Cocky Captain (Cocky Hero Club) By Ellie Masters
Based upon the New York Times Bestselling series by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, Cocky Captain is a sexy new standalone novel in the Cocky Hero World.
Ex-fighter pilot, Logan Reid, is exactly the kind of man I despise. He’s a cocky jet jock, a former Navy Blue Angel, and full of all the arrogance that comes with being the best of the best.
I’m an ex-Zoomie, a female Air Force tanker pilot. The rivalry between our sister services is nothing compared to that between fighter jocks and tanker pilots. We’re bitter rivals and I’m low-man (woman) on the totem pole
The last thing I need is to spend six hours at thirty-five thousand feet locked in a cockpit with the cocky captain. But I have no choice. I’m his co-pilot, and we’re taking the CEO of Montague Enterprises, and his family, on a mini-vacation to the Grand Caymans.
We have three days on the ground before we fly back.
Three long days in paradise and he wants to spend them with me.
I have a thing for fighter pilots.
It isn’t animosity, exactly, but rather a deep-seated dislike. They get all the glory while the rest of us sit at the butt end of their jokes and wither beneath their ridicule.
I hate fighter pilots. There, I said it. I hate the arrogant pricks with a passion.
But after one look into those magnetic eyes, and the devastating wink which follows, I’m thinking of throwing caution to the wind. What harm can come from some innocent flirting?
I’m not prepared for the air to sizzle when he’s close.
I’m not ready for our explosive chemistry when he touches my skin.
I’m not equipped for the fallout when our three days come to an end.
Nothing can prepare me when I have to walk away.
And I’m not ready for what comes next.
He’s arrogant.
He’s cocky.
He’s determined to get what he wants.
And he refuses to let this end.
He’s fighting for a forever…with me.
But, what if I’m not ready for our beginning?
He's arrogant enough to prove me wrong. Cocky Captain (Cocky Hero Club)
review ☆ eBook or Kindle ePUB ☆ Ellie Masters
Here's what I love about sassy women: They don't give a sh*t about what you think of them, and can stand on their own two feet without any issue.
Ellie Masters (a new to me author) does a PHENOMENAL job of showing what a powerful woman Angel is and that the likes of one hottie fighter pilot named Logan won't stop Angel from achieving what she wants out of life.
But Angel didn't count on falling for the fighter pilot. Suddenly, her world is rocked on its axis, and what she wanted all her life suddenly becomes a dim memory when something more powerful is staring her right in the face--love.
Logan abides by one rule when it comes to women--win her, have her in his bed, but never keep her for longer than that. But when he comes face to face with Angel, his world gets tipped upside down, and now suddenly he has to fight with one thing he wasn't counting on-his heart.
This was another great book in the Cocky World Series, and I look forward to more books from this author! Cocky Captain (Cocky Hero Club) I’m no stranger to devouring a book in a single sitting, but over the last few years I’ve tried to stop reading books until stupid o’clock in the morning. Cocky Captain made me break that rule, as once I started this one I could not put it down. It probably wasn’t the best idea with how I started this one at half eleven at night, but such was the case.
The first couple of chapters, I was a wee bit uncertain about this one. It certainly had me interested, but I wasn’t quite sure if I was going to love it. Then, once things got moving, I was lost to the story. I was hooked on the characters, fell deeply for them, and was so invested in how everything would play out. There was so much to this one, and the chemistry between the characters had me wearing a stupid smile throughout. It was the best kind of intense, a story that hooked me on every level.
In truth, this was more of a four-point-five-star rating. I came close to rounding this one up, as I was super hooked and loved the characters, but there were a couple of things that I felt weren’t quite developed all the way and were pushed a bit aside once they had served their purpose. Of course, I’m just super picky about giving five-star ratings. In fact, I loved this one enough that I’m hoping the side characters get stories, as I will happily devour them.
All in all, this was a fabulous read, and I’ll certainly be diving into more Ellie Masters books in the future. Cocky Captain (Cocky Hero Club) Logan Reid is the epitome cocky: sexy, gorgeous, dirty talking and overly confident. I'm sure there is a statue of him somewhere that's been erected in honor of his cockiness. I swear that I chuckled my way through the entire book because of all the ridiculous things he uttered, courtesy of Ellie Masters. He's the ultimate flyboy, nickname and all (you have to read the book to find out what it is.) But, he's about to get his wings clipped by Angel Mars and here's a clue she hates fighter pilots. She also, by his admission, can fly circles around him. She's successfully made her mark in what's essentially a male dominated profession. While he admires her flying abilities, he's determined to quickly seduce her while they're on a three day flying assignment to the Cayman Islands. She's just as determined about keeping things professional and him at arm's length. As far as Logan's concerned, challenge accepted. Cocky Captain (Cocky Hero Club) This was my first read by this author, and now I am such a huge fan!! I have been loving this world that so many different authors have come together to create, and can't get enough of it!
Banter is a must-have for me in my romances, and this book had it in spades!!! I was smiling and cracking up for the majority of the time I was reading, and just couldn't get enough of these amazing characters!
Logan is a family orientated man who has no desire for a relationship. He's cocky as the title suggests, hilarious, sexy, sweet, vulnerable, ridiculous and everything else in between.
Angel is a badass female pilot in a prominently male field. She strongly dislikes flyboys, and wants nothing to with Logan's smolder and dirty one liners.. until she lets her guard down and sees Logan for the amazing man that he really is.
Though quick, this was an amazing story that I couldn't get enough of! I was laughing so hard, feeling all the feels, and melting along side of my kindle during the sexy moments. You don't want to miss out on this book!
**I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions!** Cocky Captain (Cocky Hero Club) Cocky Captain immerses us into the world of Mister Moneybags and if it is instant attraction, heat and a little push and pull that you crave, then strap yourself in for one hell of a flight. Logan and Angel are in for a little turbulence as the chemistry between these two sizzles and the storm of attraction brews to breathless moments. The banter between these two is not only passionate but hilarious. A story that is not only flirty, sexy and drama filled but has just enough romance to give you a smooth landing. Cocky Captain (Cocky Hero Club)
If you loved Dex and Bianca from Mister Moneybags then you need to read COCKY CAPTAIN. I’ve never read anything by Ellie Masters before but really enjoyed her writing style and will be reading more of her work in the future.
I loved Logan, but my heart was beating for Angel. She truly is the type of book heroine that I adore, and wasn’t afraid to put that cocky pilot in his place. With heaps of funny moments and insane chemistry, this is definitely one of my favourites from the Cocky Hero Club so far. Cocky Captain (Cocky Hero Club) Another reason why I love this author is this book, which shows her writing versatility. Cocky Captain is a book that will keep you engaged from start to finish with the whit and humor of both Logan and Angel, then add in their off the charts chemistry and the beautiful setting of the Cayman Islands for part of the book, and now you have a read that you won't be able to put down. These two characters were perfect for each other, Angel is a strong female pilot that won't let Logan get away with his normal shenanigans. And Logan is just the person to get Angel to step outside of her normal routine to see what life could be like outside of the box. This was such a fun read that I did not want their story to end. Cocky Captain (Cocky Hero Club) Cocky Captain is one of my favorite reads of 2020 so far. I enjoyed Ellie Masters storytelling and writing style. The words just flow nicely from start to finish and you don't even see the ending coming. Angel and Logan's banter and chemistry is hot and funny. I enjoyed their verbal fighting and found myself laughing out loud more than once. It's hot, romantic and just a great cocky read.
Review by Raychel Cocky Captain (Cocky Hero Club) Cocky Captain was totally and absolutely an amazing read full of steamy scenes and rock-your-world romance! The characters were a blast! Their relationship ignited upon contact and the intense chemistry was full of flying sparks. Logan Reid is by far the best male lead I’ve read in a while. Logan is a man who is self-assured and open about where his mind constantly resides. His dirty mouth had me laughing and blushing every minute. The back and forth banter they shared made their relationship flourish and turned this romance into an amazing story. Author Ellie Masters really showed how talented she is. Her words kept me engrossed in the story and made me fall for a man named Logan Reid. In these days of self-isolation and uncertainty in the world, Cocky Captain fit the bill for a little self-care.
Angel is a strong female character. She has fought hard for everything she has and is not going to jeopardize her career for any man looking for a quick roll in the hay looking to give his stallion some exercise. She’s not even sure if she needs a man in her life but those dazzling blue eyes, innuendos, and taboo euphemisms by the minute coming from the sinful mouth of her co-pilot have her writhing and wondering how she is going to keep away. The heat is intense between Angel and Logan and together they rocked my world.
Logan and Angel’s journey to love was a joy to read. The setting of the Cayman Islands let me escape to a tropical paradise and envision how sweet love can be. Ellie Masters did a fantastic job with this Cocky Hero Novel. I really like stories where playboys finally get hit with cupid’s arrow and they are powerless against the pull of love. The ending of Cocky Captain has a few surprises which turned it into one of my all-time favorites. Be ready to smile, laugh, and fall in love while you read this one. I can’t wait to see if there are more books to come for Logan’s single brothers. Cocky Captain (Cocky Hero Club) This book was a fun read. Sometimes reading romance novels, you get bogged down in the angst. Cocky Captain was just pure unadulterated romance with some hints of kink. But what won out more than anything was the romance of Logan and Angel. I know this is Ellie's first book in the Cocky Hero series by various authors, and I hope it is not her last. I liked her slight diversion from her usual themes.
First off, the banter in this book is off the charts. Angel and Logan from the meeting have, aside from the physical chemistry, verbal sparring that is not only hot but hilarious. The whole alliteration thing that keeps feeding on itself kept me in giggles. But the steam between these two is off the charts. Ellie's passionate scenes have an edge to them, unlike any other authors. She manages to keep it swoony but, at the same time, blow it the heck up with passion.
Logan is a family guy who has avoided relationships and kept everything light. Angel is a talented and capable pilot in a field dominated by, well, cocky men. She's private and unwilling to do anything that will jeopardize her position and hard-fought-for respect. It takes Logan a while to figure this out and work his way beyond Angel's defenses.
What really enchanted me about this book was underneath all the cocky was a tender-hearted guy who fell in love and wanted a relationship. Angel took convincing. And then is the competitiveness that exists between the two of them and their attempts to out-do each other. The competitiveness makes for hilarious situations and, honestly, one of the funniest scenes I think I have ever read involved a Purple Hat Club.
One thing Cocky Captain has got me interested in is reading more of the Cocky Hero series. However, I remain a fan of Ellie Masters has she broadens her scope and continues to write hot, passionate, and oh so satisfying romances. Cocky Captain (Cocky Hero Club)
