Review: The Varlet and the Voyeur - L.H. Cosway & Penny Reid

BANNER-BlogTour.jpg


The Varlet and the Voyeur, an all-new standalone in the USA Today bestselling Rugby Series from Penny Reid and L.H. Cosway is available NOW!


Cover


He kept his salacious secret for years. But soon, everyone is going to be reading about it in their morning paper…

THE VARLET (and the VOYEUR)

William Moore is a long way from home. A farm boy from Oklahoma, he’s now the most well-respected member of the Irish rugby team. But appearances are often deceptive, and Will isn’t the clean-cut, all-American good-guy everyone imagines him to be. He’s got a secret, one that will tarnish his reputation forever.

THE VOYEUR (and the VARLET)

Josey Kavanagh is a self-proclaimed mess, but she’s finally get her shi…uh, act together. She’s set her sights on becoming a veterinarian, but there’s one teeny tiny road bump. Her living arrangements are coming to an abrupt end, leaving Josey homeless and in need of a job to pay her way through college.

THE PLAN

What he needs is a companion to keep him on the right path.
What she needs is an apartment with free rent.
Will is convinced Josey will make the perfect companion, since she’s brutally honest and basically ‘just one of the guys.’ Josey is convinced she can ensure Will doesn’t succumb to his voyeuristic proclivities by keeping a scrupulous eye on him.
Except, what happens when the varlet is tempted by the voyeur, and vice-versa?!
Perchance something very, very volatile. And vexing.

The Varlet and the Voyeur is a full-length romantic comedy novel, can be read as a standalone, and is the 4th(and last) book in the USA TODAY bestselling Rugby Series.

Major props to L.H. Cosway and Penny Reid for creating my new favorite female character.  Josey is adorably awkward, honest to a fault, and sweet.  You never know what is going to come out of her mouth.  Pair her up with Will--who could be the poster boy for the strong, silent type--and you have the opportunity for shenanigans.  I have to admit that this is my first time reading this series and I am in love.  There is steamy heat, laugh out loud moments, and heartwarming warm fuzzies.

Josey and Will are both extremely well-developed characters.  They each have their own backstories that explain their strengths and weaknesses.  The secondary characters are just as interesting.  I'm definitely going to have to read this series from the start.  There is some drama but it works with the storyline and doesn't come out of left field.  If you are looking for a book that'll make you laugh then you definitely should pick this one up.  I'm planning on re-reading this one soon.



*Will*
When I saw how spotless the shared living space was, I allowed my curiosity to get the better of me and peeked my head into her bathroom, Rocky dancing around my feet as I entered the space. The counters were covered in woman-products, but the marble surface and sink were free of water spots, and the glass of the shower had been wiped clean.

I glanced at Rocky. He glanced at me. Bemused, I chuckled to myself, about to turn back to the door, and that’s when I spotted it.

A dildo.

A big, Pyrex dildo.

With ridges.

In the shower.

I froze, blinked, and I stared at it, my brain sluggish. Oddly, I had to remind myself to breathe. Likely because I was . . .

I was—

I was shocked.

I shook myself, tearing my eyes from it and rubbing my chest where an odd kind of pang was spreading mild warmth up my neck.

But why was I shocked?

Why should I be surprised?

Despite my never seeing her that way, Josey was a woman and women have needs.

Don’t they?

I hadn’t grown up around women—any women. My mother died when she had my youngest brother. My grandmother died before I was born. I had no sisters. We lived on a farm, way out in BFN Oklahoma.

Girls—women—and their bodies were sacred lands of the unknown to us Moore boys.

Unbidden—completely unbidden—an image of Josey flashed through my mind’s eye. Her full lips parted, her big eyes closed, causing her thick black lashes to catch droplets of water before they dripped over her sharp cheekbones. Her head would be lolled back as shower spray melted bubbles of slippery soap, sliding down her bare skin as they dissolved. Her legs would be parted, and maybe one hand would be braced against the wall of the shower while the other moved in a steady rhythm.

Holding that huge, glass dildo.

I swallowed a sudden rush of salvia and, unable to help myself, I leaned closer to the sex toy, examining it and comparing its size against my own.

I was bigger.

But not by much.

And for some reason, this realization made me instantly hard.

Crap.

Of course I knew Josey was a woman, but until this moment, I’d never really thought of her that way. Not even the tampon-mountain drove the point home. Up until this point, she was someone I liked as a person, someone who made me laugh, who was smart and compassionate, someone around whom I felt completely comfortable. A good—no, a great companion.

She was still all of those things, except—

Except now I’ve pictured her naked.

Blog Tour: The Cad and the Co-Ed - Penny Reid & L.H. Cosway

sbpr-cad-coed-bt

The Cad and The Co-Ed, a quirky and sexy romantic comedy from Penny Reid & L.H. Cosway is available now!!

thecadandco-edcover

THE CAD
Bryan Leech is a cad.
Or, he *was* a cad.
No one is quite certain.
Once the quintessential playboy, Bryan claims he’s done with wild parties and weekend benders. No more one night stands leading to mornings he can’t remember; no more binges and blackouts; no more exploits plastered all over the tabloids and rag sheets. According to Bryan, he’s cleaning up his act.
The only problem is, no one believes him.

THE CO-ED
Eilish Cassidy never thought she’d be a mother at nineteen or still in college at twenty-four. Cut off from every member of her family except her favorite cousin, she’s finally managed to put her life back together. Stronger and wiser, Eilish enters her last semester of university determined to stand on her own. Now she just needs to find an internship.
The only problem is, her best option—by far—places her directly in the path of her son’s father, and he doesn’t remember her at all.

THE PLAN
Bryan is determined to prove he’s changed. Eager to settle down with the right woman, he’s got his sights set on the gorgeous redhead who seems terribly familiar.
Eilish is determined to hide her secret. She’ll do anything to keep her child safe, even if that means ignoring her own wishes and desires.
But what happens when Bryan starts to remember? And what will it take for Bryan to convince the girl he forgot that she’s unforgettable?

Review
 
So I’m a little late to jump on the L.H. Cosway and Penny Reid co-writing train.  Not for lack of want but for lack of time.  But I’m here now and I’m here to stay.  This was a sweet second chance romance that definitely tugged on the heart strings and got the heart pounding.  The duo was able to effortlessly blend their voices together to mix humor and heart into a story that kept me entertained and amused.  I easily fell in love with the characters.  I’m definitely going to have to go back and read the previous books.

Eilish is a strong, single mom.  She’s sweet, stubborn and sassy when she needs to be and about to join the staff at the team where her son’s father works.  Oh but he doesn’t know he’s a dad.  Bryan is a recovering alcoholic, a homebody and having a wild case of Deja vu when it comes to the new physio.  While his past is a mess, he’s now sweet, funny and definitely sexy.  The relationship between the two of them is a great mix of friendship, romance and heat.  There’s definitely some sexual tension going on but I love that they are building a relationship beyond just the sex.  Both of them were pretty complex characters with interesting backstories and their own strengths and weaknesses.  And you do get to see them work through some of that in the story.  The secondary characters were just as amazing.  I loved all the tweets at the beginning of each chapter and it was fun to see how the teammates ragged on each other like a family.

From what I’ve heard about the previous books, I was expecting a lot more humor.  But that doesn’t bother me much because I think that this one was the perfect balance between humor and heart.  It’s definitely a delightful, light read with low drama.  It’s definitely going on the re-read shelf.  If you like sports romances, I’d pick this one up today.  -Peace and Love, Buxom J
