Today I’m excited to participate in the Blog Tour of ‘Arrogant Bastard’ by Jennifer Dawson. This is the second standalone novel in the Bastard series and shares Cat and Caden’s romance.
In December of last year I read the first book in the Bastard series ‘Cold Hearted Bastard’. I loved that book so much! So when I got the opportunity to read this next book, I got really excited and couldn’t wait to start reading.
From the moment I started reading ‘Arrogant Bastard’, I was hooked. Just as with the first book, I just loved the main characters and the setting. After meeting the older brother in the first book, we now get to read the story of Cat McKay. The youngest McKay sibling who is used to people disappointing her. When she meets the handsome Caden, she isn’t impressed by his looks but instantly dislikes him. Not because he is so unkind.. but simple because he is just so arrogant and pushes all her buttons. And.. because the chemistry between them simple can’t be denied.
I loved Cat when I first read about her in ‘Cold Hearted Bastard’, and I loved her even more in this book. Her character was one I could easily relate too. She just felt so real. She has learned the hard way, that people can leave without any notice.. and that’s why she shields herself from feeling to much. And who doesn’t get that? I sure do. I understood her reluctance to let Caden in. But I also kept hoping she would allow herself some happiness.
Caden character I didn’t like in the beginning at all. He is the kind of guy I would walk a mile around to be honest. He is so damn arrogant, and although I could easily feel their chemistry flying of the pages.. It took me while to really like Caden. But slowly on we get to see another side of Caden. And I must say I loved that side of him.
The romance between Cat and Caden was definitely very nice to read about. Their chemistry is intense and I loved how they both tried to deny their feelings. Their little banters where super fun to read and I simple enjoyed getting to know them better.
And above all I loved how we get to read a little bit about Jackson and Gwen, the McKay brother we read about in the first book. And I also got really curious about the last McKay brother Wyatt.
‘Arrogant Bastard’ was a very nice, sexy, romantic read I just read in a day. Simple because it was too good to stop.

Maybe my tactics are unorthodox, but they got the job done.
As she walks in front of me, my gaze slides over her light, golden brown hair, pulled off her neck in a messy ponytail, along the line of her neck, down the curve of her back and dip of her waist in a white tank top, to her perfect ass in tight, faded jeans.
She’s tiny. Tiny enough to put in all sorts of interesting positions. And her body is fan-fucking-tastic. But that’s not my real worry. Good bodies are a dime a dozen.
It’s her face that’s the real trouble.
Unusual steely gray eyes, high cheekbones, a lush mouth, set off perfectly by her peaches and cream skin. Individually, taken apart piece by piece, Cat McKay should be wholesome and pure looking, but put together, well that’s a different story.
She’s not exactly sexy… she’s more, I don’t know the word… but it’s something.
She has a vulnerability about her that makes me want to violate her.
Not that I will, because I’ve made the mistake of mixing business and pleasure a few times before and I’ve finally learned the lesson.
But if I’d met her in a bar, I’d take her home and do filthy things to her.
That skin is just made to be flushed.
All things I’m just going to have to ignore.
