Someone hold me because WILL HAS KILLED ME!!
Will’s secret is out in the World and it is one which entirely ruined his clean cut reputation. The consequences has seeped into all facets of his life and there seems to be no escape. Now Will needs a companion who’ll help him keep on track and away from temptation.
Josey has finally gotten her life together and is on a sure path of becoming a veterinarian. Suddenly, her living arrangements are shot and now she needs a new place to live. On top of all that, she needs a job that’ll help her pay through college.
Will believes that Josey will be the perfect companion as she is honest to a fault and basically just “one of the guys”. But he didn’t factor in being attracted to her. He certainly didn’t expect Josey to return the favour. What will happen when a varlet and a voyeur come together for good old sexy times?
I can’t even explain how much I loved this book.
Josey is a peculiar character and I mean that in the best way possible. Every word out of her mouth was unexpected and honestly I laughed so much whenever she talked. I adore how fiercely protective she was of Will to the point that she didn’t even care of embarrassing herself. She’s the bees knees!!
Will oh sweet baby Jesus WILL!! I didn’t expect to fall to much in love with him. Ronan has been my favourite since I started this series but about 70% into TVATV I realized that Will had replaced him for that position. He is just so sweet and sexy and caring and so so dirty. I LOVE HIM! His affections for Josey made my heart sing with joy. HE IS TOO PURE!
I’ll admit I was a bit frustrated and even angry when Will and Josey refused to acknowledge their feelings for each other. But then they made up and my life’s balance was restored. I do wish we got to see more of the ‘voyeuristic’ aspect of Will’s life but that is a matter of personal choice.
This story is pretty different from what Penny Reid and L.H. Cosway usually write but I found it pretty darn amazing. I’m honestly sad that this is all from this gang but obviously I’ll be re-reading about these rugby nerds asap.
5 Stars!

Synopsis:
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 getting 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 Josey 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.
