes. If you know me, you know that I love me some Peenie Morgan. The chemistry between Zo and Tyler is off the charts!! It's perfection!!! I could not get enough of their banter and playful back and forth! I wished I had more. I had so much fun reading this book!! Misadventures of a College Girl goes straight into the must read again pile. I won’t be surprised if Tyler and Zooey end up on my end up on my top reads of 2018 list!! I highly highly HIGHLY recommend picking this book up.
