BLURB
Nola Lewis needs to find a job, lose her boyfriend and train her cat, and not necessarily in that order.

Nola
My life is a complete mess. I have a sister who’s threatening to sue me, my boyfriend’s a douche who I should have dumped years ago. My neighbor’s goat is a freak and my cat is really Satan in a fur coat.

On top of all that I also desperately need a job.

When my best friend’s husband offers me a position in his company, I snap it up. What I don’t expect is to be working with the rude – and unfortunately completely gorgeous - man who sat laughing at me through a coffee shop window.

While I tried to pull my heel from a grate in the sidewalk, as it poured with rain.

I flipped him the bird while I stood glaring, but that didn’t keep him away.

Kato Black is not what I need right now, but I’m not sure my body agrees with me.

Dirty whore.

Cocky Delight is a contemporary romance inspired by Cocky Bastard.

MY REVIEW
A less than pleasant first sighting, when she flips him off for being amused at her heel getting stuck in a street grate, and Kato's hooked by the spitfire. But he'll never see her again, something he laments even as he walks into his office and finds out who his company's new office assistant is. Yep, you guessed - that same spitfire. But, Nola's not about to give an inch to the gorgeous man who laughed at her, so Kato will have to take things very slowly with her. He will have her, though, it just may take him awhile to convince her they're meant to be.
Nola's a sassy, no filter woman in need of a job, a different sister, and a different boyfriend when she first "meets" Kato. When she dumps the boyfriend and gains a new job, things should be looking up. But then the gorgeous guy who laughed at her turns out to work there, too, and he seems intent on starting something with her. She's not into it, into him, or at least that's what she tells herself. But perhaps some no strings fun is on the menu, as long as no feelings are involved so she doesn't get hurt again. Sure...
Cocky Delight is a delight indeed. It's fun and funny, and Nola is a freakin hoot. Really the only thing I didn't like is that she used the word "oriental" to describe Kato. As an Asian, that term horrifies and pisses me off. It's a derogatory term when used to describe a person, it's only for "things" like rugs, NOT PEOPLE. Aside from that, though, I liked Nola and her cocky and delightful man, Kato.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
