Cocky Carpenter by Maggie Mundy
5.0
Suspenseful Romance Is Feast For the Senses
4.5/5 Stars
What you need to know about Cocky Carpenter:
✔ Setting in Australia’s Blue Mountains
✔ A touch of suspense to this romance
✔ Complete stand-alone
✔ Beautiful British Doctor heroine
✔ Hot Aussie Carpenter hero
✔ If you loved British Bedmate by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, you will get to see more of Simon and Brigid and also Chance and Aubrey from Cocky Bastard!
Maggie Mundy is a new author to me as are a lot of the Cocky Hero authors. I really enjoyed reading “Cocky Carpenter” so I’ll be looking for more of her books. “Cocky Carpenter” is a great mix of romance and suspense without being strictly what I would call a romantic suspense novel. It just had that extra dash of spice to get you on the edge of your seat without it being all about the suspense. One of the real stars in this book is the backdrop; the descriptions of the Blue Mountains are really wonderful if not a wee bit scary (Australia is a little scary, okay?)!
The absolute star of this book is Brett and Autumn’s relationship from their first meeting (Brett’s STD check-up), their second meeting (Brett’s rescue of naked Autumn in the tub) to their glow worm expedition and let’s just say every interaction these two have. They are fantastic. I love that Brett is not the “typical” Aussie bloke that a lot of romances might portray, he’s sensitive and compassionate to Autumn. Autumn has suffered some setbacks in her life but she’s tough but vulnerable and open.
I didn’t even mind the third person narration as you get in both their heads. I loved seeing both couples from “British Bedmate” and “Cocky Bastard”. I loved Bluey and Dorothy. I loved that Maggie Mundy trusted the reader with the language. Kudos for this great addition to the Cocky Hero Club.
WRITING STYLE: 5/5
PLOT: 4/5
WORLD-BUILDING: 4/5
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: 4/5
ROMANCE: 4/5
HEAT: 4/5
Many thanks to Give Me Books Promotions, the Cocky Hero Club, and Maggie Mundy for an ARC in exchange for an honest book review of “Cocky Carpenter”. My thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and independent of receiving an advance copy.
