This is how my story was supposed to go… too.
And we were in the most dangerous of places.
Vegas.
Sipping on crazy drinks.
And coming up with insane plans.
Losing my V-card to Brenden after a drunken night was acceptable.
But waking up married to him?
What in the world was I thinking?
Was I even thinking?
I thought this was my biggest nightmare.
But the worst part of my story?
That was yet to come.

Loving a Hearthstone Brother
Brenden Hearthstone and Kelly Crown have been each other’s secret admirer since college days and now that his brother Zane and her best friend Karina have found love and are anticipating the arrival of a baby, the well-kept secret of each other’s interest is just as strong and unpublicized as it always has been.
But, times are changing. Kelly wants love—she wants someone who wants her, and she is tired of constantly being on the dating merry-go-round and never finding “the one.” The problem is that she has a secret that always interferes with her ability to move forward with a relationship—she is still a virgin and either her fear or her announcement of her “condition” serves to block any forward progress. And so, when her sister Roxy and friend Karina learn of Kelly’s unresolved “condition” they suggest staging an intervention—a hookup with the purpose of eliminating the “condition” with no expectations and nothing else expected. And, the recent return of Zane and Brenden’s older brother, Clint, a newly retired Navy Seal, seems to be the answer to the problem—hot older man to “fix” Kelly’s condition.
However, when Brenden catches wind of the girls’ plan, he decides to run interference with his own brother. If anyone is going to “fix” Kelly’s condition, well, despite the fact that he loves his brother, no one is going to sweep in and romance and “fix” Kelly’s condition unless Brenden is the fixer.
The continuation of the story of the Hearthstone brothers and the women who win their hearts is a delight. JP Comeau’s sweet story of redemptive, healing and maturing love is well-paced with moments of life’s challenges and even risks balanced with the growing trust and love of the two central characters, offering both tension and satisfaction for the reader. Comeau’s romances always bring a satisfactory and happy resolution of love as billionaire bachelors learn to become loving and loved husbands and fathers.

An absolutely fast pace engaging page turner! The story line is well-developed, emotionally deep, and well written with twists and turns, suspense, witty banter, humour, and more. The characters are likeable; the chemistry between them is off the charts. A lot happened in this book and it is definitely worth the read.

One Decision To Change Their Lives –
Brenden and Kelly’s story is really quite entertaining. This is a feel good story about two people who make decisions, that have great repercussions, instead of acknowledging their feelings. The drama, witty banter, fun filled encounters and sensual moments, will help you fall in love with all the characters. I suggest you book a few me time hours, to really enjoy this awesome book. I am really looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Brendon and Kelly have secretly had the hots for each other since college but never acted on it her because he comes of as a big player who goes threw more women then changes of underwear. So she decided to just keep things at a friend level until she confess her virgin state to her friends they think Brendon older brother Clint is the perfect choice but Brendon doesn’t think so hes waited long enough for Kelly now is his chance.
Brendon tried endlessly to get Kelly to take him seriously and go out with him but she saw all the girls lining up and decided he was a bad decision for a date forget boyfriend so he decided if she thought he was a big man child with a rampant case of lust then why not play it up well it back fired and now his friend is about to give herself to his brother its never going to happen. This was hilarious and a fun read cant wait for Clints story.

Brenden and Kelly have known each other since college and both have had an attraction to one another but never acted on it. Kelly watched Brenden be the playboy throughout college and just kept her feelings towards him to herself. Brenden after being turned down a few times by Kelly continued to hop from girl to girl. They both remained friends even after college hanging out with their group of friends and going out partying together. When Kelly lets it slip to her sister and friend Karina that she is still a virgin they take it amongst themselves to remedy the problem so they decide to set her up with Brenden’s brother Clint and that will be who she will lose her virginity to. Brenden catches wind of this plan and has a plan of his own which as usual with him things don’t always go as planned. He decides to plan a fake wedding in Vegas and the honeymoon will be where he and Kelly spend the night together and he will be her first.
This is a funny story with wonderful characters with plenty of steam. I suggest reading the book before this Mr. Big Shot, as a lot of the characters from that book are in this book as well.

Kelly and Brenden have been friends since college when she repeatedly turned him down for dates. Now, they are friends and she has a predicament that he wants to help her with.
Love sometimes isn’t realized until you’ve lost it. When Brenden and Kelly realize they love each other nothing seems to go right and they are always on different pages. Can they get on the same page and realize what they feel is love?

This is book two of the Kinda of cocky series and this book took me through the gamut of emotions, laughing out loud , screaming, swearing like a sailor, but i had so much fun reading Brenden and Kelly s story. Le;;y had mentioned in the first book that she still had her V card and wanted to lose it, so her girlfriends came up with the plan that she should lose it to Clint, Brenden s older brother. However, Brenden had another plan in mind and he comes up with something crazy! Fun, sweet with an happy ever after! A feel good story.

Mr. Big Mistake is fun romantic comedy that is full of trial and errors, hidden heart, pushy friends and unrelenting family.
Brenden and Kelly’s journey goes a way back to their days in college where their friendship began and love was just a seed. It took an error at the chapel and a judges punishment to both of them to face the truth. Brenden is more than he lets on, to everyone he is all about a good time, but to Kelly he is more than that. Kelly is trying to be strong and independent, unfortunately she also wants to please everyone, which almost has her making a big mistake. I love watching these character grow into who they are but in their relationship. They are good friends but even that does not stop them from hurting each other but in turn then where the only ones who supported each other.
Kelly’s friend and sister I had a hard time swallowing as how they would push her into things she was not ready for or not really supportive. Brenden’s family is refused to see that he had changed and kept putting him in to the same carefree, playboy category that would not take anything serious.
I love this book and did not want to put it down. For all the error and mistakes Brenden made do things, he did them with caring and love in his heart.

Second chance to make it right! This story is about Kelly and Brenden. They have been friends since forever, and while in college Brenden had always asked Kelly out; however, she would always refuse because he was a well-known player. Now years have passed by and she few relationships have all ended because she doesn’t want to be intimate with any of them, so Roxy and Karina decide she needs to give up that V card and she will then be able to date without worry of being intimate. They select Clint, who is brothers with Zane, Karina’s fiancée, and Brenden. Clint happily agrees. Brenden realizes this and decides to get Clint so drunk he would not be able to go through it. Brenden then talks to Kelly and proposes a deal that will be better for them both.
Although she agrees to this, his plan is so messed up and what can go wrongs does to which they accidently end up married. I won’t give the story away as now the plan is to get this marriage annulled and she still hasn’t given up the V card. There is so much going on with these two and it a judge, an ex, and crazy brother to make them see straight. Now I’m wondering what is happening with Clinit and Roxy?

Brilliant. Funny. Swoony. So, so good! I couldn’t put this book down! It’s everything I love in a romance. This book is written brilliantly. You’ve totally outdone yourself Ms Comeau!!! This is my favorite book and I loved every single page of it! This book deserves more than 5 stars! Can’t wait to read the next book that comes out by this amazing author!! Happy reading everyone!!
nice story, well-described characters who have been feeling for each other for a long time, but sometimes there are the right reasons why they are not yet together. from me 4 stars. it is advisable to also read the first part, because the characters come back from it.

So losing your virginity to the man you love isn’t exactly a terrible thing. Losing it under the guise of a fake marriage… Yeah… It kinda is.
I liked this book but I also didn’t. Kelly was a hard character to like. She was super callous most of the story, always blaming Brendan for their marriage actually being real instead of fake. The error wasn’t his; it was the secretary’s, who, by the way, decided to quit just a few days before their planned nuptials and didn’t leave specific instructions for the person performing the ceremony. Despite Brendan’s attempts to make her happy, he always seemed to end up doing something wrong or making her upset because he pushed back instead of just giving in.
Brendan wasn’t completely blameless. He’s loved Kelly as long as she’s loved him. He hides behind jokes and laughs. A frat boy who never grew up. It was a crap move what he did to ensure he would be Kelly’s first. I gave him props for continuously trying to be the best husband he could be for her. I gave him props for standing up for himself, for her, at the appropriate times. But he needed support that he wasn’t getting in order to really be the husband she needed, the man he could be proud to see in the mirror everyday he woke up.
I liked this book but I also didn’t. For two people who were so grown up and sure about business and careers and things of that nature, I wish they would’ve displayed some of that maturity in their relationship and dealings with each other. Radio silence without getting the whole story was just heart breaking at the end. To be honest, I wanted Brendan to walk away and never look back at her. He deserved a chance to explain himself. Instead, he took to pleading, begging, that fell on deaf ears of a woman who decided to right off what she saw as typical Brendan behavior: once a player, always a player. Kelly should’ve remembered the man she had gotten to know through the course of their marriage. She should’ve remembered the trust he placed in her when he laid his heart and mind bare. Instead, she walked away.
Good writing, good characters, but neither were enough for me to enjoy this story like I’d hoped I would.

Loved it! This book made me laugh, cry and get made. A nice up and down of emotions. It’s well written and the characters are pretty relatable, and the story was interesting. This book read as a standalone. I haven’t read book one but didn’t feel that I was missing out. This is book two in the Kinda Cocky series. It’ll definitely be getting book one.
Brenden and Kelly have known each other a long time. In college Brenden tried to date Kelly but every time he asked, she’d turn him down. He was a player and she didn’t want to get hurt. They remain friends but they just can’t see what everyone else does, that they love each other. One-night Kelly’s out with her best friend and her sister and they come up with the plan for Kelly to lose her virginity to Brenden’s older brother Clint. This upset and makes Brenden jealous. He puts together a crazy scheme to help out Kelly and get her to relax but it backfires, and they accidentally end up married. The judge makes them live together and stay married for four weeks before he’ll give them an annulment. What happens when these two best friends start to realize that maybe they could make a go of it and stay married?
