Also in this series: Seducing Mrs. Robinson

The first day she was sitting by herself — I felt sorry for her. After all, it couldn't be easy wrangling all the testosterone at Wingman Inc as one of the only female office managers.

The second day she literally counted her carrots during break — she had seven by the way, right along with seven sips of her drink in between taking seven tiny little bites of the first carrot.

Now I'm not one to brag, or maybe I am, but math and science fascinate me, so do problems. And this woman screamed puzzle from the way she ducked her head every time anyone looked at her, to the way she counted food and tapped the table when she didn't think anyone was watching.

I'd like to think I took pity on her that day when, in fact, she was the one that took pity on me and asked if I needed a friend. She assumed I had a learning disability since I'd been staring so damn hard.

Things would have ended there, except, my bosses need someone to test the new Wingman App and since I was the only single guy on the floor — I was nominated, right along with the only single woman, the same one who thinks I need to use my fingers to count.

Apparently rumors of my sexcapades throughout college reached even her ears, because she wants nothing to do with me, which makes beta testing a bitch. I have thirty days to win her over and prove myself to my bosses.

One thing's for certain, I'm going to have to buy a hell of a lot of carrots.

The Setup, an all new contemporary romance by #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken, is LIVE!

Kim's Review

I love the Bro Code series and I honestly think The Setup is my favorite out of all of the books! This story was fun, flirty, sexy and a fast-paced quick read that I enjoyed. The story is told in dual first-person perspectives which I really enjoy!

Finn and Jillian are working on the new Couple Creator App which will require them to go on dates with other people but go together. Little did they both know that this would set them up for an epic workplace romance! I enjoyed seeing all the “Pleasure Ponies” again throughout the story as it made for some great laughs!

The Setup and the entire Bro Code series was truly enjoyable! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a funny, flirty and sexy read!

Liz's Review

I have truly enjoyed reading the Bro Code standalone series by Rachel Van Dyken so much. In The Setup we get the final single roommate’s story, Finn and it was such a fun, sexy and charming read. Finn and Jillian, the only female office manager, must test the new app before it launches. Finn was fun and caring and just very likable. Jillian was so freaking delightful and I loved watching her interact with Finn. She had reservations about relationships that Finn slowly chipped away. I loved the back and forth banter between them and the steamy chemistry. Their story was such fun to read as is every book in this series!
