charms1976 's review for:
The Hooker and the Hermit
by Penny Reid, L.H. Cosway
First things first! I am going to clarify that it is not what you are thinking when you first read the title. It isn’t about a prostitute/hooker on the street trying to romance a hermit. Well, it is half right I should say. You see there is a Hermit. Her name is Annie. She happens to work in social media, but is rarely seen. She prefers being alone and out of the public eye. The Hooker part is a guy name Ronan. Hooker is actually a position he plays in Rugby. He is also a bad boy who needs his image cleaned up after getting into a fight with his team mate.
Too be fair to Ronan, his team mate deserved the beat down he got. He was caught cheating with his girlfriend. I guess he shouldn’t have fought him in the public eye though because he gets suspended from the team. While on suspension, he takes a break to stay in USA. This is where he meets Annie and her team of media clean up crew. Annie has a secret of her own though. She is the famous Socialmedialite blogger that has lived under the radar with no hint of who she is.
These two quickly start to fall for each other even though they are from two different places and personalities. I did have a slight problem with how Ronan handles the aftermath of her secret being revealed. Really? You are going to turn your attitude completely around from the way you have been treating her and be a jerk? I didn’t find it believable because Ronan treated her with nothing but care, love and respect up until that point. Also nagging me in the back of my mind was how furious Annie was when Ronan admits to knowing her secret identity. It irked me that she got so mad at him when she was the one hiding the secret.
The ending was satisfying and the writing was great. I do hope we get to read about more of the characters in this book. I would love a story featuring Annie’s boss!
