Publisher's Summary
From New York Times best sellers Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland comes a sexy new standalone novel.
He was someone who belonged in my wildest fantasies instead of a rest stop in the middle of Nebraska. A sexy, cocky Australian named Chance was the last person I expected to run into on my cross-country drive. When my car broke down, we made a deal. Next thing I knew, we were traveling together, spending sexually tense nights in hotels, and taking unplanned detours. My ordinary road trip turned into the adventure of a lifetime.
It was all fun and games until things got intense. I wanted him, but Chance wouldn't make a move. I thought he wanted me, too, but something was holding him back. I wasn't supposed to fall for the cocky bastard, especially when I knew we'd be going our separate ways. All good things must come to an end, right? Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.
Author's note: Cocky Bastard is a full-length standalone novel. Due to strong language and sexual content, this audiobook is not intended for listeners under the age of 18.

Enjoyable
Overall I enjoyed the characters and the story. A little predictable but well passed and heartfelt.
As an Australian I know how difficult our accent can be for the rest of the world to pull off authentically. Unfortunately both narrators at times struggled to get it right, Aaron was a little bit better than Michelle. Some of the words were pushed too far where the accent sounded comical and over done, and at other times both sounded slightly British.
The most annoying thing about the story though was Aubrey's name - even in the book it's pronounced incorrectly, Penelope and Vi wrote it as "Ah-Bree" to try and replicate the Aussie accent but it really should be "Or-Bri". It made me cringe everytime I heard it.

Terrible male narrator
Interesting storyline but the male narrator is absolutely terrible.
He has a really bad Australian accent and I agree with other reviews, that he sounds like a 50 year old English man.
Not only is his accent bad but his voice narration is off, raising his voice when he shouldn’t be. He’s concentrating so hard to do the accent that some of what he’s saying doesn’t make sense.
It’s really hard to follow as a listener.

Well that was a weird 7 or so hours
I'll be honest, I normally don't mind bad Australian accents and that's because I'm used to people making it sound like a British accent. This audio book on the other hand forgot entirely about it and by the end of the book I forgot he was meant to be Aussie. The story was hard to get through and the narration was also difficult to get through. I liked how the female narrator at least did a fair enough job on the accent though.

Entertaining Performance
The advice not to judge a book by it's cover should also apply to reviews. I avoided this book for a while due to the reviews, particularly of the narrators. And I was relieved to hear that Aaron Abano has an authentic sounding Australian accent. Not only that, the inflection and emphasis were perfect for the style in which this novel is written. For me, this book had balance. The intensity of the first half of the book was lightened by the writing style and the narration in the second half and I smiled through most of it. How can you not smile, when there is Cocky Bastard who goes after what he wants, limits his vocabulary when referring to his rival and has a soft spot for a goat?

Would have preferred no accents
Started listening to this a couple of weeks ago, and only just finished yesterday. I couldn't listen to too much of it in one sitting - I was determined to get through it, but the narration was really not the best. I wish both the narrators hadn't tried to do an Aussie accent, especially the male narrator. He ended up sounding like an old man, not at all suited to the male character of the story, Chance. 3 stars for the story, but I'd give 2 for the Narration

Narrators wrecked the book
Couldn't handle the male narrator. I think if it was narrated by Sebastian York it would if made the book better

That awful accent
That accent was awful! Chance sounded like a 50 year old man from London.
Spoiler alert - that was not an Aussie accent.
The story was ok, but the reading made me cringe, and I just couldn’t get into it. I should have just read the ebook.

Great story
The narrator who read Chances part was not a good fit for the story. He sounded like an English older gentleman. I'm from Australia and it was very difficult to listen too

Horrible Australian accent
Great story but didn't enjoy the narrators. Worst Australian accent, didn't suit male character at all. Especially as he sounded so much older than the character so it was hard to visualise the description of him to the voice. Overall story was great and I enjoyed it wish I read the book instead of the audiobook.

Needed a better "Aussie" accent
Not a bad story, has some great giggles especially thanks to pixie AKA Mutton AKA Esmerelda Snow Flake. I couldn't get past the Australian Accent of the male narrator, it sounded more like a an old aussie who had been sitting in the local pub with his fosters and smoking some winnie red's for 70yrs too long. definately needed a younger narrator.
