ARC received from authors for an honest review

Ahhhh, who doesn't love a cocky a-hole (well, in their books, I am sure they would be quite unbearable IRL!!)

This dastardly due of Wolf and Sloane have given us one heck of a sexy office romance. I mean, they say fighting is foreplay - and our lovelies Decker and Tate do love to foreplay!

Now, Decker is one of "those" guys, that you can't help but hate (I may have been calling him "Dicker" in my head), however by the end of it, you just can't help but fall for him.

This collaboration is kind of a perfect merger - of authors and of characters.

I have not read any of Alex Wolf prior to this story, however I will be doing so in the future.

So when it comes out, buy this book, buy a ham and pineapple pizza <=== that was just for you, Sloane Howell, and enjoy a hot as f&*k office romance.

I absolutely freaking loved this book. It was such a easy read. I loved Tate she had a kicka** attitude, she knew what she wanted and wasn’t afraid to get it. Decker was such a sweetheart but hot damn his dirty talk was off the charts! Jenny was so adorable and such a doll. I really enjoyed it.

One of my favorite kinds of books is enemies to lovers, and this is a good example why. Decker and Tate are explosive together in more ways than one. I loved the chemistry and the snarky banter. The only thing lacking for me was the book was a bit anticlimactic. The issue was brought up and resolved in just a few pages.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a decent book. It definitely got more exciting the more I read. The beginning was kinda meh honestly. Kinda boring. But as you continue, you can feel the sexual tension between Tate and Decker. I love how confident and powerful Tate is. She isn't afraid to stand up to a guy. Decker is cute and sweet when it came to Tate and his daughter Jenny. He is a great dad. As for Jenny, I love her. She is super mature and I appreciate the fact that she understood that Tate made her dad happy. She didn't throw a fit and was really good at warming up to Tate. The Collin brothers were straight-up annoying. Jenny, the fourteen-year-old is more mature than the three of them combined. Overall, I enjoyed the book. The beginning was kinda slow, but after the half way point, it goes by in a flash.

Two highly successful law firms are merging. One's in Texas, the other's in Chicago. Tate comes up with her boss to the windy city to assist with the merger. She's tough, she's strong, and she doesn't lose. Decker is looking to lighten his load and so the merger is the perfect solution. Getting his brothers on board is another story. He's not looking for any sort of distraction and yet Tate is a temptation he finds impossible to resist. These two were on attack-mode right from jump. The authors did an incredible job of capturing not only their different perspectives, but how their chemistry became almost a living, breathing entity. Both characters, in their own ways, tried (although not very hard) to keep things professional, but there was nothing professional in the way they dealt with each other. It was very easy to see how something illicit and intense would brew between them.

My only real hangup with this story was with how aggressive Tate came off. There were so many instances of her being insubordinate and nothing was really said or done to curtail her behavior. Merger and all, wasn't Decker her superior? She wasn't even a partner at her firm! I'm all for a woman who knows how to hang with the men and doesn't let misogyny get her down, but Tate went too far. A girl don't need no man and yet she was constantly imagining ways to be dominated by Decker. Ummm... what? I just didn't find her very attractive and despite how much I was supposed to be convinced that Decker found her qualities to be all that he was looking for in a woman, she came off as a bit too abrasive. Even during tender moments I didn't feel like she really softened.

In the end, my issues didn't really matter because I enjoyed the story overall. It was HOT! With a ton of flirtatious banter, innuendo, and one upmanship, Cocky Playboy turned out to be a sexy office romance not to be missed!
