Kelly is an admin assistant, and she's miserable at her current company. She's in need of a change and is struggling to find something she is passionate about. That is until her friend has a job opening at her animal rescue.
Ben has traveled out to California (from Chicago) to start his voice over job, and is at the Melting Moon Café with his friend Garland. While there a couple is having a disagreement, and suddenly another woman comes crashing into that couple spilling her coffee everywhere. She offers her apologies and then quickly exits the building. Ben is curious about that mystery woman. She definitely made an impression upon him in that short time. Ben runs into the mystery woman again a little bit later at Club Punch, but they never exchange phone numbers. So much continues to happen that thwarts any plans that Ben has for connecting with Kelly.
Cocky Gamer was FABULOUS. I have not read any of the Cocky Bastard books, nor any of the books from the Cocky Hero Club, but damn if I don't want to now! This story was just missed connection after missed connection. Then when things finally started happening, there was issues with communication. Yet there was something that just kept pushing Ben and Kelly together. They were meant to be. And I absolutely loved this book! I want more of these two, and all the side characters.
If you're looking for a relatively quick, easy read that has plenty of romance then go read Cocky Gamer by Lauren Helms. Trust me!
Thank you for reading my thoughts,
His entire pro-team is moving on and now it's time for Ben to do the same but when a short gig for a voice-over brings this Chicago native to California he finds a little more than what he bargained for.
A chance meeting on the beaches of Hermosa soon has Ben falling head over lust for the animal-loving, wave crushing woman.
Kelly Spencer is stuck in a job she hates and with a dating life as dull as the last series of dates she's been on. Fortunately, her best friend Aubrey has her back.
With her prospects looking bleaker by the day, she throws caution to the wind in both her personal and professional life.
Long-distance love with a cocky gamer was never on her radar but Ben is flirty and fun - plus their chemistry together is off the charts.
When a huge career opportunity threatens to put even more miles between them, Kelly may just have to let go of the one guy who's found a way inside her heart.
Ben may have let her go then but when a last-minute offer comes in that will land him right where his heart wants to be, he takes and vows that this time - he'll prove to Kelly that they're meant to be.
Lauren lives in Indianapolis, Indiana sharing her love of books and video games with her own Gamer Boy husband and three little kid nerds who will hopefully grow up to share the love of things that united Lauren and her husband on their own happily ever after.
