LOVED, LOVED, LOVED!!!
My heart is so full!! It’s bursting with love and happiness and hope and all the sweetness and swoony goodness!
Is this now my favorite of the series?
It just might be!!
I’ve got some serious mad love for Caleb & Daisy, I couldn’t love them any more if I tried. Ms. Bondurant knocked it out of the park with this book. Why? For so many reasons.
Is it because it’s so beautifully written? Yes!
Maybe because it’s a wonderful, feel-good, heartwarming story?
Definitely yes.
Could it be because I saw a little bit of my son in Caleb, and caught a possible glimpse into the future? BIG yes. Is it because the author handled certain topics with love and care and a tenderness they deserved? Without a doubt, yes.
Caleb is such a complex yet highly lovable character. He’s full of so much love to give, but he grew up feeling unworthy, flawed, less than.
And Daisy…*sigh*… I have the biggest girl crush right now. She is absolutely perfect. I knew I loved her in the previous books, but now, getting to know her up close & personal…I have fallen even harder for her. She’s smart and patient and kind and giving. Exactly what Caleb needs.
Watching these two together was a beautiful thing. They are ADORABLE together. Even though Caleb could be a handful, obsessive, and blunt, Daisy wouldn’t change a thing. She couldn’t help but be drawn to him. She fell for the man she knows he is. She SEES him. And she wants all of him.
This story hit me with all the feels in all the right places. So many emotional moments pulled at the heartstrings and many had me tearing up. It has humor, it’s got steam, and it has so. much. heart.
Have I mentioned how much I loved this book?
It’s SO GOOD.
When I was finished, I wanted to go back to the beginning and start all over again.
Have I mentioned Daisy is an Iowa girl? She is! To read an amazing story, and then have some Iowa tidbits thrown in there made this book that much more enjoyable. There’s talk of sweet corn and the Iowa State Fair - what perfect timing because it’s sweet corn season and the fair starts next week!!
Another fabulous, well-written story in this series!
I cannot wait for the next two books!!
My heart is so full!! It’s bursting with love and happiness and hope and all the sweetness and swoony goodness!

5 SMOOCHES
I’ve read everything she has written Aubrey Bondurant has written, and I’m a huge fan of hers. She describes her writing as adult contemporary erotic romantic comedy—I call it smutty chick-lit—but whatever anyone calls it, her stories are engaging, smart and witty. These are the kinds of stories that immediately draw the reader in with endearing characters, charming details, and a sexy love story. I’ve said it time and time again, Aubrey Bondurant is a not-to-be-missed indie author that every contemporary romance fan needs to be reading. If her books aren’t already on your TBR, they need to be.
I loved Caleb and Daisy so much. They both have been dealt some challenges in their lives, and in that respect, they were well matched. Daisy was so patient with Caleb and his “quirks” because she was coming from a place of understanding herself. She gently guided him towards happiness in everything they did, and her kind and easy-going manner was a balm to Caleb’s self-imposed loneliness. They both just wanted to be accepted for who they were, and in each other, they ultimately found that. The attraction they had to each other was explosive, and I loved how Daisy was able to draw out Caleb’s softer, more vulnerable side.
Miss Fortune was full of genuine heart-tugging emotion, and this well written, richly developed story grabbed my attention from the first page. Caleb and Daisy’s love story was sweet and steamy, with real emotional challenges and I was rooting for this couple from the start. An absolutely addicting story, I devoured this book in a day, and I’m so excited for the next book in the series. Five smooches from me for Miss Fortune by Aubrey Bondurant!

I’m loving everything about this Miss Series and with every book I pick up I find myself saying this is my favourite so far well this time I think and Bondurant is going to find it hard to top Caleb and Daisy’s story. This is one of those reads where you find yourself shaking your head and wanting to bang this stubborn couples heads together and then you find yourself falling hook, line and sinker as you see their softer side and their vulnerability.
Crossing the line with your boss is a risk but the attraction and the chemistry keeps drawing these two together, problem is they have both built walls around themselves in order to protect their feelings. Opposites in many ways but Daisy is the light in Caleb’s darkness so will his secrets destroy them or will they pull together and become stronger……
This book touched me on so many levels, it’s beautifully written, it’s sweet yet steamy, it’s emotional yet entertaining, it will tug on your heartstrings and it will make you smile but more importantly it will have you wishing and hoping this couple get the HEA they both so deserve.
Great addition to this wonderful series.

5 star Review Miss Fortune (Miss Series # 5) by Aubrey Bondurant
I was excited to read Miss Fortune. I love Ms.Bondurant’s writing style and I couldn’t want to see what she had in store for Caleb Morrison and Daisy Wilson.
There were times that Caleb and Daisy had me shaking my head; they were both stubborn and determined, yet vulnerable. This is an office romance and these two could not have been more different and that in itself made for an entertaining read.
Despite themselves they are both attracted to one another even though they know that they should not cross the line, particularly since he is her boss. The push and pull of their relationship as walls were built and then crumbled made for an enjoyable read. Both Caleb and Daisy grew throughout this story and I was cheering for them to get their happily ever after.
This is a beautifully written, sweet, steamy heart warming read. So why not one click it now.

Rating 2.5 stars
Daisy really saved the book. She is a well-rounded and compelling character. She had a heart transplant before moving to California. She was seen in the previous book in this series and in her book is expanded upon outside of what we knew in the best way. She is a free spirit who ends up falling for opposite. Caleb for me was a very flat character. He suffers from a form of Aspergers and as a reader I knew really early on but it was revealed in the last half of the book. There wasn't much pushing these two together. They spent their weekends together and lived a rather simple non-relationship-relationship. I guess I didn't really feel the tension between them when reading their story.
I think maybe it is because their worlds didn't collide as much as the previous books did. There is one scene in which previous characters interact with both Daisy and Caleb together but for the most part they live their separate lives. The part where they end up becoming parents ot Tabitha's son is well written and sensitive to mother's.
This book was okay for the most part, not my favorite of the series.

Sweet. I identified a lot with Daisy. However it was lacking whatever fire made it so I couldn’t put down its predecessors.

Loved this book, the story the characters and I loved how we still have characters from previous book included. Moving on to Kelsey story after her move to LA

I absolutely loved this book. Daisy and Caleb have pushed their way to the top of my favourite couples list in this series. Both stick to their true selves and as a couple they accept each other for who they are - quirks and all. Definitely one to recommend and re read !!

Compared to the other books in this series I thought this was a bit of a let down. In this addition we follow Caleb Morrison, a divorce lawyer, and Daisy Wilson. Daisy is filling in as Caleb's assistant while his original assistant (who is one of Daisy's family friends) recovers from a knee surgery. Overall I would say this book is missing something and is a bit boring. I skimmed through a lot of this because the relationship building wasn't fun, interesting, or believable to me. I think this would have benefitted a lot from at least having a few cute tropes thrown in, after all that's why I like this type of romance novel. Without any cute tropes or really any interesting drama this whole story felt really lackluster.
For example, when I look back on the story I can barely remember it and can't think of any part that stuck out to me as something I liked. I did read the whole story, which is a good sign, but this wasn't memorable in any way. Daisy and Caleb both have their health issues, which I thought was interesting, but both were barely mentioned. Especially Caleb's disorder.
~Spoilers Ahead~
We finally are told about Caleb's disorder towards the very end of the book and it honestly was perfectly fine and wasn't a big deal at all. Caleb has ASD, which I admittedly know very little about, but when the "big reveal" happened he basically just explained he thrives with routines and likes things clean and extremely organized. I didn't feel like Caleb had any substantial struggles portrayed that weren't glossed over.
Another thing part I didn't enjoy was that Caleb and Daisy end up adopting his ex-hook ups child. It was a super bizarre situation (which I knew was going to happen as soon as they started watching the baby), but my only complaint isn't just that it was unrealistic. I simply think it's odd that they would adopt this child from a women who was absolutely terrible at the beginning of the story and was sort of the "other women" in a way. (Not actually since Caleb and Tabitha were completely over when Daisy came into the picture, but that was the overall vibe of Tabitha's character).
Also, I have no idea if Caleb and Daisy got married. It's never addressed, unless it was so small I missed it. The two move with each other and then instantly adopt the baby. Then the epilogue is Caleb, Daisy and the rest of their adopted children. I guess I didn't love that this wasn't a traditional HEA focused on the two main characters. The HEA in this was when they adopted the baby...
I think I will stick around for Kelsey's story in the next book, but I think my expectations will be lowered a bit.

Rating: 5 “totally in love with this book” Stars
Insert awwwwwing gif here. Are you in the mood for a super cute and definitely sweet romance with a side of sexy? Miss Fortune will tick all your boxes.
Caleb and Daisy seem like complete opposites on paper, and even though opposites do attract (and boy do they!) it’s when they start to get to know each other that their connection becomes impossible to resist.
We’ve met Daisy as the sweet neighbor who takes care of Penny in Miss Trust. Getting to know her was a joy, as she is a really wonderful human being. With Caleb, I spent the first 10% of the book scratching my head, not quite knowing what to make of him, but the rest was all wanting to hug him real hard.
Although it’s not like there’s this great mystery at stake, we do need to get to know both characters and what they went through to understand them. As I don’t want to spoil that journey for anyone, all I will say is that I absolutely adored this story. It’s sweet, with two very caring individuals. It has sass and sexiness and not a small amount of humor. It gave me all the feels and I never wanted it to end.
I loved every second of Miss Fortune and I can’t wait for the next couple to get their own HEA. Ms. Bondurant has definitely become a one-click author to me.

Looks can be deceiving…
This story was absolutely bloody awesome. I am a BIG fan of stories that remind me to look past my own nose and make better decisions. Not everything you see is what it seems. A beautiful face can be attached to a scarred body. A fit and healthy body can house a struggling mind. A scarred face can have a perfect body. A body with physical issues can house a brilliant mind. Every one of us is different and I loved this friendly reminder to not judge a book by its cover.
Caleb and Daisy were absolutely bloody awesome characters and I loved seeing them grow throughout the story. This couple's emotional ups and downs showed their capacity to confront their issues and discuss their ideal outcomes. I think Aubrey Bondurant did a beautiful job of showing the romanticism of a couple who truly care if their partner is hurting. Even when one of them inflicted the hurt, they were always quick to take ownership of their wrongdoing. Getting their inner thoughts helped me to understand how they came to make the (wrong) decision.
Miss Fortune is the kind of story that I find extremely hard to put down. I was completely invested in this couple and was desperate to see them find their happiness together. I do not want to elaborate too much, because I think the reader will appreciate the pace the author delivers us the characters. I'm glad I didn't know beforehand who was beautifully scarred, fit, healthy, struggling mentally or physically challenged. The perfection of these characters is in the imperfections.
If I could convince you to try an Aubrey Bondurant, I think this might be the one I would recommend. Sure, it is part of a series, but fortunately, they are standalone with just a fleeting glimpse of some of the characters from previous books. I might be a touch bias, but I think all of the books in this series are great. If you are a fan of office romances, I definitely recommend trying the Miss series.

The dating apps, are out for, Daisy. Because, the last five single men have had no, manners or etiquette. She's done, with online dating along, with blind dates, for sure. She prefers a more organic, approach. She is taking, Toby a little boy she sits for, who has autism, to his mom, a nurse, who needed to pull, a double.
The thing is today's routine for, Toby is out of sorts. Daisy has a meeting, it's raining in Southern California, and it's bumper-to-bumper traffic. Causing it, to be an extremely long time, on the road. At six years old, for any child in a car seat, it's hard, but for one with a disability, it can be torture. So, when he lets out, a blood-curdling scream, Daisy naturally turns, to check.
The thing is, in that split second, at about five miles per hour, the person ahead of her, stops. She, of course, pulls over with the other driver, she retrieves all paperwork, to exchange, and gets out to soothe, Toby. Now, unless you have been around any children, you can’t begin to find empathy enough for Toby’s situation or Daisy's. Yah! Daisy.
A perfect example is the other driver, who gets out and comes, over. She is like a yapping, Chihuahua. Asking, Daisy, ‘What the hell is wrong, with him? Isn’t he too old, to have fits?’ and ‘What kind of mother, allows this?’ Daisy doesn't bother, to explain his disability, to her she is too, self-absorbed. When a gorgeous man, comes up behind her saying, ‘Tabitha! You may go back, into the car.’
It seems, he did not care, for the things, she said. He asks if she and, Toby are alright, and she says, yes. She hands over her info, to take pics of, she then gets in the back seat holding, Toby's hand, singing, ‘You are my sunshine.’ When he calms down, she introduces herself. Turns out his name, is Caleb.
She tells him she would really like, to talk to him more, but she needs to get, Toby to his mom before, an appointment. Guess who her appointment, is with? Yup! It is with, Caleb attorney at law. Her nan’s friend, Doris is having surgery, and asked, Daisy, to fill in for her, with Caleb.
Love this series, so much. These women are, ‘kick a$$’ and funny, as hell. I love how the author highlights disabilities, or illnesses, and shows how people, can live fulfilled lives. Not always easy, but really who has, it easy?

A perfect example is the other driver, who gets out and comes, over. She is like a yapping, Chihuahua. Asking, Daisy, ‘What the hell is wrong, with him? Isn’t he too old, to have fits?’ and ‘What kind of mother, allows this?’ Daisy doesn't bother, to explain his disability, to her she is too, self-absorbed. When a gorgeous man, comes up behind her saying, ‘Tabitha! You may go back, into the car.’
It seems, he did not care, for the things, she said. He asks if she and, Toby are alright, and she says, yes. She hands over her info, to take pics of, she then gets in the back seat holding, Toby's hand, singing, ‘You are my sunshine.’ When he calms down, she introduces herself. Turns out his name, is Caleb.
She tells him she would really like, to talk to him more, but she needs to get, Toby to his mom before, an appointment. Guess who her appointment, is with? Yup! It is with, Caleb attorney at law. Her nan’s friend, Doris is having surgery, and asked, Daisy, to fill in for her, with Caleb.
Love this series, so much. These women are, ‘kick a$$’ and funny, as hell. I love how the author highlights disabilities, or illnesses, and shows how people, can live fulfilled lives. Not always easy, but really who has, it easy?

Daisy's story is here! She was friends with Tori in Miss Trust which was Tori and Chance's story. They are Daisy's good friends who live in LA too and Chance's sister Kelsey. Daisy's story was a bit different than I was expecting but I absolutely loved it. Daisy was a total hoot and I adored every curvy inch of her in this book.
On paper this book is about two people who are very attracted to each other. One is the boss, Caleb and the other is his new temp assistant. But its not your typical at work romance because Caleb doesn't really have the power in this relationship because Daisy doesn't need the job.
Doris is Caleb's assistant and she asks her friend Daisy to take her place while she has surgery. Its a personal favor as Daisy does not need to work at all. She is just there because she is close to Doris.
Caleb is a lawyer with a disability (I can't say what because that might be a spoiler). Very high functioning and so most people just think he is not social and grumpy. He is also divorced and feels marriage is not for him and children are definitely not his future.
Daisy is recovered from a transplant and she is very wealthy and so she wants to explore and enjoy life. But finding a man to date is very complicated. Enter Caleb who offers friendship. Though he lusts after her, he feels they want very different futures.
I loved the writing and the characters in the story. It was a book I could not put down and I could not turn the pages fast enough. It easily stands alone and I really liked it.
Near the end there is a BIG plot twist and at first I did not love it but when it was over it made me love the book even more. I am also really excited about the next two books in the series.
This was a really wonderfully written story about two main characters that find love thru a friendship but who are not perfect and come with some imperfections but together their imperfections make them perfect for each other. I think this and Miss Trust are my two favorite books in the series.
I received a complimentary early release copy of this e-book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

If you are looking for a romance that is swoon worthy, sweet and has some heat, this book is just what you are looking for. I thought Daisy and Caleb's story was incredibly beautiful. This duo had me falling for them as they fell for each other. Rich with honest emotion and genuineness, this story will capture your heart quite easily while keeping you completely entertained. The chemistry and sparks are evident as this opposites attract romance unfolds. These characters are layered and have some uniqueness to them which helps make their story feel fresh. Humor, emotion and heart are plentiful and the addition of drama, a touch of angst and some twists makes sure your attention and interest never waiver. The writing is well done and this book reads smoothly and effortlessly. I absolutely adored this book, this couple and the monumental feels they gave me. This is the fifth book in The Miss series but it is 100% able to be enjoyed as a complete standalone read. I am electing to post an objective review.

Born and raised Iowa girl here! Nice to see a character that comes from my area.
That said I loved this story. Do you ever think you are to be where you are in life at that moment? I do and for Daisy and Caleb I think that rainy morning they were right where they needed to be.
Caleb is so misunderstood by others that he thinks people can't be around him. I love how there are several angles to this story all the way from his quirks to Daisy's background that brings her to Cali!'It reminds me of a ying and yang realtionship. Which they balance each other out.
Daisy is wondering around life trying to find a purpose when she meets Caleb and I feel the way Miss Aubrey wrote this book was for her to make Caleb realize he is worthy of love and shows him how meeting the right person can open up a whole new world for you.
This book is beautifully written where it isn't centered around drama, but real life issues and sometimes you have to lean on others to show the beauty around you. I am so happy that Caleb has Daisy in his life and vice versa.

I LOVED this book! Audrey created an exceptional story here between these two characters and I loved every moment.
This is essentially a grumpy/sunshine trope, which I have to admit is among my top 5.
Daisy is a beautiful and kind person with so much more intelligence than people often give her credit for. But it’s her colourful and bright attitude that draws people in.
Caleb is a stickler for routine, and not by choice. His family don’t understand his compulsions as it doesn’t fit their ‘perfect’ lifestyle, so Caleb has decided he doesn’t deserve anybody.
But when a ray of sunshine becomes your assistant for 6wks, the grumpy demeanour starts to fall away, and maybe, just maybe, someone will love him unconditionally.
I loved the plot line. I loved the characters. And I really loved the twist- it was different and really showcased the development of Caleb. It pushed them forward without causing a whole lot of angst, which I was grateful for . This is by far my favourite of the series and I’m looking forward to more.

There is no doubt about it , my whole heart belongs to the characters of Caleb and Daisy from this story .
This author has never let me down . If I could give Miss Fortune more than 5*, then I would, it's so damn good .
This author has touched on subjects in this book, and some of her other books , that other authors wouldn't dream of touching , but she treats these subjects with great knowledge, and respect.
You will fall head over heels the characters of Caleb and Daisy.
Their heartbreaking, heartwarming story had my heart overflowing with love for this couple .
Both have had things happen in the past that has shaped who they are today . One needs order, and schedules, and won't let anyone in their life ,to love . They other is now a free spirit , wanting to help others, and looking for their happily ever after .
Their attraction, and chemistry is instant , it's their past that's getting on the way of their future.
A 100% must read

The Miss Series from the fabulous Aubrey Bondurant is undoubtedly one of my most favourite! I honestly cannot help but get sucked into the story and fall in love with the characters.
While I have loved the books before Miss Fortune I have to say that it is now my favourite of them all. Daisy and Caleb were just so damn cute together and I could empathise with their need to be with someone who would never treat them differently because of what they have been through in life. You can see the change in them both as the story progresses most especially Caleb who struggles and it is written in such a believable way. I am just so happy they both got the HEA!
What I adore about the author is that she isn't afraid to write about more difficult situations in life and she does so with respect and without having to make a big drama about it or be over the top because real life isn't like that.
I cannot wait for the next book!

HEA
Standalone, interconnected characters
Trigger warnings
Transplant patient
Autism, ASD - Asperger's syndrome
Adoption
Postpartum issues
Cleft palate babies
Difficult parental relationships
Daisy is late to a job interview she agreed to for a friend when she rear-ended the car in front of her. That led to her meeting Caleb, an attorney with a secret diagnosis that effects his life in huge ways. She has a diagnosis of her own. Their relationship progresses 1 step forward, 10 backwards, while both are struggling with the fact they are falling in love. She isn't sure how much more hot/ cold she can take, until she decides she won't take any more. Then there is a baby that needs help.
This was a grump/sunshine story that will tug on your heart strings, but should only be read by those over 18. There are some really tough issues and extra steamy scenes.

Omg I haven't read a book so fast in ages. I always seem to devour Aubrey's books.
This series is incredible each book gets better and this one had me hooked. Daisy always intrigued me in the previous book, and she is truly one of a kind, I love her attitude towards negative comments towards her. She is a free spirit but after her past she started a new, dreaming of happily ever after.
Caleb is focused and strict on routine and hates change, he shows his uniqueness but cracks start to show slowly and we learn more about the mysterious man. He is truly one of a kind.
I won't give too much more of the story away but highly recommend this book but suggest starting with book one. The authors stories are a must, she is truly amazing.

Miss Fortune is another great addition to the Miss Series! I absolutely loved these characters and their story. Daisy's character is a breath of fresh air! She is the kind of person we should all inspire to be!! She is kind and generous even when others don't reciprocate and takes nothing for granted. She is sunshine on a rainy day and I couldn't help but love everything about her! I also loved Caleb. We dont see a characters like his often and I loved the fact he was unique and different! He was kind and generous in his own way and never even realized it. Their story was a bit different as these characters were different as I mentioned before. It added more layers and depth. There were plenty of hot and sweet moments too! I could not have been happier with the ending and I can not wait to read the next book!!

I loved it except…
Daisy is a free spirit. Growing up with a bad heart, being micro managed by well meaning parents, and having a heart transplant makes her quit her job at NASA and move to LA. Caleb is a high functioning ACD, working in a job he hates, with cold, distant parents. His life changes when he’s rear ended by Daisy, who is on her way to interview to temp for him.
The only thing that got me a little is that the book talks about her having to watch what she eats and limit her alcohol intake because of her heart, but yet she’s always drinking wine, eating tacos, donuts, ice cream, etc.
I did enjoy this book and I would recommend it to everyone.

Miss Fortune by Aubrey Bondurant is the fifth book in the Miss Series. Even though it can be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend the other books in the series as well! I have adored every single book in the series so far, but this one was incredible. I literally devoured it in one sitting unable to put it down. It was steamy, sweet, and had relatable characters that you couldn’t help but love. Caleb and Daisy’s chemistry was palpable. Their connection was so beautiful and felt so real. I loved watching their feelings unfold and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of their story. I cannot wait to see what’s next for Ms. Bondurant!

I absolutely loved this book. Office romance is one of my favorite genres to read and Aubrey writes simple the best office romance books. I have read all of the books in the miss series and I just love each one more and more. This book on Caleb and Daisy is just great, I was hooked on the story as soon as I started reading it and couldn’t put it down. And I love being able to see some of the other characters from
The other miss series books in it as well. I just love Aubreys book and love when she releases a new one. This is a must read book.

This was a sweet romance of two complete opposites coming together. I loved the back story with Daisy living her life to its fullest after her circumstances. Caleb has had his struggles with his parents and become an incredible attorney but still has something missing. The build up between these two characters was delightful and refreshing and of course a few steamy scenes built in for fun. There was a great little twist thrown in by the means of Tabitha but the story all came together in the sweetest of ways.

Miss Fortune by Aubrey Bondurant is 5 book in The Miss Series. This is the story of Daisy Wilson and Caleb Morrison. This for me was a swoon worthy read with Caleb and Daisy. Both had had past issues but it seemed Daisy tried to be the breath of air people needed. That was for sure something Caleb needed to see that he was worthy of love. Really enjoyed this book and I do recommend it along with this author's writing.

Daisy & Caleb
Whoa! From the very first page this book captivated me! I loved Daisy and her outlook on life after getting a second shot at it. Loved how she was well educated and was not a damsel in distress, but dealt with daily life to life changes. Caleb was everything I’d want in a hero! These two together is pure love and happiness, I loved this book. What an awesome way to start an amazing new series.
