Work Violation: A House Flipping Rom Com (Cook Brothers Book 2) Kindle Edition
Jaxon Cook loves a challenge.
Ronnie wants a man who pulls out all the stops.
Jax doesn't stop until he gets what he wants.
Seems like a match made in heaven. Until an unexpected development—of the 'call me Professor Cook' variety—makes their attraction-and what they did last Saturday night-a lot more forbidden.
Now, committing a work violation has become a forgone conclusion and the chase just became a lot more complicated.
Lucky for Ronnie, Jax loves breaking the rules.
Lucky for Jax, Ronnie does too.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2021I loved the 2nd story about The Cook Brothers. This one was about Jax, one of the twins. He is working this summer as a photography professor at the local college. His regular job is as a professional photographer. He has done this for over 10 years. Jax is also helping Jamie and his other brothers flip a huge house that they lovingly call Barbie's Dream House because outside and throughout are different shades of pink. Jax has also had his eye on the very beautiful Ronnie who happens to be best friends with April, Jamie's fiancee. But he has promised himself never to go there because he feels if it went bad that he would alienate his brother and future sister in law.
Ronnie has other plans. She has wanted Jax from the first moment she saw him. About 10 months after meeting they are both at a family function when they catch each other staring throughout the festivities. Jax is pretty well drunk at this time when he sees Ronnie head inside the house and giving him the come follow me look.
Oh my goodness, I absolutely love these two. Jax does everything he can to keep his hands off Ronnie until he decides he's worthy of her. Ronnie flips his buttons as often as she can. I never laughed so hard. The interactions between them and Jax family is so comical. Honestly a great story. Definitely put on your must read list! Enjoy!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2019A great second book in the series! Jax and Ronnie are definitely a cute couple - she's got lots of sass and knows what she wants. He's so sweet and dreamy. Their chemistry was amazing and really drew you in. I will say, I'm not a huge fan of teacher/student tropes but its not a huge point in the book. Jax is teaching a photography course at the local college and Ronnie happens to be one of his students. She's going back to school after leaving her job as a lawyer in her family's firm. I admire Ronnie for getting out from under the thumb of her family and going for what she wants in life! There's a little drama, of course, but overall a great, fast paced read. You get to see all your favorite characters from Work in Progress. Also, that little snippet of Bryant's book - I cannot wait!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2019I loved it! And just like the first book I didn't want it to end. I thought it was totally hilarious in the links these two would go in order to drive the other one crazy. But it was even more hilarious because they only succeeded in driving themselves, even crazier by doing so. I love this wild boisterous Cook family, Ronnie's parents....not so much. I'm really glad I got to spend a little bit of time with little Axel, too. He's giving me more laughs then anyone else, and that's saying a lot with that wacky family.
On to the next book now, got to see who gets snagged up next!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2019WORK VIOLATION is Book 2 in the "Cook County" series but can be read as a stand-alone. I do think it would be a richer reading experience if you read Book 1 first. There are characters and story threads that flow into this story from book 1 which was just as fantastic.
Loved this story. It has all of the elements of a classic rom-com (which is totally my jam). "I know if I don't kiss him, he's going to continue to be a 'huge what if." The back and forth between the two main characters is witty and colorful and the dual POV is the perfect way for this story to be told.
This was a story I read it one sitting because I just didn't want to put it down. I recommend this story, this series and this author.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2020I'm currently at 71% and I'm really annoyed with the inconsistencies when it comes to the details of the time of year the story takes place or even the car being driven by the characters. In the beginning of the story when the college semester starts the author describes the weather being cold but then right in the middle of the semester it's suddenly a "hot summer day." then two weeks away from the end of the semester the two main characters are sitting in the truck, making out, and "fogging up the windows," something that could not possibly happen on a hot summer day. this story takes place in Chicago and the weather does not vary like this. then there's the scene where Jax is driving Ronnie to Axel's birthday party in her Prius but when he gets out of the car he "rounds the front of the truck." I know the author is from New Zealand but this series is supposedly set in Chicago, USA. the dialogue between the American characters uses phrasing I would expect in a story taking place in either New Zealand or the UK but not the US. it feels lazy to me that the author didn't take the time to make sure that this story actually sounds like it's taking place in America. the obviously British phrasing and dialogue wasn't as obvious in the first book but there has been no attempt whatsoever in this second one to even make it sound like the story happens in America. at this point the story has become a little too boring for me to even want to finish it. I'm very disappointed since I really enjoyed the first book with Jaime and April.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2019Winner number two, right here! Once again, BJ has written an amazing book! Jax and Ronnie have circled each other for a year. The time has come to begin the chase! Jax wants her forever, now he just has to make sure she knows it. Ronnie has finally found herself, now she’s got Jax where she wants him too. I loved this story as much as the first. This group of characters is hilarious, sexy and down right amazing! Check out this series, you will NOT be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars I want my own Jax!
Yessss! I have been waiting for Ronnie's book since I read Work In Progress, and Ms Harvey has not disappointed with with Work Violation.
She has given me my perfect rom-com. Lots of the rom between Ronnie and Jax, and heavy on the com from everyone else.
I also liked that Work Violation was light on the angst and the drama. Our lovelies were big on the communication, so there were not silly misunderstanding that make the reader roll their eyes.
Ronnie is just one of those characters that you can't help but adore. She is sassy, she is funny, and she is a woman who goes after what she wants.
And I need to know where I can find my own Jax He is smart, sexy, artistic, good with his hands 😋
After a long time of knowing each other, it is a treat to fall in love with them as they get to "know" each other, and I fell in love with them before they fell for each other.
There is an almost 8 year old Axel who stole my heart in the first book, and now makes me want one of him for myself (and I am the least maternal woman on the planet lol).
I love how close knit the Cook family is, and their extended family is wonderful.
There is set up for the next book in this series, so please don't keep me waiting too long Ms Harvey!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love
The story is epic right down from the wonderful and funny characters to the great way they all back each other
- LuisaReviewed in Italy on December 15, 2020
4.0 out of 5 stars Crazy chemistry ahead!
Holy crap! The chemistry between Ronnie and Jax is over the top and it’s so intense it gets out of the book!
I loved, and I mean loooved the craziness of this couple. Ronnie and Jax are so perfect for each other’s it’s insane and they are also so fun! The dynamic student/professor fits so well and is all the more interesting since Ronnie is a mature student and in a second degree. Plus it’s amazing knowing better Jax, we already knew Ronnie was amazing from book 1 but Jax is so much more interesting now!
Totally recommend it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Work Violation
This book is funny, and sweet and all the things a good romance book should be. I really enjoyed it!
- LaurenReviewed in the United Kingdom on July 31, 2019
5.0 out of 5 stars 5 amazing stars!!
You know you’re in for a great read when a BJ Harvey book lands on your kindle and you know you’re in for a fantastic story when you’re sucked in from the first line and there’s a steamy scene within the first 10%!
The queen of rom coms has given us book two in the County County series and is jam packed full of witty one liners, on point banter and an addictive storyline.
Jax and Ronnie were on fire and I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this read. Amazing!!
