Eric McCurdy used to be a lot of things – professional baseball player, husband, and all-around stud. But when another man steals his wife and an injury forces him to give up his career, Eric hits a slump in all matters, until one night, his best friend asks him for a favor. The spank bank is full after that experience, but Eric wants more. He wants something like that for himself.
Alene Victor … himself.
Alene Victor believes she doesn’t have much to offer. She recently lost her boyfriend. Her job is odd hours, and her body feels out of sorts. When a friend of a friend recommends late nights at the gym, she’s hoping for more than a typical workout. She needs physical education in all matters. Her ex said she was boring. She’s hoping her new athletic trainer can change that for her.
In a consensual relationship where two lost souls come together, they learn they are worth so much more, especially to each other.
The Athletic Trainer is a quick and steamy read of pure pleasure.
You might enjoy When the Handyman Comes first; however, this book may be read as a standalone.

This is novella that is sexy, dirty, hot and fast paced. It is hot, hot, hot. Be warned you will want a trainer after reading this.
“The Athletic Trainer” is part of a series of titles that can be read as standalones, but if you want to read them all here’s the best order:
1 – The Doctor Will See You
2 – When the Handyman Comes
3 – The Athletic Trainer
I absolutely loved book 2 – have yet to read book 1 – and I after reading, I immediately preordered this one.
In the previous story, Eric gave us a sneak peek of his … naughty side and I couldn’t wait to get to know more.
This story is hot, filthy, deliciously kinky and has a HEA.
What more can we ask for?
Wowza!! What a great book! 5 hot blazing stars for this one!
Eric, a personal trainer, who has special training routines for special clients. So when a woman Alene, comes his way sent by a friend, at first he doesn’t realizes the special training she’s there for, but
once he finds out, at her next session, hold on to your seat, your in for one wild hot ride!
Lana just keeps writing books that get hotter and hotter! Grab this one asap!
These books keep getting better! They are hot and sexy, but by the end you fall in love!! Lana Brazen keep up the awesome writing!!
Alene is a woman whose last relationship was a total bust. Eric is an ex baseball player now personal trainer. A friend suggests Eric as a trainer to Alene. Sparks fly and these two are all kinds of hot. This book is a quick read full of hot and steamy sex scenes and awesome chemistry. If you are looking for a quick, steamy, and sinfully sexy read, then this series is for you.
What a short, steamy and sinful read. This is the perfect beach read but be forewarned it is incredibly hot!!! Lana packed in so much in this story that has 5000 tons of hotness and has some really good feels built in. Eric is an athletic trainer who does a little more than train athletes and Alene is referred to him by a friend of hers. Truly this was a sweet (not an innocent sweet but a feels sweet) read but incredibly hot and left me with a smile.
Oh My …..Fanning self! Lana has once again given us a hot, erotic short read with more than just a physical connection . Eric has retired from baseball due to an injury, he has lost at love and now finds himself a bit unfulfilled as an athletic trainer. Alene has had her heart, self esteem and ego bruised in her last relationship so now maybe a bit of physical relief will help her get her groove back.
This couple is brought together by need and circumstances but they soon each begin to sense the needs of one another and that surpasses their physical release ! Their connection may just surprise both of them . Get ready for a steamy sensual ride with this couple .

Review for The Athletic Trainer by Lana Brazen
5 star super steamy read
I absolutely am becoming addicted to Lana’s novellas and books. The Athletic Trainer is the third book in this series after The Doctor Will See You ( read it!), and When the Handyman Comes ( again read it!) I love that each story involves a couple over 40. Having turned 40 myself this year I can attest your sex drive doesn’t go away. The sex scenes are soooo hot and written very very well. The connection between Eric and Alene is hot from their first meeting but you feel the emotional connection as well. I’m most impressed by the fact that Lana doesn’t gloss over insecurities, grey hair, wrinkles etc. Nope she goes out of her way to show how all that can be sexy and lovable. That is a message so many women forget that we are lovable because of our imperfections not in spite of them. She also does an excellent job highlighting that when the right two people are together and have trust that branching out during sex becomes fun and easy.
Oddly Lana Brazen’s writing style reminds me a lot of Merry Farmer’s writing style. Merry writes primarily historicals so that’s not the parerrel I meant. It’s the fact that both women write about different ages of lovers, lovers with the desire to Branch out sexually. Merry’s Silver Foxes is very reminiscent of the themes in Lana’s stories.
The fun thing to me is that you can read these stories as light steamy reads. You can let yourself think about them more deeply and how aging changes our views of the world and ourselves. If like me you are over 40, or you have self image issues you can find inspiration in the women who brave new experiences.
Triggers: anal, menage, casual sex
This was one hell of a workout! Blazen turns up the steam in her 3rd erotic novella. Alene is a beautiful, curvy woman. Her boyfriend just broke up with her and she’s tired of that game, so she decides to “play” another. Enter Eric, retired major league baseball player and major hottie! This book is freaking hot!! Part of this story may involve more than just our couple, if you know what I mean. Can Alene keep herself from wanting more? Can Eric control the sudden jealousy he has regarding Alene?
I highly recommend this series by Lana Brazen. The Athletic Trainer was a steamy weekend read! You don’t want to miss a workout from Eric. Grab this hottie now! One insta-hot, insta-love story! 4.5 stars
5 ‘Burn your fingers’ stars!!!
The Athletic Trainer is the third book by new author Lana Brazen. It’s the hot and dirty story of Eric and Alene.
Eric works at the gym that Alene has come to, looking for something… personal. At first, Eric thought it was just regular training, but that’s not why she was there. Cue, some scorching scenes and two people who didn’t expect to meet, who just happen to complement one another.
Lana Brazen certainly knows how to set a story on fire. She did it with the first two, and this one is just as volcanic.
Best read with fire-proof gloves!!!
This story was just what I needed and just when I needed it. Concentrating on a story hasn’t been easy amongst the chaos of the world (and life in general) and I needed something to just get me out for a bit and this one fit the bill. Short…not so sweet…in fact not at all sweet but superbly, wonderfully steamy and hit all the spots for me. Beaten down by someone they loved, both in different ways, just looking for a wonderful, physical outlet. Sometimes though, what you never were looking for or maybe always were looking for comes from a truly unexpected place. Will you roll with it? Or throw it away thinking it isn’t even remotely possible?
Lana Brazen’s latest passionate tale takes us to the gym where we find two lonely people; the shy student, and the sensual and hands-on teacher. What happens during their private lesson, is anyone’s guess.
Alene needed reassurance that she was desirable, sexy and worth spending time with. She was searching for someone to show her how to feel, how to touch, and how to open her eyes to a world of new beginnings. Her search led her to Eric who was patient, sexy and knew how to make her respond. He was a dream come true and someone she could easily fall for. Could he be the one to help her break out of her shell and embrace her sensual side? Eric needed an outlet to relieve his restlessness and it would take more than his usual workout regime. He had been alone a long time and he needed someone who wanted him for who he really was and not because of his fame. Alene was different then most of the women he met, and there was something about her that lit a spark in his heart. He wanted to help her find an appropriate workout to fulfill her needs, and he intended to satisfy Alene until she was begging for more.
Eric owns a gym and is divorced so he doesn’t trust easily after his ex wife cheated on him. Alene is down on her luck and looking for a good time. A friend suggests she visit Eric’s gym. Eric ends up becoming her trainer but so much more than that after the chemistry develops between them. This book is steamy hot with a dirty talking alpha male. If you like filthy this is your kind of story.
I have loved each installment of this “series” from Lana Brazen. I feel that each book pushes my reading sensibilities to new heights. I have fallen for DR. James, Andrew the Handyman and now the Athletic Trainer, Eric. I feel he is probably the sweetest, most romantic of the three so far while still being the one to push us to new heights of pleasure. I definitely would be in the same category as Alene if I was still 40 – LOL!! I hope you will love these two as much as I did. I also hope there will be more of these quick pleasurable reads from Lana Brazen as well.
