BLURB
I was supposed to be starting a new life.
But, fate had something else in mind.
I was in my senior year of college and had just started a new job at Morgan Financial Holdings and I was bound and determined to get my foot in the door of the business world. I refused to ask my Uncle Hollis for more help. He had given up his life to take care of me, no way was I going to ask him for anything else.
However, my new professor, Declan Berkshire, just happened to be a huge cocky jerk. As the heir to a real estate franchise, he was both rich and a celebrity-- and truth be told, the hottest guy I had ever met.
He also happened to be a client at Morgan Financial Holdings. Just my luck, right?
While I tried to keep a safe distance from Declan, he was finding every way possible to get my attention.
We both knew it was wrong to fall into a relationship. He is my professor and I had way too much to lose if anyone were to find out, but we just couldn’t help ourselves.
Then, we became front-page news.
Fearing I may have to drop my last class before earning my degree, I tried to end my relationship with Declan. Refusing to give me up, Declan fought for us when I didn’t think it was possible.
With so much on the line, Declan made one of the most difficult decisions and one that led us to our own magical romance. But, it hasn’t been easy and someone is out to stop us from getting our happily ever after.

MY REVIEW
Hailey wants to make her way in the world without financial help. Her Uncle Hollis and Aunt Elodie (from Vi and Penelope's Park Avenue Player) wanted to gift her a luxurious penthouse and fund her way through college, but she decided to do things her own way. So when she meets a client and thinks he's gorgeous, she's having a hard time keeping away from him. Then he ends up being her professor and that's where things get really complicated because Declan's made it clear he wants her. Now she has to decide if it's worth it to give in, or should she keep her distance because she stands to lose everything if they're found out?
I usually love me a good forbidden professor story, but I have to admit that Cocky Professor just did not work for me. The dialogue was choppy and stilted, and the spark between the two was dim at best. I just couldn't get behind them as a couple, didn't particularly care for either of them, and the writing was not quite up to par with the rest of the stories I've read in the Cocky Hero Club so far, and definitely not up to the standards of Vi and Penelope, whose works are being celebrated by this series.
