Welcome to Cocker Brothers, six brothers with family loyalty, each story building on the last, written to be enjoyed in any order.

DREW:
Having Jake Cocker as my roommate is the worst idea ever. He's just introduced himself wearing only a damp towel and a smirk. Muscles glistening from the shower. Hair dripping. He mistakenly thought I was a boy because of my name, so now he won't rent to me. I can't stay where I've been - secrets are there I'm not even aware of. I'm imploring him to give me a shot. What other choice do I have? Leave Atlanta, my dreams, and give up?

JAKE:
My brothers and I come from old-money. Dad is Congressman Michael Cocker. Women throw themselves at us. It's boring. We're not into it. But Drew Charles is from a rural Georgia town. She doesn't know about us -- she's not impressed. I only rented to her out of pity, because I hate to see a woman cry. Then I braced myself for a nightmare... But she just hides in her room, studying. Why has that given her the starring role in all of my fantasies? And how can I convince her to make them real?

"...it's Amazing!" - A Thoughtful Reveal Blog

About the Author

Faleena lived in Atlanta when the Cocker Brothers series was born after a conversation with friends about Joe Cocker, the late musician. She told them, "You've gotta be some kind of guy to own a name like Cocker." And the series was born with her writing all of the books in chronological order with many ties to all of the stories in each family's books. With this series, the Tuck Yes series, and even her Werewolves of Chicago and New York series, Faleena's stories focus heavily on loyal families, true love, spicy love scenes, overcoming hardships and going after life in a courageous way despite what's thrown at you. She is also a filmmaker whose movie Just One More Kiss can be found on Amazon.

My Disclaimer:

I purchased a copy of this book at the current price. I am voluntarily providing an honest review in which all opinions are fully my own. I am not being compensated in any way.

~ Judi E. Easley for Blue Cat Review

What it’s about…

Jake Cocker wants a roommate. So he advertises for one in his own unique way.

Drew Charles needs an apartment and answers the advertisement.

Jake doesn’t want to rent to Drew because he assumed Drew meant that she was a he. But she’s a she and Jake’s a bit shaken by her being a she. After arguing back and forth for awhile until Drew was reduced to a few tears, Jake gives in and rents to her. Women’s tears are his kryptonite.

Next, Drew needs a job. So she answers an advertisement.

Jake’s uncle tells him he’s got to interview the applicant for the administrative assistant in the morning.

From roommates to workmates to who knows what. But it can be a rocky road, especially when your BFF gets involved.

Technical Tidbits…

The cover should not have a plain white background. It’s just blah. Put a picture of the apartment there! Just don’t leave it plain white! Note: my copy had a plain white background. I’m not that impressed with the white brick wall behind him.

The storyline was really good. It was fun.

The characters were really good. It was easy to get to know them both. You got their background and you knew what was going on with them the whole time.

The pace was great. You had time to think and time to go with things.

The tension was pretty much constant, but not a killer.

And this is where you STOP if you don’t want to see any SPOILERS…

The good, the bad, and the ugly…and how much it lit up my life… ✰✰✰✰⭒

Looking at the cover, would you believe that some of the largest themes of this book are family unity and family values? It’s amazing. I personally think that the guy on the cover is just a bit too buff, but he’s supposed to be in construction. So, I guess he’s okay. But he doesn’t say family values to me. And yet, that’s like the main theme of the book. Jake doesn’t want to be transferred to Denver because he doesn’t want to be away from his family. His father and mother won’t like it. He works for his uncle. He spends time with his brothers and family a lot. When a brother’s in trouble or needs help with a situation, the other brothers work to help him out. One of the brothers at home called Jett to go to Denver and handle the problem with the drunk employee so that Jake wouldn’t be gone so long.

Even when it comes to Bernie’s drug-hooker problems, the family solved it. No one went off on their own.

When it comes to Drew, the brothers do their best to look out for her while Jake’s away, but she won’t talk on the phone with them or him and won’t see them. Yes, she works for his uncle, but he’s not saying a word.

But once Jake gets back, he ties up the loose ends and asks Drew to marry him. Then all they have to do is choose a letter they like a lot for the babies’ names. They chose E.

Recommended.

After an awful ending to her marriage of close to fifteen years, Drew Charles moved from small-town Georgia to the big city, Atlanta, to find herself and the job she always wanted, but her soon to be ex-husband refused to agree she should pursue, as he claimed to want a stay-at-home wife. Having married right out of high school, Drew had no real work experience and nothing to put on her resume. Although she initially moved in with her best friend, Bernie, Bernie's lifestyle and constant partying is totally incongruous with Drew's needs and she has to find a new place to live and a job ASAP.

Jake Cocker's younger brother just moved from their apartment together after enlisting in the Marines. Looking for a new male roommate, he agrees for Drew Charles (who he assumed from the name to be a male) to see the apartment to determine whether they are a good fit. When female Drew shows up, he immediately tells her no, but her desperation eventually wears him down and he agrees to the arrangement.

None of the six Cocker brothers are settled down or intend to do so in the immediate future, Drew is 8 years older than Jake, and Drew's intentions to find a job and stay away from the attraction between Jake and herself, all being good reasons to keep them apart, eventually fall by the wayside. Unfortunately, after a fight the morning after they first come together, Drew appears for a job interview at Jake's uncle's company, which Jake has worked at for 10 years and helps his uncle run.

This sets the scenario for a variety of experiences and misunderstandings between Drew and Jake. It also introduces us to the six Cocker brothers and their extended family, for future books in this series. This particular story is well written, includes a lot of storyline (including backstory) and character development, as well as a good deal of really delightful repartee between many of the characters. It was a very good beginning to what appears to be an extensive series, covering all the brothers and, thereafter, their children. I'm not sure how far along I'm going to want to keep following the series but, for now, I'm in.

Faleena Hopkins is one of my favorite authors and this is definitely one of my favorite series. I started reading this series about a year ago and only got as far as the first 4 books and then I couldn’t find any of them to be able to finish! I’m reading them as fast as I can (and buying them this time) just in case I can’t find them again.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Sexy, Satisfying Read
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2016

This is my first novel by Ms. Hopkins but not my last. I enjoyed reading about Jake and Drew and getting to meet his whole family; I am a sucker for familial romances.

I did feel, at times, that some of the writing was a bit...young, or perhaps rushed. I don't want to use the word immature, but it wasn't that exactly, but it felt like the writing of a novice. I do believe that that will improve over time.

I also had a hard time with the whole Bernie deal and what I call the "five-minute conversation." I didn't like that their entire estrangement was over that.

Otherwise, the characters were well developed (even if Bernie was a tad over-the-top), the pacing was perfect and the conversations authentic. I have already purchased book two.

Primeiro gostaria de salientar que as leitoras de romance são pessoas inteligentes e educadas e que tem discernimento necessário para escolher seus livros e autores sem se confundirem por capas ou títulos similares. E caso isto aconteça os sites das livrarias tem uma ótima política de devolução.
Eu sou advogada aposentada e posso afirmar que como leitora de romances sou uma pessoa culta e inteligente. E posso afirmar que meus colegas leitores também o são.

Vamos ao livro!

A ideia da autora não é nenhuma novidade no mundo literário.
1- Nora Roberts publicou sua série contando a saga da família Calhoun com o primeiro livro nos anos 90.
2- Brenda Jackson com sua maravilhosa série Westmoreland com mais de 30 livros.
3- Stephanie Laurens com sua Cynster Series com 27 livros.
4- Linda Howard com a maravilhosa família Mackenzie também publicada nos anos 90.
5- Bella Andre com seus Sullivans que já contem 18 livros.
6- Kristen Proby (With Me in Seattle Series)
7- Susan Mallery (Buchanans Series) e tantas outras que eu poderia enumerar.

Como podemos observar é comum nos romances termos séries sobre uma família e seus descendentes, filhos, netos, primos e até amigos da família.

Então porque eu escolhi ler este livro?
Porque eu sempre tive orgulho de fazer resenhas honestas e ter opiniões sensatas e que representassem o que eu senti após ler o livro. E também porque fiquei muito chateada pelo meu comentário a respeito do #cockygate ter sido deletado.
Eu já tinha o livro no meu Kindle porque ele tinha sido oferecido de graça. Até então eu nunca tinha ouvido falar desta autora.
Nosso herói é um arrogante que pensa ser a última gota de água do deserto. A família dele é rica e poderosa e cada irmão dele tem uma habilidade ou característica de destaque. Ele trabalha na empresa de construção do tio dele. Temos um soldado, um biker, um político e etc...
Ele pensa ser irresistível, afinal ele tem corpo escultural, dinheiro e o nome da família por trás de tudo.
Mas o comportamento dele é bem idiota para um cara com 25 anos.
Como sempre ele quer só sexo sem compromisso e tem grande experiência com um monte de mulheres. Ele trata as mulheres como coisas descartáveis e que estão somente atrás do dinheiro dele. Todas são interesseiras e vadias.
Nossa heroína é digna de pena. Eu fiquei embaraçada por ela, coitada! Ela é uma mulher de 33 anos, casada e que foi trapaceada pelo marido e humilhada publicamente. Mas ela nunca trabalhou nem estudou, sempre foi controlada primeiro pelos pais dela e depois pelo marido. Ela nunca experimentou nada da vida e é extremamente ingênua e estúpida.
Ela sai de casa e vai morar com uma amiga dela. Ela não percebe que a amiga além de viciada em drogas é uma prostituta. O grande fluxo de homens entrando e saindo da casa da amiga não foi suficiente para ela entender o que acontecia. Pobrezinha!
A escrita da autora não flui bem, eu tive que reler algumas frases para ter certeza de que era aquilo mesmo que estava escrito.
E temos vários diálogos nas cenas de sexo que supostamente seriam sexy mas que se tornaram ridículos. Ou era pra ser engraçado e não saiu como planejado, acabou ficando estranho.
O drama criado para ter um ponto de conflito na trama só demonstrou a completa falta de cérebro da nossa heroína. A amiga dela, aquela viciada em drogas, atraiu ela para uma armadilha e ela quase foi estuprada. Ela nem desconfiou da amiga.
O final foi bem previsível e o herói salvou o dia. Temos epílogo e bebês.

Das war das erste Buch, welches ich von Faleena Hopkins gelesen habe und ich war angenehm überrascht. Ich mochte den Schreibstil, witzig und flüssig, die Charaktere sind sehr gut beschrieben, man hatte das Gefühl dass man sie schon ewig kennt. Ich konnte das Buch kaum weg legen und habe inzwischen auch weitere Bücher gelesen!
Sechs Brüder und jeder bekommt seine eigene Story, welche erzählt, wie sie für die Liebe kämpfen. In diesem Buch ist es Jake, der sich in eine ältere Frau verliebt welche von ihrem Mann getrennt aber noch nicht geschieden ist. Sie ist 8 Jahre alter und kämpft deshalb gegen die Anziehung. Die Familie und Brüder spielen in jedem Buch eine große Rolle, so dass man neugierig auf die Geschichten der anderen Brüder wird. Der Buchtitel passt wie die Faust auf's Auge.

Niente di che, qualche battuta simpatica, una storia un po' raffazzonata, ma tutto sommato una lettura leggera e piacevole.
Se siete alla ricerca di un romanzo breve, con il solito belloccio di turno, la bellezza (ovviamente inconsapevole della sua beltade) questa volta un po' più grande del protagonista, un paio di scene (quella del loro primo incontro) davvero spassose e un bel tocco di amore zuccheroso sul finale questo fa decisamente al caso vostro. Mi resta solo una domanda, ma solo mia suocera rompe le scatole? Come mai nei romanzi le protagoniste vengono sempre accolte in modo caloroso da queste famiglie fighissime e ricchissime? Mah! Si vede che sono sfigata o forse dovevo trasferirmi negli USA prima di sposarmi.

This is the first book I've read by this author & it definately won't be the last!

Drew Charles needed a fresh start but finding her footing, a room mate & a job is harder than she expected.

Jake Cocker is as cocky as his name suggests & has the looks & confidence to back it up.

A mistaken gender brings them together & starts the push & pull of their friendship/ relationship.
He wants casual, she wants commitment. She is an only child, he is one of six brothers (& holy hell do they all sound hot as sin). Do they have anything in common other than their sexual chemistry?

I loved this book & I hope you will to, highly recommend
