Cocky Bastard by Penelope Ward, Vi Keeland
2.0
Man, Ok so I thought the idea of this book sounded so good!
It started out good but it just felt like the book was moving so fast, one second they are strangers, and the next she's falling in love and agreeing to "marry" him?
I did enjoy the plot twist, I was thinking maybe he was married seeking a diverse or something dramatic that was why he was trying to keep his distance.
What really lost me was he didn't tell her where he was so that she would go live her left but then TWO YEARS of no contact he gets out and day one looks her up and stalks her? like why not write her if he clearly had feelings this whole time. I get it's a book and it was a huge part of the story.
I HATED the cheating. When they kiss, and the whole shower thing? It was insane that she even agreed to the weekend away. If I had known there was cheating I don't know that I would have read the book.
Honestly, it totally felt like Aubrey was stringing him along, and then at the end, she says she always knew? like what the hell.
Ok, so I feel like I've been really harsh on this book. I do love Chance and Pixi. I've read other books by P Ward and I love them, but this one just was not for me.
