This is such a good book. It was a reread and I had forgotten how amazing these ladies are at writing together. Ronan and Annie are adorable and relatable. I love the challenges they face especially Annie‘s issues.9

The two main characters meet when he starts cleaning eclaire off of her lap at random. Borderline harassment meet-cute. Yikes.
My was this a funny read. Got it on sale and am so glad that I did. It was a funny read. Also it is great to see male athletes treated as emotionally intelligent. Yeah Ronan makes some mistakes but he trusts himself much sooner. There is also some light bondage but nothing that goes too far.
I normally shy away from collaborative efforts of novels. I took a chance on The Hooker and the Hermit because Penny Reid makes me laugh and I desperately needed a solid HEA that could make me laugh.
I‘m so glad I took the risk. This was funny, well-written, and hot. I loved the main couple so much. As always, there‘s a great supporting cast of characters, too, and I stayed up way past my bedtime because I couldn‘t put the book down
Meh... this one didn't really do anything for me. The hero was just too pushy and too many of his "courting" behaviors made me cringe.
Heroine seems to be a mishmash of traits (& possibly a skewed Mary Sue), the evil mom & bitch ex tropes are lazy & internalized misogyny, & the hero is definitely off—he buys a skittish woman a diamond necklace & orders her to never be alone with another man! Another problem is that they do dumb stuff, then there‘s an interior monologue in which they analyze themselves like evolved characters, & then they keep lying or not communicating! #romantsy
Sadly, not seeing what the Amazon reviews were raving about. Orphan heroine who stumbles while walking and spills things. Evil mother of hero. Hero verging into sexual harassment and symptoms of future abusive behavior :( #pennyreidfail?
Finished listening to this while working on the next shawl project.
I especially enjoyed the Irish accent of the male narrator.

My amazon order arrived. No books. Carcassonne to play with the kids and a new TV set (I wanted a small one but the kids talked me into an exact replacement of the one my husband is taking to his new flat).
In between delivery arrivals I moved furniture to use up the space Himself's move out created.

#audiobook while winding yarn. Now I need to find a pair of knitting needles of the right size.
I've started another book. I might need an intervention! 🙈🙈
Four chapters in and I am hooked. Great narration and a very funny story.
I won this German copy of the above mentioned book and it was the first (and is probably the only) physical book with a half-naked guy showing off #muscles that I own.
I normally limit my #NoShame #GuiltyPleasures to e-books.

@Kalalalatja Thanks for the #-tag ;)
It was a lot more fun than I thought! I'd read other books by this team. 😁😜
I was unable to resist this title. I was hoping it was about a crocheter who bakes raisin nut cookies. It's not but it's satisfying my need to read about "real" people for a bit.
Won an instagram giveaway for the German edition of the book tagged.
Both authors even signed the book.
Now I can compare the German translation to the OV. ;)
I don't know why I waited so long to read this, but it was just as fun as I'd imagined. Characters were quirky and deep, plus the male audiobook narrator had a wonderful voice! #romantsy
