Lucy Fitzpatrick doesn’t like rugby. As the little sister of Ireland’s most infamous rugby player, Lucy can’t seem to escape the championship-sized shadow cast by her big brother, or her mother’s frequent attempts to micromanage her future. Her rainbow hair is as free-spirited as her quest for inner peace, yet overbearing expectations keep bringing her down. And when she’s down, her compulsive little problem lands her in seriously big trouble.

Sean Cassidy is a cold-hearted brute… or so he’s been told. Frequently. By everyone.His blonde locks, baby blues, and rock hard bod make ladies the world over drool with desire. As the rugby world’s second most infamous player, he should be basking in his success. But Sean has never been content settling for second place, and his frequent confrontations with Lucy’s big brother leave him cold. And when he’s cold, his compulsive little problem lands him in the lap of Lucy Fitzpatrick.

Sean has a problem only Lucy can solve. Lucy has a problem only Sean can fix. The solution seems obvious: you scratch my back, and I’ll bail you out of jail. But when their business arrangement unexpectedly leaves Sean scorching hot and Lucy on the precipice of inner peace, can they convince the world—and Lucy’s big brother in particular—that this is the real deal?

Either way, both the Player and the Pixie are about to teach each other some pretty monumental lessons about family, life, but most importantly, love.


Sean Cassidy is an insensitive arse. Yet shockingly, a redeemable one, especially when the world is viewed through his skewed lens of snobbery until we realise the discrepancy between the front he presents and the man he can be…while managing to be an arse at the same time. His match, even more shockingly so, is a mini-Fitzpatrick, or rather, his arch-nemesis’s sister, whose quirks and compulsive shop-lifting behaviour somehow manages to draw out the person he wants to be.Yet tying their relationship together is the incredible idea that Sean the player is actually horrendous in bed in every way possible, which Lucy discovers to her chagrin.

That combination, characterisation-wise, is intoxicating, when all I could do was clutch my sides in hilarity as I was hit by wave after wave of unexpected (and funny!) dialogue interspersed with some poignant revelations and showings about human nature that were oddly moving.

L.H. Cosway and Penny Reid work over the stereotypical tropes of the player male and the frigid female in this book and I was immediately enthralled, swept along for the ride that got me angry when bedtime rolled around because I had to put the book down. And that could only be a good thing, because this is going straight into one of my favourites right now.
