The C*ck Down the Block

The Cocky Kingmans, Book 1

By: Amy Award

Narrated by: Stella Hunter, Christian Fox

Look, I've had it bad for the girl with all the curves next door forever. She turned me down in high school and since I'm not a total douchecanoe, I lusted after her all by myself in my shower, and we stayed just friends for years. Now she's the adorkable librarian next door, and I'm the star quarterback of the best pro football team in the league. So when she asks me to be her fake date to her all-girls school reunion, I am totally down to show her off to the mean girls who bullied her back then so they can see just how incredible she is.

I'll be the best boyfriend they've ever seen. The best fake boyfriend that is. Until I find out from her slightly-stalkery classmates that she still has her v-card. I don't see how that is even possible. Not with how sexy and sweet she is. Could it be because she knows she belongs with me?

This curvy-girl and football-quarterback sports romance has a baddie plus-size woman who knows her own worth and a Bridgertons-meets-American-Football family you'll wish you were a part of.

Humor in the face of struggle

I loved this book! As a fellow thicker woman who grew up in Colorado, the depiction of how larger bodies are treated is spot on. I adored both the FMC and MMC.

The narration was excellent and the voice acting provided depth and emotion that made the story more enjoyable.

I’m impressed that this author was able to a weave a story that has some uncomfortable topics, she made it easy to relate to and balanced with light hearted humor and fun spice.

Great 1st book in the series

While I hate waiting for each book to come out, both kings man books have been amazing! I wish this author had more books I could binge while waiting on the 3rd. She does such a good job with the curvy girl romance.

Laugh out loud romantic comedy

The story line was creative and empowering. You fell in love with the characters and felt emotions for their situations. highly recommend reading/listening to it because it is worth it.

Cute story!

Amy delivered a solid cute, fluff story here. There are no twists or anything for an upset, just a solid story about friendship, family and found love 💗
This takes a while for any spice to enter, but the author creates a realistic approach to childhood friends to lovers here.
I enjoyed reading the story and look forward to reading the next book.
Both narrator’s delivered a solid narrative and really get you into the story with their voices.
I do recommend reading and listening 💕

Awesome👏🏾

This is one of the cutest, hottest, most realistic curvy girl books I’ve read! It’s a lighter read which I appreciate after reading some of the darker romances. This story was witty, funny, and the angst was just right! People got in my nerves but the heroine and hero rocked it!


Narration was awesome! 👏🏾
