Egotistical Jerk
by A.K. MacBride

I had one goal: To learn from Sebastian Ryker.
He was an award-winning physician in his field of medicine.
A genius who could diagnose you with the barest of symptoms.
The best of the best.
Too bad he turned out to be an egotistical jerk.
Mere hours into my first day, I realized that the man I had idolized for years didn’t live up to the hype.
He was rude, arrogant, and totally full of… himself.
It was clear that my presence bothered him, that I was nothing more than an irritation.
So, why did I want to melt into a puddle whenever those dark eyes were trained on me?
And why didn’t I listen when my head warned my heart that he’d break it in two?
I had one goal: To learn from Sebastian Ryker, not fall in love with him.

My Thoughts <3

I REALLY enjoyed Egotistical Jerk! This book has the best blend of humor, heart, and incredible steam. The characters were 100% likable, realistic, and down to earth. They might not make the best decisions, but that shows how imperfectly perfect that they were!

All in all, I totally give this 4.5 outta 5 and enjoyed every second of this fairly fast romance set in the medical field. The author did a great job with the story, character development, and secondary characters- totally dug it!

PS: Thank you to AK MacBride, Cock Hero Club, and Give Me Books PR for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly!

Alexander (Xander) Livingston left college with the dream of becoming CEO of his uncle’s technology company. Nine years later, all his dreams have come true. All except for one: marrying the love of his life.
 
Madison (Maddie) Hightower had always been a loner until Xander came along.

Even after all these years, her attraction for Xander is still sizzling and palpable. He still makes her heart sing, but she isn’t sure if he feels the same way.
 
Xander is interested in the merger for two reasons. The first is the potential for growth in the digital market, and the second is a chance to reconnect with Maddie. He’s never forgotten her. She was supposed to be by his side as he climbed the corporate ladder, and now he has the opportunity to swoop in, buy the company, and have Maddie working under him. Literally.
 
But Maddie had a secret. One she never told Xander when he left her in California and headed to the East Coast— a secret she never thought he’d ever uncover.
 
The merger of their companies will bring Xander face to face with Maddie’s life-altering betrayal. How he handles this discovery will determine the future for both and decide the fates of these two star-crossed lovers.

British Black Sheep
by Lauren Smith

He is exactly the kind of man Brie Honeyweather swore never to love…or lust after ever again: a sexy, arrogant, British bad boy in a designer suit. Alec is the last person Brie wants to be stuck on an international flight to London with, but hey…at least they’re in first class.

When their flight has to make an emergency landing in a snowstorm just before Christmas, Brie and Alec are thrown together in a single bedroom in a tiny English village. As the snowstorm rages outside, things get intense and emotions and lust run hot. Alec reminds Brie just how much she misses being with a man and how easy it is to fall head over heels too fast.

What should have been an amazing one-night stand turns into a week-long secret romance at Alec’s family estate when Brie realizes her new boss is Alec’s mother, a British countess. While Brie tries to focus on writing a Christmas book with the countess, all she can think about is getting back into bed with Alec.

She shouldn’t fall for the arrogant brit, especially when their lives are oceans apart and neither of them wants a serious relationship. But Christmas magic has a way of working miracles. Maybe Santa will bring her a happy ending after all…

Audacious Fiancé
by Liz Lovelock

Years ago, he broke me.
Now he’s back with a proposition.
He needs a fake fiancée, and I’m the one he’s come to.
 
Audacious— that’s how I would describe him. He was my first love, my first kiss, and my first heartbreak, from which I never truly healed.
Kane was once the man of my dreams, on paper—strong, handsome, and a complete charmer. But the problem is, he has never given a damn about anyone but himself.
I’ve never witnessed a desperate man until Kane knocked on my door with literally the proposal of a lifetime.
I must admit, it’s ironic he’s come to me given the way things ended between us.
It’s possibly the worst idea ever, but I need the money. How do I not fall for Kane all over again and risk history repeating itself? Only time will tell.

My Thoughts <3

Cocky Carpenter will capture your heart! It was sweet and uplifting and just leaves you with a happy feeling after reading it! I am not a huge fan of 3rd person and was a little bummed to see that in the beginning, but the author had a way of writing that did not make me feel as if I was missing out on anything!

This is a relatively quick read but will have you adoring the characters and the story was just hands down so full of heart and humor. I totally recommend checking this book out if you enjoy the Cock Hero world and I give it 4 outta 5 stars!
