Miss Adventure
Ratings1
Average rating2
When a freak fast-food accident almost kills dayreaming city girl Lisa Flyte, she decides it's time to get a backbone and really start living out loud. But how is Lisa supposed to get tough all of a sudden? Jack Hawkins, that's how. When Lisa finds out that the outdoor extremist needs a clueless urbanite to test his top-secret line of idiot-proof adventure gear, she gets the most outlandish idea of her life: she will be his undercover test dummy if he helps her become brave on their adventures in the wild. They strike a deal. Lisa survives the treks, jumps, and dives (barely ) But can she use her bumbling...uh, blossoming outdoor moxie to become the alpha hero of her everyday life? Will she find the grit to pursue a career she really wants or the nerve to stand up to her bullying family? And will she get gutsy enough to go after Jack? He's a man who's not afraid of anything...except maybe falling for Lisa. Miss Adventure has been previously published as She Likes It Tough and She Likes It Rough by GVR Corcillo.

Really difficult to rate, especially since I did not finish, so this review is based on the first 47 %.
Big turn-off: POV is first person, present. NOT my cup of tea.
Still, I gave it a try.
At first, I thought I might like it - the rappelling scene was hilarious!
But Jack remained an arrogant prick (does he change in the second half of the story?), and I felt really bad for Lisa, having to deal with her horrible family (who didn't seem to get any redeeming qualities while the story progressed - does this get better in the second half?) and everything.
Having read other stories by Geralyn Corcillo, and reallyreally liked them, I will still read her other books. Sad to say, this one was not for me.
