I certainly would recommend this book. It is an easy read and a nice, enjoyable story. I was rooting for the good guys, and cursing the antagonist. Of course there are a couple steamy pages thrown into the mix too. I'm all about good, complete endings to stories and this definitely had a nice one.

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Camdan is trying to keep his image clean and was assigned a publicist to join in on his press junket. Only problem is Kate is unlike any publicist he has ever had and he wants to get close to her. Monet takes us for a ride in the life of Hollywood elite as the story travels to Canada, Japan, China, UK, and Italy. Well rounded characters and a great look into the life of Hollywood stars.

This was a good read for me. The writing flowed well, and I thought the characters were developed nicely. Cam and Kate were great together, and their chemistry was hot! I enjoyed the secondary characters for the most part. Lizzy was great, even though she was a little scatterbrained at times. Amber ended up redeeming herself in my eyes, but James was pretty much a hanger on. There were so many times that I wanted to shake Kate and tell her she was being silly. She had her reasons to be cautious, but she took that to the extreme. She never wanted to believe the best in Cam, even though he proved himself to her. I was happy to see Cam be able to reconnect with his family, although I'm not sure I would have been able to forgive the things that happened. The ending was perfect for these two. I would love to find out what happens with Matt and Lizzy!

Camden Atwood is your stereotypical Hollywood star. He overindulges in women and partying. He’s used to getting what he wants whenever he wants without putting much, if any, effort into it.
“As of late, bars had become a bit of a pussy buffet for me. I’d pick out a woman I wanted to fuck, approach her, order a bottle of something expensive with two glasses, and seal the deal.”

Kate Prescott has been a PR assistant to Evelyn, a very well-known Hollywood PR agent, for the last 3 years. She is independent, speaks her mind and takes no crap.

Cam meets Kate when she accompanies Evelyn on a trip to his house. He is attracted and intrigued. He manipulates it so Kate has to go on his overseas press junket for his current movie. Instead of falling into his arms easily, she makes him work for it. Kate is attracted but isn’t willing to jeopardize her career, or self-respect, for a manwhore. As their relationship evolves, he becomes this man:
“Kate, I want to be the man who knows all of those seemingly inconsequential things about you- and I want to be the only one who does. Because all of the little things that make you up, make you the most beautiful person in the world to me.”
I went from disliking Cam to respecting all the thought and effort he put into chasing Kate. They go through their share of problems to get their HEA. They have fun, eventually some steamy sex, and work it out.

Amber is one of Cam’s playthings. She is out for a good time and what she can net from it. I thought it was really weird how Cam continued to keep her around and Kate didn’t seem to mind either. I get that she sorta redeems herself eventually, but still a strange situation. If it were me, she would have been gone immediately. No ifs, ands or buts.

Manwhores generally rub me the wrong way, as Cam did in the beginning. Why must they all be manwhores? I did enjoy watching Cam evolve into a decent human being while wooing Kate.

Loved the Veruca Salt reference!!

One thing that did bother me. Kate is American. Cam is British. While it felt perfectly normal for him to call her love, it really bugged me when part way through the book she began using it as he did. I was like, did she become British all of a sudden? It didn’t feel right. Just my opinion of course.

This is the first book I have read by Sabrina Monet and it won’t be the last, Cock Blocked was a brilliant introduction to a new author. This book is slow burn type of read it gives you time to get to know the characters and everyone of them had a unique reason for being in the story.
Kate is a publicist assigned to Cam a Hollywood Star who is the man every girl wants to get to know, everyone except Kate because Cam is the sort of man she stays away from, she has no interest in the man who is never going to settle down but that doesn’t stop Cam doing his best to make her change her mind about him whilst on a publicity tour that they both need to be on. The more time they spend together the more Cam wears Kate down but if she gives in will she lose everything she has worked for and more importantly would she lose her heart.......
This was a brilliant read and I urge you all to one click, I certainly can’t wait for more from Sabrina Monet.

Wow great read!! This is cam and Katie book, cam is a hot Brit and a big celebrity and definitely gets a bad rap! All I can say is don't believe everything you read in the gossip rags!! Katie is a high profile PR rep and gets assigned to represent can! Sparks fly right away but as I said cam gets a bad rap! This is definitely a very sexy hot read!! I couldn't put it down once I started!! The side characters were amazing also and I sure hope Lizzy cams sister and matt get a book! I'm pretty sure there's is next?! Fingers crossed!! Thank you netgalley and the author and publishers for sharing this book with me!! It truly is an amazing read!! Definitely don't miss out on this hot celebrity crush read!!

Cock Blocked is a romantic comedy that takes us around the globe with super-star Camden Atwood and his public relations adviser, Kate Prescott. The first chapter was arguably the best for me. I loved the chemistry between these characters from the onset. I laughed. I got angry at the characters. I smiled at their HEA. The story is rather predictable, but highly enjoyable. Great character development, too! I definitely recommend this book.

4.5⭐
Cock Blocked was a really enjoyable, engaging and entertaining debut novel.
That pulled me in from the start. As the storyline was believable and easily held my interest. Not to mention, the two main characters Cam and Kate were both charismatic, shared a spark and some banter too.
Plus, there was a nice mix of secondary characters. Some of whom were more likable than others and I'm certainly looking forward to reading more about them in the future.
And I would recommend this story to others. Especially if you like a slow burn romance. That has little angst, and a nice balance of sweet and sexy.

I loved the romance between Camden and Kate. They had a super steamy romance and I enjoyed all the side characters that were included. I liked Camden more than Kate, but they were cute together so I got over my annoyance at Kate. I'm looking forward to the next in the series, which I'm hoping is about Matt and Lizzie. This was a read I'd recommend!

I received a complimentary arc for review purposes.

I freaking LOVED this story.. It stars Camden, a bad boy, playboy and movie star. He has an entourage, best friend, and fuck buddy and they come along on the tour and they are the cock blockers in this story.

Kate is a baby publicist and gets assigned as Cam's PR person while he is on tour. I LOVED her and I loved her with Camden. They are a super cute, hot and fun couple. I truly loved every second of this fun romance and I want to read more from this author.

I really enjoyed this fun "will they won't they" romance. Camden is a movie star going out on his latest international press tour to promote the film and Kate is his publicist. Kate wants to do a good job and stay professional but Camden is hard to resist. Sweet hot romance

Cock Blocked was great! Camden is very cocky & thinks he is God's Gift to Women & doesn't know what to do when Kate pushes him away. Kate is there to work & doens't want to mess up a chance at a promotion. Camden isn't going to give up that easy though. I was hooked from the start & loved the banter between the two characters. I voluntarily read & reviewed an ARC for Netgalley.

I don't think Camden knows what to do with his woman, “of course. What girl doesn’t love a polite compliment?” she said with a gloriously naughty gleam in her eye, just before leaning in and whispering in my ear. “And I’m sure you won’t mind me telling you that those jeans are doing amazing things to showcase that very impressive package of yours tonight, as well.” Almost instantaneously, my cocktail was spewed all over the bar." Camden is his own man, "to be quite honest, I didn’t give a eff who saw me in here at this point. As far as I was concerned, I belonged with her, and she with me, and that was it." I really liked this book, I fell in love with Camden

I really enjoyed Cock Blocked. It was so easy to fall for Cam, and want to see him and Kate succeed. I loved that there were friendships forged among the romance as well. The situation with Kate's boss was so well done, and she got just what she deserved.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book, I really enjoyed it. So we meet Cam and I have to say at the first inset I was not crazy about him, he was another yup you guessed it a Manwhore. He was instantly attracted to Kate, and she was with him also but he is now her client and she does not want to seem unprofessional. Now I did want them to get together and I was rooting for them, the only thing that bothered me was when he was playing stupid with Amber trying to get her jealous, it was immature and it kind of bugged me that here is Kate a smart woman and that she would jump into bed with him, right after that I am mean ewwww, yeah no a self respecting woman would either wait or find out the truth. But besides that I loved and enjoyed everything else, loved Lizzy and Matt and the others, even Amber in the long run..Enjoy!
