The Jack*ss in Class

The Cocky Kingmans, Book 5

De: Amy Award

Narrado por: J.F. Harding, Vanessa Vasquez

He’s the campus king with a no-girlfriends rule.
But he’s about to break it for the most irritating, sassy-mouthed woman he’s ever met.

Flynn Kingman’s senior year plan is simple: class, getting drafted in the first round, and no romantic complications. Until he chases a rogue baby donkey across campus and meets Tempest Navarro—the one woman immune to his charm.

Tempest Navarro is hiding her bestselling romance novels, anxiety, and a baby donkey in her sorority house. Nope, nothing to see here. Especially not for a jock that’s too hot for his own good. Why does he have to be in her Shakespeare class, saying smart things, and driving her insane?

When they’re forced together by a university tutoring program, verbal sparring turns to undeniable attraction. Especially when Tempest’s emotional support donkey, her meddling sisters, and a whole lot of Kingman siblings are all conspiring to push them together at every turn.

This steamy sports romance features a protective football player with hidden depths, a curvy heroine owning her talents and learning to take up space, an emotional support donkey with perfect timing, and that Bridgertons-meets-American-Football family that’ll make you wish you were a Kingman.

Great narrators

Flynn is one of the twins from the Kingsman brood. Tempest is a curvy, Latina good girl that goes to the same college. She’s standoffish, but he’s persistent. When a baby donkey is loose on campus they end up working together to take care of him. This one is cute, and spicy.

Applause for Amy Award!

Amazing book, I have been a huge fan of the series and this is another great addition. Love the direction this story takes and its build up for the next !

Maybe the best one yet!?

The cocky kingman series is my favorite romance series. The plus size FMC are all so relatable, their struggles are real, and the story they tell I find myself in. Tempest may be the one I relate to most, or maybe it’s just her finding her way to take up space. My whole heart loved her, and this story. Now I’m ready for the next one.

I need more

I love love this series and Amy’s books. I need more. Laughed, cry, great imagery, HEA!

The BEST Cocky Kingmans novel yet!

This is my FAVORITE installation of the Cocky Kingmans series.

Bearded football player? Check.
Curvy FMC? Check.
BIPOC FMC? Check.
Queer representation? Check.
The struggle of navigating the unrelenting pressure of societal and family pressures that oppress our ability to live authentically? Double check.

This book was so real. I’m bummed we had to wait so long for a BIPOC female protagonist, but Tempest Navarro was so worth the wait. She is my absolute favorite PAL of our beloved Kingmans.

5 stars across the board. Very well written fluff!

Loved It

I love the Kingmans. They are a family who sticks together. Finn & Tempest are a cute couple. Loved the story. Can’t wait for Griffin’s story.

Smut, Shakespeare, and a Stubborn Donkey

⭐️ 4.5/5 (Story) | ⭐️ 3/5 (Spice)

As a former lit major and full-time Shakespeare fangirl, I devoured this latest installment in the Cocky Kingsmen series. The Jackass in Class had me at “Shakespeare-inspired chaos” and kept me hooked with one of the quirkiest pet plotlines yet—a rogue donkey.

This time, we follow Flynn (one of the infamous twins), who literally chases a runaway donkey across campus and ends up crashing into Tempest—an effortlessly cool, quick-witted student with no time for a guy she assumes is just another jock. Except Flynn isn’t your typical himbo. He’s secretly brilliant, deeply kind, and more than happy to help her hide said donkey in her sorority house after the animal sanctuary where Tempest volunteers floods.

Tempest is a force—sassy, guarded, and hiding a massive secret: she’s a bestselling romance author with a Shakespearean pen name and a family full of intimidatingly accomplished women who she’s sure would never approve of her career. As their chemistry sparks and secrets unravel, Tempest is facing a life-changing movie deal, and Flynn’s on the brink of the NFL draft.

What I loved: the academic banter, the electric tension, the loud and loving chaos of both of their families (especially Tempest’s Abuela—iconic), and of course, the classic Kingsmen camaraderie that’s always the heart of this series. Tempest and Flynn are one of my favorite pairs so far.

What I didn’t love? Flynn calling Tempest “My Queen.” I get it, but… ick. Personal ick. Still, I’ll forgive it for the sheer serotonin this book delivered.

If you love found family, spicy romance, literary easter eggs, and a donkey with a wild streak—this one’s a winner. Light, fast-paced, and full of heart.

Loved

Such a cute story! They just get better and better! Love these brothers! Cant wait to see who’s next 🤍

My favorite book of the series 😍

I absolutely loved this book. I cried I laughed, I cried some more. I don't know if it's because a Latina being in there. And hearing them speak Spanish, and that accent just brought me back to my roots. I love it!! Can this be a movie please? more Kingmans books, please. There's a few brothers left in the sister and oh my god, the dad, that would be amazing 🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍

Delightfully sweet

I really like this book. It was so funny and super sweet and I love the cultural references to the character being a cute curvy Hispanic lady. He really is the best boyfriend and is very sweet to her. Totally recommend this book.You are allowed to take up space.🥰🥰🥰🥰
