Cocky Playboy is a full length romance novel with a Happily Ever After.
Momma Says: 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Enemies-to-lovers: check, Office romance: check, Chemistry and scorching hotness: double check! Cocky Playboy is an impossible to put down romance with loads of feels (the good kind) and characters you can't help but root for. Whether they're going for the jugular or something a little further south, Decker and Tate are terrific. And this one might even have a unicorn - a likable and friendly teenager who doesn't show disdain for every adult in her general vicinity.
This story sucked me in from the beginning with two of my favorite types of characters. Decker is arrogant, but he does have a softer side and so many redeeming qualities, and Tate is a strong woman who doesn't mind going toe-to-toe with arrogant alpha males while still showing her more feminine side. Both are well-rounded, and the authors have shown all sides of these characters brilliantly.
Of course, we have to have that required bit of angst, and this one has a couple of those. It's not hard to see either coming, but that's okay. This one really isn't about getting all angsty. It's pretty low-key, which keeps with a lighthearted tone. It's also full of some spectacular wit and laugh out loud moments. That said, there is one 'go get her' scene that comes pretty darn close to the feels in that final Officer and a Gentleman scene.
In the end, can I say that this one is realistic? It's nice to think that it could be, but probably not. It is, however, what the romantics in us would hope to have. Decker is the type of guy that most women would want to find, and Tate is the strong woman most would like to be. Cocky Playboy is a fun, sexy read with characters that I will come back and revisit from time to time. It's a bit of escapism in this crazy, busy world.
