New York’s Finest Blogging as *The Socialmedialite* April 22 LADIES AND GENTS! I have an announcement!

You know that guy I featured on my blog a few months ago? The really, really hot Irish rugby player who plays the position of ‘hooker’ in the RLI (Rugby League International)? The one with the anger management issues, the body of a gladiator and the face of a movie star? The one with the questionable fashion choices leading me to ask whether he was the lovechild of a leprechaun and a hobbit? Ronan Fitzpatrick? Yeah, that guy.

Well, I have a confession to make…

THE HERMIT

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.

THE HOOKER

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, lay low, fly under the radar. Only, Ronan isn’t easy to overlook, and he can’t escape the notice of the Socialmedialite…

THE PLAN

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. He couldn’t be happier when her boss suggests pairing them together.

What lengths will Annie take to keep her virtual identity concealed? And what happens when the hooker discovers who the hermit really is?

Ronan Fitzpatrick is an Irish rugby player who plays as a hooker. And a very well-known player in the Rugby world. Due to an unfortunate situation, he was suspended from playing rugby and went to New York to lie low for a while. He doesn't like how the media portrays him as a temperamental brat or any of the media's writing who thinks they know about his life.

Annie Cartel is a Social Media Expert. She helps famous people redeem their self. She can turn around whatever issues they are dealing with. But she is also a hermit. She is not used being surrounded by people. Not comfortable with human interaction. And she has a secret. She is the famous "The SociaMediaLite" - the most influential infotainment blogger in the world.

She somewhat stalks, took pictures & writes about famous people. From who they are with, what kind of clothes they are wearing to what color and kind of shoes they have or even how or why someone's crotch is wet. And whatever she was writing, she takes it in stride. And that is until she blogs something about Ronan Fitzpatrick.

Ronan is tired and is a kinda media hater. When he read the blog in New York's Finest by the Socialmedialite, he just got enough. All the feelings he was harboring all for months, just poured into his message to Socialmedialite. In that same week, Ronan was sent to the agency where Annie works to get his image fixed. Annie recognized him but he didn't. And the story begins.

Ronan and Annie are the opposite of the most opposite people. Ronan may have this temperamental problems, but he is charming when he wants to be. Whereas Annie, she is uncomfortable around people. Cannot even interact them eye to eye. Ronan is interested in Annie and had been wooing her by sending her teas, flowers & necklace. Annie tries to fight her feelings but Ronan is just so persistent.

This book proves opposite really do attract. But what I like most into this book is the funny interaction between the hero and the heroine. It is a light and fun read. No angst or suspense and just some misunderstandings that sometimes, I want to give these two a head slap!

I highly recommend this book to readers who likes a light, funny, sweet & sexy read. And yes, there are some sexy scenes in the book.
