Cocky Bastard By Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward



He was someone who belonged in my wildest fantasies instead of a rest stop in the middle of Nebraska.

A sexy, cocky, Australian named Chance was the last person I expected to run into on my cross-country drive.

When my car broke down, we made a deal. Next thing I knew, we were traveling together, spending sexually-tense nights in hotels and taking unplanned detours.

My ordinary road trip turned into the adventure of a lifetime. It was all fun and games until things got intense.

I wanted him, but Chance wouldn't make a move. I thought he wanted me too, but something was holding him back.

I wasn't supposed to fall for the cocky bastard, especially when I knew we'd be going our separate ways.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.


I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review......

Cocky bastard is written in two POV, and for me, the first half of the book, which is in Aubrey's POV was the highlight of the book. 

I've never laughed so much during a book in all my life. 
He's cocky, he's funny, extremely good looking, and has that whole bad boy vibe going on for him. 

I swear, I can't even begin to tell you how funny this book is. 
The book follows Aubrey's and Chance's travels to California, where they both have somewhere to be. 
When Aubrey let's Chance tag along with her in her car, I was like YES, I love him already. The minute he's in the car she's snapping at him. It's funny. 

But the best part of the journey is THE GOAT. Never and I mean NEVER am I going to look at a goat the same. I just can't. 

Whatever good reviews you've read on this, believe them, they are all true. Chance should have had his own book he's that good of a character. 

After their journey is over, and Aubrey is left to move on, the book moves on to TWO YEARS later, and we finally get Chance's POV. 

This is where the book went downhill for me. It was so boring. I got all excited wanting to read it from his POV, but I was let down. 
In fact, the whole ending was a disappointment. I felt like Aubrey strung him along, and in the end, it was her that didn't deserve a second chance. What she put him through was wrong, and I disliked her for it. I understood at the beginning, but once he explained she should have made a decision. You could see he hadn't had the best two years of his life, yet she was prepared to hold him back even more. It just seem right. 

But even with that said, I felt like the story line went down hill, and wish we could have had more of the journey to California, or more about the Goat. 
I love that Goat LOL

3.* for the whole book, but if I rated the first POV I would rate it a 5*
