Cocky Hero Club

Cocky Suit

Rate this book
Sexy. Demanding. Cocky.

All words I would use to describe Kingston Avery.
The owner of Avery Capital Holdings— and my new boss.

It was tempting enough working together everyday, but ignoring his wicked promises under his roof was impossible.

But the company had a zero fraternization policy, and things were already complicated enough.

I needed to focus on doing my job.
And avoid doing my boss.

Kingston wasn't just another suit...
He was a cocky suit.
And when the suit came off,
He was a man who could steal my heart.

Gorgeous. Attentive. Compassionate.

I just hope it didn't cost me my career.

This book deserves 10 gazillion stars I loved it that much. You have to read this book it was fantastic. Books that this author writes grab me every time and this book is no different its absolutely fantastic and I enjoyed reading it immensely. From the very first page this book pulled me in and hooked me. This book is a great addition to the cocky hero collection and this office romance will have you loving every page.

Kingston is the owner of Avery Capital and is one hot and sexy guy. He is a very confident and is a very cocky guy which is actually very hot from him and he is a real alpha male that likes things just how he likes them to be. He knows that being cocky keeps everyone in there place and away.

Pria is a beautiful, bubbly sexy woman that you cant help but love. She is very sweet and Kingston is now her new boss. She is going through some personal stuff at the minute and is struggling for somewhere to stay when she gets the most unlikely offer. When she meets Sarah, Jimmy and Orvy and they are lovely and Pria gets more than she bargained for. Pria knew that Kingston was a cocky suit but she wanted to help him anyway, they were helping each other. (NO SPOILERS)

I really love how this author writes and her style of writing is awesome. I loved this book and I couldn't put it down. This author had it all in this book the laughs were hilarious, the loves, the steaminess, the cockiness and the drama was all in perfect balance. This author has written the most amazing characters that I really connected with and I really loved. I loved how relatable Pria is and how funny she was, and I loved how Kingston was because at first I thought he was an arrogant cocky jerk but I loved them both together. They had great chemistry and a great connection and I couldn't put them down I needed to see where there story would end up. I loved the banter and the pooches I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and so will you. I absolutely loved the epilogue too as i always feel like they add something extra special to the story. Thank you to the author for allowing me to read an early copy of this book, I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book in exchange for my voluntary honest complimentary review. I really hope that one day that this author writes about these characters again because I loved them both and Ill love to read about them again. I cant wait for the next installment in the cocky hero series.
This book is expected to be released 28th June 2020.

I love office romances and this one quickly became one of my favorites. Pria and Kingston are amazing, plus Sarah, Jimmy and Orvy. It’s hard not to fall in love with them all. Their story will suck you in from the very start.

Pria is head of HR. She is gorgeous, sweet and has a personality that you can’t help but love. She is down on her luck, without a home, and crushing on her new boss. Kingston is cocky, he is confident and also insanely handsome. However, he has a different side to when he isn’t at the office.

I LOVED the chemistry between Pria and Kingston. From the moment they met sparks were flying off the page and the only continued to grow as the story progressed. There is a great banter between them, too. Plus, Pria taking care of Kingston’s three dogs was hilarious at times. There was a part where Kingston was a major jerk and you kind of want to slap him, however, he makes up for it quickly.

Cocky Suit is full of steam, amazing chemistry, romance and three dogs that will have you falling in love. If you love office romances this one is MUST READ!

Omggg. so this is my first read by this author, I had no idea what I was in for. also my first office romance that had me on pins and needles with excitement. This book had me from the very beginning. Just the execution and timing of the writing was fantastic. I was laughing, crying and screaming sometimes all at once. the hilarious moments that had me LOL, literally. and the doggies. I love dogs! Pria had me dying! Kingston was definitely cocky but I loved him!!! It made me get lost in the book and forget reality for a while. Honestly this was so good that I wanted more and more from both of them. This was a wonderfully delicious refreshing read everyone should dive in to!!!!

Amazing
This is the first book I've read by Harlow Layne and I loved it. I couldn't put it down. I have to say dome of my favorite parts were of Pria walking the dogs. Especially with Sarah. You have Kingston who is such a typical "cocky suit" and always has to be in control softening as he gets to know Pria. Harlow messed with my emotions in this book. I can't say why because I don't want to give anything away. This is a MUST read. This book is so good you'll be turning the pages wanting more. The ending was perfect!!

Cocky Suit was a fun audiobook to listen to. Definitely fell in love with Kingston and Pria. There was just something about them that pulled them toward one another. Luckily for Pria, she found her fiancé cheating on her.. and then he tried to make it better by saying it has been going on for 6 months. So, yeah.. that idiot is long gone and she's living her best life.

Enter Kingston, who is sort of her boss and the owner of Avery Capital. He's definitely cocky and confident with all the sex appeal. Then there's Pria, who is sweet and kind of shy but definitely becomes brighter when Kingston is around. Of course these two had some feelings towards one another but now they can unleash them and go at each other like wild animals.

The sparks, fireworks, and chemistry between these two was amazing. I enjoyed it all! Even the little drama that we got was okay and didn't rub me the wrong way. They just kind of grew on me and I wanted to see what their happy ending would look like. Boy, it didn't disappoint.

I look forward to my next book by this author.

I absolutely LOVED this book Kingston was a HOT Alpha that made you swoon all over him.

If your a lover of doggies you will love the doggies in this book they are so funny spec Jimmy chew 😂😂😂


Pria worked in Human Resources for a company that Kingston bought.

When Pria had a meeting with Kingston about not sacking all the other people from her company he didnt want to have a bar of it.

Kingston fell head over heels for Pria the moment he saw her in his office.

Pria had found her fiance cheating on her and she packed her stuff up left but with no where to go.

Kinsgton asked Pria to stay with him and look after his doggys while he traveled for work.

Kingston gave Pria rules to go by while he was away. She didnt listen to all of them as she allowed the dogs on the furniture hahaha.

Pria thought Kingston was a jerk and had a big ego but at the same time its what made her fall for him.

To find out all the juicy details and all the HOTTNESS Kingston brings you MUST READ!!!!

This is the first time reading a book by this author. I absolutely love office romances and this book was no exception.

This book had me hooked to the point I read it in one sitting. Pria and Kingston were perfect for each other.

This book has the perfect amount of chemistry, banter, drama and love.

However, Sarah, Orvy and Jimmy are the most spoilt dogs I have ever read (or seen) but you can't help but fall in love with them. I am glad they got to meet pixy.

This book is part of the Cocky Hero Club series and I was given a ARC of this book for an honest review.

7 BIG STARS!
YA GOTTA READ THIS ONE…
Okay, here’s the thing, when I review a book I’ve read I don’t usually go into the details of the storyline. I’m not going to here either. BUT I will say that this is a book YA GOTTA READ!
I was less than a quarter of the way through the story and I had already grabbed the tissues to wipe my tears, laughed my head off, and used the tissue box for fanning my hot brow. Yep, lots of stuff happening in this story. I loved every minute of it.
The good part? It gets even better the further into the story you go. Harlow Layne outdid herself with this solid storyline and the in-depth vivid character descriptions. A definite 7 BIG STARS from me.

This is another great addition to the Cocky Hero Club series. Steamy office romance that will have you wishing that you were working at the company. Loved Kingston and Pria. Loved the chemistry between them. It was hot. You could feel it coming off the screen. It was hot enough to melt my kindle. I have read several books from this author and I will be reading more. Loved this story and love her work. Highly recommend this story. You won’t be disappointed.

I read an early review copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

This book had it all: angst, lots of steam, some laughs, some drama, great characters, and a great ending. Kingston is now a top 5 book boyfriend for 2020 for me; he's cocky, he's hot, he can be a jerk, but he has an incredibly soft side that had me swooning every time that side came out. He's a very successful business man, but then Pria comes into his life and gives his life more meaning and more purpose. Also, his dogs are ADORABLE.

Then there's Pria. At first, I wasn't a big fan of her character because I felt like she was selling herself short in so many different ways. But then she battles back, and you get to see the resilient and strong woman that she really is. She has some things happen to her in the book that had my blood boiling, but at the end of it all, she bounces back stronger than ever, and I love her for it. The banter between her and Kingston is hot and had me laughing in some spots, too. She's got some spunk in her!

This is one of my favorite books in this series so far. Such a great read! Thank you to the author for an advanced copy of this book. I loved it, and so will you.

If I could give this book 10 stars, I would!! Cocky Suit was a steamy and entertaining office romance. I absolutely loved Pria and Kingston, their chemistry was off the charts. This was my very first book by Harlow Layne and it will definitely not me my last. So far this is my favorite book in the Cocky Hero Club series.

This book was such an entertaining book! Harlow Layne always delivers such amazing work. I always feel refreshed after reading one of her books.

Cocky Suit was sexy and hot, while also being funny and lovable. I loved the fact they were in an office romance. It’s always interesting to see different authors portray office romances. The connection between Pria and Kingston was instant chemistry. They produced such witty banter between each other. There was a lot of struggles each character had to deal with on their own to to make them better together.

I throughly enjoyed this book and I wouldn’t mind getting bonus scenes of Kingston and Pria. Harlow Layne did a well done job on this book!

*I received and ARC copy of this book.

The man is quick to draw conclusions, “what happened? Did anyone give you a hard time today? An employee? Do I need to fire anyone? ” I asked in rapid fire succession." Kingston is a considerate sort, “I did just brutalize you with my ***k; it’s the least I can do.” For some strange reason, I wanted to do something nice for her..." I liked this book, I loved Kingston

Harlow Layne is a relatively new author to me but after reading Cocky Suit I will certainly be checking out her other works. This is one of those books you know is going to be a special read from the moment to pick it up because you are drawn into the story and you relate to the characters from the moment you meet them.
Kingston is everything you would expect from this title, he is hot, very sure of himself and confident in everything he does , he knows what he wants and normally he gets it add in he is also the owner if Avery Capital and you get one cocky suit....
Pria has just got a new job working at Avery Capital and Kingston is her new boss so how will this stunning beauty with a sweet carefree personality find working for the seriously hot Kingston. Pria has a lot going on in her life and when she finds herself looking for somewhere to stay the last thing she expects is an offer from the boss....
This book has it all, I laughed, I fell in love with Kingston and Pria, I smiled a lot and I really loved this entertaining read. The banter is witty and the chemistry is sizzling but what about those spoilt pooches they took this book to a different level. I loved it all and I’m sure you will too so all that’s left for me to say is please one click this gem.

Cocky Kingston is a great read!

I loved Cocky Suit. And, I have loved the books of Harlow Layne’s that I have read. Her heroines are typically strong women who step out against the flow, and in Pria’s case invite censure, yet stay true to themselves and succeed – in their professional lives. Love, not so much.

Everything about Kingston is the Cocky Suit that Pria accuses him of, and he has reason to be. Perfectly put together (although not quite when Pria first meets him!!!), handsome and richly endowed in ‘every’ way, he is aloof with his staff and rules with fear. He knows it and revels in it. Until a petite sized hottest thing he’d ever seen, saw beneath the suit...

...and into a heart most didn’t know existed. How can a man who owns three extremely spoilt dogs not have a heart of gold hidden somewhere deep, deep, deep, deeeeeeeep inside. And they are his for the saddest reason. Of course with pets in the picture, the cocky connection is going to be a hilarious run in with Aubrey and Pixie the goat, with a side of Chance.

Without going into the plot, I have to say that I absolutely loved the back and forth banter between Pria, Kingston, and the dogs. She was feisty and funny, and she took no prisoners. Except for those spoilt dogs in question, she was definitely out of her element, but oh holy crap, she managed to fake it and make it, most of the time! Kingston was often either on the back foot with her or knocking his head against a wall. The chemistry was intense, and the situations were often hilarious.

All I can say is that you have to read it. It’s a little different to her usual books, but no less engaging. Harlow Layne has done awesome with this Cocky rom-com. 4.5 Stars.

Harlow layne makes my life for office romances rise. It is not my go to trope, but by golly, she knows how to write an office romance with EVERYTHING I need in a romance book. Her characters are so relatable and witty, the situation is full of angst and chemistry off the charts.

Harlow layne has proven she can write more than one romance trope and it shows like a master. This is definitely a MUST READ by Harlow Layne. You will one click her from here on out!!

Kingston and pria - totally swooning here. Apart, they are tough, bossy and insecure. Once they see what is in front of them, cue the fireworks. HOLY MOLY. Between dogs and the office, you will need to take a break to cool off. As they go through this crazy journey, you see Pria’s personality come out and show their true colors. Kingston’s dog - enough said. The banter is absolutely hilarious and will have you laughing out loud - literally.

What a great story full of chemistry, spunk, bossiness and everything in between. Well done Harlow Layne!!

I was immediately drawn to Cocky Suit! So much so that I read it in one sitting, well, actually two because I had to work, you know?
This is a charming, fast-paced rom-com that flows seamlessly. With an entertaining plot and compelling characters.
I couldn’t help but to relate to Pria and fall in love with Kingston from the very first page. I loved them together and I loved them apart. Their chemistry and connection made me swoon. They gave me the perfect combination of sweet and sexy moments.
Harlow’s writing is incredible. She made me laugh, smile, blush and even cry a little.
So if you are looking for a steamy and sweet office romance with a cocky boss, an adorable woman and a bunch of charming dogs, this is a must-read for you!

5 Star Review Cocky Suit (Cocky Hero Club) by Harlow Layne
AUDIO REVIEW:

I am loving this series as I have found so many new authors to read. Cocky Layne is part of The Cocky Hero Club inspired by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward.

I was hooked on the story that Ms.Layne wove from the first to the last chapter. I really loved the main characters of Kingston Avery and Pria Wang. These two have a history and the attraction and chemistry sizzle between them and hard to resist.

This story had a little angst, but it was the banter and the humour that had me laughing so much. It was also a romantic and entertaining fun read that left me with a smile on my face. It was steamy and you cannot help but become invested in the story that Ms. Layne wove.

I can not tell you how much I absolutely love this book! Cocky Suit is full of steamy, swoon worthy, fantastic moments and I am so glad I got to pick up this book and read it!

My love for steamy romances will never leave me and this book has just contributed to why that is a fact. It is filled with all the feels that I crave in my romance novels. I am absolutely in love with Kingston, like damn, and Pria, god I love that name, is someone I can honestly relate to hard core. Maybe not in the way of how she was brought up but her personality is one that could mirror my own. Especially since she has the taste of men like Kingston.

Cocky Suit is a book that I have had a hard time putting down and remembering that life is a thing. That I have people to feed and a job to work. But no, I wanted to sit in my bed all day, snuggling with my dogs, and reading this book. I am completely in love!

And as a little side note here: *I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.*

This was an fantastic read . It was fresh , fun and enjoyable office romance. I really enjoyed the author’s writing style. The plot was captivating and I loved the characters they were relatable and lovable . Thrown in with some dogs with absolutely catchy names . I went in this book blindly and was not expecting anything , plus this being the first book I am reading by this author I was hugely surprised how much I enjoyed this book and authors writing style. Both the characters had perfect chemistry . The story was a perfect balance of romance, emotions and comic timing. Another great addition to CHC novel series. Now that the author is on my radar would be checking out more books by her .

WOW can anyone say HOT?!?! Talk about sizzling chemistry in this office romance. There is something special about Harlow Layne’s brand of romance. You can depend upon it to warm your soul. She shows what she does best: crafting stories that we can trust her to get us to that happy ending with a little bit of strife, but a whole lot of loving. Such an amazing read, I couldn’t put it down and read it all in one evening. Be sure to grab a copy of this book. You won’t be disappointed. I was given an advance copy of this book for an honest review.

It was steamy cute romance and additionally with wonderful dogs in it. Pria was raised in certain way, but never gave up on her dreams. She got dream job with the most dreamy boss you can have. Dreamy but cocky to the extreme as well. It was interesting watching their interactions. And I loved even more her interactions with the dogs. This book is great steamy romance with little bit of danger, little bit of laugh , little bit of troubles and really sexy scenes. Instant connection between Pria and King, however improbable, is really wonderful. I loved every minute of it.

Oh boy so much to say about Kingston and Pria. I loved these two so much. The way they met and to the very last page had me on the edge of my seat. Office romance is one of my top favs and Harlow didn’t disappoint with this one. The banter between these two were on point. The back and forth between these two will keep you on your toes throughout the whole book. The dogs!!! The dogs were a huge factor in this book, and I loved them so much. Actually I loved everything about this book.

I absolutely loved Kingston! He nay be cocky but there's so much more to him. Pria and Kingston made such a great story. The dogs were an added element that made you really connect to both characters deeply. They also added a bit of humor. Love all of Harlow's stories but Kingston is one of my fave!

What a fun read! Pria and King’s love story was destined for nothing but happiness. Of course there’s always drama in a good love story, and this one didn’t disappoint, some scary, but in the end true love will always prevail.

All in all this book had everything necessary for a great story, lots of love from hearts, dogs and King’s extra big.... heart, yeah that’s what was big 😉. There was a good enough amount of laughter, teasing and lots of steam.

Enjoy this book, I sure did!

This was my first Cocky Hero Club book and I can't wait to read the others. This is also my first book by this author and I can't wait to read more.

I never wanted this story to end. The names of Kingstons's dogs and Pria's experience with them were hilarious. I enjoyed the interactions with Pria and Kingston and felt their chemistry.

Holy Hottie in a Suit and Tie y’all!! 👔 Cocky Suit is LIFE. It is MY KIND OF BOOK! It was everything I didn’t know I needed in my life right now. But like a metaphorical calgon take me away bath, it gave me respite from all the stress going on today. I couldn’t help but to be swept away by Kingston and Pria’s steamy, office romance. As always Harlow Layne captivated me from page one until the very last page with the most perfect blend of smokin hot scenes, swoony worthy moments, sweet words, and hilarious antics!

Oh boy!! I gotta girl crush. Pria is this perfectly feisty, petite sized, pixie of a woman. She is smart and beautiful and strong headed, despite the way her upbringing would suggest, which is somewhat of a more submissive type of woman. She is very independent and I’m in love with her “take no shitaki” attitude.

When her life was suddenly flipped on its axis she handled it brilliantly. I found her approach to how she handled different situations throughout the story both admirable and at times funny. Her character kept me in stitches with a combination of hilarious one liners, funny mishaps, and well timed verbal jabs! The character Harlow Layne created when she dreamed up our phenomenal Pria was nothing short of perfection and she will go down as one of my absolute favorite “Harlow’s Heroines.”

Kingston was the ultimate “Harlow’s Hero.” He is amazingly hot and he is alpha AF. At first one would think this Cocky Suit wearing, gorgeous god of a man is the biggest jerk ever. But like all of Harlow’s guys he has this amazing depth to his character that explains why he is the way he is. I love the way he is and all his interactions with Pria. They have this amazing push and pull going on that you just know is going to be explosive when they give in. The anticipation of that legit kept me on the edge of my seat. They were hot as blue blazes my friends!

They were also witty and their banter which was brought to us in dual POV which I love most in the world was top notch. Harlow constantly blew me away with her ability to balance the perfect amount of a charmingly sweet storyline that will grab you right off the bat, smokin hot scenes that will melt both your panties and your kindles, twists in the story you won’t see coming and fantastically timed hilarious moments to break it all up in between.

I always know I’m gonna fall hard for the secondary characters in her books because she pays just as much attention to detail when creating them. But nothing could have prepared me for the trio of pampered pooches we get in this book. From their outrageously standout names to their one-of-a-kind personalities, these unforgettable additions to the book kick it up a few notches to such exciting and hilarious places. I’m obsessed with Pria and Kingston, but no lie..I would give my big toe for a bonus chapter from the dogs POV. It would be hilarious! But seriously my friends, I cannot possibly recommend this book enough!

My cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up for this book!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐️- 👔 Six Suit and Tie Stars!! I’m obsessed with Kingston and Pria. Between them and my favorite trio of coddled canines this book was everything. It was hot and sexy and funny. It also had some suspense and frustration and laughter. So it had EVERYTHING! 🙌🏻😍🙌🏻
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥- GAH! Kingston and Pria together was a panty scorcher kinda book. So HAWT!! 🔥🔥
🌪Cliffhanger Warning-*inserts happy sigh* I LOVE the ending!! Just perfect! 🙌🏻😍🙌🏻
