I had not read anything by Sara before but I definitely will again. I loved the completeness of her characters and the humor and heat she was able to bring out. It was a nice detour away from the typical "duke" story and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Alex (a duke) and Hayley (an art student) are thrown together by actions her uncle took. It was fun to see them bring out both the best & worst in each other. Lots of secrets are revealed and truths made known. Everything is not always what it seems to be. I voluntarily read an Advance Readers Copy of this book.

The Cocky Duke is a wonderful story. I love a heroin that is strong, intelligent, smart mouthed and quick witted. Hayley is definitely that girl. She does not take crap from anyone, and that includes the most attractive guy she has ever seen.

This is a very fun story, definitely worth reading twice. I am very interested in reading the rest of this series.

Haley is in London visiting her diplomat uncle for 2 weeks. She meets Alex (the Duke) in a club and after discovering he insulted her uncle, throws a drink at him and leaves. Video of it shows up on the internet. After seeing the footage, Alex is made aware of Holly unknowingly being in danger because of some shady business her uncle is involved in. Alex has to figure out how to protect Holly. HEA, no cliff hanger.

This was a fabulous read!! I thoroughly enjoyed the banter between Hayley and Alex from the get go! Watching them go back and forth made me laugh quite a few times and I found myself unable to put the book down until I finished the story!!. I can't wait for the next book featuring Alex brother Seb and hope they bring these two characters from this story into it as well. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book

I voluntarily read an advanced copy. Alex is a Duke and cocky to boot. Hayley has come to London with her uncle who is the USA ambassador. Sparks fly when Alex and Hayley meet as Hayley throws a drink on Alex. Thing get complicated when Hayley and her Uncle must get help from Alex as their safety is threaten. Plenty of twists and turns in this story. Will Alex and Hayley get a happy end or are their social different too much.

I enjoyed this book, it was well written and interesting. It was funny and very entertaining and I really liked Alex, the fact that he was not your tipical aristocratic type made him much more lovable and I thought the interactions between him and Haley were very well written. I thoroughly recommend this book.

I was given an ARC of this book and after reading it I voluntarily decided to write a review.

I voluntarily received an Advance Reader Copy to read for review purposes. Good story. Story line pulls you through the book. Characters are believable and smart enough to realize when they have goofed up. Great for a rainy afternoon by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa. I don’t want to toss out any spoilers as I feel the reader need to judge this book on its own merit, not by what I say

Such a well written book for Sara Forbes. I loved it from beginning to end with a few laughs throughout. Alex and Hayley meeting wasn't an accident in the bar, but when things get a little rough, can Alex hang on to Hayley so they can have a future together? Great read and I look forward to more from this author. " I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book"

Love Love Love this book. The characters were funny, snappy, smart, sexy and just plain out great. Would have liked to saw more about the back ground with the Dukes father, but besides that I cant find anything wrong with this book. The way you made the character grow and come into their own was great, and that they helped each other find the inner self perfect. Thank you for a great story, cant wait to read the rest of the families stories.

I voluntarily received an advanced copy of this book for an honest review. I received this book from Hidden Gems. When Haley met Alex, she didn't know who he was she just knew that he insulted her uncle. She threw her cosmopolitan in his face and caused a great you-tube sensation. They find that they do like each other more than they originally though. Good romance. Good read.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book for an honest review. Alex and Hayley come from two different worlds. Fate keeps throwing them together, as they are both in the middle of trying to overcome issues with their families. I loved this book. It was a great fast read and kept me intrigued until the end. If you love cocky men and fairy tales, then you will love this book!

This is a love story between Alex and Hayley. They meet in a bar and end up all over YouTube when she dumps her drink in his lap. Mix in a little intrigue, sibling rivalry, and art and there you go. This was actually pretty good. The writer gave some insight into the characters and made them quite like able. I voluntarily give this review in exchange for an ARC copy.

I received this advanced reader copy from Hidden Gems, and voluntarily leave a review! I loved this book! Hayley and Alex ( the duke) meet its everything but love at first sight.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. It was ok. I Liked both of the characters very much but I feel as if I was thrown into a story. There was a lot happening with no prelude as to why. The second half was much better than the first because things were explained. All in all not a bad read just a little disjointed to me.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story with great characters, romance and lots of intrigue. Her uncle was a rat. they made a great couple and the ending was great. I believe this is the first book I've read from this author, but I plan to read more. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy and I highly recommend it to lovers of this genre.

This was an interesting story with a dash of politics of a duke and an ambassador's niece. And when he insults her uncle the ambassador, she doesn't stand for it. They have an interesting relationship with him being pushy and her standing up for her family. It was a nice story.

I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book. This is the first book that I have read by Sara Forbes. I was not disappointed with this book. I was hooked from the beginning of the book. I couldn't put the book down I had to see what was going to happen in the story. I can't wait to read more books by Forbes. I will recommend this book.

Once you accept this book might slight push against the boundaries of reality, you'll thoroughly enjoy reading it. Sara uses her artistic licence well and there isn't a point where you want to through the book (or kindle)in disbelief. There's a nice balance of romance, humour and angst which keeps you turning (or swiping) the pages.

Really cute, quirky book. Loved Alex and his family. Was really a good guy, tortured about his responsibilities. Hayley annoyed me a little with the no nonsense, gullible, naive thing. But it all worked out in the end. Loved the drama with the Uncle and international business. Pretty good book. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.

Truly an amazing and well-written book. I can not believe this is Sara Forbes first book she is truly gifted. The story line was amazing and the character development was flawless. Any book she comes out with I will be one of the first people to buy it!

Started out great, loved the humor and play between Alex and Hayley. I liked the story but found the pace slowed a little in the middle but ended very well. Liked the main characters, can't wait to explore the rest of the family. Enjoyed the story, worth the read.

I voluntarily read this arc. It was wonderful. I loved Alex and Hayley story. It was funny, kept my attention I could hardly wait to see the next part. It had intrigued me with so many characters. It is part of a series but can be read as a standalone.
It's a definite read for all readers.

I enjoyed reading this book! The Duke and Hailey are wonderful characters who have a great love story. The story line was a bit predictable and left some unanswered holes, but definitely still worth the read. Sara Forbes' writing is well done and I will look for more of her stories.

I voluntarily read this advanced readers copy of this book. Sara uses strong characters and great story line. I can't wait to read more of her work. You will love reading Hayley and Alex's story. I so can't wait to read more of this series.

Watching the Cocky Duke and the Duchess of the wet t-shirt get together was pretty exciting. Their story is not only the story of the finding each other but also of finding themselves and it's quite the journey. Definitely worth the read!

A summer in London exploring museums and enjoying the nights might sound great,
except when you get insulted by an arrogant Duke and it's on YouTube. Fast read with great storyline, characters and places. I voluntarily received this book to review for my honest opinion.

Such an amazing read. The story had me hooked from the first page. I couldn't put it down. The story and characters were fantastic. I felt like I was part of the story. I would recommend this to everyone to read.

I found this book to be in interesting combination of funny and serious. There were a lot of amusing moments.
However, I would have liked to see more character development and more interaction between several of the more important characters.
I'm looking forward to the second book ;)

While I enjoyed Cocky Duke as a whole, there were some rather annoying bits that took away from the overall story. I understand there needs to be conflict in these sorts of romances, but when the male lead is pretty much an ass most of the book, it's difficult to figure out why our heroine falls in love with him. Halfway through the book, I was rooting for a breakup, instead of a HEA. However, the story as a whole is entertaining, and the supporting characters add a lot to flesh out the story.
