A review by readfrenzy
Cocky Client by Whitney G.

4.0

This was a nice little quickie. Actually, it has the potential to be a really enjoyable full-length book. I’m kind of surprised Whitney G chose to write this fun and sexy story as a novella instead.

Let’s face it. Ryan is a cocky jerk, but at least he isn’t mean. Lauren is shy at times, yet she isn’t afraid to stand up for herself when it counts. I enjoyed their witty bantering and the various email exchanges between characters.

In addition to an entertaining storyline, Cocky Client has some really interesting supporting players that I would love to explore more; for example, Ryan’s best guy friend, her germaphobe roommate, her douchey ex, and Ryan’s sensible brother. I also wanted to see more of the specific challenges that Lauren faces while working directly with Ryan to reform his image. The story jumps forward several weeks at a time and I missed the day-to-day head butting.

I enjoy novellas when they are convenient and I don’t expect them to be anything more than a snack. However, I know what an awesome cook Whitney G is. Cocky Client is a really good snack that left me hungry for more. Given more meat and additional time it could be very satisfying meal.
