COCKY HERO CLUB
Release Date: May 17, 2020


Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are excited to bring you the Cocky Hero Club: original works from various authors inspired by Keeland and Ward's New York Times bestselling Cocky Bastard series.




COCKY DUKE
BY ANNABELLE ANDERS

Mrs. Ambrosia Bloomington, now a widow, is ready to start a new life amongst Mayfair elites without the overarching reach of her late husband, Mr. Harrison Bloomington.  With her trunks loaded safely onto her own private carriage, she’s ready to face the world as an independent woman in Regency London.

She does not, however, bargain for cocksure Frenchman, Mr. Charles Cochran Bateman coming along and turning her very ordinary journey into the adventure of a lifetime.

She does not bargain for his laughter, his enthusiasm, nor his Joie de vie.

And blast and fiddlesticks, she certainly is not expecting to experience the sparks that charge the air between them.

And, it seems, apparently, neither is he…






REVIEW



I really enjoyed this story. I loved that the storyline was not your typical historical romance. For me I want something new and fresh and the author definitely delivered it with this story. The characters were amazing together. Great banter and a lot of passion for one another. I look forward to reading more from the author!

MOTHER CLUCKER
BY CAT JOHNSON

They say opposites attract, but in this case, they might just combust . . .

HEATHER

Hermosa Beach seems to be the place for throwing together unlikely opposites.

My rooster Rowdy and his new crush, Pixy the goat.

Me and the obnoxiously cocky cowboy from Texas . . .

But unlike Rowdy and Pixy, there’s no way I’m going to fall for David Strickland.

Nope. Not gonna happen. I could never be with a man so completely opposed to everything I believe . . . no matter how hot he is.

DAVID

There couldn’t be two people more different than the beautiful little tree hugger and rooster rescuer Heather and me.

We can’t agree on anything, except that we disagree on everything—some times more heatedly than other times. And believe me, things are starting to heat up between us, in more ways than one.

She's the last thing I expected to find at an animal shelter in California. But now I found her, I have no intention of letting her go.

I just have to get her on board with that plan.


REVIEW

Heather comes across a runaway rooster. This rooster ends up changing her life.
David is traveling from Texas to California to do business and to see an old friend. When he stops at the gas station he doesn't expect to meet a beautiful lady who is sexy, wild and feisty. He looks forward to getting to know more of her. These two keep bumping into one another & sparks always fly.
I really liked this story. These two were very different but they really worked well together. I love how these two keep meeting like fate was stepping in. The story was incredible interesting and fun.

SECRET KEEPER
BY CHRISTOPHER HARLAN

She was the fruit of a forbidden tree, but nothing in this world was going to stop me from tasting her.
My name is Dylan Murphy, and I work for the rich and powerful of an exclusive Manhattan building. Graham Morgan was my first boss, but soon after I was working with some of the most famous entrepreneurs, business moguls, and movie stars in the city. They trusted me because I always followed the cardinal rules:
Never betray secrets. And never, under any circumstance, get personally involved.
I’d never dreamed of violating my professional mantra.
Not until she walked past me.
The look we exchanged that night set my body on fire, and I knew right then and there that no matter the consequences, she was going to be mine. But she was one of them—off limits and out of my league, but she was the kind of woman who I was willing to risk everything for.
I keep other people’s secrets for a living, but the biggest secret of all might be my own.

REVIEW
Dylan is a personal assistant, when his current boss & friend decide to move he agrees to working with another guy who is just like his old boss. However, he soon discovers he is anything but.
Penelope is engaged to Chandler, but she soon finds out who her fiancé really is. He is a liar & a cheater.
Dylan meets Penelope when she movies into the building but he knows she is off limits.
When they meet again sparks fly. Can these two explore their feelings? Will Dylan be able to get out from under Chandler and his shadiness?
I loved this story. It had a lot of drama, excitement and twist and turns. Penelope & Dylan were perfection together.

COCKY CAPTAIN
BY ELLIE MASTERS

Ex-fighter pilot, Logan Reid, is exactly the kind of man I despise. He’s a cocky jet jock, a former Navy Blue Angel, and full of all the arrogance that comes with being the best of the best.

I’m an ex-Zoomie, an Air Force tanker pilot. The rivalry between our sister services is nothing compared to that between fighter jocks and tanker pilots. We’re bitter rivals and I’m low-man (woman) on the totem pole

The last thing I need is to spend six hours at thirty-five thousand feet locked in a cockpit with the cocky captain. But I have no choice. I’m his co-pilot, and we’re taking the CEO of Montague Enterprises, and his family, on a mini-vacation to the Grand Caymans.

We have three days on the ground before we fly back.
Three long days in paradise and he wants to spend them all with me.

I have a thing for fighter pilots.
It isn’t animosity, exactly, but rather a deep-seated dislike. They get all the glory while the rest of us sit at the butt end of their jokes and wither beneath their ridicule.
I hate fighter pilots. There, I said it. I hate the arrogant pricks with a passion.

But after one look into those magnetic eyes, and the devastating wink which follows, I’m thinking of throwing caution to the wind. What harm can come from some innocent flirting? Besides, it’s not as if my job is at risk.

I’m not prepared for the air to sizzle when he’s close.
I’m not ready for our explosive chemistry when he touches my skin.
I’m not equipped for the fallout when our three days come to an end.
And I never expected to fall in love.

But all good things come to an end.
I wasn’t prepared when I walked away.
And I wasn’t ready for what came next.

He’s arrogant.
He’s cocky.
He’s determined to get what he wants.
And he’s refuses  to let this end.
He’s fighting for a forever…with me.

But, I’m not ready for our beginning.
He’s arrogant enough to prove me wrong.
REVIEW
I must say I did not like Logan very much in the beginning. He is a super cocky man. He is full of himself. He definitely belonged in the Cocky Club.
Then there is Angel. I really liked her character a lot. She is tenacious & confident with herself and her ability to do her job. Angel did not like Logan at first and I can't say I don't blame her. He soon starts wearing her down with his dirty talk that gets her all hot & bothered. I can't deny that their chemistry was of the charts.
The story was interesting, enjoyable and well written.

SEXY SUIT
BY J.H. CROIX

When I met Ryan, I might’ve been trying to break into his basement.

It was for a good cause. I swear. Also, my dog broke in first.

Ryan Blake is jaw-dropping handsome, wealthy & cocky. Not quite my type. By some miracle, he doesn’t call the police on me when he catches me trying to rescue my dog. He even fetches a doctor for me. Don’t ask why.

I don’t figure I’ll see him again. Then, I do. Then, he kisses me. Once. Twice. Is three times the charm? To be honest, I swooned at the first kiss.

All swooning aside, we are seriously opposites. I wear cowboy boots and skirts. He wears suits and ties. He’s all New York City. I’m a Southern girl looking for a new start. We even talk at different speeds.

The list of things I don’t expect from Ryan is long. I don’t expect him to think twice about me. I don’t expect him to nearly bring me to my knees with a look. I don’t expect him to be so much more than I ever imagined.

I absolutely don’t expect to fall for him. So hard I’m skidding sideways just to catch my balance.
REVIEW

Addie, she has just inherited a brownstone in NYC from her Aunt that is worth millions. She moved there from Louisiana with her dog. She isn't look for a man. Her mothers pining for her ad who really didn't want to be around has left her leery of rich men.
Ryan also has issues dating due to his parents bad relationship. When he spots Addie breaking into his place he is mesmerized by her and her story of her dog being stuck in his basement. Chemistry starts to spark but can these two get over their issues caused by their parents relationship?
I love how these two meet and how they bother suffer from the same dating hang-ups. They are a like in some ways. Another hit for me!

WICKED BEDMATE
BY JENIKA SNOW

Getting fired and humiliated in front of everyone at my newly acquired secretarial job at Morgan Financial Holdings wasn’t how I’d seen my day going.

And then chaos—or maybe luck—ensured.

I was set up on a blind date, shocked that my former boss was giving me a month’s severance, and had the perfect interview lined up.

Maybe things were looking up for me after all.

And although finding a man should have been on the bottom of my to-to list, I couldn’t get Jason—the uber sexy blind date—out of my head. Sexy and confident—or maybe arrogant—he had me yearning for more with just a smoldering look and a smirk of his lips.

But when a night of drinking leads to getting in bed with him and having the wildest, most intense night of my life, I didn’t know if I should ask to see him again, or do the good old walk of shame.

And it’s when I walk into my interview the next day and come face-to-face with my prospective employer that the reality of my situation sinks in.

Because there, sitting across from me with that devilish smile on his face, that knowing expression of what we’d done the night before, is the one and only Jason, my supposedly one-night stand.

Looked like my humiliation wasn’t over just yet.
REVIEW

Linda just lost her job for a little slip up. Now jobless she must look for another. She tells her good friend about it and he assures her she will find something and he suggest that she goes on a blind date with his boyfriends brother Jason.
Jason is a business man, he is a CFO and has no time or want to really date. He agrees to his brothers request just to get him off his back, however he never expected to meet Linda.
Linda and Jason were great together. They had a nice date, despite that Lisa had a little to much to drink and then she leaves. She has no plans of seeing Jason again because of her behavior however, fate has other plans and these two meet again in a little bit of a shocking way (no spoilers) Linda is somewhat resistant because of new things happening in her life, but Jason wants Linda and for more than just a good time. I thought this was another great story. Loved Linda & Jason from how they first meet both very reluctant to then craving one another

LUCKY BASTARD
BY KAYLEE RYAN

Emma

When my best friend Aubrey asked me to tag along to an event with her, I never could have imagined that it would be the day that my life changed forever.

He’s arrogant and demanding and doesn’t take a hint. Landon Barker, the quarterback for the Hermosa Beach Trojans, is a player on and off of the field. He’s got his sights set on me as his next play, but I see right through him. Aubrey says I’m overreacting, that I should give him a chance. What she doesn’t realize is men like Landon don’t fall for the girl next door. That’s not reality. She got her fairytale, although it was a long road. Not all of us are that lucky.

Landon

She’s a friend of our new kicking coach’s wife. When I ask Chance for her number, he tells me I have to find a way to get it myself.

Nothing when it comes to Emma has been easy. She’s the first woman ever to turn me down, and that won’t do. However, as time passes, it’s about more than that. It’s about her smile, her laugh, and just spending time with her. She thinks I’m a player, and she’s right. What she doesn’t know is that I play to win, and her heart is the ultimate trophy.


Review
Emma is a sweet girl. She is a girl next door who is looking for a man to giver her all to.
Landon is a quarterback who portrays the typical ego of a QB around certain people and crowds. But deep down he is a sweet good guy. He want Emma and will do whatever it takes to make her his.
I like that Emma makes Landon work for her and a relationship with her. She is not easy and wants something real. I also liked that Landon lays everything out on the table and shows his feelings for Emma from the start. Getting to read these two build something was amazing. I thought they were great together and perfectly matched a hit for me!

COCKSURE ACE
BY K WEBSTER

I’m a fighter.
At least that’s what my daddy always told me.
It’s in our blood.

Hard work, hustle, and a little Hennessey is the Reid motto.
He taught me to fight for everything I wanted in life.
Take down those who threaten the dream.

My dream is to marry the perfect man.
That man is my father’s best friend and I won’t stop until I have him.
And at Daddy’s wedding in Costa Rica, I plan to make that dream finally come true.
Then, my life will be smooth sailing.

Until a chance flight with an arrogant pilot throws me off course. 
Literally. 
Camilo’s decisions affect my future, and I can’t allow anything—not even a cocksure, ridiculously hot idiot—to stand in my way.

Problem is, he fights back.
Every battle I’ve won in life, he shoots down and exposes me for the fraud I am.
Trapped in paradise with my devilishly handsome nemesis seems like one of the seven circles of Hell…and, boy, is it getting hot around here. 

He’ll strip me of my armor.
Remind me of my past.
Force me to rethink my future.
And help me live in the moment.
Will he steal my heart too?

One thing’s for sure.
This girl won’t give up without a fight.




REVIEW


Sheridan is an amazing woman. She is a successful wealthy woman and a focused person who happens to be beautiful. Her downfall is she is snobby and acts like she is owed everything.
She has plans to get her fathers best friend to make her his at her fathers wedding. Only things don't work out for her that way. A hurricane and one hot cocky pilot  changes her plans.
Camilo is cocky, hot, a ladies man and did I mention a little cocky lol. When these two get together they are explosive. But they both have issues that they need to work through in order to make things work for them.
The story was really good. Full of surprises, steamy good times. A hit for me

CLUTCH PLAYER
BY NIKKI ASH

Harper
I fell in love when I was sixteen. Landon was my entire world and I thought he would be my forever. But I was young and dumb, and with one error in judgement, I destroyed any chance of a future we could’ve had together, along with our hearts.

Twelve years later and I’m going through the motions of life, but not actually living. Which is why I let my friends, Bridget and Simon, set me up on a blind date. Turns out, it’s not so blind after all. Because the man sitting in front of me is the same man who’s held onto my heart all these years.

Landon
They call me a Clutch Player because I’m good under pressure and quick on my feet. I was also quick to fall in love. The first time it was with baseball, the second was with Harper. And for a short time I had them both.

Until I lost Harper and all I had left was baseball.

For years, I focused on my career. I had accepted that baseball was my one true love.

Until I saw her again. I never imagined we’d ever get a second chance, but now that she’s sitting right across from me, I know there’s no way in hell I’m going to let her go again.


REVIEW


Harper is divorced. She lives her life for her two kids. They are everything to her and she would do anything for them, She wishes her ex would be more involved with them instead of just throwing money at them. The only thing missing from her life is her first & only true love Landon, but he has been long gone for years now.
Landon has retired from MLB and he is now helping his brother coach a team. When he is set up on a blind date he is shocked that it is with his first love Harper. He hopes that these two can have a second chance at their happy ending. He has always regretted leaving her all those years ago and now he is afraid if he tells her why he will lose her again.
I'm always a sucker for a good second chance love story and this one is no exception. I loved Harper & Landon. The fact that their love was still as strong as ever made it that much sweeter and enjoyable. One of my favorites!

SEXY SCOUNDREL
BY RAISA GREYWOOD

Carlina Perez is in way over her head. Unexpectedly jobless and fostering an exotic pet with an insatiable appetite, this pastry chef needs a new gig faster than she can whip up a batch of scones.  But when she’s tapped to serve as the personal chef to a haughty tabloid regular, she only considers the job out of sheer desperation. After all, Giorgio Acardi may be filthy rich and intoxicatingly handsome, but he’s also a first class scoundrel.

Giorgio Acardi has it all:  money, fame, an endless string of beautiful companions, and the respect of his colleagues and rivals. From the outside looking in, his life is perfect. So perfect, in fact, that he’s even got his eye on a new personal chef. She’s talented and gorgeous, and it shouldn’t make a difference whether she hates him or not as long as she does the job. But there’s something about Carlina that Giorgio just can’t resist, and he hasn’t enjoyed success by backing down from a challenge.




REVIEW




This is Gio & Carli's story...
I like Carli from the start. She has a big heart and she is sweet. She loves everyone and everything except for Gio, at first anyways.
Gio seems to be a good guy but he tends to make a mess of things with how he handles things and tries to take care of things. His actions seems to end up getting him in more trouble more often and not.
These two when they do get together have amazing chemistry and you can definitely feel their intensity in the story. A must read!
