Cooper is the first Liliana Hart novel/novella I've read and I'm sure to read more by this author. I have already downloaded another two of her novels and can't wait to get started on those.

Being an incurable romantic, this novel hit all the right spots for me. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Cooper and Claire's story. A few things made this novel particularly endearing for me: 1) Clair was a virgin who'd been saving herself for Cooper 2) Clair had a crush on Cooper since she was fourteen years old 3) Cooper had been fighting his attraction to Clair for various reasons, but initially because when she developed feelings for him he was twenty four while she was still a child at age fourteen. What can I say? These few points on their own had me completely hooked and I just had to read their story.

My only complaints - I wish the "novel" (less than 60 pages) was much longer! I also had to suspend belief at times because I found Clair to be surprisingly comfortable in a sex club and quite risqué with her body piercings for a virgin. Having said so, I did find it exciting that this bookish librarian was so passionate and can't wait to get started on my next Liliana Hart novel, the barre has certainly been set high with Cooper's story.

The fourth MacKenzie quartet is at odds with its predecessors. Where the others are light and sexy, this one tries too hard to be something deeper.

Hot cop meets doting virgin. Fear, stubbornness, blah, blah, blah causes angst and delays the sexy romp you've come to expect from these fifty-pagers. Additionally, Claire doesn't feel like a good fit for Cooper. Still, the writing is quality and the story is entertaining.

Loved this book. It shows the struggle cooper had with his feeling for Claire and not been able to be himself as well. Great story. Great HEA.

4.5* Would of given it 5* but it was too short for me, because I love the MacKenzie's and always want more. However it was great to catch up with Cooper and Claire and I hope the way the epilogue was written, means a story about Uncle James and Aunt Mary will happen at some point in the future.

As for this book if your a fan of the Mackenzie's you will love It , and it is definitely worth a read. It has also made me want to go back and read all of the Mackenzie stories, just so I can get my fill for a while at least!!!

See my review of Dane, book 1.

Perversely (actually not!) Cooper is mentioned as the dark brother, the one who does unspeakable things to women, the one whose apartment the brothers don't visit unannounced. So, given the Alphole tendencies of the other brothers I was prepared to be horrified.

Instead, Cooper actually seemed normal compared to the others. He liked BDSM but really just wanted to be loved (aw). After reading these novellas back-to-back (unfortunate turn of phrase) this was a little bit light and fluffy!
