Gabriel Cocker (Cocker Brothers - The Cocky Series Book 10)

Paige and Gabriel. Those names just inspire fantasies. Faleena Hopkins does it again. She mesmerizes me with a hard dose of realistic human challenges that keeps me feeling the ups and downs of life. First we start with Paige, a struggling-to-make-ends-meet Yoga instructor, discovering a dark world of her brother’s downward spiral with gambling addiction. Next, we have Gabriel’s cousin, Ben Cocker, who by accident – pun intended – feels the punch of meeting Paige and his attempts to scoop her up because he just knows that she is IT for him. When Paige meets Ben and then meets sexy, brooding Gabriel, she is overcome by their zealous perusal of her and also annoyed at their testosterone sling fest. This is what I laughed out loud about and what I wanted more of. As I am swiping through pages as fast as I can, I grin at all of the happy Cocker clan that drop in and pass by. I love the series which reminds me of Nora Roberts’s McGregor series, although it is just a little bit more snarky and contemporary. Oh, and sexy. And…okay maybe not the same. Having a family clan and the siblings and the siblings’ children find love and happiness is fun and messy. The Cocker family has all that and more. Faleena has become a favorite author of mine and her books become an insta-click to purchase as soon as a release hits the market. I highly recommend reading from the first book to the last. You will not be disappointed.

Once again Faleena Hopkins has written an outstanding story. One that songs could be written about. When I read her stories I feel like I am reading about people I know and care about. She has a way of drawing you into the story without even realizing it. I enjoyed Paige and Gabriel's story because it wasn't all gooey sweetness. It felt like real life. In life things are not always what they seem and that is definitely the case of Paige's life. In Gabriel's case sometimes you have to do things you don't really want to. Things do not go quite as planned right from the beginning and that is when trouble starts. Paige and Gabriel play off of each other in a smart alecky way that is never hurtful but shows how much they get each other. Paige is put in a situation that she didn't want to be in and it gets even stranger when Ben shows up but she shows she can hold her own. Two alpha males, what is a girl to do? This isn't a story just about Paige and Gabriel though, we meet their family and friends and see how they are all connected. Faleena's style of writing is so smooth that even with all the side stories it is all integrated in a natural way. She invites you into the family from the first page, you can't help but care about them all.
If you are protective of and believe in standing by family even when you don't see eye to eye then you will fall in love with the Cocker family. I wasn't sure where Gabriel and Ben's relationship was going to end up, but family is family.
Every book in this series has been such an enjoyable read that I wished the stories would just keep going on. That is my only complaint - the story ends too quickly! A benefit of this series is that you don't have to read them in any order. So if you found this book before reading any of the others start reading now and you will be hooked.

I've been reading the entire Cocker Brothers Series because they've seriously been great, but it seems there is a pattern developing that the Cockers are getting more unattractive with their personalities each generation. I'm simply not enjoying the series as much as I did when these books were written about their fathers. The author went too far with the "cockiness" into the realm of egotistical and sleazy instead of the tried and true style of confident alpha male. Bummer for the readers.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book and this is my honest review.

I don't know who I love more, the Cocker family or Faleena Hopkins. How does she do it? How does she write such amazing stories? If you haven't read any of the Cocker Brothers books ..... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???? Get busy. You will fall in love. Each member of the family has his or her own story. They are stand alone but I would recommend reading the brothers books before their kids (cousins books).

This family is absolutely incredible. I didn't know how I was gonna feel about Gabriel at the beginning. But of course I ended up falling in love with him and Paige. As always I can't wait for the next book.

Thank you again Faleena for yet another amazing book.

As expected, Gabriel is equally as wonderful as each book in the series. Gabriel is the stereotypical rock star who seems to live on the edge, but has such a solid foundation of familial love his passionate nature never tips him over the edge into destruction. Paige lives in the midst of chaos, but has such a calming and nurturing nature. They fit together like 2 puzzle pieces with each other's strengths balancing the others weaknesses. It appears that situations conspire to keep them from love, but their HEA is just as powerful as all of the rest of the family's. Paige's insight during the last untangling of their problems with Ben and Shelby was so dead on it made me cry! Love this one TOO!

Awesome contemporary rockstar (Cocker Family) romance. This is the second generation of the Cocker Family stories. Gabriel is a well-known rockstar. Like most of the males in his family they are assertive, cocky, alpha males. Gabriel is set in his life as a rockstar as well as many of the perks, including women who throw themselves at him. Paige is a yoga instructor who is trying to care for herself and her brother that has an addiction. Paige wins a radio contest with her best friends help. Paige gets to go out on a date with Gabriel. Unfortunately, Gabriel's cousin Ben also likes Paige. Family life has its trials and tribulations but when one member is down the rest of the family will guard and guide those in need. Ms. Hopkins did another wonderful job bringing out the best and worst of the characters and their situations so that readers feel they are right there with the characters. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review. I very much look forward to reading future books by this author especially Cocker Family books.

I stumbled onto the first book in this series (Cocky Roomie), and now I can't get each new one onto my reader fast enough. I loved Gabriel's story! Paige was exactly the right counterpart to him, and they were each so different from previous men and women in the Cocker Brothers novels that I never felt like I was rereading one of the earlier books. I enjoyed the way Gabriel started out so...well, cocky...then revealed other interesting bits and pieces of his personality as the story progressed. I also really enjoy the close connections the Cocker family maintains, and how they keep appearing in one another's lives.

The author has a real gift for making a reader feel part of the story, from anger to laughter, from frustrated to wanted and cherished.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book, but would have snapped it up in a heartbeat anyway!

I received this book in exchange for a honest review.

First, I must confess that I am an avid fan of Faleena's writing. Second, I read like a crazy person.

This book like the others is engaging, funny, and wrought with emotions. Gabes is truly a great character. He is strong, funny and spoiled. Paige is perfect for him. She is sweet, loyal, grounded and flawed.

As I read this book I couldn't help but laugh. Ben, Ethan, Elijah and Hannah all make an appearance even his sexy, mood father, Justin shows up. This book was more emotionally charged than the others since they were both dealing with abandonment and loneliness. There twist and turns that make the book a great read. It doesn't slow down at all. You get an accident, smashed cameras, danger, cross country flights and plenty of misunderstandings. I loved Cocky rockstar. This is one of the best books I have read this month. Take some time and read this one. You won't be disappointed in this love triangle.

I received an ARC. Gabriel is an intriguing character, definitely a Cocker but a bit of a misfit as well. He's handsome, talented and charming but needs to find his strength and himself. These two characters spark like flint and stone. Paige is a person we could all use as a friend, insightful, caring and so very strong. One of Faleena Hopkins' talents as a writer is creating that magic when two people meet, the joys of a relationship (and the necessary quirks) that continues to grow. If you read this series, and you should, you'll find the family tree helpful. These stories are delightful. Thank you, Faleena Hopkins, for another awesome read.

Gabriel lives the fast paced life of a rockstar, touring the world, having millions of fans, endless number of women at his finger tips and living life to the extreme being a Cocker family member. All that changes in one moment when he meets Paige. Their chemistry is undeniable and they have the instant fireworks.

Along with their instant attraction comes all the drama of a Cocker family relationship. Faleena does an amazing job adding in the other Cocker family members so you keep tabs on what's going on with them.

Gabriel and Paige go through quite the whirlwind of a story to be together. It's quite insane! My only hesitation of a 5 star is always the "instant" attraction that drops everything and change who you are and what you've been doing. I liked the hurdles they had you overcome and the drama, but it was all too much going on at the same time.

Faleena Hopkins best series out there love love love the Cocker Brothers from Atlanta series so many lives and stories and dramas with very hot sexy men and woman and there children of course. This is a story mostly of Gabriel, Paige and his cousin Ben two guys one girl they both want Paige I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book # 10 Cocky Rocker it's as great if not even better than some if the others it's a must read I highly recommend to read the whole series it doesn't have to be in order but it's the best way to follow this amazing family and there journeys. Great story between Gabriel and Paige there chemistry was hot and Ben accepted that Paige chose Gabriel maybe the next book will have Ben get his love read it to see how everything comes together. Well done Faleena.

Another smash hit by Faleena Hopkins!! Gabriel is a typical Cocker: cocky and arrogant! He's known as a rockstar in more than one way and Paige wants no part of the player he is. Things get interesting when Ben steps in to catch her on his release...but neither can truly release each other. Paige has enough on her hands and doesn't think Gabriel's worth the time until he is! Another fantastic story in the Cocker Bros series!!! Oh and by the way...this boy is hot, hot, hot!!!

I keep repeating myself over and over with my Faleena Hopkins reviews, but I can't help it! This series keeps getting better and better!

Gabriel... oh he was flawed, so flawed and I LOVED that! In the beginning, I wasn't sure if I liked him or not, and then the more of him that was revealed, the more I could understand him and his behavior. I really enjoyed how the author made him as real as can be in this fantasy rockstar world.

Paige is a great match for him, and her relationship with her brother had me in tears. As someone who loves someone with an addiction, it really is a struggle to do the right thing for them... And for yourself.

Read this series. Start at the beginning if you can, you won't regret it!

Faleena Hopkins best series out there love love love the Cocker Brothers from Atlanta series so many lives and stories and dramas with very hot sexy men and woman and there children of course.

I received an ARC and provided my honest review voluntarily.

I voluntarily received an ARC for an honest review. I can't help loving rock star romances, so naturally I love Gabriel! Holy Hotness!! My stomach was in knots while their story played out!! I loved how he meets Paige, and how intense their meeting is. Her personality is so perfect for this book. I was laughing and cringing through their first date!! I love how the women in the Cocker's lives are so awesome!! Faleena really makes her characters come alive in these books, so much so that by this point in the series you feel like you know the family personally. Not many authors are able to pull this off so well. Great addition to the series. I have loved every book and can't wait to find out who's story is next!!

I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book. I LOVED Cocky Rockstar!! I was completely engrossed, and barely noticed all of the strange looks when I would have to just laugh out loud. Gabriel was awesome.....even though he tried his best to ignore the love bug that bit him. Poor Ben just can't catch a break. I could just imagine his frustration. He wants to find love so bad, and Gabriel was running from it. And Paige. She was a truly brave soul to take a chance on a rockstar. She had to be pretty strong to turn down someone who was everything stable for something that could have been disasterous. Especially after witnessing that scene backstage. I love the egos, the drama and the love!!!

This book is Cocky Rockstar: Gabriel Cocker, book 10 of the Cocker Brothers of Atlanta series, written by Faleena Hopkins. In this book we get to watch the love story of Paige and Ben unfold....er wait....I meant to say Gabriel...or did I? We get a very interesting twist in this story. I don't know how Faleena is constantly able to write a fresh new story each time, but she continues to impress me with each one. Always sweet, comical, sexy and unpredictable, like all of her stories. I was drawn in from the first page and unable to put it down until I finished it. I can't wait for the next cousin!! I received a complimentary advance readers copy and voluntarily chose to leave this review.

I love rockstar romances its my favorite genre ! But that's not all why I loved this book! This is my favorite out of all the cockers!! Lol I loved this book!! It had so much emotion and went places I didn't see it going at all!! I did guess some things but not much lol Gabriel definitely had some growing up to do and I'm so glad we got to see that happen!! Omg I don't even know how to put into words how much I liked this book!! Lol I definitely recommend this book 100% don't miss out on an amazing read one click this B !! You won't regret it!! Thank you Faleena Hopkins for an amazing read!! Loved it!! ???? ?

Received this as an ARC in exchange for an honest review, but where to start? This book as any of the other books in this series didn't disappoint... Faleena's amazing writing lets you lose yourself so much in the story that even when you haven't been thru the characters specific struggles it's amazing how easily you can relate to them.. I loved this book so much because of it and I totally recommend it to anyone who's trying to get lost in a story or just wants to laugh and spend some time reading, it's an easy fun read with tons of drama and an epic love story

Another chapter of the Cocker Family series

Paige's life is at a crossroads, she is about to become homeless and the person she is trying to help keeps letting her down. Enter not one but two Cocker cousins and the fairy tale begins.

Gabriel is a twin, just like his father. He is a famous rock star that feels like he is alone even though his family is huge. Paige is like a cool sip of water on a hot summer day, the only blip on the radar is his cousin who is also interested and trying to take her away from him.

A few misunderstandings, betrayals and heartbreaking mishaps stand in this couples way to their HEA, how do the Cockers deal with that love triangle when the very rarely experience rejection.

An awesome chapter to the continuing Cocker family Saga

I received an advance copy of this book for an honest review

I mean. Seriously. How can you get hotter than this! I love the entire series, I love how these strong, arrogant men, when they fall go so completely in love with their women. In my life, this is how love is, and I love seeing it in print. The pure heart in this family, and all of the characters makes me cry.

Please write faster, Faleena. I read the whole book this morning and I am having withdrawals already!!!

Great story! Gabriel can get any woman he wants. Paige wins a date with him and concert tickets. Great chemistry, hot n sexiness throughout! Paige is a strong and feisty woman and Gabriel is head over heels and doesn't know why. Some drama, a fight, sexy scenes, and a HEA. What more do you need? I received an arc for a voluntarily honest review.

I love this series. Another cocky Cocker goes down. Gabriel has had music going through his mind since he was young. He was a rock star on tour when he came home to Atlanta for one show. His PR person Met set up a contest for a date with him. Paige Miller's friend won the contest and gave them Paige's name. Faleena Hopkins does such a wonderful job with these books. She draws you it and hooks you so you can't wait to see what happens next.

The Cocker family continues to entertain with their antics! Ben and Gabrial fight over a sweet yoga instructed, who is mutually attracted to Gabrial during a publicity date set up by his agent. Chemistry sizzles between them. After an amazing concert in Atlanta, Gabrial is caught backstage with a backup dancer in a compromising situation, causing Paige to flee with Ben. Luckily, true love reunites them, creating a rift with the cousins. This is a page turner.

I am voluntarily reviewing this ARC.
Yes, I received an ARC copy of this book but I would gladly spend $ for any of the Cocker Brothers books.I addicted to this series and after every book I say "That Cocker was definitely my Favorite!" And sure enough after reading about Gabriel Cocker and his rockstar ways... He's my new favorite lol. Faleena Hopkins has become one of my "Go to" authors and I can't wait to get more of those Cockers in my Kindle!

This was different than I expected. In a good way. Gabriel has made it big. When Paige, a yoga instructor, wins a date with him it changes his life forever.

This book is great. But for some reason it was harder for me to read than the others have been. Maybe it was because of the family drama or maybe I didn't connect with Paige and Gabriel like I have the other characters but regardless it's still an amazing read because Faleena Hopkins NEVER disappoints.

I really enjoyed Gabriel's book. Wasn't sure what was going on for a couple chapters due to another characters role but since I was absolutely addicted already I read on and loved the way it turned out. Im really enjoying all the Cocker cousins and this is a perfect example of why. It's fun. It's emotional. And it throws a wicked curve right at the beginning. Way to go Faleena.

Ms. Hopkins has done it again, made me fall in love with another Cocker, although I didn't like having to choose ... So far I have said this for just about every book in the series, but I think this one is my favorite, but I'll probably say the same thing about the next one...... Now I can't wait to see which Cocker the next book will be.

I love everything about this series, and this book is no different. Actually, I shouldn't say that. There were several elements that were different and it showed more facets to this family. Paige and Gabriel have issues they need to face, and they lean on each other to do so. They have an unconventional start, with some drama thrown in. There was humor, angst, and lots of sexiness.

I received an ARC of this book for my review.

This is one of the most beautiful love stories. It's a love triangle between 3 very special people. Ben and Gabriel are cousins, both show such depth of character with their human flaws. And Paige shows an amazing depth of character. She is really wise beyond her years. But out of mistakes and faults comes growth, understanding, maturity and true love. Well done Faleena Hopkins. Your best story to date.

Paige, yoga instructor, is trying to keep her brother from gambling away all their money and from being evicted. Her best friend and fellow yoga instructor, Shelby, enters her into a contest for a date night with hot rock star, Gabriel Cocker. As the winner, Paige is treated to a night out with Gabriel but meets his cousin Ben earlier that day. The chase is on and the sparks fly....

I really enjoy reading about this family. The family has expanded to the point that each book should begin with a family tree. Lol
The characters were grounded, relatable and lovable.
It's nice getting glimpses of the original Cocker's that the series started off with.
I highly recommend this series.

I loved this storyline. After the last book where Ethan talked to the readers I was afraid the author changed her writing styles. Thank goodness she was back to her fun, creative, sexy writing style. I'm also thankful the storyline was more about Gabriel's personal life than his rock star life.

This was a romantic and funny addition to the cousins sarga. Gabriel was a reminder of his uncle Jason and the similarities of how twins often reproduce the same characteristics of the first set, since iPhone twin had twins it was bond to turn out this way. I love this story and already recommended to my daughter to read but it might take awhile since she reads as much as I do!

Another great addition to the Cocker series. Gabriel and Paige were great together. You also get to see some of the Cocker family which is always good for some laughs. I can't wait to see who the next book is about. I voluntarily reviewed and ARC copy for this book.

Just adored this story. From the first word till the last I was intrigued with the storyline. Love that the male characters know right from the start their soulmate, even if they fight it. Love the sense of family throughout this series. Narration was superb.

I received a copy from the author to voluntarily read and give an honest review. I love to read Faleena's books because they're so original and good, really good. There is drama and fun and sexy times. Gabriel seems like such a jerk at first but he grows on you and the heroine is someone you wish you had as a friend. A wonderful addition to the series. JIR

Match made in heaven. Love/hate at first sight. A few road blocks along the wsy. As usual men tripping over their egos. Just like real life. But the girl gets the brass ring. As it should be. So loved this book. highly recommend. Think I need to read more of the "Cocker" boys stories! I was given this book as an ARC. This is my honest opinion.

My favorite thing about this series is how it makes me feel welcome. It's like returning to a place where e re I always have fun, with people who always excite me and no matter what other emotions come out to play, I'm guaranteed to laugh until it hurts all the live long day. These characters are exactly what I imagined sexy characters to be and being invited to the party makes me feel like they're all mine. Now I give it four stars, not because it's less than others books in this genre but because there are other books in the series bringing just a little more to the table. I love this generation but deep down I'll always be a daddy's girl.
