Publisher's summary

"Such a great story about self-doubt and self-confidence, but most importantly loving yourself, inside and outside." ~Sharing My Book Boyfriends

For the first time in her life, Ireland Mills is happy with her body. No more fad diets, no more hiding from every camera in the room, no more low self-esteem. She’d rather be alone than with someone who’ll only love her if she’s skinny.

Caleb Carpenter and Ben Weber are everything Ireland and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce dreamed of when conceptualizing the “Real Kansas” promotional campaign. They’re handsome, young, educated, and totally dedicated to their small prairie town.

When Ireland’s Prius gets stuck on a Kansas dirt road and a massive storm rips through town, she’s left stranded with nowhere to turn but to Caleb and Ben. These two hunky country boys are impossible to ignore, but could they ever be interested in her as well?

Caleb and Ben are more than interested…and they’re willing to share. After their first night together, they know this has to be more than a one-time thing. They need to make her theirs forever. But can they convince Ireland they love her, curves and all?

****

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 listen, a ‘quick blush’ for the listener who loves a pause-resisting romance.

A ronchy fantasy come true

Right away the story gets into vulgar description of sexual thoughts brought to life within 24 hours. If you're looking for a quick smutty book this story of a voluptuous young woman being desired by two gorgeous striking men is right up your alley.

Outstanding

I've read this book before and picked up the audiobook on sale. Much as I loved it in print, the narration really brought it to life.

I'm normally not a fan of characters who engage in a lot of negative self-talk, but in this book it's handled differently, and in a very good way. It illustrates that even for someone who has done a good job of maintaining body positivity, decades of hurt can rear their ugly head at any time and pull you down temporarily. Ben's realization that you don't have to be perfectly fixed all of the time, that you can have good days and bad days and that's ok, is the lesson that Ireland needed to take home, and she eventually did.

I also adored Caleb's description of how he realized that soft, plump, curvy women were what he found attractive, and that it shouldn't be treated as a kink or a fetish.

And if course, having it all wrapped up in Sierra Simone's exceptional and sensual wordcraft is just icing on the cake. This book, both in print and on audio, is another true gem.

“Living your life is a radical act”

“Not because it makes you feel good but because it helps change the world. Do you see? Even just living your life is a radical act. That is body positivity. That is what matters, not an emotion that can change at the drop of a hat.”

Naturally you would assume that this formulaic series written by many and varied authors would be simply great sexy-times entertainment but under the pen of Sierra Simone this particular story was not only irresistibly erotic, but examined the harm we do to ourselves and each other for callous and needless shaming over flaws or deviations from what general society…or more accurately… what advertisers tell us is beautiful.

Ireland was a likeable and relatable character who is “curvy” which is a lovely way to refer to a larger “Rubenesque-size” woman. She has dumped her manipulative and self-centered boyfriend because he acted like being with her was a sacrifice of some sort and that she should be grateful that someone like her even had a boyfriend. Her sister kept telling her if only she wasn’t so lazy, hungry, out of control, undisciplined and on and on… It was, of course, her own fault. Aside from this cruel treatment was the negative inner dialogue constantly streaming through her head and her sensitivity to any insult real and perceived. Quite frankly, she had had enough.

We find her on a work assignment when she eventually encounters the two men Ben and Caleb in a rural small town in the Midwest. Both of these men have loved, since boyhood, the women delightfully nude with all their fleshy curves on display in the paintings in their art history books. You know…the ones done by Peter Paul Rubens in the 1600’s. IOW they were attracted to Ireland not only with her gorgeous figure but also for her beauty and sassy city-girl spunk. Both of these men could be cover models on a magazine. Ben is a returning war veteran who has lingering issues with PTSD. Both of these men are in love with each other and have been for a long time but they also love to be a 3 and have been in the past.

The story is told from the three points of view. We experience Ireland’s joy and her abject humiliation, her hurt, her acceptance and her forgiveness. Through the character of Ben, we are given a glimpse into the mindset who someone with PTSD may have and the challenges they face on a daily basis. We experience the strength and stable hand of the man who loves his two less whole partners.

Now…we are talking about a lovely ménage here in the hands of Sierra Simone so you know the eroticism is real and “off the chain” good. I mean really good.

Anyone who has issues with their outward appearance could relate to Ireland, even those of us with even simple insecurities. And it is perfectly natural to have insecurities…we just cannot let them get in the way of what we want or need to do. When we lack confidence, “a fake it until you make it” attitude goes a long way.

This book also reminded me that in this day and age of social media. It is so easy to sit back and nit pick and be negative about anything and everything we see and read. Ask yourself this… Is what you’re saying going to make things better for anyone at the expense of injuring someone by your leveling of casual criticism and by what right, license or credential can you pass the judgement you’re making?

Conversely, someone’s shallow comment online is not always made for the purpose it was intended. Don’t base your life’s decisions on what other people think.

If you like sexy and erotic reads or listens with substance then this is must read or listen for you. It is truly worth your time.

Favorite quotes:
“There’s something about having a six-foot-plus, square-jawed, dark-eyed soldier yank you up to his bed that makes a girl eager.”

“People aren’t just one thing. People aren’t just confident and then that’s it, there’s nothing that can dent that confidence. People aren’t just brave and then free from fear their entire lives. We exist in tangles of virtue and weakness simultaneously—we are the best and worst of ourselves all at the same time.”

“I don’t love you in spite of your body. I love you with it, as you are, and I’ll never be anything but [bleeping] proud to be yours.”

Powerful and Empowering

I loved this book and recommend it highly to anyone who enjoys a non-traditional, erotic, inclusive romance. I wish I would have been able to read this book 20 years ago. This book triggered a lot of emotions in me and helped me to understand that everyone deserves to be loved and to love, consensually, whomever and however they choose.

Sierra can do no wrong!

The Bronte Sister of smut strikes again!!! This little book packed a major punch. It was pure FIYAH!!!!
I don’t think Sierra Simone can do any wrong. Whatever she writes, I’ll read!

I went in blind, so I was pleasantly surprised with the direction of the plot. It was insta-everything, which I love love love. Caleb, Ireland, and Ben are fantastic. She insecure and adorable. They are both sweet, lovable, and possessive. The combination of her insecurities and their possessiveness was “such a cute story”. I loved reading this book. Seeing Ireland grow and become more comfortable in her body. Seeing how Ben and Caleb’s relationship develops into what it was meant to be, like the missing piece makes it perfect.

The overal point of the story, be kind and comfortable in your skin. Size doesn’t matter. Every woman is beautiful regardless of body type or size. We are all “beautiful and perfect.” My heart hurt for Ireland during parts of the story, but her men are quick to comfort and support her.

It’s hot, sexy, and a meaningful little story. I highly recommend it to all!

I don't even know where to start with this book...

I don't even know where to start with this book. It never ceases to amaze me how Sierra Simone takes kink and makes it sexy AND emotional. The way that she crafted Ireland, Ben, and Caleb as fully fleshed characters is masterful. I also really enjoyed how she turned the traditional small town setting on its head. But the way she deals with fat shaming, cyberbullies, PTSD, and self image in this book is absolutely beautiful and touching and amazing. And the steamy bits are EVERYTHING. If you've read her Camelot series you may feel a bit like me after reading this and wish that there was just a touch more MMF mixed in with the MFM (I was waiting with bated breath for some Ethan/Ash-like action, but never got any), but other than that, MA of a Curvy Girl is A+. 5 out of 5 wine glasses.
