Keeping a secret this big is going to take lots of balls. Specifically, rugby balls.

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 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?

5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner from my favorite writing duo!
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2017

I was eagerly anticipating this one and it delivered. After meeting Bryan and Eilish in the Player and the Pixie. This book reminded me so much that Sean is hilarious and very much a charmer. The balance between humor and sweet, emotion and passion, tension and a bit of drama was just rightfully done. It had all the elements of a good love story bang on.

Eilish fancied Bryan from a far for a long time followed his career and meeting him for the first time was magical. So her hopes were dashed when that encounter turned sour the next day. Well for her it was pleasant and something she wanted. So for Bryan to be a jerk and blacked out was not expected at all. Granted he always had a alcohol problem for a while now she just didn't know. When Bryan gets his act years later and sober, a codgy old man lifestyle at that. No more parties, and unruly behavior to become more stable aware of things. They meet again years later. Eilish has one secret though of the kid kind, making it hard around him. I get her hesitancy and uncertainty with everything, past hurts and guilt. Complicated definitely. Watching them navigate that along with their own feelings toward one another makes a great story. What will Bryan do? dun dun DUN!

Oh I do love a good reformed bad boy Bryan was that. Now years later was good for him now more level headed. He Eeeps I rooted for them, the feels. I love hpw they got a second chance to right things. Character growth for both of them is evident. Eilish is amazing such a warmth and strength to her and a good mum. She has her vulnerability though she tries to hide it. She handled being have to be responsible so well. Her subconcious is a hoot. Bryan seeing for his kid is just so precious, right away you can tell he will be a good dad. The banter between all thr characters made this so much fun, well placed quips and sarcasm.

For both of them to have had a difficult childhood and their parents were being not good example. They recognized their shortcomings. The reality of the situation is full of ups and downs. Not everyone adjusts as well or figures things out easily. They have to figure it out themselves. The moments that were touching seeing them develop, it's not going to be an easy road but much worth it. Still watching Bryan fall over himself to win back Eilish is adorable. Plus the kiddo I was so smitten. All three together was just special.

Ah these rugby lads how I missed them. The banter parts are too funny. I really hope William gets a book cause I like the serious grumpy guy. I adore this author duo, their writing is seamless. Reading them is effortless and you feel immersed into the story with all the emotions captured. Timing and pacing was spot on as well, the drama not contrived.
It was darn good with lovable characters and storyline. I really didn't want this to end.

This is a series that just continues to win my heart. It had humor, romance, heat, and lots of very sweet moments that warmed my heart.

Once again, we have a fabulous couple. Eilish lost a lot when she chose to raise her son. She lost her trust fund and familial support (with this exception of the awesome Sean). Yes, she lost a lot, but she came out on the other side a much stronger person. I loved her commitment to her son, her pluck, and her sense of humor. As another single mother by choice, I was able to relate to Eilish, and adored the way her love for her son radiated from the page. Our hero quickly wormed his way into my heart. First and foremost, this was his opportunity to redeem himself, and I love me a redemption story. He had so many good qualities too. His commitment to his mother showed that he would not abandon the ones he loved, and would support them no matter what their life choices. He was just an "all-in" kind of guy. The way he quickly accepted Patrick as his own and jumped in with both feet made my heart swell, and I could not get enough of him trying to woo Eilish. **sigh**

@ECassChoosesPikachu:Mirror, mirror on the wall..
@THEBryanLeech to @ECassChoosesPickachu: You are. Aways.

Reid and Cosway always bring the fun. This book is packed with laughs and great banter. The characters all have these fun quirks, and I looked forward to finding out what a particular characters peculiarity was going to be. Container store love? Kid sized tuxes? Birdwatching, mint tea, and fur lined slippers? All sorts of fun little idiosyncrasies.

She laughed. "He doesn't like the term 'babysitter'.
He prefers 'child haute couture consultant.'"

Speaking of Sean, he was a total rock in the book. He was there for Eilish and Patrick each and every time in big and small ways. I think I smiled during every single one of his scenes. His meddling was wonderful, and I just adored him. I have to admit, the males really stood out in this book. I found their camaraderie entertaining, and like seeing men having meaningful exchanges too.

Confession: I messed up. I read this book thinking it was book 2. So now I need to read book 2, Sean's book, but it by no way hampered my enjoyment of this book, as these are true companions.

Overall: A fun and engaging story filled with lovable characters and lots of laughs.

Penny Reid é uma autora que eu compro sem pestanejar. Eu adorei todos os seus livros que chegaram em minhas mãos, a série Winston Brothers é uma das minhas favoritas. Sua parceria com L.H. Cosway já rendeu grandes resultados, como os dois livros anteriores dessa série e The Cad and The Co-Ed vem provar que essa parceria ainda pode render muito mais.
Eu adorei o livro um da série Rugbi e este agora me deixou com um enorme sorriso no rosto o tempo todo. Uma insipirada mistura de sexy romance, humor e pouquíssimo drama, tudo muito bem dosado, resultando numa história deliciosa e charmosa com personagens adoráveis e incrivelmente reais.
Estamos em março e, sem dúvida, The Cad and The Co-Ed já pode ser considerado um dos top romances de 2017.
Este livro é um mix de vários temas clássicos dos romances: o herói mulherengo, a heroína jovem e inexperiente, a noite de romance que vira pesadelo pela manhã, a gravidez inesperada, o bebê secreto. Tudo isso misturado com maestria faz um romance onde tudo encaixa perfeitamente, do ritmo da história, ao crescimento emocional dos personagens, das pequenas surpresas da trama a cada página, ao texto engraçado e inteligente.
Não perca! Este é um romance que se destaca dentre os demais. Engraçado, docemente emocional e sexy na medida certa.

Nicole @ Emerald Book Reviews

Penny and LH.'s books; their symphony of combined words; their unpredictable and unusual characters- all have this innate power to take the hopeless, the untrustworthy and the careless within and give it the ability to transform into something that is beautifully complex and has tremendous integrity and in The Cad and the Co-Ed they have harnessed this literary power and given readers another delightful addition to their popular and highly acclaimed Rugby series.

The Cad and the Co-Ed was a story that I had reservations about. I read the blurb before release and admittedly wondered how they were ever going to reform someone as destructive and self-serving as Bryan. As beautiful as he may have been on the outside, he still perpetuated the playboy image by being remote, selfish, cavalier and opportunistic when it came to women. However, in the Cad and the Co-Ed we are introduced to Bryan as he is dealing with the pain, confusion, humiliation and ultimately the consequences that his past actions have had on him and those around him. Changed and altered, full of mixed emotions and a brand new outlook on life, Bryan comes across as more beautiful and confident than any male protagonist in the literary world because he is very human, flawed and trying to make amends.

"There were no villains. Just two misguided people colliding and making something beautiful. I might've been scared at the time, but I wouldn't trade Patrick for the world. He's my everything."

Eilish is such a graceful but complicated heroine - the best kind to meet. Suffering from a multitude of perceived sins, she spends her days mired in mammy-hood, forgoing any social life or fun. Eilish is witty, intelligent, hard-working and full of so much unconditional love for her son, displaying so much warmth and compassion and understanding for everyone around her that her character shines off the page, and when combined with the explosive heat and chemistry she shares with Bryan, any scene that they share immediately imprints on the brain and creates a tsunami of butterfly-inducing sighs.

The writing is as exceptional and impeccable as always, with fun and sharp banter from the boys and supporting characters as well as a plot that is so fun and romantic that Gary Marshall could have made a movie out of it. Penny and LH are a formidable writing team, giving readers books with heart and hope and characters with flaws and feeling, so if you like to read a more realistic, heartwarming and complex love story- or you love hot sex scenes, comedy and plots with a bit of a dramatic flair- then start reading the Rugby series today. You won't regret it.

Penny Reid and L. H. Cosway have done it again! I've fallen in love with another sexy,sweet and bigger than life Rugby player. This story had all the funny, swoony and tender moments only these two authors can write. I adored both characters Bryan and Eilish especially their love for each other and their families. This is definitely one of my favourite series!
