About this audiobook
Annie Catrel, social media expert extraordinaire at Davidson & Croft Media and clandestine celebrity blogger, can make anyone shine in the court of public opinion. She is the Socialmedialite, anonymous creator of New York's Finest and the internet's darling. Virtual reality is Annie's forte, but actual reality? Not so much.
Ronan Fitzpatrick, AKA the best hooker the world of rugby has seen in decades, despises the media-social or otherwise. The press has spun a web of lies depicting him as rugby's wild and reckless bad boy. Suspended from his team, Ronan has come to Manhattan to escape the drama.
When Ronan is sent to Davidson & Croft Media to reshape his public image, he never expects to cross paths with shy but beautiful Annie, nor does he expect his fierce attraction to her.
What lengths will Annie take to keep her virtual identity concealed? And what happens when Ronan discovers who she really is?
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a great story, funny, romantic and sexy (not a scorcher). The dual narration was really good.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A romance book about Irish rugby - what could be more interesting? It helps that one of the co-authors is Penny Reid (I'm not sure I've read anything else by Ms. Cosway, but I like what I read here).Annie is a social marketing genius who is also painfully shy. She works at home, only letting her real personality shine when she writes her anonymous blog. Ronan is one of the best Irish hookers (I learned a lot about rugby here) but a social disgrace because of his antics off the field. Annie's boss has ulterior motives when she pairs the two up to rehabilitate Ronan's image. It's a fun book and a quick read. Annie and Ronan are actually pretty sweet together, even after he discovers she's behind the blog that's been tweaking him since his arrival in New York City. He brings her out of her shell and she soothes his rough edges. A good read.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The characters were unappealing and their behavior was problematic. Ick. Imagine a powerful man trapping a woman he barely knows in an elevator because he’s attracted to her.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/53.5 STARS
I purposely avoid books with most BDSM elements. There was really only a touch of this, but it soiled the hero for me and made it a struggle for me to embrace the romance 100%. Aside from that, I really enjoyed the story line. It would have been a 4.5 star read for me otherwise. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I love Penny Reid. Her books are always filled with laughter and a little bit of angst.
I loved Ronan. Lucy annoyed me at some parts but she grew on me.
The narrators was spot on. I loved the male narrators Irish accent ?? - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Love anything Penny Reid. The accent of the reader takes a little getting use to, then you can't wait to hear him again.
