Blurb:

Jon Brennan comes from a long line of men in uniform; all born and bred to both bleed and wear blue. His family and the majority of his co-workers support him every step of the way, so he doesn’t need to hide the fact that he prefers men over women. Between the job and his larger than life, loud and rowdy half Irish, half Italian family, there isn’t much time for dating, much less finding a guy that can deal with the stress and demands placed on the shoulders of an NYPD Detective.

Kory White is cocky and abrasive with most people, but it is all a mirage, a façade he hides behind to keep his heart safe. As a child, Kory lost his mother to an act of violence. Soon after, he and his baby sister Kassandra were separated by the system. Kassandra was immediately adopted, but Kory spent the next ten years cycling through foster homes before moving to the Big Apple. In an effort to keep everyone at a distance, Kory has meticulously built himself an alter ego: Hayden Cox, All Cocks’ cockiest model.

These two strong willed men definitely prove opposites do attract. Both are stubborn and hard headed to a fault, Kory more so than Jon. But Jon is used to being in control, the one calling the shots, and Kory fights him at every turn. Just when it seems they have found a way to navigate the unchartered territory that is love, tragedy knocks on Kory’s door yet again. Volatile and strong, even in the face of adversity, both men refuse to give up on each other - or their love.

Except:

“Oh my god, is that a smile?” Jordan smirked at Kory over the rim of his coffee cup.

“Fuck off, Jordan.” Kory muttered, shoving him out of the way and grabbing a mug out of the cabinet.

“Play nice, boys!” Andrew shouted from the den.

“Careful Kory, people might actually start to believe you have a personality.” Jordan continued to poke fun at him.

“Kiss my ass,” Kory growled, shoving past Jordan as he headed back upstairs with his steaming cup of coffee.

“At least we’ve moved past fuck off. Dating Jon is working wonders for your vocabulary!” Jordan yelled after him.

Tracy's review:

5 Stars!!

I loved this book. Jon and Kory aka/Hayden meet when Jon, an NYPD Detective comes to the All Cocks home to get Mattie's statement after Lance drugs him. Jon is a huge Hayden fan, but he doesn't want Hayden. He wants to get to know Kory. These two get together and sparks ignite!! Can Kory open up, and trust enough to let Jon in?

I loved this story, but more than the story, I LOVED these characters. They were both bullheaded, stubborn and feisty. Neither willing to back down and at times it got physical, not abuse physical just throwing things mainly. (Both of these guys could definitely could use some anger management!) These fights, along with the interactions between Jon and his bothers and grandma(OMG Gran is SO funny), led to some serious comic relief. Yes, this book had a serious undertone to it, but it was also funny as hell. I spent a good portion of this book laughing out loud. I wouldn't recommend reading this book in public, because people tend to look at you strangely if you are laughing out loud for no apparent reason! Hehe

I couldn't wait to get to Jon and Kory's story, and Ms. Smith didn't disappoint. She well exceeded my expectations with this story. This book was everything I wanted and more. It was sad, sweet, hot and hilarious. It was fast paced and kept me entertained and turning the pages to see what would happen next.

Jon and Kory had an amazing chemistry and their characters were well developed. I loved getting to see the All Cocks characters, and I especially loved getting to meet Jon's hilarity family. I look forward to seeing more of them in the future. The story had some surprising twists and turns I didn't see coming. I walked away from this book satisfied and feeling the warm and fuzzies! This is part of a series, but could definitely be read as a standalone, although this is a great series, so why would you want to miss any of these books?!

A military brat born and raised at Ft. Benning Georgia; Smith is an avid reader, reviewer and writer. She now calls Texas home from her small town on the outskirts of the DFW Metroplex. Most days you can find her curled up with her kindle and a good book alongside a glass of something aged and red or a steaming cup of coffee!

At 44 years young, she's decided to enter the next phase of her life by adding the title of "author" to her list of accomplishments. Smith is a single mom of three disturbingly outspoken and decidedly different kids, one of which is Autistic. Besides her writing, Smith is passionate about Autism advocacy and LGBT rights.
