I <3 <3 <3'd this book. Loved it. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into when I started COCKY BASTARD, but I was quickly unwilling to put this book down.
Aubrey meets Chance, by chance, as she drives from Chicago to Temecula, California. Aubrey is a bit bitter, after having caught her live-in boyfriend cheating on her. But meeting Chance gave Aubrey something she's never had before. The opportunity to live a little. To let loose. To discover exactly she is. With Chance she experiences life. As wonderful as all that was for Aubrey, Chance is also the one to give her her biggest heartbreak, where she has to figure out how to move on. And just when she's finally gotten her life back on track, fate put Chance in Aubrey's path once again.
I loved these two. I loved the bickering. Chance pushed Aubrey's buttons, but he did it in a way the always seemed to give Aubrey the little push she needed to experience life. It was also their version of foreplay, with Chance purposefully saying things just to rile Aubrey up. But it worked for these two and made it extremely fun to follow their road trip.
Chance was one of those characters that had to much more to him once he got past his extraordinary looks and his cocky attitude. He was a guy trying to get over the past, while making sure he and his sister were happy. You didn't see those deep sides that often, as he choose to hide them behind his humor, but when you did it made you love him even more.
COCKY BASTARD is one of those books that you will want to read over and over again. From the Obama bobblehead to a fainting goat, there's laughter, a smoking hot guy, and a romance that has you rooting for the guy to win her over. It's a romance novel that has everything and one that I highly, highly recommend.
