New York’s Finest
Blogging as *The Socialmedialite*
April 22
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 anger management issues, the body of a gladiator and the face of a movie star? The one with the questionable fashion choices leading me to ask whether he was the lovechild of a leprechaun and a hobbit? 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.

I love Penny Reid so...

I just assumed I would like/love this too.

I did really like it.

Sometimes, I felt off though.

*DID ANYONE ELSE HAVE THE WORD SPACING PROBLEM? I changed the font, the size, nothing worked. So maybe it was that added stress, and unnatural flow that gave me that "off" feeling while reading*

Because really, these characters were great, they were developed, smart, funny, different, there was no cheating, there was super hot sex, a HEA. IT HAS IT ALL!

I pre-ordered The Player and The Pixie

Sexually Harassing Women in Their Workplace is Not Romantic

I love me some alpha males but I could not STAND this a-hole “hero.” Maybe it’s because I know too many women who actually work in PR agencies and have heard too many very real stories about women being forced to tolerate sexual harassment EXACTLY like what happens in this book. What kind of psychopath thinks it’s appropriate to tell an agency he will only hire them if they put a woman on the account he plans to bone. What kind of monster puts his hand under a woman’s shirt the second he meets her IN HER WORKPLACE. What kind of guy traps a woman in an elevator who is visibly terrified of him and who’s job he has control over, has told him no she is not interest repeatedly, traps her against a wall and touches and propositions her.

And this girl’s boss!! Basically tells her she has to entertain this guy and go along with the sexual harassment or she will be fired. This is not a fun fantasy this is real. This exact thing happens to real women at agencies ALL THE TIME and this is NOT sexy alpha male behavior. It’s horrifying and abusive.

Only got through 13%. Kept waiting for someone to call this guy out or him to get some kind of come upance or a learning moment but it just is getting worse and worse. Could not stand to read this girl falling for this guy after that elevator scene where she could not have been more clear that she wanted nothing to do with him and he continued to push her and invade her personal space BECAUSE HE LIKED THE FACT SHE WAS SCARED OF HIM. This story is not romance, it’s horror.

Great series!

This book was amazing! I'm not sure why it took me so long to read this book, but I'm definitely looking forward to future books they write together. A definite must read.
