Four guys. Constant moaning. And a revolving door across the college suite I somehow ended up in because my first name is Shawn. They don’t discriminate. Girls. Guys. Grandmas. Plants (okay maybe not plants) all walks of life stroll in stressed to the brim, and leave so satisfied I’m wondering what sort of talents lie behind that door. My roommate calls them the pleasure ponies. But the rest of … pleasure ponies.
But the rest of the college campus?
They just call them the new face of Wingmen Inc. A paid for relationship service that makes big promises.
Breakup? They’ll glue you back together again.
Depressed? They have the magic pill.
Lonely? Just spend a few minutes while they rub you down and you’ll forget all about it.
And broken hearts? Well, that’s their specialty. They’ll fix you.
For a price…
I swore I wouldn’t get involved.
But apparently they like a challenge, and a girl who doesn’t put up with their BS is basically like waving a red flag in front of a bull.
They. All. Charged.
But one holds my attention above the rest.
Knox Tate looks like a Viking — and getting pillaged is starting to look more appealing by the day. Though he’s hiding something — all of them are. And the closer I get. The more I realize that some things are left better in the past.
You’ve read reverse harem books before — but you’ve never read one like this. It’s not what you think, or is it? Dive in and find out…
Knox, Leo, Finn, and Slater are waiting, and they aren’t patient men.
Welcome to the new face of Wingmen Inc — You’re welcome.

This story is a reverse harem with a Rachel twist and it’s fabulous!
This story is about Shawn (the gal!), Knox, Leo, Finn and Slater.
Shawn is strong, she has to be. Because of hatred and bigotry she transfers to a new college for a new start and hopefully more of a feeling on belonging. Because of a mixup her roommate is Slater. The downfall of having a quote, unquote boy’s name.
And oh the “Pleasure Ponies”! (Love this!) What an introduction to the group! The dialogue between these characters is fantastically funny and you can tell that they are brothers from another mothers! They are part of a new Wingman, Inc and they steal the show!
Knox is the one that falls for Shawn and oh how wonderfully he fell. The chemistry between these two was off the charts! The looks, the small touches, the gazes, the small quips between the two. Swoon worthy on so many levels!
There is a bit of angst and some sadness in this story too, but it’s done beautifully. Rachel really knows when to add it in just the right way at just the right time.
I have yet to read a Rachel Van Dyken story and not fall in love with her writing all over again. This spinoff of the Wingman, Inc series is just another prime example of her phenomenal work!
Thank you for your words and the worlds you create Rachel!
When Shawn finds herself sharing a dorm at college with a male she isn’t surprised at all because she always gets took for the male species because of her boyish name. Then she hears the moaning behind the opposite door that sounds very like group fornicating, Shawn is intrigued and immediately wants to know whats going on behind that door. Shawn’s roommate Slater doesn’t do very much explaining on the matter but instead tells her to stay clear of the 3 men behind that door.
Knox Turner is one of those men behind that door and when he finally gets to meet Shawn he is drawn to her like a moth to a flame. However Knox doesn’t get involved with women, it’s been 3 years since it happened and he doesn’t want to be in that place where hearts get broken and bad things happen. His roommates are relentless though and happen to know how he feels. There’s a lot of surprises in store for all of them and the journey hasn’t been an easy one.
The characters in this book are a total hoot and you won’t feel anything towards them but love. The author has given them all unique personalities that would keep you entertained for hours upon hours. The story itself will take you from laughing at the characters antics to gasping at the twists in the story. It has a little of everything and it definitely hots up as well.
Why is it that Rachel Van Dyken always knows what I need when it comes to cheering me up, I mean I was down and hey presto, along comes Co Ed making me laugh a ton of times and reviving my spirit all in one go. I wanted more and I am hoping we get more of these characters. When I read the blurb and saw it was a spin off of Wingman Inc and that it was reverse Harem, I was instantly giddy for this book. It’s Witty, fun, happy and sad all rolled into one. I need more more more and I really hope we get the other guys stories as well.
4.5 stars
When Shawn gets paired up with a male room mate she’s hardly surprised. With a masculine name she’s used to people assuming she’s male because of her name. Luckily enough for her, her roommate Slater is fairly easy to get along with. No so lucky for her her neighbours aren’t exactly discrete judging by the moaning that’s coming from their room. Intrigued as to what’s going on in the three guys room, Shawn gets warned by Slater to stay away from the guys.
Knox, Finn and Leo are unbelievably easy to like. Each character is uniquely different and refreshing in their own way.
This story wasn’t what I was expecting at all and it blew me away. It sucked me in and I didn’t want it to end. This reverse harem romance with Rachel Van Dyken’s own unique twist to it was everything I was hoping it would be and more.
When you can laugh from the beginning of a book and be so engrossed that you miss what’s going on around you…that’s a sign of a truly fantastic story.
Wingmen Inc….is now Knox, Leo and Finn. Goodness gracious me….all that hotness and sweet talking from 3 men….where do I sign up??!! Who wouldn’t want to…attention from three hunks…oh my….
Shawn has just moved colleges. She has to find her way and when her roommate Slater…tells her to stay away from the 3 men across the hall….let’s just say things get very interesting indeed.
This book has so much going for it. Entertaining, witty banter and great friendships that come to be.
I really loved it, loved the drama, loved that there was also an element of shock when certain truths come out about what really happened.
Truly a great entertaining story. Can’t wait to see what this author has next up her sleeve!!
ARC received for an honest review
Not going to lie, when I read “reverse harem” I nearly backed away from Co-Ed, as I have not found a book in this genre that I have liked.
Then I thought “this is Rachel Van Dyken, she won’t steer me wrong” so I picked it up.
I am so glad that I did. Whilst Co-Ed is kinda-sorta RH, what with all the guys enamoured with the girl, it isn’t. There is one main guy in the story, and there are wonderful friendships among them all, it is not really “haremy”.
I adored Shawn and her interactions with the “pleasure ponies” – the good and the bad. These fellas are all kinds of wonderful and I need them in my life.
I laughed right from the beginning of this book, and I was hooked from the start.
It wasn’t what I was expecting – it was better.
I can’t wait to see what Ms Van Dyken brings us next.
This is far from what I expected when I heard it was a spin-off of the Wingmen Inc books. There was several times where I was confused and it took me a bit to catch on to what they were trying to accomplish being “Wingmen”. I get the need to have them be separate and not a continuation of that series but I think I would have liked more than what they did. I like the story but I don’t know something felt like it was missing. I don’t know if it’s the “reverse harem” aspect (I don’t hate that idea. I’m ok with it.) or what. Sometimes if felt like so much attention was focused on the group that I never got to connect with Knox and Shawn as a couple. I loved that the Wingmen were kinda brought back through this book though. This was a fun read and the group was nice to see when they were all together. I loved Finn, Leo and yes even Slater. I hope we get more from them. Lex is still my man but these guys are just as love-able as him and Ian.
