Title: Hard Work
Series: A Cook Brothers Novel
Author: BJ Harvey
Genre: Co-Worker, Unrequited Love, House Flipping RomCom
Release Date: January 30, 2020
Having watched his brothers meet their match, Cohen Cook is feeling something he never anticipated—envy.
With a demanding job, and helping his brothers with their biggest flip project yet, he doesn’t have time to sleep with, let alone date, anyone.
Skye Rossi is a free spirit. She’s a take-her-as-you-see-her woman who works hard and plays hard, but the person she wants to play with friend-zoned her the minute they met.
When sparks fly between Cohen and Skye, the only way forward is to propose a mutually beneficial arrangement that no one knows about.
Besides, what’s the harm in a few orgasms between best friends?
“This series just keeps getting better and better!”
“Fan-flipping-tastic that’s what this book is, holy mother of god do I love these Cook men.”
“It is basically the perfect romance.”
“This entire series is some of BJ Harvey's best work to date.”
“Do you think living in the same building and working together is going to be too much?”
“If I thought it would be, I wouldn’t have said yes when Jamie suggested it,” I say with a shrug. “It’s not like we don’t spend time outside of work together already.”
“But… not like this. You’re literally two flights of stairs away.”
“Do you have a problem with it? I didn’t exactly ask before springing it on you.”
“It’s fine. We’re fine. Everything is fine,” she rambles. “I’m just in one of my weird overthinking, worst-case-scenario, the-world-may-end-tomorrow kind of moods.” She waves her hand in the air. “Just run with it, keep me fed and watered, and tell me I look pretty.”
“You’re fucking gorgeous, Skye, and you know that.”
“Well, that’s a bit much, but I’m not gonna stop you.”
“It’s true. And to take it one step further,” I say, leaning in, the smell of her perfume more potent the closer I get, “when you walked into the station tonight, I had to turn around and walk away to stop from becoming the laughing stock of the station and earning a new nickname.” A salacious grin transforms her face.
“That bad, huh?”
“That good. It’s like you purposefully forgot to do up the top button of your shirt just to flash me the blue lace underneath.”
Her eyes dance with mischief, and without even asking, I know it was all for me. She taps her chin with her index finger. “Hmm, I wonder what name you could have had.”
“Egg white,” I say.
“Okay, that’s not what I expected. Why that?”
“Stiff when well beaten.”
Skye barks out a laugh, and I join her. “What about Cocked and Loaded?”
“Or just Cocked.”
“Quick Draw?” Her lips quirk up and said cock twitches to attention. How is it that I’ve been able to control myself around Skye during the past year, but since that kiss and Skye’s declaration that sex with me could just be sex—no complications needed—I can’t get her out of my head? The genie is out of the bottle, and that stubborn bastard refuses to go back inside.
“And I think that’s a sign we should change the subject.”

Hard Work is about the baby of the Cook family, namely Cohen and oh boy what a ride!!
I so fell in love with how caring that man is to those close to him!
The banter in this story is nothing short of wonderful and I just loved the beautiful bond between all the family and friends!
Cohen and Skye have the best work ethic and friendship but what happens when you decide to become intimate! Will there be consequences to this or will feelings come into play!
I really wish I could jump into this book and become friends with everyone! Too bad they are fictional....sigh!!
This was such a fantastic addition to the already amazing Cook Brothers Series! An extremely enjoyable read!
I have to say I love this series and I was so excited to be getting book 4 Cohen Cook’s story and let me tell you this story was everything I expected and so much more!!!
This is a series of stand-alone’s featuring the Cook Brothers, each book is about one of them finding that forever person normally when they least expect it and Cohen is no different, he wasn’t looking for love, he was enjoying life to the fullest but he suddenly realised he wanted more than friendship from Skye, but If they cross the line and act on their feelings will their friendship grow stronger and will they still enjoy working together or will the consequences of intimacy destroy their friendship.
If you are looking for a hilarious, heartfelt entertaining read look no further than Hard Work in fact look no further than the Cook Brothers Series. This book captivated me I was drawn in by the friendships and bonds this group share, I laughed with them, I cried with them and I found myself really feeling part of this tight nite group. I loved everything about this book, it ticked all my boxes so I recommend you do yourself a favour and one click this must read book.
What happens when you suddenly see the woman you work with in a different light? For over a year Cohen Cook has managed to keep Skye Rossi firmly in the friend zone until suddenly she isn’t.
I loved Cohen from the first time he was introduced in the beginning of the series and all this book has done has made me fall even more in love with him. From the first to the last chapter I was totally invested and all in with Cohen and Skye.
It is obvious to everyone around them that the sparks that fly between Cohen and Skye are almost combustible. Initially determined to ignore the smoldering chemistry that lies between them, both on and off the job, Cohen is further tested when he moves in to be the on site representative for the families latest renovation flip, which also happens to be the building where Skye lives.
Skye is used to having interfering brothers who believe that they can run her life so she is sassy and feisty and not at all afraid to stand up for who or what she wants and I loved her.
Hard Work is a laugh out loud romantic comedy with lots of heart and family who love and support one another and those they love.
I was so excited to be back with the Cook men and the women that they have come to love. This is one of my favourite feel good series over the past 12 months and I will be sad to see the series end eventually.
