Yuck!

If i didn't like the family unity and spirituality of the cocker series i would not read anymore. This is awful practice and should not be shared. If that's makes me a prude so be it.

It is always awesome when Faleena sneaks in a new book for us. I have to admit I had serious reservations about this book. I am not really into throuples and lot type books. Give me a strong Hero and a sassy herione and I am at peace. So when I saw this I went in with a bias.

I am glad a read it. This book is funny and engaging. Anyone who read cocky Bestfriend will be familiar with Marion. And honestly will probably detest her. She is seriously a raging ******. However like all good reads you realize that Marion is complicated. Her entire world was focused on being her parents perfect child. With the demise of her parents' marriage and secrets coming to light her entire self worth and image is bound to dancing now.

Jack and Troy are truly the perfect man. They are dual sides of a coin that fit her perfectly. Jack is strong older and principled. Troy is younger sweet and caring. When the two come together they make the perfect team for Marion.

The story is funny and fast paced. I read it in one day and couldn't put it down. I actually stopped reading another book to finish this. Definitely worth reading even if you are not familiar with her back story.

I have read similar novels with the MFM plot and although not a huge fan I do enjoy from time to time. Unfortunately, Cocky Throuple is not one of them. Hated the character Marion and Jack was not much better. For a while, I thought Troy was going to be the saviour character but alas no. DNF.

I have a few other novels ticked as 'want to read' so I am going to give this author another try.

Cheers

Wow! Faleena knows how to write 'em. This book was a complete surprise and I was instantly intrigued by the title.

What a great love story, Jack was just super hot and Troy was also super hot. I loved how they both loved her so much and each other to a degree to step back for the other. But they were all meant to be together, and they're perfect together. I really can't wait for more.

Three is a perfect crowd!

As usual, I am blown away by the latest in the series. The characters are always like friends and family your just visiting with and being a part of their lives. Oh what a joy it would be to be Marion, what a hardship to be worshiped by Jack and Troy. It's all about how normal works for you!

MORE PLEASE!! Gimme gimme gimme!!

This is Cocky Throuple, book 22 of the Cocker Brothers series written by Faleena Hopkins. Well I didn’t think Ms Hopkins could make me like Marian, but... you will be cheering her on before you finish this book. And DAY..UM! What a lucky lucky lady she turns out to be! This book may be short in words but it’s full of the “feels”! Love it!

HOLY HOTNESS

Wow!! Just WOW! We met Marion and briefly Troy in Cocky Best Friend and I had hoped something was going on there. But dang.... I did not see Jack coming! This the second book by Faleena to center around a trio, see Owned By The Alphas for her 1st MFM - it's worth it. But back to Throuple! You get to see beyond what Marion displayed as a side... villianish role in Cocky Best Friend. She is still abrasive but now you get it. Then add in Jack and Troy two similar yet very different men who bring out the best of her. This book has it all! That 'redemption of who you once thought a villain finding love, the taboo dad's best friend, and the Throuple itself. Great read, you'll not want to put it down and be sad when you realize you finished the book.

As a huge fan of the cocker series already I couldn't wait to read this novella based in the side character "Marion" from cocky best friend. (You do not have to have read any previous cocky books to enjoy this one but I always recommend it).

I didn't like Marion from the beginning and to be honest I'm still not a fan of her as a person although this book explains why she is the way she is and gives a depth to her character. However that's life we don't always click with everyone in real life so why would we in fiction! Having said that I love the story line. It was a refreshing break from a traditional love story and although it's a 3 way relationship it has a different edge from your standard mfm plots.

Three in the hay together...hmmmm

Wow, I didn’t think I would be into this, because, well, I’m very monogamous and rather selfish so I don’t share. So putting someone else in the position where he has to share isn’t fair to me, but what do I know? I read it anyway, because I’m a Cocker Stalker, and I was curious. Guess what? It’s HOT. Ladies, imagine the best massage you ever got and add two extra hands...then toss in that they belong to two Uber-sexy guys that want to share the rest of themselves with you...yeah, thought you’d like that. It might not be my style or something I would consider, but reading about it is so fun! (I might not turn down the four handed massage, though) Can’t wait for the next book!

I loved this book. Not that I doubted it, but I love the Cocker family so much. This book was awesome. Marion is not an easy person to like, but as we get to know her and her history, you may not like her but you understand her. Jack and Troy just compliment each other. With Marion laid up with a broken leg, she needs help. Jack is her dad's best friend and the crush she has had forever. To help her and not get involved he assigns Troy to take care of her. Jack loves Marion. Troy fell in love with Marion, and now she wants them both. Great HEA tha works.

I thought it was good, but novella so not a lot of time on connecting characters. Not a situation for everyone. I could definitely see Troy engaging in a throuple, but Jack didn't see like the type to want to share. Also Marion is always leaning toward Jack first who is her first love. Even when they sleep she is tucked into Jack's neck and chest, poor Troy will get kicked to the curb soon. He should have walked away before his heart got fully invested. Some unanswered questions regarding relationship between Jack and David and then David and Marion and the new family.

Hot Throuple Jake😍

Wow Jake, Mar, & Troy, not together. Their lives scenes are my fantasies👍😄💟. Still not crazy about Mar and her attitude. But when Jake and Troy enters the picture...I 'm all in because together they are a combustible force to recon with. Cute short story. Just wish that there were more scenes with her and her father David. They still have a lot work out in their father, daughter relationship. I want to know what he thought about his only daughter living and living not just his best friend Jake, but Troy too!😲👍😯💟.

It's a holiday week and as is typical Faleena, she surprises us with a novella starring a Cocker Family side character. We met Marion in Cocky Best Friend and I'm not sure anyone liked her. With this novella, we see the reason Mar is the way she is. Jack and Troy are the perfect combination of what she needs. Together they can fulfill the emptiness in her life. There is no M/M in this novella. Just two men taking care of their ballerina.

The usual great book by this author. The anticipation between books is agonizing at times. Faleena has a way of making her books not only hot and steamy, she also puts a focus on family and diversity. Cocky Throuple explores the lives of Jack, Troy and Marion, all of whom love each other, but roadblocks are placed that they must overcome. Excellent story!

Biatchin' Book

My thoughts are all over the place :-) not exactly my cuppa tea, but an interesting ( and red hot) addition to the Cocker series. I've been a Faleena fan since well before the first Cocker book, and have read ( and reviewed) every one of them. I highly recommend the series.

I never read about a throuple before, and I was hesitant, but off course Faleena knocks it out of the park again. Sometimes you just need two guys to get everything you want.

Its SO hot, and it was nice to get to know Marion. And figure out why she treated people around her the way that she did in Cocky Best Friend. It's definitely a must read!

OMG, HOT!

I want Jack, I like Troy to and see him with Marion because of the age thing. I like Jack even more because he held out as long as he could, even though he place Troy as a blocker it kind of back fired but turn out fine later. I want Jack though he is NOT just my type, were can I find him? 💓👄👣💋❤ I'll read this again over and over just to keep him near. Sigh!

"No Spoilers" Wow! This is book 22 in the "Cocker" Series, so it's best to start at book 1 because books inter-twine.
I absolutely loved this book! It was super hot, funny, sexually tense and sweet and even though Mar wasn't liked by anyone (she appeared in book 21; "Cocky Best Friends), at least we know why now...I was happy for her!

Gotta love it

Wow!!! A throuple not my thing for real but in my fantasies it's highly probable lol...wondered what Marion's problem was because she really rubbed me up the wrong way but do understand...a little I think. Anyway, love Troy he's hot, caring and sexy. Love a man like him. Jack mmm good candy in small doses. Lucky Marion I say.

Not a fan of Marion, but sometimes characters are not exactly what we see in another book. They have their own storyline that makes us enjoy them in their own right. A super hot quick read, but the chemistry is off the charts & keeps you reading. Troy & Jack were the perfect combo for a misunderstood sassy Marion. Told in multiple POV.

I really enjoyed reading this novella. It's actually been sitting in my Kindle for a really long time and I was hesitant to read it because I didn't like the Marion character at all. Now I am regretting that I didn't read it sooner because I really liked the story. And I was excited to see that Jack, Troy and Marion got another story too (which I am reading right now).

This made me happy

I'm so glad the Mar got nher own hea!
When we met her in Sam's book she was mean, surly, and vicious. Turns out all she needs was a damn sexy man and a Viking to help her release tension!
Loved it!

Great addition to the Cocker Series💗

Great addition to the Cocker series! This certainly was a spicy and a different story line in the best way. I loved how this story is told about a complicated, unhappy and the not nice Marion. But through this story you get to understand. 📖💖

Faleena Hopkins has done it again. Throuples are not really my style, but I loved this one. Sexy tatted Jack and the deliciously yummy Troy, both working together to please Mar...yummmy xxx

Nice branch out

For it not being her main genera, this was a very good quick read. It added depth to a character I did not like from a past book. I appreciated that the relationships were handled well and did not fall into a gratuitous mess.

Loved this so much

I wondered about Marion after cocky best friends. I see the cranky dancer being high maintenance enough to need 2 men. Two very different men. Tastefully done and getting to know what drives ,(and why) not only Marion but Jack and Troy
