About this listen

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 Wingmen 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 Wingmen 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.

Contains mature themes.

Great comedy!

The story was humorous and easy listening….except when the female narrator made male characters sound like cartoon characters.

Must Read!!!

I am a huge Rachel Van Dyken fan, she is amazing. I love these series, that have been tied together through the character, Nadene Titus. There is never a dull moment, and I need that in a story or I lose interest. I have loved every book I have read by this auther.

Easy Listen

This was a light read with a HEA. Some spice. This is definitely for a younger crowd as it has a very college feel. All the characters are funny, sweet and respectful. I don't like the way the h lacks confidence in her curves. The female narrator isn't my favorite, but tolerable. I liked the laugh out loud moments and feel good story.

The heroine: Jillian Hillstone (a.k.a. Jillie) - she is a curvy girl who is a bit self conscious of her curves. She has had a crush on Finn since college, though he never knew she existed. When he comes to work at Wingman, Inc. where she works with a bunch of college friends, she knows she doesn’t have a chance with the 6’3” muscular and handsome man.

The Hero: Finn Titus - he grew up in a wealthy family, though he had problems at home with his parents. His aunt was in charge of the family business and family fortune and his parents always needed money. Since Finn and his sister got their trust funds, their parents have been threatening everything under the sun to get Finn and his sister to give them money. Finn decided not to go into the family business after college, instead he went in with his college friends on an elite matchmaking app. He was now the only single vice president of Wingman Inc.

The Story: Since Jillie and Finn are the only single people at Wingman, they are asked to beta test the app to make sure there are no defects in the software that pair people up with their perfect match. Not only do they have to put in their profiles and what they want in a perfect mate, they end up having to double date with the people they are matched with.

Jillian immediately knows that Finn will end up with a model perfect skinny girl, who looks nothing like her. Though she doesn’t realize how Finn is totally attracted to her and her curves. I generally don’t like curvy girl romance, because the heroine always has low self esteem, and a lot of the stories dwell far too much on her body. This one wasn’t so bad though. It was weird in that she was preoccupied with the fact that she wasn’t a perfect 10, but other times she seemed very self assured in her body image.

The sexual tension between the two main characters was great. I didn’t like the fact that Finn was a virgin. Though it was pretty funny that Jillie thought he was a man-whore because he looks so hot, and she has had a crush on him for so long. I also quite liked the back-and-forth chatter between them. There were also some pretty funny scenes, like when she needed help getting out of her spanks. Though it was a bit cringeworthy.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Aaron Shedlock and Jillian Macie. I like both of these narrators quite a bit. Both of them sound very natural and not at all like they are reading. Aaron has a quiet but sexy voice that I really like, and Jillian sounded great as Jillie.
