Closet Geeks and Slow Mo

AAAAAHHHH yes!!
Totally perfect cute & fluffy!

First and foremost: I wanna know how do you co-author a novel when you live across the ocean?

I have a thing for co-authored novels and multi-author series. Simply because most of the time they are amazing. Reid and Cosway though take this to the next level... there is such intricate knowledge of irish culture- oh the rugby details, can I just I lurve them...- then there is the entire American view of it, I don't think someone not living in either countries could get that right.  So in many ways this is super clever. Ok, admittedly I wouldn't expect anything else from Reid or Cosway. Clever authors as they are... but there are so many clear "Reid"moments, and yet again not. I really would love to hear how they work together, their creative process and how they manage to create something this unified and seamless...

I wasn't a huge fan of The Hooker and the Hermit to be honest. So while I was looking forward to this- cause well I will read anything these two write. And while I wasn't a fan, I did still like the first instalment. I just... well honestly didn't like Ronan. I mean I didn't like him AT ALL.
So it was interesting seeing him from Lucy's and Sean's POV.
And you know what? I still don't like him, much. LOL.  But I got why everyone else likes him. I do love his relationship with Lucy and with Alice. I did agree with Sean's view of Ronan to be honest, for most of the book anyhow, suddenly I understood where Ronan was coming from. And well, I changed my mind about him. Which is pretty much the best compliment I could give to the character building IMO.
I wasn't sure what to expect from Sean. I did expect more than the spoilt rich asshat he was in book one. And more I got. I love him. Except that he was pulling the poor rich boy routine at the beginning and that, well that, I didn't like that much. I love his little problem, the fact that he isn't Mr. Stud as one expects, that he is super kind under all of the blistering bravado. But most of all, I loved how he reacted to his own anger at the end. From expecting a slightly shallow pretty boy, I got a complex, reflective, interesting and compassionate man! I adore him. In fact, he is one of my favorite male characters by both authors.
Lucy was just the opposite. I loved her in Hooker & Hermit, and she was rather exasperating during this. I mean I got her issues but, well Angie did put her straight. I kept thinking- YOU EEJIET grow up and grow a pair. And again, she was totally redeemed at the end. I do get her and I love her interactions with her friends. Actually, saying that, I always liked the way she was with them. I adore her relationship with Broderick, her fun banter with all of her friends, her love and loyalty to Ronan, her sweet bond with Alice. But I simply couldn't relate to how she was with Sean half the time- and really couldn't understand her behaviour around her mother. I found her super juvenile and well, for a lack of a better word, stupid.
All in all though, Reid and Cosway have created a cool group of people.  The support cast is great, I feel like I know them and I want more of them.
Saying that.. I want a book about Broderick!!!! oh and about Tom? I really hope they will make a spin-off, cause neither of them are rugby players, and well, we do need stories for them. Broderick is even more awesome this time around. And Tom, still an intriguing character.
Alas the next book is about Eileish, Sean's cousin. Oh and while I am at it, can I just say: I did so love the sneak peaks, but they are killing me! I mean Rugby #3 is expect to be released in 2017!!!! AND I am left with that?! Gaaaaahhh!!


The plot is sweet, sexy, unique and funny. Again: do we expect anything else of those two?
Oh and while I wasn't really sure about the smut in the first installment. This is delectable. I loved it!!!

So basically my high expectation were met by this awesome author team. Definitely a fabulous cute & fluffy.  I am looking forward to more, and hoping for way more from them.
