Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are excited to bring you the Cocky Hero Club: original works from various authors inspired by Keeland and Ward's New York Times bestselling Cocky Bastard series.
Putting the "sin" in Sin City. It's his job. His vice. His punishment for being alive. He wallows in it, doing whatever he can to fill the hollow spaces left by his grief. His rage.
Performing for screaming women…. A numb cycle of faceless hook-ups, wicked nights, and trying to forget. He is just a body women crave, nothing more. A shell that was once a US Marine…looking for something to fill the void where his heart used to be, but nothing fits.
Until he meets her.
Until he meets the one woman who doesn’t fall for his careless charm, his smirk, his golden tongue. The one woman who brings light into his darkness. She is nothing like the women he's met before, and he finds himself intrigued by her. Fighting every instinct to stay away, to leave her alone. But he can’t. She is beautiful without knowing it, sexy as hell, smart, sweet, and just too good for him. He knows, deep in his bones, she is the one woman who can truly break him…but you can’t break what’s already broken, right?
And what if she heals him instead? What happens when opposites attract and a down 'n' dirty stripper falls for a quiet 'n' curvy librarian?
Down ‘n’ Dirty Dog is an opposites attract/BBW romance inspired by Stuck-Up Suit.

My Thoughts:
Dhaval just wants to forget what’s happened in the past. Catina has self-esteem issues. The author has given them some interesting nicknames that I will let you discover – I thought them cute and what a great motivator to see if they live up to them.
This book has some good things going for it. It’s part of a great series – although I don’t know that I would call Dhaval cocky. He seems more self-assured. He’s also a little complicated. Catina is a woman who just needs the right person for her to see that she’s fine just the way she is. She has a great friend but she just needs something that the friend can’t give her.
Our author had me hooked right from the moment that I read her dedication. If you’ve not been following the Cocky Hero Club inspiration series this might be the perfect place to start. She shows that you can read a book that builds a lot of anticipation before taking the next step in a relationship. Ms. Black made the story seem plausible by having two people that are so far apart that being called a couple almost seemed impossible. But every scene made sense and that anything fictional can seem real.
The only thing I hated was that the story had to come to an end. But getting an audiobook copy will make my experience that much better. She did create a secondary character that works with Dhaval that I was left wondering if I will see him again. And that may be a good incentive to keep a watch out for any new books coming out.
