If you are looking for a great and fast romantic read then look no further than Cop An Attitude by Hilary Grossman. This is the first book that I have read by this author and it definitely won’t be the last. I couldn’t put it down, it grabbed me from the very first page. The author named this story perfectly, because both main characters have a bit of an attitude problem with each other for most of the story. I loved Waverly and Pete’s characters so much. Their interactions were extremely entertaining, and had me laughing out loud a couple of times. They were both a bit juvenile at times, but nobody is perfect and it made them more relatable because of their imperfections. Will they be able to put the past behind them and give them a chance at a future together? Read Cop An Attitude to find out. This is the first in a new series by Hilary Grossman and I can’t wait to read the next one in the series. I highly recommend this story to any romance lover out there.

Excellent book! It captured my interest from the first page and I couldn't put it down! I finished it in a day and can't wait for the sequel!

A rom com that I enjoyed. Who would have thought that a rom com with a cop as the hero would be this funny. But it was and his daughter which just so adorable. I’m looking forward to next book in the series. And more books by the author.

This is a cute, quick read. The premise was good. The characters were frustrating and I wasn't a fan of Pete. The side characters were the big redeemers of the book. I still was doing okay until the end. That pretty much blew it for me. Especially when I read the blurb for the next book.

I just finished a sweet love story by Hilary Grossman and it was Cop an Attitude. If you are looking for a cute book that will take you away from the normal grind and give you something else to think about, this book will do the trick. If you read Forest River PTA Mom’s Series by this author and enjoyed the fun, hang on because you will recognize at least one character returning to this series. This is the first book in the I Can’t Stop Loving You Story series. 

I read Cop an Attitude when it was a novella in an anthology by several authors. I wrote to Ms. Grossman and expressed how much I enjoyed the novella and wished she would expand it into a novel. I wasn’t quite ready for the book to end. Well, it turns out I was not the only one to encourage her to do that and she indeed turned her novella into a full length novel. She has seamlessly inserted Peter’s side of the story. It was not choppy at all and the writing flowed effortlessly. I have to say if I read this novel first, I would never have known about it earlier life.

This is a love/hate relationship between a man and woman that actually knew each other in elementary school. As most of us do, they went their separate ways after graduation from High School. They meet again as adults. He is a police officer and she is a hard working woman coming home from the office late at night. He stops her and detains her for an extended time and as you can guess their relationship is off to a rocky start. I loved the attraction they had for one another and kept hoping someone would get it together. 

This book is not a serious book and I don’t think it was meant to be. It was created to bring a little joy into our hectic lives and give us something different than the same old grind to think about for a while. Waverly and Pete’s relationship is fun and I’m looking forward to where this series is headed next. Cop a Plea is the next book to be released on July 25th (maybe earlier). I don’t know about you but, I’m looking forward to reading more of this series!

I didn't enjoy this book nor did I finish it. The storyline sounded like something that was right up my alley but it just wasn't IT for me.

I received this book as an ARC from netgalley.
This was just ok for me. It started off promising but then got really redundant. I didn’t like waverly as a person and I just wasn’t feeling the romance at all. All opinions are my own.

Speedy reading. I didn't see much of the highs and lows so it was kind of flat for majority of the story but it doesn't mean it wasn't interesting. I am definitely interested in more of the series.

This was a cute book, but really lacked a major conflict or character development (but maybe that will happen in book 2). I was also turned off by the amount of exclamation points in the text conversations, it felt immature for 38 year olds? I thought the title and cover were clever and it made me interested in reading this book. Thank you NetGalley and Xpresso Book Tours for the ARC.

A cute read fast read

A fun weekend read that starts off as my all time favorite enemies to lovers, with a bully meeting back up with the kid she made school life awful. He remembers her but she doesn't remember him. It was a light hearted read, confusing at time between their feelings/ the way Pete and Waverly acted with each other. I loved some interactions and some where just too high school for me, especially since the characters were in their 30's, now if they were in their 20's I could see this.

First, I want to say this was a quick read. It almost felt like it was a Novella, and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t supposed to be. Anywho, I liked the initial premise of the story because it had potential, but that was short lived. This story ended up feeling very disjointed to me. It started off fun, but then got silly really FAST (like the situation with the neighbor lodging complaints).

I did like Pete ENNIS 👀😂, but honestly him and Waverly acted like they were in High School most of the time. They came off like bickering children, more than anything else. Waverly got on my nerves pretty quickly. She was completely self absorbed, superficial and all she cared about was how others viewed her. She’s ‘that girl’ that constantly reminds you what a hard worker she is and somehow that magical erases all her bad personality flaws 🙈 The girl had serious anger issues as well, and that was the least of her problems.

I love a good enemies to lovers trope, but immaturity levels where off the charts with these two. I kept having to remind myself these were adult characters. I’m definitely disappointed because right when it seemed like we were getting somewhere (past the childish behavior) the book abruptly ended. They went from hating each other, too kissing, and in love all in one page. I watched this book fall straight off a cliff at full speed. I honestly checked my kindle thinking I was missing the second part of the book, that’s how steep the cliff was that this fell off of 😂 The ending was so rushed and didn’t match the pace of the beginning at all, not even close. It just didn’t work for me. I honestly believe I would have enjoyed this story so much more if the ending wasn’t crazy rushed out like that. Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

*ARC given for an honest review*
Thank you Net Galley and Hilary Grossman for giving me the ARC of this book!

First i want to say that it was a really cute read, I really liked it so much
I particularly loved the enemies to lovers - single parent tropes, they always go so well together in my opinion.

I enjoyed Waverly and Pete’s story very much, there was this love-hate relationship that made me laugh and also made me upset. They were both really cute.
(Clara was adorable 🥺)

the reason why I only gave this book 3 stars instead of 5:
I wish it was longerrrrr 😭 it was a very cute but quick read :( I felt like their story could’ve been more developed.
And also the fact that it was a tiny bit too rushed at the end for me.

Overall, I will obviously be continuing the series because I still enjoyed it so so much <3

It starts relatively slow for my liking. And I have to say even if it’s categorised as romantic comedy I think it’s just simple contemporary romance, as I didn’t find lots of laugh out loud moments.
The H has a grudge against h since they had some history together but she doesn’t remember him. He’s a widower with a daughter who’s had his share of pain. She’s a sensitive woman with guilt issues.
It’s a clean romance that’s starts with an enemies to friends/ lovers trope.
For a quick read, it’s not a bad option.

I would like to start by thanking NetGalley and Hilary Grossman for the ARC of “Cop an Attitude.”

“Cop an Attitude” was a fun, flirty, fast read! It follows the story of two adults in their 30’s, Pete and Waverly, as they try to navigate a relationship after having somewhat of a problematic past.

The beginning of this book was somewhat on the slower side, but as we got to see more of Waverly and Pete’s personality, it seemed to pick-up pace!

When I finished reading “Cop an Attitude,” I was a little upset with how it ended. I felt like we didn’t get to see as much of Waverly and Pete’s new family dynamic! The ending kind of felt rushed. BUT…….I was super excited to hear that there is a sequel “Cop a Plea,” and I am pumped to read it! I can’t wait to get to see more of the inner workings of the Ennis family!

I haven’t read any of Grossman’s past work, so I was thrilled to read this! “Cop an Attitude,” is perfect for readers who aren’t super into spicy books, this is definitely more of a fade-to-black read. CAA is also a dual POV, which automatically makes any book better! Grossman did a great job digging into her two MCs and making their personalities very relatable! I also loved how her side characters were very well rounded! Every character has so much detail and thought put into it every single character! I especially loved Sydney!

“Cop an Attitude” comes out February 17, 2022!

Love, @raebooks_

In my opinion, calling this a romantic comedy is a little misleading because it didn't feel like one at all. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of this one. It simply felt like there was a lot of back and forth all the time. They can both be irritating at times. I wished things had moved a little faster. I didn't like it when Waverly kissed the husband of one of her friends just to make Pete jealous. Waverly and Pete had a weird relationship. They seemed to like one other one minute and not the next. They may have known each other since they were kids, but they have no sense of who they are today, yet they rush into a relationship anyhow.

This ARC was provided to me via Kindle, Hilary Grossman and by #NetGalley. Opinions expressed are completely my own.

Fast-paced, fun, quirky rom-com.

**Thank you to Net Galley for gifting me an eARC of this book. Here is my honest review.**

When I first started this book, I wasn’t too sure how I was feeling. Waverly is very headstrong, outspoken and opinionated. Especially when provoked, and Pete definitely did that.

As their story unfolded, I found it interesting to learn they had known each other as kids.
Their attraction to one another was obvious in the ways they interacted with each other. She couldn’t help but hate him yet think of him often and find him hot. Pete figured out who she was straight away and fondly adored her alone until she realized.

There were funny moments in this story, from her hurting herself and their banter and wit towards one another, but there was also the trauma each of them had been dealt with during their lives.
I enjoyed their connection and how easily they could divulge their hardships to one another, and how they couldn’t with anyone else.
It was also hard seeing them both put up walls around themselves, even though they wanted to fully let themselves go to the other, a part of them kept them out.
In the end, their story was cute, and I loved how they all came together with his daughter. It was very sweet.

If you like an enemy-to-lovers trope coupled with a hot cop, then this story is for you!

Thank you @NetGalley and Hilary Grossman for the ARC of Cop an Attitude.

This is a fast read of a teeter totter, fade to black love story.

Waverly has grown as a person since her elementary teasing days. She has suffered trauma and is a work-o-holic. Enter good looking cop on the scene and Waverly's world begins to change.

This was a 3/5 read for me.

I enjoyed learning about the characters personal traumas and grief. I thought there could have been more character development for Pete, the cop. in regard to his siblings and parents. I didn't get a good handle on his mom. I felt she was caring in some parts of the book and then regarded as a Karen in other parts of the book, and that those two sides never came together. I was a little frustrated with how long it took to get to the HEA. I wish the relationship would have bloomed sooner and the ending given more depth: i.e. Clara and Waverly's relationship, given more spice to the romance of the MCs. seen more of Charles and Waverly. The overbearing neighbor had to much page time, and it was repetitive to read her scenes. Overall, I enjoyed this read and would recommend. The 3/5 rating is due to being mildly annoyed at parts and wishing it wasn't all fade to black which is a personal preference as the reader not an objective criticism.

**Thank you NetGalley and Xpresso Book Tours for a copy of this ARC. This is my honest review.**

Cop An Attitude is a very quick read. Admittedly, I didn't love nor hate this book. It follows two 38-year olds who had a history from their childhood that was less than ideal that meet again as adults and have to navigate feelings for each other, concerns over past behaviour and face their own traumas. Whilst that sounds quite heavy, the book is written to be more light-hearted and funny, which is probably why I didn't quite enjoy this. I often found the actions of both Waverly and Pete (Waverly especially) to be far too petty and childish for their age and had a difficult time placing them in my mind whilst reading. For some time, I could only depict college-aged people and was surprised when their age came to light. I also couldn't understand how deeply they fell for the other when most of the book is written about them struggling with said feelings without really any building scenes that helped those feelings grow.

I did enjoy the side characters, especially Sydney, who remained a grounding force for Waverly throughout this book. Some moments were quite funny as well, whilst others felt a little too unrealistic for me given their stages in life. I'm a mid-30s person myself, so I was initially eager for some age representation in novels that I don't normally come across. It didn't quite deliver. The romance was clean, and again, could have done with a little more attention to help the feelings they developed feel real.

Overall, it was a good attempt by the author, and I could see the potential of the world Hilary Grossman created.

Fast-paced and enjoyable!

When Waverley gets pulled over by a cop, Pete, on the way home from work late one night, she is annoyed and mouthy, and ultimately doesn’t recognise him.

Unfortunately for her, her attitude and his memories of her at school means that she earns herself a couple of tickets.

And then they just keep running into each other, each one giving the other a hard time. And yet, they can’t deny the spark between them. But both have a past that can’t easily be forgotten and Pete’s daughter adds to the complication!

This is a fast-paced, easy reading Romcom. I would have read it in one sitting had I not started late one evening.

The characters are believable, the storyline slightly predictable, but I enjoyed the build-up to the moment Waverly realised who Pete was and how he had known who she was all along, as well as the will they/won’t they get together element.

It was also nice that the lead female was in a high ranking IT position, working alongside a female CFO!

Overall, an enjoyable read and I would recommend
