Every Misadventures book I have read, I have absolutely loved!
This story had to be be one of the sweetest I have read in awhile! I loved everything about Cole and Brooke. The way they met maybe a little different and weird in today’s day and age but their love is definitely not!
Just loved the change in Brooke at the end, made me say “You go GIRL!”.
How Cole finally was able to forgive and forget his past and realize he needed to live in the now.
This also was my first book I have read by Elizabeth Hayley and let me just say these ladies really hit it outta the park! I will definitely be a lifetime reader from here on out!!

The best part of this audiobook was that it was short and the male voice was narrated by Teddy Hamilton.

**Spoilers below**
Brooke is trying to get a lift somewhere/anywhere when Cole helps her but neither are fourth coming with the reasons for their trips.

While Cole is trying to get to see his army friend’s grave in Oregon, Brooke is escaping from her restrictive life and talent agent parents as a B level pop singer who doesn’t want to sign a new contract for a tour coming up.

Song the way, we get the one bed trope and they have sex (not the steamiest but enjoyable enough) and they go sightseeing on their way to Oregon.

When using a credit card for a spa trip for her and Cole, her family and body guard are alerted and come to bring her home. Cole, not thinking he’s enough for her now that he knows she’s famous, pushes her away and let’s her leave without a fight.

After performing her new song on a morning show, and before announcing a tour invite she received, Cole shows up, which gives her the confidence to decline the tour invite.

Such a sweet, heart-warming and cute story. Cole and Brooke are truly made for each other. The story is nothing different, yet has emotions flowing through out. Just fell in love with the leads and Mary Sue🤣.
Great job by the author.

Another Misadventure book with another couple that sticks to your heart.
Brooke wants to get away from the life that her parents build for her without asking her what she really wants from and with her life.Although some may think she has it all, she can't live that life anymore and find herself wanting to start a new life in another place where nobody knows her for her name or inheritance.
Cole is a country man that served in the army but now is also trying to get away and start a new life in other state far away from his past and family and it's a bit heartbreaking all his backstory and very understandable why he wants to leave it all behind.
After she gets to be alone and without a car in a gas station where he stops for gas and coffee ,although she is wary of him then realises that he doesn't know her so she could get on the road trip with him and what a road trip really. The authors have such a talent to describe a more than visual surroundings that I felt myself in the car with the couple.They get to know each other a little bit every day through their journey and it's full of funny moments,facts from their past and what they wish for their future,it's a slow burn love story filled with good banter and very real characters.
Another misadventures book and another new to me authors that won't be new in the future.

Name’s Cole, but I am fond of nicknames.

Cole is out of the army and needs to change in his life, what he didn’t expect was to run into a woman at a gas station in the middle of Kansas while on his way from Georgia to Oregon. Brooke is struggling in life and needed to get away from her overbearing family, she is stuck in Kansas, can’t get a car, when a handsome stranger comes to her rescue.

“You think I’m charming?” “I also said I think you might be the next Ted Bundy.” “I might also be Prince Charming.”

As the continued on their road trip, Cole wanted to know more about the mysterious Brooke. There was something about this girl that had him wanting more. The more time they spend on the road together, they more they start to let each other in. This was not only a road trip to a physical location but a road trip to a new life.

Sit back and enjoy the crazy, hilarious, and steamy ride that Elizabeth Hayley take you on with Cole and Brooke.

Wonderful new misadventures book! Overall it keeps the reader interested and the story flows. The main characters have great chemistry and there is plenty of heat. Cole is a country boy that’s traveling for a trip to see a friend and Brooke is a city girl that’s trying to get away from a situation she’d rather not deal with and fate brings them in each other’s path.

Alright, alright, alrightttttt. Cole and Brooke. Possibly my new favorite Misadventures couple. We’ve got two people running from what’s wrong in their lives and coming together to find what they were missing. We’ve got mystery, adventure, drama, and just an overall captivating mix.

Cole, our steamy main man, is fresh out of the Army, on a journey to visit his friend in Oregon, when he runs into Brooke at a gas station. Brooke, well, we don’t know much about Brooke, without spoiling the story that is. But, we do know she’s stranded without a car at the gas station where Cole stops for gas and coffee. Good guy Cole offers Brooke a ride, and so we embark on our journey.

Elizabeth Hayley is actually two women, Elizabeth and Hayley. They have such a unique writing style, as they write together, but the story flows seamlessly. I felt a connection to Brooke and Cole that I haven’t felt with the characters I’ve read about lately. Elizabeth Hayley made Brooke and Cole relatable to, in my opinion, anyone who has never felt whole or fulfilled, like they were missing something or just have never felt good enough. I’m sad to let Brooke and Cole go, but I cannot wait to continue on my Misadventures journey and get my hands on Elizabeth Hayley’s next installment in the series.

[I received a digital arc for an honest review]

Misadventures with a Cowboy by Elizabeth Haley is an enjoyable addition to The Misadventures' series of standalone novels.

Brooke is running away from the life her parents want for her. A life in the spotlight where every one will know her name. It's easier to jump on a bus and remove herself from the situation than tell her parents no. Stuck at a bus stop she finds herself throwing caution to the wind and accepting a ride from Cole. Ex soldier Cole, is the opposite of Brooke, he grew up feelings worthless and not mattering to no one and hopes someday he will mean something to someone. He is tired of feeling so alone and unimportant.

Brooke and Cole are enjoying their own little bubble of fun away from responsibilities and the lives they grew up with. Stopping at tourists attractions and taking in the sights along the way they slowly get to know each other. The make each other feel calm, safe and happy. It's not long before they cave to their carnal desires and then they can't seem to get their fill.

Sooner rather than later, the life Brooke is running from catches up to her. Cole has to figure out his place in life and a way to accept his worth. Brooke has to either stand up for herself or sacrifice her happiness.

Overall, Misadventures with a Cowboy by Elizabeth Haley was a quick fun read. Filled with steamy sex scenes, adventures, banter and honesty. This is my first Elizabeth Haley but I would be interested in reading more of her books.

"Cole’s laugh was deep with a hint of a rasp behind it. It was a genuine sound that made him, and the world, seem a little less frightening."

"He kissed her deeply again. The connection was raw and consuming, and Brooke couldn’t get enough of it."
