Cocky Striker: A Hero Club Novel Kindle Edition

by Evan Grace (Author), Hero Club (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 185 ratings
Some say I’m cocky — I say I’m confident.

Things have always come easy for me; sports, academics…girls. And I’ve used all of that to my advantage the past three years of college.
I’ve got it all, or at least I thought I did until Laken walks into my life.
I've never desired a relationship like my parents have, but there is some mysterious pull I feel toward this brunette I’ve noticed around campus.
And with each interaction we have, I long to know her more. Yet the closer we get, the harder she resists and the higher the walls go up.
I sense there’s something more – a secret she’s hiding – one she doesn’t trust to share with me yet.
But she will, if I have my way, and I’ll do anything if she’ll take a chance on me. On us. I grew up hearing the story of how my parents met, their separation, how my dad fought for them, and their happily ever after. I just never expected or wanted to find that for myself.
Now that I have I don’t want to ever let them go.

But when I’m given the opportunity of a lifetime after graduation, will the offer of my heart be enough for her to accept? Or will I lose her forever?

"I swooned, giggled, laughed out loud, swooned some more and had a few tears. This was a wonderful and well written story and a beautiful way to honor the "Cocky World" Melissa, Book Boyfriend and Husband Makes Three


"Their chemistry is fantastic throughout the entire book. This story was full of heartfelt emotions, scorching hot sexy scenes, hilarious moments and a side character that will steal your heart the moment you meet them!!!" Chantelle, United Indie Book Blog


"I truly enjoyed their story. It was low on drama, high on the feels, and gave me a feel-good vibe that I needed this afternoon." Jenn the Readaholic


"Expectations were super high. Well... Evan not only met every single one of those expectations, she outdid herself and knocked it out of the park!" Goodreads Reviewer


"This book was a great example of why I love romance. It made me believe that love really does exist. I cannot recommend this book enough. Sr should be so proud of his son, even if he did lose top spot as Cocky Hero God." Goodreads Reviewer

" A perfect addition to the cocky hero world. This one was absolutely fantastic." Goodreads Reviewer

"This was a heartfelt and beautiful story with some twists that you are not expecting- I basically loved everything about it and HIGHLY recommend it for those that are looking for a great romance with amazing chemistry- 4.5 stars from me!" Ga Books LoverX

    I loved this story. CJ Bateman, confident and self assured. College senior, smart and wickedly handsome. He needs to win over the one girl on campus who doesn’t fall all over him, Laken Morris.
    As he try’s to find her, she is basically elusive, until he finds her in one of her favorite hiding spots.
    This is a cute, spicy romance with a few secrets and lots of romance.
    I would definitely recommend.

    As soon as this book hit my kindle I dove right in. I fell in love with Chance and Laken almost immediately but it is Ava who stole my heart. Their story is full of adoration, love and a lot of of other emotions that had me unable to tear my eyes away until the very end. I love a good story that sucks you in and makes you forget everything else around you. This is one you won’t want to miss.

    Omg— I loved this so much. I loved it even more than Cocky Bastard. It was really neat to see Chance and Aubrey again lol. But I am so in love with Chance jr. and Laken’s story. Evan Grace did a superb job with this follow up story of Chance and Aubrey’s son. It was perfectly done. I can’t recommend it enough!

    I enjoyed this one, and loved that Pixy was still in the story even though he'd be long gone were this not fiction. It really didn't have anything to do with soccer, so not sure about the title choice, but I did like the single mom bit and her secret involving that storyline. I listened to the audio, and really liked it.

    New Adult, Contemporary Romance, Sports Romance

    First Person, Dual-POV

    This book is part of the Cocky Hero Club: original works from various authors inspired by Keeland and Ward’s New York Times bestselling Cocky Bastard series. This is a standalone story inspired by Cocky Bastard. In fact, CJ is Chance and Aubrey’s son.

    MY THOUGHS

    As a follower of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward’s work, I’ve truly enjoyed the idea of this collection.

    This was the one I was most excited to read and it was totally worth the wait.

    Wow! I have to say Evan Grace did Chance Junior justice. Somehow she was able to capture Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward’s vibe for the series and putting her own stamp on it. CJ was totally book boyfriend material.

    Hot romance!!!

    32.5/35 STARS – 4.5 STARS (between 31.5 stars and 33 stars)

    Addictiveness: 5 Character: 5 Cover: 3.5 Freshness: 4 Plot: 5 Romance: 5 Writing Style: 5

    Action 2/5 Angst 2/5 Darkness 0/5 Humor 2/5 Romance 5/5 Suspense/Mystery 1/5

    Would I recommend? Yes!

    Would I re-read this book/series? Yes!

    Would I read more from the author? Yes, I loved her writing style.

    WHAT HAS REALLY WORKED FOR ME

    Addictiveness: 5/5 I read this book in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. I became invested in the characters and couldn’t let go. As addictive as chocolate!!!

    Character: hero 5/5, heroine 5/5, secondary characters 5/5, growth 5/5, real 5/5 Multifaceted characters with good background and great story arch.

    Laken was a superb heroine. She was sweet and very nice. She had shadows of her past, but she never changed herself. She was always very truthful.

    Chance was totally book boyfriend material. He was gorgeous like his dad, and even though he never planned, the moment he saw Laken he knew he wanted what his parents have. OMG, he was hot, sexy and a very good young guy. Loved him!

    Secondary characters I’m just going to mention one name: AVA. I loved and adored her.

    Villain/antagonists … Laken’s past.

    All characters were easy to love, connect and understand.

    Freshness: 4/5 That was nothing out of the world original here, but the author took a huge risk here and made her own. The whole thing felt fresh and unique. As fresh as mint mentos!!!

    Plot: believable 5/5, conflict 5/5, dialogue 5/5, ending 5/5, enjoyment 5/5, opening 5/5, pace 5/5, setting 5/5, subplots 5/5, twists 4/5 Great opening and exciting ending. Very believable plot, with sexy dialogues and great pace. Good setting, with interesting subplots and twists. Highest level of enjoyment!

    I loved the concept of this story. I loved how the author made such lovable characters her own and gave them a beautiful plot. It had the drama that all college new adult romance has in addition to the beautiful family concept and feelings.

    Romance: believable 5/5, chemistry 5/5, description 5/5, development 5/5, steam 5/5 These two were explosive together. Their attraction was undeniable and together they generated fire. Hot as hell love story!!!

    Writing Style: 5/5 Complex characters, with well written plot, great pace, sexy romance, amazing dialogues… everything in a cohesive, clean writing style. Writing of a wordsmith!!!

    WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER

    Cover: art 3.5/5, title 5/5, color-font 5/5, buy 4/5 I’m obsessed with book covers. I love to find snippets of the stories within the art. This one was ok. Too generic for me. What really attracted me was the title and the fact that was part of the Cocky Hero Club. I missed a subtitle or something that gave me more of a glimpse of this particular story. I would probably buy this book by its cover, but I had to read the blurb.

    You MAY read this because you love the original series; you SHOULD read this because you enjoy the author; you MUST read this because the hero is swoonworthy!!!
