The Rachel Experiment

Rachel is a financial analyst who is not good with people. When she gets a promotion to lead a team in San Francisco, her boss makes it clear that she has to succeed. She pledges to improve her social skills and goes out to a bar on her first night in town. She ends up having a one-night stand with Luke. They’re both surprised when they see each other again, but they realize they can help each other: he can help with her social skills and she can consult on his new business.
They pledge to keep it professional, but this is a rom-com, so there is chemistry and complications. Overall, this was a cute and entertaining romance but not a standout.

As a financial analyst, Rachel Bai is more comfortable with numbers than people. When her boss promotes her to head a team in San Francisco, his message is clear—she has one year to build a successful team and become an effective leader. Rachel sets out to discover how to be more comfortable interacting with people, but a drunken night meant for research results in a mechanical bull ride and a one-night stand with a sexy stranger—definitely not part of her plan.
Attorney Luke Trudeau is intrigued by the mysterious woman who’s determined to put their night together firmly in her rearview mirror. So when Luke sees Rachel again, he proposes a deal: he’ll smooth out her rough social edges and teach her to charm clients if she’ll help him devise a financial plan to open his own practice.
It seems like a win-win, but Luke breaks the rules by falling in love. Can he convince Rachel that what they have is real and, when it comes to love, there are no set rules?
