My Review:
The Setup Man was a mixed bag for me. I love Kate Watson's humor and it was there, but several things didn't click for me.
Scottie is fake dating Jake to help him with his imagine. He has anger management issues and always needs someone to fix it for him. The fake dating is annoying because we know from the previous book that she has been hung up on Lucas. Yet, she can't tell him that her and Jake are fake dating.
With Scottie becoming Lucas' handler, their feelings for each other grow deeper. What bothered me is that while Scottie is only fake dating Jake, it still feels like cheating. I was annoyed half the book because I figured it was going to blow up in Scottie and Lucas' face. There are several other things that annoyed me, but I don't want to give spoilers.
Overall, I liked the book, but wish a few things had been different. I am looking forward to reading Logan's book next.
★★★/3
She's fake dating the wrong guy. Enter Mr. Right.
Scottie
I've spent my whole life cleaning up after Jake Rodgers—the bad boy of Major League Baseball. So when his latest PR disaster threatens to send him to the minors, agreeing to fake date him feels noble. Temporary. Manageable.
Then hot young pitcher Lucas Fischer shows up—with coffee I didn’t ask for and a smile that doesn’t quit—and suddenly none of it feels manageable anymore. Especially when I’m assigned to be his handler.
Now I'm pretending to be in love with the guy I've never wanted while trying not to fall for the one I can't have.
Lucas
I've been bringing Scottie Quinn coffee for ten months. I've never once guessed her order wrong–no small feat, considering the woman orders coffee based on vibes.
I've also never once told her that I know she's fake dating Jake Rodgers, that she deserves better, or that I'm in love with her. I'm a patient guy. I can wait. What I can't do is watch her disappear to make everyone else comfortable.
But Jake and I are on the same team now, and our GM has one ironclad rule: no clubhouse drama.
Easy enough. All I have to do is keep showing up until she stops pretending… without blowing up both our careers.
Yeah. Maybe I’m not that patient after all.
