Two top lawyers trying to work together for the first time when they’re continuously are at each other’s throats can only turn out one way, an the charts steamy office romance. Decker knows what he wants and exactly what needs to happen in order to win, Tate is a strong confident woman that will not back down when she believes in a purpose. The chemistry between these two is hot and will have you hooked and cheering them on throughout. I was completely thrown for a loop when Decker reveals his deep and private story with Tate. Having the POV from both main characters continuously kept the storyline strong and flowing smoothly. Having these two authors collaborate together was great, I’ve read their work individually and together they bring even more to the book. Towards the end I didn’t know what was going to happen and I was on the edge gripping my kindle tight. This is a must read and highly recommended.
I think I need a cold shower because Cocky Playboy is one hot read!
Sloan Howell and Alex Wolf have done a great job collaborating on this steamy, sexy story. So, grab on and hold tight, you will not want to put this book down!
Decker and Tate have chemistry right from the beginning and whether they are in or out of the office, the pull they have is magnetic! I wasn’t a big fan of Decker until we started to get to know him better as his layers were pulled back and his secrets were revealed. He is possessive, controlling and cocky but he definitely has a softer side that he keeps hidden. He just needed the right woman he could trust. Tate is smart, sassy and doesn’t beat around the bush and she is perfect for Decker! They seem to know not only what the other wants, but what they need as well and together they are a good match and make a great team!
I have been a huge fan of Sloane Howell for forever. He always gives me an amazing story that keeps me laughing and swooning all at the same time. So when I heard he was teaming up with Alex Wolfe, whom I haven’t read but have heard great things about, I couldn’t wait to dive in.
And boy did they ever deliver! Their story is fun sexy and all kinds of steamy! I loved every second of it!
Tate and Decker are perfect! Their chemistry is off the charts and I couldn’t put their story down as I needed to know what they would do next!
What a great start to this new series. I am hooked and I can’t wait to see what these two bring us next!
There is nothing better than diving into a book and expecting one journey and getting taken down a completely different path!
Alex Wolf and Sloane Howell weaved a delicate story that could have been harsh And brash but it ended up a fast paced soul searing tale of love in the hottest of ways!
Once I opened the first page I couldn’t put this down the chemistry and sex literally dripped from the pages that left me craving more and more.
Decker is a man of two halves but there are very few people he lets in see both parts of him, Head of his family he’s carries so much guilt so the one thing he needs right now is to get his head down and on with his ticket to the perfect balance.
A shark of the Dallas courtroom Tate eats men for breakfast just before she walks the floor with them in business. Works is her only focus in life outside her family and one thing she hates is a man that thinks she anything less than capable. I loved Tate’s confidence and attitude but the more I got to know her the more admired her softer sides that I suspected was hiding under her hard exterior all along.
A definite favourite release of 2019 that is a must read in everyone’s library especially on a cold night it’s guaranteed to keep your temperature rising
Decker and Tate are a match in the office as the spark fly between these two from the way they meet to the way they talk to one another. You can see the tension in the work place change and we are watching with popcorn to see when that sexual tension switches over. The story was a pleasure to read. I love reading a book that playful, hot, fun and full of laughs and banter and this has all of those. Its hot & sexy but has some drama too. I have to say…. totally love the ending. I will not spoil it at all. But it a swoon worthy xx
Decker Collins always gets what he wants… in the office and the bedroom. And he currently has his sights set on a woman who is determined to best him at his own game, in the office, and come out on top in their merger. But he has a few tricks up his sleeve, and is determined to give her a fight… but she has no interest in playing his games. He knows he’s playing with fire, and mixing business and pleasure is a big no-no in his world… but he has never had a competitor quite like Miss Tate Reynolds!
Tate Reynolds learned a long time ago that if she wanted to make it in the law world she’d have to toughen up and develop a thick skin… which thankfully she has mastered. When her brother informs her that she has been chosen to head a new merger, she is tickled to have the opportunity take the driving seat, and prove her worth… that is until she learns who she will be going head to head against! Decker Collins is a chauvinistic jerk, and she can’t stand to be in the same room with him, not only because of his personality, but also because he could be dangerous for her heart!
Cocky Playboy is a top notch enemies-to-lovers romance loaded with humor, sexiness and heart-string tugging feels! As soon as the battle began between these two hard-headed love deprived opponents I knew things were about to get quite entertaining, and boy was I right, they did not disappoint! With each page I read I was dazzled by their determination, feisty fueled banter, caring natures, and of course their bone deep passion for one another… they were the perfect pairing! I loved every minute of this first time read, it’s words were addictive and rich with feeling, and the characters were easy to fall for, and hard to forget! Highly recommend!!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.
When two author’s who’s books you enjoy separately decide to write a series together, you get excited, but I had no idea it would be so dang good. Tate and Decker are both workaholics and know that mixing business and pleasure could be a recipe for disaster, but are they willing to give it a shot? You’ll have to read to find out, but I promise you won’t be disappointed. This book is well written, HOT, HOT, HOT and has wonderful characters. I can’t wait to see what Sloane and Alex have in store for us next.
This is the first book I have read by Alex Wolf and Sloan Howell and I really enjoyed it. It was refreshing to have a female character not be a retiring woman but rather someone who goes for what she wants. I liked that there was an emphasis on the importance of family, even if Decker’s brothers made him pull out his hair at times the bond was never broken. There was some very hot sex and some very humorous moments and I would highly recommend this book.
I really enjoyed Cocky Playboy!!! It centers around dirty talking Decker and sassy Tate. Their chemistry is so freaking off the charts hot AF. I absolutely loved watching the back and forth between these two well developed and strong characters. Add to that a great storyline and you’ve got a must read story by Alex Wolf and Sloane Howell, they make a great writing duo!
Alone, Sloane and Alex are each fantastic! Put them together and they are absolutely phenomenal! Decker is a reader’s dream with his dirty mouth and arrogant ways!! I loved that these two made Tate a strong willed woman, a match for Decker’s abrasive personality! Cocky Playboy is definitely one hot read you do not want to skip!
This is a great enemies to lovers office romance with smoking hot chemistry! Decker and Tate go head to head as his company merges with the one she works at. Loved the characters – Decker comes across as all cocky alpha, but has a super sweet side underneath, whilst Tate is a really ballsy female, I loved the girl power! This has a great storyline too; well written with funny dialogue as well as plenty of steam which will keep you turning those pages. I enjoyed the banter with the brothers and look forwards to reading about them next – this was my first Alex Wolf book, but it certainly won’t be my last!
Got sucked in from page 1 and couldn’t stop reading till the very end. This is a great office romance with wonderful and believable characters. It was funny, sweet, sexy as hell and totally swoon worthy.
I read these in the wrong order so I had already been introduced to Decker and Tate in Possessive Playboy.
But man did I love their story.
Didn’t think I would enjoy it so much. But I was hooked from the first page.
These boys know how to write.
Love the fact that Tate loves to dominate in life… but wants Decker to totally take charge when they’re alone.
Loved the banter, the innuendoes, the competition between these two.
This was a very hot read
This book starts the series perfectly.
This series started a bit backwards for me as this is the last book to read (started with book 2 and 3) and I’ve got to say I’m still loving every word.
Tate and Decker have serious chemistry together. I loved her take-no-shit attitude and the way she knew her worth. Decker is a hardball and you warm up to him slowly. I loved how much he cares for his daughter and how much he was willing to risk everything to keep Tate in his life.
Even though this is my last (read) book in the series I’m still a HUGE fan. Can’t wait for Donavan to meet his match.

This hot and sexy enemies-to-lovers/office romance had so much heart! Tate is in Chicago to help her company merge with Decker’s. Their first encounter did not go well and when they met again in the boardroom the sparks were definitely flying! Tate is the queen of snarky comebacks and she will win at all costs. Decker is a deliciously dirty talking, cocky attorney who loves a challenge. Their banter is their foreplay and boy is their chemistry explosive. But there is more to Decker than what he shows the world. When he lets’s Tate in, she can’t help but soften toward him. But this could also cost her her job and the only man she let get past her defenses as well. I liked this collaboration with Sloane Howell and Alex Wolf. They created a smart and sexy romance with fun banter, and strong, passionate characters and I look forward to reading more from them.
This is the first book that I have read from this writing duo and I loved it. A great office enemies to lovers’ romance. Decker and Tate had a chemistry that was off the charts. I loved them together. Once I started this story, I sat and read it in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down. Time to move on to book 2 and I can’t wait.
Cocky Playboy is the first book in the Cocky Suits Chicago series and it’s a great one!
Two law firms are merging together thanks to college friends, Weston and Decker. Weston’s law firm is in Texas and Decker’s is in Chicago. It’s going to be great for both sides once the deal is done, but there is a lot to get through before that will be a reality.
When Weston heads to the Windy City to sign the papers for the merger agreement, he brings along Tate Reynolds, one of the best lawyers he has, to stay in town to oversee the merger. She’s a shark in the courtroom and Weston knows that she’s the one to get the job done. For Tate, things in Chicago don’t get off to the best start when she’s on the way to a meeting with her boss and she gets run into by a cocky guy that knocks all of her hard work out of her hands AND steals her taxi. She’s late and doesn’t get off on the right foot with her boss.
Decker Collins owns the law firm with his three brothers, and while they all work there, Decker is the one that calls the shots. He’s a workaholic, but he wants to change that so he can have more of a regular life. He’s not into relationships and tends to find women he can have short flings with. He’s beyond ready for this merger to happen, however he’s going to have to deal with his brothers thoughts on the matter.
When Decker and Tate come face to face, the sparks fly immediately even though they don’t really get off to the best start. They both know they shouldn’t act on what they are feeling, but the question becomes are they going to be able to stop it? And, will secrets that Decker is keeping derail things before they really get started?
I really enjoyed these characters and especially Tate. She was a strong, formidable female character that wasn’t going to take anything from anyone! She was able to handle Decker, which doesn’t happen very often and yet she was also able to bring out the soft side of him as well. I am really excited to see what lies ahead in the next book in this series!
I love this book and I plan to read the next ones that come out so I highly recommend this book
Wow! This book was HOT!!! Sloane Howell and Alex Wolf are an incredible team! This is a steamy office romance that is knock your socks off sexy!

I loved every second of it and I can’t wait to read more from these 2 authors!
Sloane Howell and Alex Wolf blew me away with this one!! I’ve never read anything from Alex Wolf before, but I plan on changing that!
