Emma When my best friend Aubrey asked me to tag along to an event with her, I never could have imagined that it would be the day that my life changed forever.He’s arrogant and demanding and doesn’t take a hint. Landon Barker, the quarterback for the Hermosa Beach Trojans, is a player on and off of the field. He’s got his sights set on me as his next play, but I see right through him. Aubrey says … through him. Aubrey says I’m overreacting, that I should give him a chance. What she doesn’t realize is men like Landon don’t fall for the girl next door. That’s not reality. She got her fairytale, although it was a long road. Not all of us are that lucky.
Landon
She’s a friend of our new kicking coach’s wife. When I ask Chance for her number, he tells me I have to find a way to get it myself.
Nothing when it comes to Emma has been easy. She’s the first woman ever to turn me down, and that won’t do. However, as time passes, it’s about more than that. It’s about her smile, her laugh, and just spending time with her. She thinks I’m a player, and she’s right. What she doesn’t know is that I play to win, and her heart is the ultimate trophy.

Emma’s best friend is married to the newest coach for the Trojans. When she asks her to attend an event Emma figures why not. Landon is a player on and off the field. He never has to work to catch women’s attention so when Emma turns him down he is determined to win her over. Will he make a touch down or fumble?
This was a great addition to the Cocky Hero Club World. The banter between Emma and Landon will keep you entertained. This was my first Kaylee Ryan book but I will be checking out more of her work. Loved all the characters and the chance to see favorites from the original books.
Super hot football romance story that gives you butterflies right along with the characters. Excellently written read with a good twist toward the end. Definitely a must read!
I loved Landon and Emma!! He’s a cocky quarterback for the Trojans and she runs an animal shelter. Sparks fly but Emma isn’t impressed by him. Landon is used to women falling all over him, but Emma is different. He knows it the moment they meet. She takes no bull and is real. Their story is entertaining and there isn’t a lot of drama. A great book.
Lucky Bastard is part of the cocky hero universe. This is Landon and Emma’s book by Kaylee Ryan and it was amazing. Landon is a pro football player and meets Emma when she is attended a team even with her best friend. Emma is attracted to Landon but wants nothing to do with an cocky athlete. Landon sets his sights on Emma and refuses to give up. I loved the whole dynamic between Emma and Landon, I especially loved Landon! This was such a great story!
I liked watching Landon try and change his spots, or at least try and change the perceived notion of the way people saw him. He was so totally cocky, but he wasn’t afraid to be sweet too. I loved the banter between he and Emma. It was adorable. I haven’t read “Cocky” yet, but I really enjoyed this one. I’ll definitely have to read that one soon!
When Emma meets Landon (number 18) she shuts him down straight away and Landon can’t believe that. Emma is a down to earth sweet women who loved animals and for one she can’t have her heart broken and she can’t take the chance. Hence why she’s turning him down.
Landon is the famous hot sexy sports player and could have his pick of women. So meeting Emma at the family outing he can’t keep his eyes off her, but she wants none of that. But getting her attention isn’t as easy as he thought it would be. Emma is really going to make him work for her attention and he is looking forward to every minute of it.
This was a good story. I think i’m getting the hang of the whole sports romance books. And I have to say I loved the little twists in there too. I loved that even though Emma didn’t want to get involved with Landon she couldn’t deny she was had some attraction to him. Definitely a story that I really enjoyed
Kaylee Ryan is a new to me author and I just adored the story of Emma and Landon. It was a well written book that took me through the gamete of emotions. I liked how Landon didn’t give up easily and Emma wasn’t going to make anything easy for him. I enjoy reading a book with a strong female lead who doesn’t just bow at the hot males feet. I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book for an honest review.
Kaylee does it again. I love her books and her writing. This one shows of her writing wonderfully. Landon Barker is cocky. But a good guy. He doesn’t go after every woman he meets but when he meets Emma something about her has him intrigued. He wants to know more about her. But it wont be so easy. He is really going to have to put some effort into this one. Emma doesn’t want to be that girl, a cleat chaser. She meets Landon and stays as far away from him as she can.
One day Landon shows up at the Animal shelter where Emma works. She ends up hurting herself and she needs his help. He helps her and ends up taking her home. That is the night that things between them start to change. But will Landon be able to prove to her that he is different and worth taking a chance on? I absolutely loved watching these two fall in love. Landon and Emma are one amazing couple. I loved the banter between these two and everything that Landon goes through to prove to Emma that he cares about her and wants only her. Kaylee did one amazing job writing this couple. I so wanted more from this two. A great addition to this series. Highly recommend reading this one.
Another swoon-worthy hero from Kaylee Ryan!
Landon, a well known playboy has met his match. The moment he saw Emma wearing a rival team’s jersey, he knew she’s something else. She wasn’t even sorry about it. But Emma’s not giving him the time of the day because of his reputation. Landon thought one night with her would be enough, but nobody told him, the more he spend his time with her, the more he would fall for her. His determination to win her over was applaudable, the lengths he would go to. When he’s committed, he fully committed to it, no question or doubt about it and he really doted on Emma.
I think this is one of my favorite books by Kaylee Ryan. The chemistry between Emma and Landon is so hot. Just all around swooning over Landon.
AMAZING!! I am a HUGE fan of Kaylee Ryan and I was over the moon when I found out she was going to be a part of the Cocky Hero Blub series! Landon and Emma were AMAZING! I fell head over heels for Landon in the very beginning! Sweet, funny, and sexy this book sucked me in from the very beginning and I did not put it down until I was finished! FIVE STARS!!
Great Story!
I really love this book! The feeling is just like Cocky Bastard. Oftentimes these multi-author spin-off world books don’t feel quite right, but Kaylee hit this one out of the park!
I love the way Landen has to work for Emma. She doesn’t just give in and they live happily ever after. Amazing choice to add to the collection and fantastic story by Kaylee Ryan!
I absolutely loved my first ever Kaylee Ryan read and this is also so far my favorite read from this world. Landon was the perfect LB to pair with Emma. The original CB characters were wonderfully integrated into the story and not just quick shout outs. Nice surprise twist towards the end that actually fit into the story and you have a story worth reading and me putting more Kaylee Ryan on my list to read.
What a sweet and beautiful read!! I haven’t read much of Kaylee Ryan, but after reading this, I am definitely a huge fan! This book has EVERYTHING — animosity that builds into a great friendship and then a beautiful and genuine love, all the banter, all the swoony moments, all the laughter — it was just so beautiful!
Landon is a cocky star quarterback, but he has such a big heart underneath his sinful smirk and witty one liners. As soon as he meets Emma, he knows she’s something special and not his usual type of woman. He loves that she initially says no to all his efforts, but it quickly becomes more than just a woman saying no to him — he sees how passionate, genuine, down to earth and utterly real she is and can’t help but fall for her. I loved how even he was cocky, he was vulnerable and real with her, every step of the way. They had a genuine friendship as well as a relationship, and it was just so beautiful to witness.
Emma is an independent, strong, outspoken badass that I just adored. I loved how she took her time making sure that Landon wanted her and not just the chase or allure of something different, and the bond that these two shared was just magnificent!
I can’t praise this book enough — just make sure you one click as soon as possible!!
**I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions!**
By far this is has to be my favorite book in the Cocky Hero Club Collection Series . This is brilliant, to say I loved it would be a understatement I literally binge read this book and loved everything about this book. The plot and characters caught my attention from the get go and kept me captivated until the very end. From the moment Landon & Emma meet there was a spark . Emma is Audrey best friend and Landon is the QB . What I absolutely loved about this story was Emma didn’t fall for Landon’s good looks & charm she literally made him work had for winning her.
The plot and storyline was refreshing & captivating , the pace was engaging and the characters were relatable & quite realistic. I loved how seamlessly Chance & Audreys characters were incorporated in the story and the story had the same vibes as the original story. A perfect dose of everything witty, romance , perfect chemistry, heartwarming. Honestly for a split second I thought the duo wrote this book . This is my first time I am reading Kaylee and I am glad to have discovered a hidden gem. She is absolutely phenomenal author and is going on my one click buy author. One of my favorites from 2020s
I really liked the story and the characters, it was really engaging.
Oh my goodness I love me a feisty heroine and a cocky hero so to say I absolutely loved this book is an understatement. I loved Emma’s sassy, no nonsense attitude. I totally want to be her when I grow up! And Landon, oh sigh, the sexy footballer with the tenacity that wouldn’t quit was definitely drool worthy. I couldn’t get enough of these two and their sweet slow fall into happily ever after.
Landon has never been rejected until Emma and he is determined to make her see him as more then the egotistical ladies man cause with Emma for the first time ever he sees past one night, now the hard part is convincing her he means it. This story was so sweet that I fell in love with it
I Love, Love, Loved this!! Emma and Landon’s story holds infinite love in my heart! They were adorable and sweet and he was just sweet and swoony, girls!
Emma, sweet animal loving, caring Emma has seen the headlines. She knew what Landon Barker was all about, and she wasn’t falling for it. He could flash that sexy smirk all he wanted, nope it wasn’t gonna work…right?
Landon was gorgeous and talented on the field, he didn’t play to lose, and the game he wanted to win was Emma’s attention. He goes ABOVE AND BEYOND! This guy y’all! He wasn’t a jerk, he was west as pie!
I LOVED HIM!
Y’all this was funny and charming. Landon was persistent and confident and endearing. It was hilarious how he just punched his way into Emma’s life and her heart.
Emma did her best to resist this man, but the more she was around him the more she realized the tabloids may have been wrong about him after all.
When his hard work pays off and he finally get the girl will his public persona destroy it all?
*I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book! All opinions are my own!
My cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up for this book!
– This book is a super fast read because you just won’t want to put it down. Full of amazing characters, fun and hilariously witty banter.
