The Setup by Kristen Proby

Tropes: Alpha Hero/ Blind Date/ One Night Stand/ Country Music Superstar/ Family Saga/ Secret Romance

“The Setup” is the fourth book in the “Singles in Seattle “series. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and honestly, she just gained a new fan. I loved the family dynamic and the open communication among them. It is not easy to find a book in which all of the family members support one another without hidden intentions. It was a breath of fresh air, to be honest.

This book follows the story of Keaton and Sidney. They met at a wedding and had an explosive night together. A year later, they meet again due to the family that ties them together, and once they see each other again, they can’t deny the chemistry they share. They decide to embark on a friends-with-benefits relationship with no expectations. Everything is fine until feelings get involved, and they have to choose if they are worth the risk.

Keaton comes from a famous family; unfortunately, he has been burned before in the relationship department because of them. They saw him as a ticket to fame by just dating him. But due to his past unsuccessful relationships, he decided to avoid anything to do with fame, including dating another person who works in the spotlight. Everything worked fine for him until he crosses paths with Sidney, a famous country singer. Will she be worth it for him to change his beliefs?

Sidney just finished her tour and is forced to take some time off from her career. She decided to temporarily move to Seattle to reconnect with her brother, never imagining that she would encounter the man who made her legs wobble a year ago. Seeing Keaton again is something she wasn’t expecting, yet she will take advantage of it by getting close to him. She needs to find a balance in her working/personal life, and she finds what she’s looking for in the family of the man she might have caught feelings for.

The Setup is a nice fast-paced story that I absolutely enjoyed. I loved the main and secondary characters. I did love how the author wrote how Keaton and Sidney worked out their fears and how strong they were. They believed in what they wanted and that they didn’t have to settle for something less. They just had to find a way to get it. I look forward to reading more about this series.

I rated this book with 4 stars and wholeheartedly recommend it.
