Story
Laurel Lake held the title America’s Friendliest Town for seventeen years running, and friendly was just what I needed right now. Unfortunately, friendly wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived. Instead, I got Fox Cassidy. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello. Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock.

Story
It started out like any normal day. Then the fender bender happened. The guy I collided with drove an expensive car and was drop-dead gorgeous. Too bad he was also a total jerk. We argued over whose fault it was and any other thing that came out of his condescending mouth. Eventually, the police came and we went our separate ways. The insurance companies would have to figure things out. I had a job interview to get to anyway - one I was excited about. Though that excitement changed to disappointment the moment the person interviewing me walked in. The guy from the accident.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Story
I’m falling for the father of the baby I’m carrying. The problem is: it’s not my baby. And the broody widower is not looking for a long-term partner. As a surrogate, the deal was that I’d only be in England long enough to give birth. At first, the man seemed as pretentious as his name: Sigmund Benedictus. He and I butted heads. Sig challenged my intentions, accused me of just wanting to do this for the money. Gradually, he learned to trust me.

I'm writing this letter because it's highly doubtful I'll ever garner the courage to say this to your face. So, here goes. We're totally wrong for each other. You're the proper single mum with a good head on your shoulders. I'm just the carefree British doctor passing through town and temporarily living in your converted garage until I head back to England. But here's the thing... for some bloody reason, I can't stop thinking about you in very inappropriate ways.

It all started with an unexpected phone call. Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult special-needs brother with no one to care for him. The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home. The last thing I ever expected? I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.

A new standalone novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Vi Keeland. The night I met Drew Jagger, he'd just broken into my new Park Avenue office. I dialed 9-1-1 before proceeding to attack him with my fancy new Krav Maga skills. He quickly restrained me, then chuckled, finding my attempted assault amusing. Of course, my intruder had to be arrogant. Only, turned out, he wasn't an intruder at all. Drew was the rightful occupant of my new office. He'd been on vacation while his posh space was renovated.

My planned trip for two unexpectedly turned into a trip for one. Rather than let my breakup get me down, I packed my bags and decided a week at a luxury resort was just what I needed. But one calamity after the next, and suddenly I was stuck without a hotel room, along with a few hundred other people. It looked like my fancy vacation was about to turn into me sleeping on the hotel lobby floor. Until I overheard a gorgeous man pretending to be someone he wasn’t in order to steal a reservation from a guest who hadn’t shown up yet.

Finding a good roommate through a classified ad isn’t as easy as it sounds. I was starting to lose hope. Until a knock at my door came, and God answered my prayers. Except...uh...wrong prayer, God. I’d definitely requested the big guy find me a drop-dead gorgeous man on more than one occasion...just not as my roommate. Declan Tate talked me into interviewing him anyway. While he was amusing and charismatic, I wouldn’t have been comfortable living with a man, so I regretfully declined. Then, cupcakes showed up at my door.

It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress. Something blue. I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old". Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read: Thank you for making all of my dreams come true.

Bennett Fox walked into my life on one hell of a crappy Monday morning. I was late for the first day at my new job - a job I’d now have to compete for, even though I’d already worked eight years to earn it, because of an unexpected merger. While I lugged my belongings up to my new office, a meter maid wrote me a parking summons. She’d ticketed a long line of cars - except for the Audi parked in front of me, which happened to be the same make and model as mine. Annoyed, I decided to regift my ticket to the car that had evaded a fine.

When my grandmother died and left me half of the house on Aquidneck Island, there was a catch: the other half would go to the boy she helped raise. The same boy who turned into the teenager whose heart I broke years ago.

I’d never forgotten him - a man I’d yet to meet. Griffin Quinn was my childhood pen pal, the British boy who couldn’t have been more different from me. Over the years, through hundreds of letters, we became best friends, sharing our deepest, darkest secrets and forming a connection I never thought could break. Until one day, it did. Then, out of the blue, a new letter arrived. A scathing one - one with eight years of pent-up anger. I had no choice but to finally come clean as to why I stopped writing. Griffin forgave me, and we were able to rekindle our childhood connection.

Publisher's Summary
From New York Times best sellers Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland comes a sexy new standalone novel.
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.
Author's note: Cocky Bastard is a full-length standalone novel. Due to strong language and sexual content, this audiobook is not intended for listeners under the age of 18.

Enjoyable
Overall I enjoyed the characters and the story. A little predictable but well passed and heartfelt.
As an Australian I know how difficult our accent can be for the rest of the world to pull off authentically. Unfortunately both narrators at times struggled to get it right, Aaron was a little bit better than Michelle. Some of the words were pushed too far where the accent sounded comical and over done, and at other times both sounded slightly British.
The most annoying thing about the story though was Aubrey's name - even in the book it's pronounced incorrectly, Penelope and Vi wrote it as "Ah-Bree" to try and replicate the Aussie accent but it really should be "Or-Bri". It made me cringe everytime I heard it.

Terrible male narrator
Interesting storyline but the male narrator is absolutely terrible.
He has a really bad Australian accent and I agree with other reviews, that he sounds like a 50 year old English man.
Not only is his accent bad but his voice narration is off, raising his voice when he shouldn’t be. He’s concentrating so hard to do the accent that some of what he’s saying doesn’t make sense.
It’s really hard to follow as a listener.

Well that was a weird 7 or so hours
I'll be honest, I normally don't mind bad Australian accents and that's because I'm used to people making it sound like a British accent. This audio book on the other hand forgot entirely about it and by the end of the book I forgot he was meant to be Aussie. The story was hard to get through and the narration was also difficult to get through. I liked how the female narrator at least did a fair enough job on the accent though.

Entertaining Performance
The advice not to judge a book by it's cover should also apply to reviews. I avoided this book for a while due to the reviews, particularly of the narrators. And I was relieved to hear that Aaron Abano has an authentic sounding Australian accent. Not only that, the inflection and emphasis were perfect for the style in which this novel is written. For me, this book had balance. The intensity of the first half of the book was lightened by the writing style and the narration in the second half and I smiled through most of it. How can you not smile, when there is Cocky Bastard who goes after what he wants, limits his vocabulary when referring to his rival and has a soft spot for a goat?

Would have preferred no accents
Started listening to this a couple of weeks ago, and only just finished yesterday. I couldn't listen to too much of it in one sitting - I was determined to get through it, but the narration was really not the best. I wish both the narrators hadn't tried to do an Aussie accent, especially the male narrator. He ended up sounding like an old man, not at all suited to the male character of the story, Chance. 3 stars for the story, but I'd give 2 for the Narration

That awful accent
That accent was awful! Chance sounded like a 50 year old man from London.
Spoiler alert - that was not an Aussie accent.
The story was ok, but the reading made me cringe, and I just couldn’t get into it. I should have just read the ebook.

Horrible Australian accent
Great story but didn't enjoy the narrators. Worst Australian accent, didn't suit male character at all. Especially as he sounded so much older than the character so it was hard to visualise the description of him to the voice. Overall story was great and I enjoyed it wish I read the book instead of the audiobook.

Needed a better "Aussie" accent
Not a bad story, has some great giggles especially thanks to pixie AKA Mutton AKA Esmerelda Snow Flake. I couldn't get past the Australian Accent of the male narrator, it sounded more like a an old aussie who had been sitting in the local pub with his fosters and smoking some winnie red's for 70yrs too long. definately needed a younger narrator.
