Cocky (Spartan Riders Book 5) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 86 ratings

Kade "Moose" Hunter, cocky muscle of the Spartan Riders MC, lives for two things: his club and the next adrenaline rush. He's unapologetically alpha but careful with his heart, until his connection with Angel challenges everything and the cartel threatens to take it all away.

Angel "Mouse" Grace is Moose's perfect match—tough on the outside and soft inside—but she's wary of bad boys after past heartbreaks. Though drawn to Moose's intensity, Mouse guards her gentle heart, because if there’s one thing she’s learned, it’s that hearts always get broken in the end.

As their town becomes ground zero for a violent cartel turf war, Mouse's sister gets close with the enemy, forcing her to choose between her loyalty to family and her loyalty to Moose. With threats escalating, chaos threatens to tear Moose and Mouse apart.

Can the vulnerable Mouse find strength in Moose's commanding embrace? Will the war-hardened Moose risk his heart again?

Fans of Kristen Ashley and Joanna Wylde will be hooked by this pulse-pounding addition to the Spartan Riders saga.

From the Author

Thanks for reading the final installment of the Spartan Riders! I really wasn't sure how this was all going to end until I got there myself, but what I did know? Everyone was destined for an HEA because love always wins in the end. One of my favorite character match-ups is when the hero is larger than life and they fall for their absolute opposite, and drawing from J.R. Ward's BDB series, which I adore more than words can express, I developed Moose, who more than lives up to his name--and size! This couple's sweet dynamic paired with the pure craziness going on in their world was exciting to write about, and I hoped you enjoy every second of it. While I don't yet know if we'll be revisiting the Spartans later, I invite you to jump into another of my MC series, the Blind Jacks, which is grittier, dirtier, and even more thrilling. See you there!

    Cocky is a great final installment to this awesome series! Not only did I get to read about Moose and Angel, I also got what feels like a huge epilogue of the Spartan Riders. I love this Series!
    Moose ♥️ after everything that Moose has been through in the past, I was dying for his book and this sweet possessive biker doesn't disappoint. The way he and Angel handle their relationship not only did it keep me glued to the pages but it was definitely getting hot in here while reading it. SCORCHING!!
    I love all these characters, the banter between these bad boy bikers and the chemistry between the couples is why this series is one of my favorites. I am sad that I may never read about them again, but I will never say NEVER because I for one is hoping to read about an all grown up Ash! *hint hint*
    I will say that I was hoping to get a little more details on what happened with some of the couples, but overall an awesome conclusion to the Spartan Riders Series!

    I was sad to see this series end, but it ended well. I loved the third-person POV and that we got glimpses of all the guys. I kinda want Rena and Manny’s story now.

    Through four previous books readers have become fully invested in the lives of the men and women of the Spartan Riders MC and their roller coaster rides to HEA. Through each book in this series readers have laughed at and been charmed by these rough around the edges bikers and the sweet and eclectic heroines who tame them. This final installment brings everything full circle though, ties up loose ends, while introducing readers to another unforgettable couple that kept me glued to the pages from the first page to the last.

    Kade “Moose” Hunter’s always been seen as the good guy, honest to a fault, and loyal to the brotherhood. He’s easygoing but quick to fight when needed as a member of the Spartan Riders and as he sees it, Angel is his reward. It’s a rocky road to HEA though due to her fears and it makes for a sweet and endearing romance that I rooted for every step of the way. Kade’s a man’s man, not afraid to show his softer side, and his trying to woo Angel brought a smile to my face as he didn’t always say or do the right thing. He tried to always be her hero though and for that I fell for him wholeheartedly. His loyalty and desire to see those he cares for have a happy life endeared him to me too and he‘s a good match to Angel’s overt sweetness.

    Angel Grace had a rough childhood where her sister was the only one she could count on. Love wasn’t guaranteed and getting used by others was far too common in their youth. While they were a united front when they were young, their connection became frayed as the years progressed because of Rena’s wild child tendencies. Seeing her sister falter had her clinging to being the good girl and her quietness and cautiousness gives true meaning to her nickname of “Mouse”. Angel appears shy to the other brothers, easy to tame, but when she’s with Kade a sex kitten side emerges. He brings out an inner strength in her when it comes to helping her sister too and it ultimately made them a formidable pair. She may be tiny in size, but she’s bold when it comes to her plentiful interludes with Kade which brought a blush or two to my cheeks.

    This was a fast-paced story that juggled many storylines, finishing up some previous threads while introducing a few new ones that are nicely wrapped up by the conclusion. The romance between Moose and Mouse is sweet yet super sexy and it made for a compelling tale of opposites attracting. In the outside world their temperaments may have been very different, but in their quiet moments they are perfectly in sync with interactions that made me laugh and blush. For a story set in the MC world, the suspense took a backseat to the romance between the main couple and the updates of previous couples. That’s not to say that I wasn’t kept on the edge of my seat though as the remains of the drug cartel are still having an influence on the Riders’s hometown. A plan is underway to bring Manuel Contreras down using an unexpected character (although I figured it out right away) and it was an engaging storyline that I wish had gotten dug into deeper. For the bad guy, Manuel wasn’t easy to define and his interactions with his daughter brought out a charming side to him. The pace of this story is well done too for the most part, though the ending was a bit rushed when it came to Manuel. His future, and that of his daughter, was a bit too easily wrapped up and I’m definitely left wanting more where they’re concerned. Fans of MC romances will find much to like about this book, and this series as a whole, as romances are nicely balanced with heart-pounding action and immensely likable characters. Readers will be left cheering by this series ender and ready for more from the talented Ms. Valentine.

    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! I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.
