He was infuriating, arrogant and conceited. He was also my new seatmate.Fifteen hours stuck next to the definition of tall, dark and handsome, and the only thing on his mind on our trip from California to Sydney… was me.Ky Bateman made no secret of the fact he wanted me, and I made it clear he drove me crazy.When my resolve finally wavered, we made a bet. I lost, he won, and I found myself on the … found myself on the back of his motorcycle, on the adventure of a lifetime.
I never intended to fall for the master manipulator, especially when I knew I was keeping secrets that could destroy everything between us.
All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.
Author note – Master Manipulator is a full-length standalone novel.

Blake’s and Ky’s story was a fantastic reading experience. I loved their bantering back and forth. Their chemistry together was off the charts hot! They had me laughing one moment and then crying the next. Yes, there’s a tiny bit that’s sad, but it completely made their story perfect. I also loved that Aubrey and Chance had brilliant supporting roles in this book. I’m loving this Cocky Hero Club world collection.
There’s a reviewer on my team that has read quite a few books by this author, so she was practically yelling at me thru my laptop screen to read this book!! LOL So I did. HOLY BALLS KIDS I am still smiling ear to ear over this one! Not only did Ky and Blake sweep me off my feet, but their story did as well! Their chemistry was insane. The story’s chemistry was insane. It was just all insane LOL Man; it was fun reading this book.
Great chemistry. Witty Banter. Insta-love. Nicole Goodin does a great job of bringing these wonderful, relatable characters together for a quick, fun, entertaining, and enjoyable read. I recommend reading this book.

Master Manipulator by Nicole S. Goodin is the story of Ky and Blake and is part of the Cocky Hero Club Series…but can be a standalone book if you wish to do so. Blake has broken her engagement so she is off men in general when she meets Ky. Ky see Blake at the airport and he is smitten from the start. So he has to sit with her on the flight she is on. Blake works to keep up her barriers toward Ky but he is hard to resist and he makes sure its that way. Enjoyed their hot story.
I really enjoyed this story so much. I was pulled into the story straight away and I have to say I laughed out loud more than once at the banter between the characters. A very addictive story.
Insta love, hot and steamy rom com. Ky and Blake are hot and have great chemistry. They meet on a plane to Australia and their banter is very funny. You can’t help but love these characters and want them to have their happily ever after. A great addition to the Cocky Hero Club.
Master Manipulator is Ky and Blake’s story, and what a story it was!! I loved their banter and the one liners that flew between them. They meet on a long ass flight to Australia, of course Ky being the manipulator he is arranges their seating and the rest is history….or is it? Ky and Blake end up spending some time together once they arrive in Australia, mostly because of a bet….but there is something about Ky that Blake just can’t say no too, and in those few days feelings develop, and a huge secret that Blake is keeping is revealed and not in a way she would have wanted. I really loved this book and Ky….*sigh* I highly recommend reading this book, you will not be disappointed!!
Nicole Goodin’s entry into the CHC series was my first book from her and I am glad I gave it a try.
Blake and Ky first meet on an airplane when they are seated next to each other on a flight to Sydney. Lots of conversation and one bet later and they are spending time together once they arrive and falling for each other. There’s lots of humor and funny moments, but Blake is keeping secrets that could ruin everything.
I thought this was a solid read and one of the best in this round of CHC books.
Thank you to the author for providing an ARC for an honest review.
Ky and Blake meet in the airport. He finds her incredibly sexy and she finds him annoying. Her peaceful flight changes dramatically when she finds he is her seat mate. Can one lost bet change her life forever?
I love Nicole S Goodin so was very excited to find out she was writing in the Cocky Hero Club. Loved that she brought Chance and Aubrey, Kendell and Carter as well as Soraya all into her story. That added to the fun. Ky and Blake’s story is fun, sexy and heartbreaking. This was a fabulous addition to the CHC World.
Absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Ky and Blake. Their banter and chemistry are second to none.
A captivating lighthearted read. Superbly written book by Ms Goodin which certainly got me out of a reading funk! Highly, highly recommended !!
I loved Ky’s cheeky manipulative moves!!!
I have to say that I absolutely loved the Cocky obnoxiousness of Ky Bateman. This guy had an ego so seriously intact that I doubted anything would knock him of his perch. Until ‘she’ managed to do it in spades.
If you enjoyed the insta love feel of Chance Bateman and his wife Audrey in Cocky Bastard, then you will love ‘Mr Bastardo’s’ cousin Ky, who has inherited every bit of the Bateman family’s, well, ‘cockiness’ and went to extreme lengths to talk his way into the life of Blake Vincent in the most hilarious way possible.
He sees a gorgeous blonde in the airport as he readies for his flight home to Australia, and in one fate blessed moment he finds out her name and the flight she is on. Of course, as luck would have it, it’s the same as his, and from there on in, she has no chance, as he sweet talks them into the best seats with all the trimmings. He has 15 hours to lay siege to every wall she puts in his path!
Straight out of the gate, Author Nicole Goodin doubled down on her trademark Kiwi humour and witty sarcasm with the one for one pot-shots that volley back and forth between these two, and I laughed as I could imagine this patient kindergarten teacher really wanting to tear a strip off the gorgeous man who just wouldn’t shut the hell up. Hells teeth, I wanted to kill him for her, just so she had some peace!
The chemistry between them is huge, and even in the compressed timeframe, it was friends first before they became lovers. Add Chance and Aubrey into the mix, along with two cute kids and Pixy the goat making a cameo appearance, and I’ll say that this is Ms Goodin’s most entertaining and hottest book to date. It was 5 star awesome!
Ky and Blake kept me turning pages to see what would happen next. The witty banter had me laughing, the bet and their time spend together because of the bet always seemed to leave me wanting more. This rom-com was insta-love done right and I loved getting to see Chance, Aubrey and their family again.
A full-length novel featuring Chance and Aubrey from the original books, this one will have you hooked. Ky and Blake sucked me in from the beginning with their banter. The attraction is instant but what really hooked me was their back and forth and Blake’s determination to not give in. But he is a master and I loved reading their journey.
