Kocke Chronicles

by B.J. Bentley, Danica Dawn, Paula-Michelle Trotter

Four authors. Four stories. One name… Kocke. Confident. Alpha. Cocky. This collection of short stories drops you into the fast-paced, attitude-packed world of the Kocke men. Lawyer. Professor. Policeman. CEO. They rule over the worlds that they work in, but they are about to find out that dominating their professional life is easy compared to controlling their hearts. Stories included in this Kocke Professor, where grades aren’t the only thing on the line. (Danica Dawn) Kocke Lawyer, where falling for the boss has its appeal. (BJ Bentley) Kocke Cop, where catching your dream girl involves catching a bullet. (Paula-Michelle Trotter) Kocke CEO, where one man’s online dating profile swipes him for a whole lot more than he bargained for. (Dr. Rebecca Sharp) *These stories are light-hearted, light reading and were written in tribute to the events of #cockygate in an attempt to fight with light.

239 pages, Paperback

[Cait's Creatures · Rating 5 out of 5]

First of all... check out that author collection!! That's crazy! BJ Bentley and Rebecca Sharp are just two of my go-to authors when I need a good book. I know they will always deliver. Danica Dawn is a new author, but I'm so looking forward to her work (especially after reading Kocke Professor!). Paula-Michelle Trotter is a new-to-me author... but after reading Kocke Cop, I'm gonna need more. Just sayin'. 

So this collection (that really is badass) came together to write an anthology to fight back against #cockygate (and did I hear right? The TM has been dropped?!). Now, I know what you're thinking... "Cait, another anthology? Is it worth it?" GIRL/GUY/WHATEVER you need this.



Kocke Professor isn't the usual taboo romance either. It's steamy, with an alpha male (I mean-they're all alpha but I'm down with it) that's been obsessing over his student. His student, Demetria, has been secretly crushing on the professor that bogs her down with homework. However... there's a twist that made my heart break and made me go "OMG". It was unexpected, in all the best ways. 

Kocke Lawyer was a BJ classic. Funny, sexy, with a little angst to keep that page on your kindle flipping until you're drooling for more! Kevin and Dani are two forces to be reckoned with, in and out of the bedroom. Together, they make a powerhouse couple that makes you want a full length novel. AND AND AND she adds in some cocky drama ;). 

Kocke Cop had a weird beginning, and made you kind of want to punch Kaden in the face. His arrogance beat out even Killian's. His friends-with-benefits, Candy, is his perfect girl... except he doesn't do relationships. He's fine with his single life, and with annoying Candy with her nick name... until something happens that causes both to say their true feelings. Add in some crazy into the mix, and you've got yourself a BANGING novella. 



Now... Kocke CEO is the last of the bunch... and Rebecca DE-LIV-ERS on her alpha-hole (she really does them oh-so-well). But in true Kocke/badass collection/Rebecca form, the twists in this novella are all over the place. And GUUUUUUURRLLLL when they finally fall into bed together, it's totally worth it. (Finally- it's a freaking novella Cait!)

My absolute favorite thing in this novella is that each one of these heroines is smart, capable, and not falling over their feet to impress the guy. They're not belittling themselves, or weak in any way. They are strong, independent women, falling for men that are cocky and sure of themselves. Even in the short pages of the novella, you can tell these women bring their men to their knees, making them better men. 

BASICALLY I LOVED IT AND YOU SHOULD GET IT BYE.

You know what the perfect summer read is? Something hot, spicy, naughty and easy to breeze through. That's exactly what the Kocke Chronicles is. 4 brothers with the last name Kocke. 4 authors with different writing styles and points of view. It's an incredible blend to create the perfect steamy, adults only bedtime story.

Story Line: These chronicles follow the lives of 4 delicious men - Kaleb, Kevin, Kaden and Killian. Professions.Lawyers. Police Officers. CEOs. Literally any hot profession you can think of? They are it.

Kaleb's love story involves a student but their backstory isn't the typical. In fact, it was one of the most unique situations I have ever read about. I loved how non-predictable it was.

Kevin is a lawyer who ends up falling for his new assistant. This story had some of the sexiest laundry scenes in it, but I expected nothing less from BJ Bentley. I loved getting a little back story on the family these alpha men come from. And the angst and build up was spectacular.

Kaden is a cop. And who doesn't love smoking hot man in uniform? Kaden knows he's good looking. He says he's a lady's man, but the woman's bed he's in most often knows better than that. Candy keeps his ego in check and I so envy her confidence.

Killian may have been my favorite of all. First of all, hello hottest name ever. Second of all, holy angst batman. And that pen scene? Excuse me while I go fan myself.

The bottom line is this - these stories are quick reads but lacking absolutely nothing. They give us a quick glimpse into the lives of some seriously steamy alpha men and the women who have won them over. I ate up these words so fast because I literally could not get enough of the characters. I definitely wouldn't mind a Kocke Chronicles Part 2. Hint Hint, ladies ;)

A professor, a lawyer, a cop and a CEO. This is how four authors tell the stories of the four Kocke men in 'The Kocke Chronicles.' The lead piece, Danica Dawn's Kocke professor story sets the collection's tone by showing the conflict between wanting a sense of independence and the irresistible pull of lust.

BJ Bentley takes off with Dawn's tone really well by bouncing between Dani (the new secretary) and Kevin (the Kocke lawyer) with believable insight and tension in both the male and female characters.

From there, Paula Trotter takes off with the character of Kaden Kocke, LA's 'hero cop' who initially comes off as a real chauvinist jerk - until the woman we assume just his booty call shows us otherwise. The story takes a surprise twist and Candice shows her true loyalty.

Dr. Rebecca Sharp's closing piece starts off the way all good stories should begin: with an epicly clever line that made me want to keep reading, and does a nice job of tying all four characters together.

Dr. Rebecca Sharp's closing story begins with the kind of epic line that all good stories should open with: the kind that grabs a reader immediately and makes them want to read right thru to the end. Sharp does a good job of entertaining on the way, and tying the whole collection together nicely.
