Blurb

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 Joesy 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

Review

4 “Wosey” stars

Will is a rugby player who doesn’t like the spotlight. When a breaking story releases surrounding his lifestyle, he needs to fix his image and decides to hire someone to make sure he doesn’t veer off the straight and narrow path.

Josey is a 26 year of woman who until recently lived with her parents. When they decide to downsize because of money problems they kick her out. Now desperate for a job and a place to live, she can’t exactly turn down the offer to keep Will in check when it kills two birds with one stone.

The Varlet and the Voyeur is entertaining and original with well-developed characters. Will is unique and I really loved that he doesn’t make excuses for his actions. He likes what he likes and doesn’t feel ashamed. He is intriguing and to be honest, it took me a little while to grasp who he really was as a person and how his beliefs came about. But once I did, I fell hard for this amazingly good guy. He cared so much about not hurting people that he took a rather extreme route to keep himself from breaking any hearts, including his own, and I could understand the need for his for rules.

Josey is an awkward, bumbling mess when it comes to talking to new people. She is absolutely hilarious and I adored her. I loved that she wasn’t judgmental and did not look down on different lifestyles, especially when she learns about Will’s interests. She is a good friend, is understanding, and accepts Will for who he is.

It was a bit slow going in the beginning but quickly picks up as the story unfold and the relationship begins to bloom. I really enjoyed Josey and Will together and I loved watching them fall in love. Josey is exactly what Will didn’t know he needed.

She filled my apartment with her own brand of sunshine…
She’d eradicated the emptiness, but she’d made the space fuller, brighter that before.

I experienced to butterflies, the nervousness, and the new emotions coursing through their bodies. I loved watching Josey and Will bend the rules as their feelings grow stronger, and they have great chemistry  and are steamy together.

I knew the rules. I shouldn’t be wanting more. I shouldn’t be in love with her. I didn’t want to just break the rules. I wanted to annihilate them. I wanted to pound them into dust.

I was frustrated with some of their actions when it came to how they were feeling but thankfully the angst is not drawn out long and Josey and Will are able to find their HEA.

I really enjoyed the Rugby series and I am sad to see it come to an end. I am fully invested in this wonderful group of characters and each one holds a special place in my heart.
