Review: Slick Senator - #Cocky Hero Club - Mika Lane - June 2020 As I slowly make my way through the Cocky Hero Club books, some I am finding average whereas others are amazing. It also shows me that I now have to seriously read British Bedmate by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland as the two Cocky Hero Clubs that I have enjoyed the most have used that book as their starting point. As those who have read British Bedmate will know - the book features Bridget who falls in love with the sexy British doctor Simon and they have an amazing love for one another which shows in Slick Senator as the pair feature throughout as our main female character Cricket Curtain is best friends with Bridget.

I have to admit I think it would be fun writing the obits and I loved all the pre-emptive ones they had on hand too - what a clever idea...
