Summary

From New York Times best sellers Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland comes a sexy new standalone novel.

He was someone who belonged in my wildest fantasies instead of a rest stop in the middle of Nebraska. A sexy, cocky Australian named Chance was the last person I expected to run into on my cross-country drive. When my car broke down, we made a deal. Next thing I knew, we were traveling together, spending sexually tense nights in hotels, and taking unplanned detours. My ordinary road trip turned into the adventure of a lifetime.

It was all fun and games until things got intense. I wanted him, but Chance wouldn't make a move. I thought he wanted me, too, but something was holding him back. I wasn't supposed to fall for the cocky bastard, especially when I knew we'd be going our separate ways. All good things must come to an end, right? Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.

Author's note: Cocky Bastard is a full-length standalone novel. Due to strong language and sexual content, this audiobook is not intended for listeners under the age of 18.

Not as bad as other reviews suggest

The reviews I read made me cautious of this audio. Although at first the male narrators accent threw me off cause it wasn’t 100% Australia there were occasions where American twang came in which was in line with the character. Once I accepted this as normal and chance’s accent I really got into it. If ur only used to listening to audio book with American accent it’s always weird when a different one come in. Despite being British the first time I heard a genuine British accent I was really freaked by it. So my advice is buy this audio and accept when the male narrator comes on it will initially sound weird that’s cause ur not used to aussy accent on audio books, but once you lear to go with the flow ull have a wail of a time.

Definitely a tale of two halves!

Loved this story but boy the male narration was bad! From the accents to the tone and even the fluctuating volume. I only persevered because I wanted to know what happened! The female narrator was brilliant and she could clearly have narrated the entire book

A really enjoyable story

(Spoiler alert) Firstly I must say I loved this audio book the story and idea was great !! However performances make or break a audiobook that was definitely true in this case. I loved Michelle Ferguson's voice and performance she matched my idea of Aubry perfectly and her change if voice for Chance was perfect too., I liked Aaron Abano's performance but his voice didn't match my idea of Chance at all which made listening to the 2nd half of the book really difficult. I soldiered on because I loved the story and wanted to know what happened the HEA was worth the wait😀💞

Fun story

Story was great. Passion and comedy had the right balance. Book just let down by the narrators. Poor accents which made it more of a chore to listen too. Better when reading the book yourself via kindle

A tale of 2 halves

I loved the first half of the book told with Aubrey’s point of view. Both the narrator and the story were brilliant.
The second half of the book is told from Chance’s POV, I found it so frustrating to listen to. I have had audible books with the narrator Aaron Abano before and loved listening to him, this book however was not good casting. He made Chance sound like an annoying whiny bastard not a cocky bastard. Did not enjoy the second part of the book at all. Had to skip most of it as it dragged out too much

Not the best.

I normally get excited to have time to listen or make time. This book was not like that. The story overall was good but the narrators voices just were not my cup of tea.
