He kept his salacious secret for years. But soon, everyone is going to be reading about it in their morning paper\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

THE VARLET (and the VOYEUR)
\nWilliam Moore is a long way from home. A farm boy from Oklahoma, he\u2019s now the most well-respected member of the Irish rugby team. But appearances are often deceptive, and Will isn\u2019t the clean-cut, all-American good-guy everyone imagines him to be. He\u2019s got a secret, one that will tarnish his reputation forever.<\/p>\n

THE VOYEUR (and the VARLET)
\nJosey Kavanagh is a self-proclaimed mess, but she\u2019s finally get her shi\u2026uh, act together. She\u2019s set her sights on becoming a veterinarian, but there\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

THE PLAN
\nWhat he needs is a companion to keep him on the right path.
\nWhat she needs is an apartment with free rent.
\nWill is convinced Joesy will make the perfect companion, since she\u2019s brutally honest and basically \u2018just one of the guys.\u2019 Josey is convinced she can ensure Will doesn\u2019t succumb to his voyeuristic proclivities by keeping a scrupulous eye on him.
\nExcept, what happens when the varlet is tempted by the voyeur, and vice-versa?!
\nPerchance something very, very volatile. And vexing.<\/p>\n

*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<\/em><\/a> Series<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4 \u201cWosey\u201d stars<\/p>\n

Will is a rugby player who doesn\u2019t 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\u2019t veer off the straight and narrow path.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t exactly turn down the offer to keep Will in check when it kills two birds with one stone.<\/p>\n

The Varlet and the Voyeur<\/i> is entertaining and original with well-developed characters. Will is unique and I really loved that he doesn\u2019t make excuses for his actions. He likes what he likes and doesn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t judgmental and did not look down on different lifestyles, especially when she learns about Will\u2019s interests. She is a good friend, is understanding, and accepts Will for who he is.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t know he needed.<\/p>\n

She filled my apartment with her own brand of sunshine\u2026
\nShe\u2019d eradicated the emptiness, but she\u2019d made the space fuller, brighter that before.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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 \u00a0and are steamy together.<\/p>\n

I knew the rules. I shouldn\u2019t be wanting more. I shouldn\u2019t be in love with her. I didn\u2019t want to just break the rules. I wanted to annihilate them. I wanted to pound them into dust.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed the Rugby<\/i><\/a> 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.<\/p>\n
