Until the Cock Crows - Sierra Simone

So, if you follow the romance book world, you probably remember the whole deal with the author who tried to copyright the word "cocky" last year. And the author's books that she reported to Amazon and they had to change their title and it cost them a lot of money. This anthology was published by authors in support of the authors who had been hurt by this crazy idea of trying to copyright a word. So of course, I had to buy a copy! I got a lot of autographs in it at Book Bonanza last summer. I just finally finished reading it this year though. There are almost 40 different stories in this anthology. I didn't actually read all of them, because they weren't my types of stories. I'm not going to talk about every single story, that would take too long. I'll just go over a few of my favorites. As soon as I got it, I immediately turned to the Amy Daws story and read it, and of course loved it. Cam is my favorite Harris brother after all! Surprised I didn't immediately turn to Kylie Scott's story next, because it was Mal, my favorite book boyfriend, or one of the top three. But I did love that one too! Some new authors I think I've found from this book are Dylan Allen, Whitney Barbetti, Ruth Clampett, Mariah Dietz, Lex Martin, Jessica Prince, Julie A. Richman, Kate Stewart, and maybe Karla Sorensen. A great book! You can't get it anymore I think, other than used copies. Not sure if they're even selling the ebook anymore either. But they made a good chunk of money to donate to those authors who needed the legal fees and such. So if you can get a copy, you should check it out!

My rating is based on the average of the following stories ratings, not my feelings about supporting #cockygate. I completely support the #cockygate effort and hope things will be resolved quickly.
Cocked and Loaded by Dylan Allen: 2.5/5
Double Cocked by Jana Aston: 1/5
Yes there was a warning that the heroine was a bitch at the beginning but I still tried and couldn't do it.
Cocksure Grin by Whitney Barbetti: 4/5
A Wicked, Cocky Plan by Sawyer Bennett: 2/5
An interesting prequel to a series. I might have to check out the first book just to see what happens between these two.
Magical Cock and Bull by K. F. Greene: 2/5
Illusionist Seeks Neanderthal by L.H. Cosway: 3/5
While I have never read either of the series the main characters come from I still enjoyed this story a lot and really want to know more about them. I think I have two new series to add to my TBR pile.
