The Varlet and the Voyeur is the fourth book in the Rugby series by Penny Reid and LH Cosway. I am just going to say it…The rugby series is my favorite sports romance series of all time! Which should come as no surprise to any of you because I think by now you know I have a not so mild obsession with everything Penny Reid (and now LH Cosway) writes. Each of the books in the rugby series can be read as standalones and they each follow a a different character, but trust me when I tell you this, you are going to want to read all of the books in this series. So you might as well read them in order. They are all so stupendously wonderful, and they each follow a different member of the rugby team. Please don’t make me pick my favorite because I might have a melt down (but if you twist my arm…it’s still Sean. I just love him.)
The Varlet and the Voyeur is Will and Josey’s story. The fact that Will is made out to be some kind of pervert is downright laughable because he is the most adorable wholesome, good hearted guy out there. I loved him. And Josey totally cracked me up. She is a sweetheart too, but the girl does not know when to stop talking. It was kind of hilarious. And what I liked the most is that Will totally appreciated her for exactly who she was. He might not have known it, but he was kind of smitten with her from the first moment she opened her mouth. And I loved it! Stoic Will and Chatty Josey are such a cute couple, and watching their story unfold was so much fun in signature Penny Reid/LH Cosway style. I knew from the very first chapter that I was going to enjoy this book every bit as much as the first three books in the series. We get to see some of my favorite characters from the first three books, but Teh Varlet and the Voyeur was still very much Josey and Will’s story.
I am just going to come right out and say it- you can’t beat a Penny Reid romance. Her signature humor, sexiness and character development are unmatched. She knows how to write characters that you want to read about, and she knows how to write romances that you just can’t get enough of. and the author duo of LH Cosway and Penny Reid is a huge hit in my opinion. The Rugby series is my favorite. They never let me down. The characters are engaging, the romance is some of the best there ever was, the writing is witty and so much fun and the story is so good you will not be able to put it down. Penny Reid has written some of my very favorite romance series. Of all time people. She is one of my favorite authors Of.ALL.TIME! If you are not reading her books, you are doing yourself a disservice. Show yourself some love and read the Rugby series.
P.S. can someone please recommend me another LH Cosway series to read, because I need to be reading her books too because she is excellent as well!
