Synopsis
New York’s Finest February 14, 2015 LADIES AND GENTS! I have an announcement!You know that guy I featured on my blog a few months ago? The really, really hot Irish rugby player who plays the position of ‘hooker’ in the RLI (Rugby League International)? The one with the questionable fashion choices leading me to ask whether he was the lovechild of a leprechaun and a hobbit? The one with the anger management issues and the body of a gladiator and the face of a movie star? Ronan Fitzpatrick? Yeah, that guy.Well, I have a confession to make…
THE HERMIT
Annie Catrel, social media expert extraordinaire at Davidson & Croft Media and clandestine celebrity blogger, can make anyone shine in the court of public opinion. She is the Socialmedialite, anonymous creator of New York’s Finest and the internet’s darling. Virtual reality is Annie’s forte, but actual reality? Not so much.
THE HOOKER
Ronan Fitzpatrick, aka the best hooker the world of rugby has seen in decades, despises the media—social or otherwise. The press has spun a web of lies depicting him as rugby’s wild and reckless bad boy.
Suspended from his team, Ronan has come to Manhattan to escape the drama, lay low, fly under the radar. Only, Ronan isn’t easy to overlook, and he can’t escape the notice of the Socialmedialite…
THE PLAN
When Ronan is sent to Davidson & Croft Media to reshape his public image, he never expects to cross paths with shy but beautiful Annie, nor does he expect his fierce attraction to her. He couldn’t be happier when her boss suggests pairing them together.
What lengths will Annie take to keep her virtual identity concealed? And what happens when the hooker discovers who the hermit really is?
The Hooker and the Hermit is a collaboration between authors L.H. Cosway and Penny Reid, is a full length 100k word novel, and is a standalone.
My Review of The Hooker and the Hermit by L.H. Cosway & Penny Reid
Dearest Annie, Roses are red. Violets are blue. I’m using my hand But I’m thinking of you. – Ronan P.S. Just to clarify, I’m using my hand to write this note…get your mind out of the gutter.
Sweet, funny, romantic, and witty. Also not to be missed, The Hooker and the Hermit makes great use of the work f*ck. Seriously, Ronan uses it in everyday conversation. You know when you read some books and it seems as the author just through in a f* here and an f* there just to give the book an edge? Not here, when Ronan says it, he means it and it becomes part of his personality. I fell in love with Ronan’s personality, pushing Annie just enough to get her out of her comfort zone.
Annie’s personality is definitely one of a hermit. Between her online persona and being able to work from home most days, she doesn’t venture out much, but Ronan tries to change that because he’s intrigued by Annie. The same Annie that’s hiding something. Oh, and she has a thing for eclairs and tends to snort.
No worries, no spoilers here. This is a great read for a Sunday afternoon on the beach, or if you’re up North – a Sunday afternoon by the fire.
I love Ronan’s dirty mind and smart mouth, plus he can pull off spandex and weird shoes. The chemistry between Ronan and Annie gives you shivers because of his dirty, sexy mouth. Ahh, the things he says to Annie to make her blush. Love, love, love this book!
The Hooker and the Hermit is a stand-alone, full-length novel. It has characters that are sexy and sweet, swoon-worthy and smart. There isn’t much more to say other than go buy this book. Such a fun read.

about penny reid
SEX! It all started with sex, between my parents. Personally I don’t like thinking about it, but whatever works for you is a-ok with me. No judgment. The sex happened in California and much of my life also occurred in that state until I moved from the land of nuts (almonds), wine, silicon… boobs, and heavy traffic to the southeast US. Like most writers I like to write, but let’s get back to sex. Eventually I married and gave birth to 2 small people-children (boy-6, girl-4 as of this writing).
By day I’m a biomedical researcher with focus on rare diseases. By night I’m a knitter, sewer, lino block carver, fabric printer, soap maker, and general crafter. By the wee hours of the morning or when I’m intoxicated I love to listen to the voices in my head and let them tell me stories. I hope you enjoy their stories.
