So long to a great series and yup out ended with a bang. This time we get not one couples story but with the series coming to an end we get the conclusion of the ongoing battle between the MC’s and the family now under the control of Manual. Yes plenty of action and loving going on, we get the whole gambit, betrayal, sibling rivalry, commitment, freedom, resolution, jealousy and yeah more goes on. But trust me it’s done well. You wont feel overwhelmed with the info just happy with the results.
I have read most of the series and was able to figure out what I missed. The author does a great job of pairing women that although she has issues, she is a strong woman who just loves her a man on a bike that has a few issues of his own. Cocky? They are. . . every one of them.
I couldn’t wait to see how this series was going to end and I was not disappointed. It ended with everyone of the Spartan brothers getting the HEA they were meant to have.
This story is more about Moose and Mouse, which is two people who could not be more different but they work for each other. When Moose realizes that he wants more with Mouse, she wants to be independent and not be someones property. Can Moose change her mind?
This story covers everyone, including “Quick” & Gabby, “Country & Talia, “Repo” & Red, and “Taco” & Bambi. And it makes for a perfect ending to this great series.
If you are looking for an MC series that has all the sexy alpha males and the women they need, then this series is for you. So kick back and enjoy, I hope you love this series as much as I have.

Even though this is the ending to the Spartan Riders MC, I can say that it was an amazing ride!!
Kade “Moose” Hunter is about as cocky as any of the guys can get. He is the Spartan’s enforcer and mechanic, who knows what he wants most of the time. However, this changes when he sees Angel “Mouse” Grace. Now he is not sure and his feelings grow into something he wasn’t expecting.
Angel “Mouse” Grace is just like her name says and is very quite most of the time. She also very independent and doesn’t want to become consumed with someone that she loses herself. However, she soon realizes that somethings she has no control over. Will she be able to keep what she believes and have a relationship with Moose?
With this being the final book we were able to see all of the other guys and what has become of their lives as well. Just like J.C. usually does all of these characters had their own voices through out the story which aloud for a deeper story line. With all of these voices there were definitely some twists that I did not see coming but in the end loved.
Sad to see the end but also can’t wait to read more of J.C.’s book and to see what she comes up with next.
An awesome conclusion to this series. Love this cover! Kade “Moose” Hunter definitely lives up to the term “cocky”. He also bossy but can be easy going and sweet. Angel “Mouse” Grace isn’t like the other women he’s been around. She’s quieter, kind and okay with a casual relationship with him because she’s a little gun shy about commitment. Moose finds himself wanting more and has to find a way to convenience her otherwise. But before things can be ironed out Angel’s sister blows back to town creating havoc and she knows it’s going to be a tangled mess. Love the chemistry between the characters. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book.
Kade “Moose” Hunter has something good going on in his life. Angel “Mouse” Grace has not had a happy past. But there’s someone that makes her very happy. Besides these new main characters, we get to catch up on some of the other Spartan Riders but it all seems a little bittersweet. We also catch up with their significant others – one in particular had me going “oh that’s right”. At some point, I may just have to have a Spartan Riders marathon.
Our author has created a female character that loves the pleasure that only one man can give her. Angel has apprehensions when it comes to taking any steps that may lead to a relationship. But the fun part of said relationship is not something she has an issue with. Kade is a man who knows what he wants and our author shows how men and women think differently when it comes to building the connection between them.
I will say that as I was reading, the author gave me a feeling that even with things brewing that the story was setting me up for something else. Part of that may be because of the suspense she creates as she brings things to a head. And I learned never to assume where the author is trying to take her readers because you will only end up getting a surprise that you don’t see coming. But did I get an ending? It didn’t feel like one so I’ll just have to wait and see what this author has coming next in her writing arsenal.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
It’s over! The Spartan Riders’ final ride is here. The end to this terrific MC series leaves us with a satisfying final story but also sad to see the brothers and their families go. It wraps up all the intense storylines from the previous books and gives us a new couple to swoon over and some surprises too. Our new couple is the venerable Kade aka Moose and his unlikely love, Angel aka Mouse. Even the nicknames let you know that this will be an unusual romance. He’s a big, bad biker with a good heart and a bossy attitude. She’s a quite gal and appears timid but she’s got another side that Moose brings out. These two are so sweet and sexy together. But will they last? Her sister blows into town with trouble following that had ties to the MC and the brothers swing into action to protect their own. The writing is spectacular in this exciting, thrilling story that’s full of danger, drama, twists, suspense and a fantastic ending to the series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC. 4.5 stars
Fantastic conclusion for the Spartan Riders MC crew. This is an amazing, unique family of men and women. Finally, Moose embraces wanting a woman when Angel, aka Mouse, ends up in his path. Angel is a great match for him, she’s had a rough life and knows how to take care of herself so she doesn’t let Moose intimidate her. It was fun to see Moose come up against a woman that wasn’t a push over. At the same time, we get to spend time with all the men and see how their lives are moving forward while dealing with new threats to their town and club. I enjoyed this series and being a part of the Spartan Riders world as they maneuvered lives challenges on their way to love. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
I’m new to J. C. Valentine and her books.
When I saw that I start this series with the LAST book in series: I thought : Oh My… that would be noo good.
Second though… : Oh my this book is write as third person, how can I manage I, I just like to read “I”…
Yes, that’s big shame on me… Forgive me because I’ve sinned.
Moose and Mouse give me great fun, even if this book is writen different. I “spend” with them a couple of hours and didn’t even know how fast time goes. Cocky was so good!
As I mentioned on the begining – that is last book in the series but J.C. Valentine describe very good rest characters from previous books, that was also the reason why I enjoyed this story.
Angel Mouse is sweet, beautifull and she care a lot about Kade – I fell in love with her for the first sight. Kade Moose finally meet woman, who is good and who can manage him. Their passion is overwhelnig, many moments between them can make You blush.
Of course… it’s MC Club book, so there must be drama involved.
And now I will stop and won’t say anything more – if You curious about their story You need to find out by Yourself and read this book.
I just need to fill my library with others Spartan Riders books 😉
Cocky is the fifth and final book in the Spartan Riders MC Series, although it can be read as a standalone I would suggest at least reading a couple of the books in the series first. I feel this way for a few reasons the main one being there is an underlying thread that is present through each of the books and is wrapped up with this one and believe me to get the full impact of the ending you will want to have prior knowledge of Manuel Contreras and what he is fully capable of doing.
This was a really good ending to the series, things are tied up nicely and everyone gets their HEA we even a couple of surprise HFN/HEAs in this book! I have to admit one of them I was COMPLETELY SURPRISED about!!! But the main focus of this story is Moose and Mouse getting their HEA. I have to say after what Moose has recently been through with his nephew I am thrilled that he finally gets a little HAPPY in his life.
Kade “Moose” Hunter and Angel “Mouse” Grace have amazing chemistry together and its not surprise that they are knocking boots every chance they get. I love the independent side of Mouse, she may be shy and quite but she definitely isn’t helpless! Moose is one of the Spartan brothers that I was most curious about especially after getting to know a little more about him in Brash I will admit my heart broke for him in that book. I was thrilled when I saw that this was his book, for me he needed to get his own HEA with a good woman and may be even start a family of his own like his brothers.
I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys biker books/ MC Romances but as I suggested earlier in my review read a few books in the series if not all of them don’t start with this one because it is the last in the series and then you will know how everything plays out. Happy Reading!!!
**I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Readers Copy of this book**
This was my first J.C. Valentine book, and BAM!!!! I’m instantly in love with her phenomenal writing talent!!!!! Kade and Angel were amazing characters!!!! J.C.’s witty, sexy page turning book was simply AWESOME!!!!! I will DEFINITELY be reading more from her!!!!!
This was the perfect ending for this series, we get to catch up with all of the members of the Spartan Riders MC. The endings and new beginnings were amazing. There is still danger lurking but like they always have they hit it head on with the women they love right there with them. I was sad to see this series end but it was done so well. I hope we see these characters pop up in a different series one day because they will be truly missed.
Basic MC alpha male instant claiming the girl. Turf wars. Authorities involved. A few twists and turns. Back to the motorcycles and men beating their chests. Steam 10/10 Sweet 8/10 HEA
3.5 stars–COCKY is the fifth and final instalment in JC Valentine’s contemporary, adult SPARTAN RIDERS MC erotic, MC romance series focusing on the men and women of the Spartan Riders MC. This is Kade “Moose” Hunter, and Angel “Mouse” Grace’s story line but also focuses on several other relationships including Angel’s sister Rena, and her affair with crime lord Manuel Contreras.
Told from several third person perspectives including Kade and Angel, COCKY is an ensemble story line that follows the set up and take down of the Cruiz Cartel, currently headed by crime lord Manuel Contreras. While Club enforcer Kade Hunter battles his affections for Angel Grace, her sister Rena struggles with her past, a struggle that now involves the man with whom she is falling in love. As the Spartan Riders affect a deal with the Cruiz Cartel, the FBI sit in wait to take down the man ultimately in charge.
Kade ‘Moose’ Hunter never thought he would fall in love or settle for one woman but meeting Angel Grace, a night club waitress, found our hero making plans for the future including the possibility of claiming ownership of the woman he calls ‘Mouse. Angel Grace is a strong willed, independent heroine who knows a thing or two about struggling to survive. She is no-one’s property including the man with whom she is falling in love. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
COCKY follows several intersecting paths that reveal the connections, relationships and blood lines between the Spartan Riders MC, the FBI and the Cruiz Cartel. Most of the previous story line couples and characters play secondary and supporting roles. The premise is revealing ; the romance is passionate and intense; the characters are colorful and engaging. My only issue is with the quick resolution to the conflict(s) where most of the intimate details are never revealed, behind the scenes, and left to the reader’s imagination. The SPARTAN RIDERS MC series is a lighter look at a fictional MC, an MC whose membership believes in love and a happily ever after.
Love how this story just flows. You keeping turning the pages and once it is done you keep flicking the screen hoping that there is more. Character are well developed and plot just flows.
Kade “Moose” Hunter has finally found a woman he can see himself with. She’s different than the usual women that hang around the club. She’s quiet as mouse until he gets her worked up and he loves that he’s the only one that gets to see that side of her. Now he just needs to convince Angel to wear his patch.
Angel “Mouse” Grace is addicted to Kade’s sexy alpha tendencies and she plans to enjoy every moment she can get. She’s heard the rumors about MC guys and she knows that Kade could have any woman he wants. She doesn’t have any school girl fantasies of a happily ever after.
This final instalment of the Spartan Riders series is action packed with dynamic characters and an engaging storyline. Angel’s little sister, Rena, is always getting herself into to trouble and now it looks like she fallen into the clutches of crime lord, Manuel Contreras. Now Kade has to find a way to keep the peace before the threat of war risks everyone he loves.
Kade “Moose” Hunter is the enforcer for the Spartan’s, he’s cocky and knows it and doesn’t take crap from anyone, but the tiny little waitress, Angel Grace has caught his eye and he has nicknamed her Mouse and cant seem to get her off of his mind. Most would think Moose and Mouse are opposites and wouldn’t be compatible, but Moose brings out a sexiness that most don’t see in his little mouse.
As things are heating up in their war with the crime lord Manuel “Manny” Contreras, Angel’s little sister, Rena, comes to town. Guess who she hooks up with? Yep, Manny! The Spartan’s realize that they need to protect Rena since she is family through Angel and that is where the fun begins.
While the Spartan’s are trying to protect their town from Manny, Manny is actually falling for Rena. Imagine when Rena drops a huge bombshell on everyone why she is there!
All in all, it was a nice ending to this series. We got a little peek into each of our favorite characters and everyone ends up with a happy ending.
Cocky is the final book in the Spartan Riders MC series. This story has Moose finally finding a woman who is fun, sexy, and strong enough to challenge him. Angel was not about to be owned by any man while he went out and played around. Their chemistry was always explosive, now they just needed to learn trust each other, and take the leap of faith that they were perfect for each other. The dispute with the rival cartel is still ongoing, and that added some suspense to this story. Tahlia and Tucker were still trying to find their way back to each other and we also get to catch up with the rest of the couples we have grown to love. This was a sweet, suspenseful, funny, and very sexy conclusion to the Spartan. Even tho I am sad that it’s over, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
For the first time in his life Kade “Moose” Hunter has met a woman who he thinks might just be worth keeping around, she’s beautiful, sweet, caring, and doesn’t have an ounce of drama in her… which is the best trait a woman could have according to Moose. He’s seen what drama can do to a relationship, and he wants absolutely no part of it, he’s a laid back and easy going kind of guy most of the time, unless of course you ruffle his feathers… then look out! Every time he isn’t with Angel his little “Mouse” he misses her, craves her attention, and that isn’t normal for him, but it’s definitely something he could get use to, all of his fellow club members have found their ol’ ladies, and he thinks it might be time for him to do the same. But first he has to find a way to convince Mouse to accept his patch, he senses she is a bit of a commitment phoebe… good thing he knows just what it will take to change her mind!
As soon as Angel Grace met Moose she knew he was a good man, one that she could easily get attached too, and those were always the worst kind to get tangled up with, cause it usually leads to a broken heart. But little by little he has worked his way into her life, her bed, and her heart, and as scary as it is to accept that he belongs there, the more she realizes there is no way she could live without him there. But he wants more, he wants her to where his patch, and that is a commitment she isn’t quite ready for… or is she?
But before she can really think about getting started on a future with him, her sister Rena blows back into town and turns her life upside down. It seems as though she has gotten herself tangled up in bit of a man mess of her own, and it has ties to the Spartan’s, which means there is drama about to be stirred up. And the last thing Angel wants to have happen is her sister’s mess to cause issues for Moose and his Spartans crew, or put a end to the best thing she has had come her way in a long time.
When you crack the cover on Cocky you will be reunited with some old friends, be introduced to a few new ones, and also get a up close and personal view of a man that has been lingering in the shadows for the last few installments of the series. The moment your eyes land on the page and you are graced with the presence of Kade “Moose” Hunter you will be mesmerized by every single inch of him, he, my friends, is a man worth knowing!! He can be alpha and stoic with the best of them, but every now and then he lets his sweet and caring side slip out, and that’s when you need to watch your heart; and then of course there is that side where he becomes domineering and smooth, and that’s when you know your about to become his prey… and all I can say is watch out for that one! This was such a great story, because it tied up loose ends for all our favorite couples in the club, and then gave us a glimpse into the future that Kade and Angel were about to get started on. I am sad to close the book on these characters, because they have given me so many great reading experiences, but I am also holding out hope Ms. Valentine, might bring them out again sometime, maybe tie them to a new MC series??? (Wouldn’t that be awesome!!) At any rate, if you haven’t had the chance to meet these wonderful characters I highly recommend you invite them into your world, they are certain to steal your heart, and treat you some truly unforgettable stories!
