Publisher's summary

I’ve fallen victim to a heinous act. An act so vile, so downright dirty, that I’m not sure as a 20-year-old man I'll ever recover. Brace yourself, because what I’m about to tell you might have you gasping in secondhand horror.

Ready? Here it goes....I’ve recently become the pawn of a meddling mom. Yes...a meddling mom - who's been trying to set me up all summer. Now, I understand it’s not a crime for a mother to want her child to fall in love, but when she makes it her relentless mission, the heinous act should be classified as a misdemeanor at least.

Of course, my mom, the evil matriarch in the devil’s leggings, made her final stab at finding a girl for me days before I went back to college. And I hate to admit it, but she saved a doozy for last. A titan in black skinny jeans. A boss of nonchalance. And a girl who would not only turn my life upside down, but do it while juggling a soccer ball, looking effortlessly gorgeous around campus, and is 100 percent against relationships. Of any sort. Thanks, Mom.

One of my favorites in the series

Indie and Lincoln. Wow what a story. A friends to lovers trope with a few twists and some major highs and lows. Fair warning that there are years of distance but still a HEA. Also the narrators are awesome.

So so good

5/5 on the narration and story line!! It’s been too long when a book was this good and gave my all the good butterfly’s & laughs!!

So cute, one of the better Brentwood books! Just ignore the cover art

Maybe it’s just me, but do yourself a favor and ignore the cover art and just use your imagination for a better Lincoln (or search Pinterest). Makes for a better story imo
This is one of my favorites in the Brentwood series! I was glad to get away from huge misunderstandings but sad we still had yet ANOTHER time gap… glad we still get an HEA though.

Spice? Yes.
Romance? Yes.
Some comedy? Also yes, loved the two moms. 🩷
Good narration as well! Connor Crais has a dreamy voice

So Good!

The Setup was so good from start to finish! I absolutely loved Indie and Lincoln's story! I'll admit I was a little confused at first, because this book takes place in college, while in the previous books of the series we met Lincoln as a major league baseball player. Nonetheless, once the surprised of the timeline was over, I could only be amazed by this couple.

From their first meeting, Indie and Linc developed an easy frienship. They had an effortless connection that continued all through their junior year at Brentwood. The story wasn't only really funny, but highly emotional too. And let's not forget the spice between these two when their relationship turned to friends with benefits. Their love story was a long process that saw them navigate through heartbreak before embracing their true feelings for each other, but so worth the wait!

The audiobook narration was just so good! I was hooked and couldn't let go of these characters. The Setup is definitely one of my favorite in the series!

Lincoln is my FAVORITE!

All of Meghan Quinn's other baseball guys can step aside, Lincoln is my FAVORITE! He's a gorgeous athlete who is sensitive, thoughtful, smart and loyal. What an amazing friends to lovers tale she created for us! It was so refreshing for the female lead to be a college athlete too. I really enjoyed getting to experience Indie's soccer season and her teammate and roommate Scarlett is such a HOOT. I didn't want The Setup to end- it was filled with Quinn's trademark humor and chemistry. So fun! The performances by Kelsey Navarro and Connor Crais were fantastic- they were perfectly cast and so enjoyable to listen to.

Excellent story and narration

This is an amazing audiobook. Totally loved it…especially how it ended. Indy and Lincoln are made for each other, but it takes both of them such a long time to fully understand the magnitude of their relationship and to own it. Glad they finally took the next step. The depiction of the sports world seemed very authentic in what each of them experienced. Loved his Moms! What an amazing support group they are for him. Loved the narration by Connor Crais and Kelsey Navarro…absolutely brought the characters to life! Highly recommend this audiobook!

So many tears

I haven’t cried this much during a book in a long time. The ending was a bit blunt after all the drama and year’s of misunderstandings.

THE SETUP ❤

This series just gets better and better with each book❣ This was one hell of a rollercoaster ride ❣ It has all the feels ❣

And the Oscar goes to....

Connor Crais!!!! Wow, he gave a performance - made me tear up a bit. Really enjoyed this story. Towards the ending chapters, he did most of the narration...I forgot that Kelsey was the female narrator, so when she chimed in again, I was disappointed 😞. And she wasn't even a bad narrator, I had just gotten used to Connor narrating for all characters. Storyline was intriguing, funny, sad, sexy. Meghan did a fantastic job writing. I can't remember being disappointed with one of her books yet, still have several more waiting in my library to listen to. Well done!

Love this book!

This book breaks your heart as you go on the journey with Indie & Lincoln. It is wonderful!!!!!
