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 110k word novel, and is a standalone.

Review
I've been heckled by Bekah for a while about needing to read this book. So, before leaving for my trip I saw it was on Kindle Unlimited (it is not longer on KU at the time of this posting), so I borrowed it. Apparently Annie reminds Bekah of me. After reading this, I haven't decided if she's insulting or complimenting me.
One reason I put off reading this is because my dad plays rugby, and it's always weird when people talk about how sexy rugby players are. No offense to Ronan, but it did take me a bit to not associate the two. Thankfully I got past that, or the rest of this would have been hella awkward.
Anyway, I really liked Annie's character. Being a big shot social blogger online, but staying under the radar in real life. She's good a pretty good reason for keeping her distance from people, and it was heartbreaking to hear about her story. This made getting to know her and watching as she develops such a reward.
This book has a lot of funny parts, but an equal amount of heart clinching drama. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and the only time I put it down was because the plan I was on while reading was so turbulent I literally could not hold on to my kindle. Which was equal parts terrifying and annoying - because it was at A PART! One very specific part that was a horrible time for me to stop reading.
There's much about it that I really enjoyed. I give props to Bekah for, once again, forcing me to read a Penny Reid book. I absolutely recommend it, especially to other hermit bloggers such as myself.
