Reid and Cosway Make the Most Perfect Pair With Their Perfect Collaboration


I have decided that Penny Reid is a magician.  Or a witch.  Or a wizard.  But surely nobody is this talented.  Seriously, everything she writes turns to gold.  And I should know because I've read everything she's written except for one book.  Relax, I'm just waiting to get to ABF to get the signed paperback to read.

But seriously, how often do the words "biomedical researcher" and "romance novelist" go on the same resume?  I'll tell you how many times.

One.

Her name is Penny Reid.

Then you add Dublin born and bred LH Cosway to bring in a touch of the Irish, and you have the genius writing duo that brings us an extremely fun tale titled "The Hooker and the Hermit".

Rest assured, "The Hooker" is not a prostitute.  Ronan, our hero, plays professional rugby in Ireland and his position is that of a hooker.  He's aggressive.  He's rough around the edges.  And he's all man.

"The Hermit"....well that's not too far off.  Our heroine, Annie, is a socially awkward publicity whiz who feels more comfortable behind a monitor than in a crowd.  She's also kind-hearted and endearing.  Together "The Hooker and the Hermit" make the most perfect, unlikely pair.

You might be wondering how Penny Reid and LH Cosway ended up writing a book together. It's quite an interesting story.  While it Edinburgh together, Ms. Reid was discussing a book idea she had for about a blogger who objectified men "John Madden style", by scrawling all over the pictures.  Fast forward to a dinner during that same trip when a third author mentioned how fun it would be co-author with someone.  Reid and Cosway looked at each other at the same time and BAM!  The lightbulbs went off.  They started plotting the book that night.  And I'm so glad they did!

"The Hooker and the Hermit" is already one of my favorite reads of the year.  It's fun.  It's sexy. It's funny.  And it'll bring tears to your eyes.  As writing partners, Reid and Cosway are a phenomenal duo.  While the characters have their own personalities and thought processes, the flow between chapters is seamless.  

You will absolutely adore this book.  I could read it over and over.  So don't hesitate!  Get it by clicking here.
