GRR Reviews Mr. Cocky: London Billionaires by Nana Malone

NOTE: The book is currently unavailable as of this review's publication.

Mr. Cocky is about a man who seduced his boss, but was under threat to spy on her company from her rival brother. The angst is barely there.

Nick is going places, and he's just couple months shy of finishing his masters. Then he can find a real job and get out of the bartending job, put his mom in a real place to life instead of the crime-infested apartment, and maybe, put his brother on the straight-and-narrow. In the meanwhile, he will get by with flirting at his bartending jobs, no more taking women for a quick romp, even if they are perfectly willing, and he's one handsome guy, and cocky, of course. That is, until his brother came to him, needing 10000 smackers or else the bad guys will take it out of his hide. Then the devil known as Simon came to Nick... Simon believes his sister Selena should not be leading their father's company... He should. So he wants a spy in Selena's company, and Nick going to intern there any way. Nick needed the money, so he acquiesced, and found Selena, his boss, to be extremely charming, yet innocent, and Nick knows exactly how to please a woman like that... But the more Nick wooed Selena, the more real his emotions got. Can Nick play both sides? Or will his family cost his love?

There are several problems that made the book below average. 1) Simon was too "cliche bad". He is just full of ego and believes he can run the company better, so how would a spy help him accomplish that? That wasn't explained. 2) Where does a rich guy like that find thugs anyway? The phonebook? Yet Simon employed thugs multiple times to push Nick back in line 3) The MMC and FMC did not resolve their problems. A deus ex machina was thrown in and the day was saved through some divine intervention. WTF?! That's cheating.
