Cockloft: A firefighter term used as a structural space above ceiling and below rafters, often connecting adjacent occupancies and permitting fire to spread laterally, often unseen.Gabriel Martinez is the most arrogant and infuriating man I’ve ever met. He has a knee-weakening smirk that makes me want to kiss—no—slap it off his rude, sexy face. Judging by his ego, you’d think the hose in his … in his pants is as big as the one on his fire truck. Not that I know anything about that nor do I want to. Nope, not at all. He’s already been forgotten like last season’s Michael Kors.
CeCe Kensington is as pretentious and spoiled as they come. The ridiculous purses she shoulders around are as big as her attitude. And don’t get me started on her mile-long legs or full, glossy lips that are meant to be wrapped around a guy’s… If she only knew the dirty things I think about doing to that sassy mouth of hers, she’d be hightailing it back to her side of town.

This book was oh so good! Gabe oh wow what a wonderful fireman! He set my heart on fire from the start and oh my I loved how our author mixed in his heritage via speech (and translated it for us as well). Then we have our little Princess CeCe and her puppy. I totally get these two together and how opposites do are attracted to each other. This is the first book in this series I have read so now I want to go and read the others that are mentioned the Navy seal, FBI, and others.
Firefighter Gabriel Martinez gets called to a fire only to find a woman going through her closet looking at purses while the building is on fire. CeCe Kensington has a reason for finding one purse in particular, but Gabe makes a snap judgement that CeCe is a spoiled princess and even though he is attracted to her knows she is too uppity for him. You can’t always judge a person by first impression. Gabe ends up finding CeCe is so different then what he thought and they begin to date, the only problem is that Gabe has a chip on his shoulder about his father who left him, what happens when he is faced with the same issues while with CeCe.
I liked the beginning and the build up of this story. The climax was a bit harsh but then it worked out to the HEA I was expecting. Good chemistry and the meeting between Gabe and CeCe is hilarious. I thought this was a fun read.
Opposites attract in a good way.
I love all her books!!! I really recommend this author!
Great firefighter story.
Loved this book! Stayed up waaay past my bedtime because I couldn’t stop reading. Loved the characters and romance. A perfect book to cozy up with.
Loved this book! Misperceptions are ironed out as these two find their way to each other.
Great book. A must Read
Loved this book. Couldn’t put it down
loved it . would read more stories when available
This book was such an entertaining and fun, enemies to lovers romance. There were so many moments in this book that stood out to me. I loved Gabe and CeCe’s first meeting, it was definitely an unusual way to meet someone and it’s something I won’t soon forget. I loved how their first impressions of each other changed over the course of the book as they got to know each other on a deeper level. I loved the Scavenger Hunt and how it blew up into this night of passion that almost ignited my kindle on fire. I loved when CeCe first went to meet Gabe’s family and the epic pranks that his brother’s played on her and in return the revenge she got on them (as I write this I’m still laughing over that scene). All this to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it. Don’t miss out on this hilarious enemies to lovers romance.
I read this a few years ago, but here is my review:
I loved this book. I have yet to read a K.C. Lynn book that I didn’t enjoy from beginning to end. I loved the banter between CeCe and Gabe. The way they met just set the tone. There was never a dull moment nor a moment that I wanted to put the book down. This book has humor, love, family, and a hotness factor that will leave you fanning. I loved seeing characters from K.C.’s other books in this story as well. This book is well written and will leave you smiling. Dual point of view. No cliffhanger.
OK wow!!! Talk about a hot hot hot instant love story!! This is the book!!!
CeCe and Gabe meet when her fire alarm goes off in her building and she’s the last tenant to be found to be brought outside. Gabe finds her on all fours in the closet digging for a bag while holding her dog Pepper. CeCe is forever known among the guys Gabe works with as “Purse Girl”.
Gabe and CeCe come from very different backgrounds.
But is it too different for them to make it work?
I love the story of them, and the writing style of K.C.!! I was hooked and couldn’t put the book down! It was so great! I loved the banter between the two of them, the emotions that each brought to the story. A little bit of Spanish flare from Gabe, and how much CeCe loved it and thought it was hot! I loved Gabe’s family so much!! His mom was a sweetheart. Along with CeCe’s mom. Nothing how I thought she’d be!
This book was so hot hot hot!! Gabe is my new book boyfriend!!
I can’t wait to read more of K.C.!!!!
Some of my fave quotes:
1. “Trust me Bella. I haven’t forgotten a single thing from that night.” – OHHH GABE!!!
2. I want to fuck her like I hate her. – OHHHHH GABE AGAIN!
3. “Oh, baby. Fucking hermosa eso es lo que eres.” – OHHHHH GABE!
4. But instead I find Mr. Expert Pussy Licker starting down at me in smug amusement. – ROFL!!!!!
5. “He brought out the inner slut in me that I never even knew I had.” – CeCe cracks me up!
6. “First of all, Taco Bell, is not fucking Mexican.” – TRUTH!!!!
7 “You got authentic the other night and loved it so I’m sure you will again.” – Gabe makes me laugh with his one liners.
8. He’s no longer the arrogant fireman who made me want to punch him in the dick. – ROFL!
9. “Oh, Gabe, you didn’t. Please tell me you didn’t kill him and then buy us breakfast.” – I can totally see Gabe doing that protecting the one he loves!
10. “Best of all, you’re mine.” – OHHHH GABE!
When fightfighter Gabe Martinez gets called to a fire he doesn’t expect to find a sexy, sassy & half naked women, CeCe Kensington, refusing to leave without a purse, oh and her dog. These two can’t stand each other at first but with such hot chemistry between them will they be able to keep their hands to themselves for long? The banter back and forth kept me turning the page. This was a laugh out loud sexy rom com! This is also my first book by K.C. Lynn Book and I look forward to reading more by her. Told in dual POV.
Loved this book, the characters are fabulous highly recommend you read it
When you see the Arc for a KC Lynn book you stop reading or doing whatever it is you are doing and you need to stop and read I swear every time I pick up one of her books I just get this feeling that excites me. Then you finish and you’re like really it’s over noooooo its too soon, I could read KC’s words all the time.
Cockloft is no exception I absolutely loved this book, I was expecting sassy, laughing, and hot firemen but really I got so much more. There were times when I was so in love with CeCe and her sassiness and I loved the banter between Gabe and her, I wasn’t expecting to get the feels for this book, it wasn’t just a rom com it was a book about loss and not fitting in and that made me love the book even more.
As we had met CeCe previously she was such a funny character and I loved her attitude, her drive and the love she has for her family, it was so good to see her vulnerable side and to see her succeed. She had lost a lot in her life and it was so good to see her achieve and grow. I also love her banter with her best friends husband made me laugh everytime loved it.
Gabe well, he just sounded hot and all the Spanish talking got me hot under the collar, he was a really good guy with a lot of hurt in his past and he was never expecting to find a girl like CeCe to the point of hating her and liking her at the same time. The fact that he was a firefighter was admirable and he was such a caring character. He really looked out for the people he loved and was very passionate
I loved hearing from some of the older characters we have already read about, this book was hot, sweet, sexy and another fantastic written book by KC Lynn. I love her stories and her writing and would recommend Cockloft to everyone.
5+++++++++++ stars for this baby loved everything about this book
Not too long ago, I have discovered the books of this author and just loved & enjoyed every book I’ve read from her; this one is no different! The way the author writes, it just gets to you every single time! I cannot wait to read more.
When CeCe and Gabe meet, they want to drink each others blood but slowly down the line, they get to know each other better. When Gabe met CeCe, he thought she was a stuck-up woman ‘cuz she loves designer clothes but he soon realises she is so much more than that. Sometimes, first impressions are not what they are and both will discover what lies beneath…
I loved it, who doesn’t love a fireman. A friend once said to me they’re hot even if they’re not hot.
I love hate/love and opposites attract story they are a fave of mine especially when there’s angry hate sex. Cece and Gabriel are a great couple they seem to complement each other very well, his dirty mouth and her sassiness.
The interaction between Cece and Gabe were hilarious, I laughed a lot reading this. I have to say Cece has the best lines, like so dirty and funny all at the same time you just don’t know what’s going to fall out of her mouth. I mentally high fived her so many times.
Amazingly funny rom-com that keeps you wanting more!! KC Lynn never disappoints!!
