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!
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.

Excerpt:
*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.

***** MY REVIEW ******
Penny Reid and LH Cosway strike again with 4th book in their Rugby series, The Varlet and the Voyeur. William Moore is a Rugby player from America. He is considered the suave gentleman on the team. He is quiet and has very good manners. But its those quiet ones you have to watch. William has a BIG secret, one that he doesn’t want out there. And it seems that secret is about to be released. Then we have Josey Kavanagh- she is this awkward woman who didn’t know what she wanted to be or do with her life. Until she decided she wanted to be a vet. Her parents supported those life choices and paid for everything..until they didn’t. They told her that cannot continue to pay for her vet courses and that she needs to move out of the home and find a place to live. This doesn’t go over well with Josey who feels like the world is falling in on her and she flees to her BFF’s home- Eilish doesn’t know what to make of seeing her BFF Josey there with her luggage and her dog but Josey swears she will be there for a few days. She tells her friend th at she is going to find a place and a job should fall into place. All of this happens during the scandal with William.
Thru Ellish with her guy Bryan, Josey is introduced to William and she becomes his new roommate who can help William keep things at bay. But when they have chemistry, a sizzle, - can they overcome their past to find out if they have a future together?
Josey is this quirky heroine who is unique. William has this past that makes him unsure if he is good bet to take a chance on a future on relationships. This is a standalone, it is still part of a series and it is good to see previous characters from past books make appearances. The book was so unpredictable. I did like the action and drama that took place. I found the heroine refreshing and the hero just perfect. I look forward to more Rugby books.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *****
