I fell in love with Jimmy!! He is definitely the man.

Jimmy and Jolene have amazing chemistry Now let me say that Jolene has sworn off pilots ( she is a flight attendant) and of course Jimmy is a pilot, but what happened next is just pure joy, The next time this two come together is on a flight to Greece that of course Jimmy is flying, I love the spark and banter between this two.
Now Jimmy needs a favor, for Jolene to be his fake girlfriend, what can really go wrong? Jolene is not getting involved with Jimmy but a fake relationship she can do, right?

This was an amazing addition to the Cocky world. I definitely enjoyed it.

am really enjoying all of the Cocky Hero Club stories and meeting new to me authors like Gail Harris. Jolene and Jimmy leap off the pages, not just the attraction but their thoughts are feelings are so real. What starts out as pretend quickly morphs into long looks and swoony romance and who can blame them, with them being in beautiful Greece. From the beginning Jo and Jim have a spark, but it is the desire to spark that will get them through. Chapter 17 OMG, I was snort/laughing/crying. That right there was literary "gold" for me. Super cute, very enjoyable.

I'm not a reviewer that hashes out the plot, if you're reading the reviews you know what it's about. I'll tell you what I look for in a review - what I liked (and didn't) about the book. I loved this book. The characters are well developed, they interactions are engaging and entertaining. The story drew me in and I was rooting for a happily ever after. I'll be reading the rest of Gail Harris's books.

Arrogant Arrival is another fantastic read by Gail Haris. I don’t think she has written anything I didn’t like. This book is such a fun read. This couple is sizzling, with witty banter and combustible chemistry. I loved this book and thought it ended too soon. This book is a must read!

It took me a few chapters to get into this book but once I did, it was so so worth it! I had read gail Harris randall series and loved it so I knew I would love this too, definitely 5 star worthy!!

Let's get something straight. I think we can all "guess" what this book is going to look like inside. We can probably also "predict" the ending. But don't think, just read. Because although we might be right, it's the journey that's worth each and every page turned.

Jolene is a flight attendant who's had the worse luck with pilots. Hooking up every now and again on a layover with your pilot is one thing, but sometimes it looked like something was going to come out of it realizing you're horribly wrong. The only thing to do now is write off pilots altogether..forever...right? This shouldn't be a problem.

Jim is a Greek God who, at a young age, has a career that's been great for him. A private pilot, making his own schedule and rules. But when his flight is cancelled, he can't help but intervene in a certain flight attendants personal life. After vowing to make her forget all about her problems, he may have caused a major one for himself. Will he ever be able to solve this one?

What could be more romantic than faking a relationship with a Greek God, in Greece, the most romantic place on earth? Nothing. But when the faking starts to feel different, what happens next? Do you ignore or reward the heart? Sometimes 'A Little Less Conversation' will leave you 'All Shook Up'.

Oh, this was funny but sexy and passionate and intense at times. I had a hard time not falling for Jim myself and couldn't help but swoon just like Jolene. The story flows well and I found myself practically reading it in one sitting.

I really liked this book because Jimmy wasn't rich and arrogant he was a pilot and cocky but in a nice way, he met Jolene by eavesdropping on her rant against men and now Jimmy was going to set the record straight. It was quirky and Jimmy's mother and grandmother were like a breath of fresh air as finding a bride is their mission. Fab read. I voluntarily reviewed this book.

This romance is super cute. I fell in love with Jimmy & Greece way before Jolene admitted that she had, too.

Jolene is trying to steer clear of pilots in the hope that that her romantic life can finally go the way she wants. Yet, when she finds a man she thinks she can hope for more than one night with, he turns out to be of the same profession she's sworn off. She calls it quits, but has fate decided to help change her mind?

Jimmy isn't looking for love - quite the opposite, but meeting Jolene has changed his mind in a big way. But she's running scared, and he isn't sure that he could change her mind. Then he sees her again, and realises that he's been missing her all this time. Will he be man enough to figure things out before it's too late?

I loved the way the author wove the story, and I actually added Greece to my travel list. I really enjoyed the secondary characters, too, especially the Greek ones.

I recommend this read.

I voluntarily read & reviewed an ARC of this book.

I thought this book is good. Not the best I have read in the past few months but it was good enough and entertaining enough to keep me reading.

I did like the author's writing but I think I am just tired of these kinds of romance books.

What freaking awesomeness is this?! Gail Harris has written the hell out of this book!

What happens when Jolene, a flight attendant, who has fallen for the wrong pilot too many times; and Jimmy, the pilot, who is a free spirit who hasn’t ever wanted to settle down, meet? Fireworks... instant chemistry.. and things that will make you laugh out loud as you read them.

I read this book on the day/night my daughter was giving birth to our first grand-baby. I needed some distraction and so I jumped into Jolene and Jimmy’s world. I absolutely loved this book. I had to stifle laughter a few times.. it being the middle of the night and all...at one point... when you read it, you’ll know where... I was shaking because I was laughing so hard!

This was a story of how great love can be, how it happens when you least expect it, and how you have to be ready to reach out and grab it when it arrives!! I recommend this book for everyone! It is such a great read!

Jolene is over the dating game. She's gotten her heart broken one to many times by jerk pilots. When a man takes a seat at her table trying to get her to smile well she's over that too. What she doesn't realize is Jolene and Jim are about to be stuck together and well it's a doozy for sure. The attraction is real, but she has no idea that Jim is actually a pilot and when she finds out all heck will break loose. Can Jim show her the real him, the him that can treat her like the women she deserves to be treated? Will Jolene finally take a step back and see what's right in front of her. These two are adorable and their love and lust will leaving you wanting more.

Arrogant Arrival is the latest installment in the Cocky Heroes Club series. Jolene and Dimitrios are amazing in this book. Jolene's a flight attendant who's sworn off Pilots. But when Dimitrios flies into her life, this will either be a happily ever after or a Greek tragedy. It was hard not to love these two. Their story was beautifully written and I can't wait for more.

This is another great addition to this amazing series and is Jolene and Dimitrios / Jim’s story. Jolene is a flight attendant who has sworn off pilots, and after meeting after meeting an intriguing and arrogant Greek called Jim, they spend a steamy night together, only to find out that he is a contract pilot. When Jim needs her help, she agrees to being in a fake relationship with him. This is a well written story which is humorous, steamy and with witty banter, which all had me totally hooked and captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this author whose work I recommend for all.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and won’t be my last. What a fun read, I loved Jimmy and Joelle. Joelle is unlucky in the guy department and has had it with dating pilots. Jimmy is cocky, confident and knows what he wants and goes for it. There is a spark between them and it’s all going great until that moment when it all shatters. Jimmy is the one thing she’s trying to avoid and he lied to her, but there’s something about Jo he can’t get past and wants a chance to prove he’s not like the others.

Will Jo give him a chance? Can these two get past their own insecurities to see what’s in front of them before it’s too late? Amazing read and I’m so happy I received a copy of this book to read.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!
Well I almost finished this WONDERFUL BOOK in a day but then I had to go to bed last night. So there's that. BUT now I finished it (a day later after work) and can't tell you enough HOW MUCH I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED THIS STORY!
OMG! I can't even explain all my feelings right now! I LOVE IT when something like that happens! It's a certain kind of feeling - like being in love or this excitement because your birthday is almost there! You know what I mean? This book made me sooooo happy!
I ABSOLUTELY DEVOURED IT!
Yes, I devoured it right from the beginning and got addicted that it was really tough to stop myself! I couldn't stop thinking about those characters and needed to know what'll happen next!
So... Arrogant Arrival is the wooonderful love story of Jo and Jim. When Jo swears off pilots she meets Jim. Oops, and Jim is a contractpilot but she doesn't know at first. So what'll happen with them? Can Jo really turn down this arrogant Greek God? You should find out for yourself! ;)
Well let's say that Jo and Jim totally had this really special connection! God their chemistry was palpable!! I got goose bumps when they had good times together! And I loved their witty banter as well! I laughed so much!
Jo is such a strong, sassy and self-confident woman and Jim (Dimitrios - OMG just say it a few times. Doesn't it sound sexy as hell?! 😍 *swoon*) is the perfect pendant to her! WONDERFUL!
OMG and now that I finished this awesome book I wanna visit Greece to find a hot Greek guy too! LOL Thank you very much!
Well besides all the laughter, it got really HOT and also kinda dramatic! I loved the combination of it all and totally got specific pics of the Greek family etc. in my mind. Haha.

Sooooo: all in all I definitely found a new author and can't wait to read more of the Cocky Hero Club and Gail Haris.

Thanks to The Next Step PR and Gail Haris for this ARC via Netgalley.

ARC Review

Jolene(Jo) swore off dating pilots after another one dumped her.
Jimmy is a self-employed pilot.
While waiting for their flights, they get to know each other and when they find out their flights were cancelled, they end up in the same hotel room.
They have an amazing night, but everything changes when Jo finds out who he really is.

But it doesn’t take long for them to meet again. This time Jimmy asks her for a favour that she is sceptical about, but decides to go for it.

I really liked this book, it was funny, cute and I love they way the author portrayed Jo and Jimmy’s relationship.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

"All I can say is wouldn't that be a very arrogant arrival?" And he replies, "I prefer confident". Jolene has sworn off dating pilots after being used and dumped only to run into a dark haired, blue eyed sexy Greek named Jimmy who unbeknownst to her is also a pilot. After hearing Jolene's story about pilots he isn't about to tell her she just spent the night with another pilot, but his cover is blown and she is furious and never wants to see him again. Both Jolene and Jimmy end up on a flight to Greece and then the fun begins. This was an easy, fun read with giggles and laughter, I through My enjoyed reading this story.

“I was never that girl. I was never that special someone. Is it so wrong to want to be her? To be the one for someone? That’s not asking a lot, is it?”

I just loved this quick read. It’s a perfect escape from reality. You get carried away on this European romance. It’s witty, heartbreaking, romantic, steamy and swoon worthy.

“I’ve seen her fire. Now I’m ready to see if I can feel her heat and get burned in the best way by her.”

When you aren’t looking for something...it usually finds you. When you are looking for something...you have a hard time finding it. Sometimes you need to let your guard down and just ride out the adventure and opportunities you are afforded.

“We’re literally running in two different directions, yet still colliding into each other. I’m terrified that he’s going to take my heart and keep running.”

This was THE MOST romantic love story I think I have ever read! I can’t tell you when it happened but I had suddenly fallen fast and hard in love with Jolene and Jimmy. This had all the warm fuzzy feelings along with many hot moments that continued to overflow throughout.

One night stand turned fake girlfriend. The storyline is unique which I loved! Not another Hallmark Movie replica.
This was such an awesome RomCom with our Arrogant Greek God Jimmy. There was nothing about him that I didn’t love.
And the attention to detail for the scenery in Greece was absolutely amazing. The “view” the author gives us completely breathtaking. Greece, you now have a new fan and have been added to my bucket list!

It has been a long time since I found a book that I couldn’t stop thinking about after reading. As I had to stop during the story due to adult responsibilities, I couldn’t stop thinking about the characters. What had happened, what may happen next. Constantly daydreaming.

This was my first book of the Cocky Hero Club. To be honest, I wasn’t really drawn to this world but after reading this one? I’m now wanting to pick up the others.
Just amazing!
