About this listen
Emma
When my best friend Aubrey asked me to tag along to an event with her, I never could have imagined that it would be the day that my life changed forever. He's arrogant and demanding and doesn't take a hint. Landon Barker, the quarterback for the Hermosa Beach Trojans, is a player on and off of the field. He's got his sights set on me as his next play, but I see right through him. Aubrey says I'm overreacting, that I should give him a chance. What she doesn't realize is men like Landon don't fall for the girl next door. That's not reality. She got her fairytale, although it was a long road. Not all of us are that lucky.
Landon
She's a friend of our new kicking coach's wife. When I ask Chance for her number, he tells me I have to find a way to get it myself.
Nothing when it comes to Emma has been easy. She's the first woman ever to turn me down, and that won't do. However, as time passes, it's about more than that. It's about her smile, her laugh, and just spending time with her. She thinks I'm a player, and she's right. What she doesn't know is that I play to win, and her heart is the ultimate trophy.

Story
Hermosa Beach seems to be the place for throwing together unlikely opposites. My rooster Rowdy and his new crush, Pixy the goat. Me and the obnoxiously cocky cowboy from Texas.... But unlike Rowdy and Pixy, there’s no way I’m going to fall for David Strickland. Nope. Not gonna happen. I could never be with a man so completely opposed to everything I believe...no matter how hot he is.

Cooper Reeves was the boy-next-door. Every milestone, every memory of my youth was entangled with his. We were inseparable...until college. It wasn't his friends, girls, or even sports that came between us - it was me. Tired of being in the friend zone, I finally made a move. Turns out it was the wrong one. Cooper walked away to play his first year of professional football and left me behind with a broken heart.

There comes a point in your life where you have to say enough is enough. I wasted my college years on a guy who played with my head, played with my heart. I was blinded by the fairy tale, the one that didn't exist. The day I gave up on the idea of happily ever after, my focus became me. Moving forward and establishing my career. Until one day.... I didn't expect him. My new boss, a six foot two, inked rock god. I believed I was working for the record label - I was wrong.

Hockey star Max Yearwood was everything I needed at the time - fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months, since he’d signed with a new team 3,000 miles away. Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right? Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

I’ve got a list of people I absolutely don’t ever want to be stuck with on a boat, or a plane, or a train, and it starts and ends with the broody, grumpy, too-sexy-for-my-own good Axel Huxley. Also known as this romance novelist’s number one nemesis. The man is legendary for his mighty pen and his even mightier scowl. I tried to work together with the cocky thriller writer once upon a time, but the two of us are like vodka and good decisions. We don’t play well together.

Loved Every Moment of this Romance!!!
Kaylee Ryan has done it again....She has created another swoon-worthy hero that is the absolute total package. Lucky Bastard is the story of Emma who works at an animal shelter and Landon AKA Lucky Bastard, who is the quarterback for the Hermosa Beach Trojans. Emma works with Aubrey who is Chance AKA Cocky Bastard's wife (both from Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland's book Cocky Bastard), and Chance is a coach for the Trojans as well.
Landon is a man who knows what he wants and goes after it, and he has his sights set on Emma. His determination to win her over was remarkable, and he was genuine about it also, which was nice. Emma was reluctant to give him a shot given the discrepancies in their life situations, but he eventually wore her down.
I enjoyed Landon's take charge attitude, his protectiveness of Emma and his overall commitment to the relationship. When he committed, he fully committed, no question about it and he doted on Emma. I love that Kaylee Ryan's books are generally low drama, high romance, all around feel good books, and Lucky Bastard was no exception.
Teddy Hamilton is among my very favorite of male narrators. He did a fantastic job as Landon. I also really enjoy listening to Savannah Peachwood. She does a great job with various emotions throughout the course of the story.

Fantastic story and performance!
I love a good chase! Add in a cocky hero and it's even better. Kaylee Ryan has done it again; another story that pulls you in from page 1 and keeps you reading right up to the last epilogue. The last several chapters were a surprise but I still got my HEA.

Good story
This book has a lot of inconsistencies.
Example: Emma says she owns the house and that it isn’t much but it’s hers. Then later on in the story talks about how she cannot have pets because the landlord doesn’t allow it. At the end they talk about how they listed her house. Just a lot of little inconsistencies throughout the story

Good !
The first book that started the “Hero Club Series” Soraya and Graham’s story Is “Stuck-Up Suit” by ViKeeland and Penelope Ward it took me forever to figure it out.
You don’t need to read the first book but if you want to....

My kind of story with some drama and no melodrama. Beautifully written and if I could make one complaint is that I missed Chance’s accent. However loved every minute of it !

Good Story and very engaging!
4.5 Stars for me!
I really enjoyed this story and found myself invested in the MCs and supporting characters. The twist was a bit different but I had a strong idea of what it was. It was handled well and the author did not drag out any of the conflicts which is very refreshing. There are explicit sexual scenes but they enhance the story and don't have the H breaking physiological boundaries! 😏
Definitely worth the listen!

Loved this
Awesome book! I always love Ms. Ryan's books. This was such a great combination of her excellent writing and the CB world. Not too much angst. A realistic path to the bedroom, never rushed. I can always count on her books to be love stories with great sex scenes but also a rich, full story around them.

Enjoyed
This was the first showcase story in our new Booktastic Book Club. I enjoyed the story especially the journey of their friendship. It was a nice sweet story. I would recommend if you like a story that is about a couple meeting and beginning a relationship. Was a nice story to listen to while I was at work. Happy we chose it for our first book club as we could draw alot of Getting to Know you Questions based off of the story. Love the new Cocky Hero Club as they are standalones.
