Fine Story but *needs* to be open about the content

This was fine, very middle of the road romance. Hayden was a little frustrating because she didn’t trust Adam for reasons I didn’t think made sense. She was a logical person, it was pretty clear Adam wasn’t telling Hayden anything for justified reasons. Adam was consistent and swoon-ish.

Overall, the romance was not overly intense or intriguing, because it takes sort of a back seat in favor of the mystery. This book (I skip around series orders so this was my first) definitely looks like a rom-com based on the cover, title, tag-line, and blurb… it is not.

This has some pretty dark storylines from the horrific bullying Hayden endured, the (barely touched on) early sexual life Adam engaged in, fragmented family dynamics, extensive workplace misconduct and malpractice, workplace sexual assault and harassment, and…. Human trafficking.

I 100% anticipated this last from early on (I realized a few chapters in this was NOT the book I thought I would be listening to), but this is a heavy lineup of dark for readers. I am not triggered by much, but a lot of people are sensitive to this sort of content.

I’m intrigued by this author, and will continue with some of her other stuff… but like I said, this is relatively mediocre in the romance department in the face a dark mystery “sub”-plot.

Thankfully it is in the Plus Catalogue otherwise I’d have been a bit bitter about spending a credit on this due to the slightly false advertising.

Decent fluff

Not the strongest characters - but I sat in the car in the drive to continue listening

Worth a listen

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. The series is good - there is an underlying storyline running through the series, so it would be best to read/listen to them in order.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Cocky Prince?

Not sure.

Which character – as performed by Susannah Jones and Zachary Webber – was your favourite?

Hayden was my favourite. Adam is a good man, but he spent too long not sharing information with Hayden, and wilfully ignoring what he knew must be bad business practices for my liking.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Can't think of just one.

A very likeable listen 👍

Found this in the included list. Not read or listened to anything by Jules Barnard before, so wasn’t sure what to expect. I do however, usually read reviews and title details beforehand, that way I get an idea of what to either expect or avoid, it also avoids wasting a credit 🙂
This story was well written and had excellent narration, a perfect pairing for this book.
I’ve heard these two narrators before, and they are very good, with really nice voices that are easy to listen to.
The story had drama, suspense, comedy and a good dose of the romance we all love.
The characters had great chemistry and were believable and likeable.
There are several more ‘included’ books in the Never Date series, which I’ve already downloaded to listen to straight after🙂
Ticks all boxes. Very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend 👍

Wow!

Ok I loved the dynamic between Hayden & Adam. I wish they were both a little bit more open with each other. Overall it all played out well in the end.

Lots more to the story than the blurb suggests

The storyline was okay and it kept me listening. However without giving away spoilers, this wouldn’t have been a story I’d choose to read if I’d known at the start where the plot would take me. Very cryptic, I know. Probably should have declined to review, as I’ve helped no one! 😂

It’s quite dark

I agree with another reviewer. I’ve read the series and whilst it is a romance with a few comic elements there are does contain troubling themes that I hadn’t expected. I found the main female character very irritating. The performance, particularly the male character was very good.
