THERE ARE NO DOUCHEBAGS IN THIS STORY.Well, there are, but they’re not who this story is about. This story is about me—the coach’s daughter.When I moved to Iowa to live with my dad, the university’s take-no-prisoners wrestling coach, I thought transferring would be easy as pie—living with my father would be temporary, and he’d make sure his douchebag wrestlers left me alone.Wrong on both counts.… left me alone.
Wrong on both counts.
ASSHOLES ALWAYS COME OUT OF THE WOODWORK WHEN THE STAKES ARE HIGH.
A bet is placed, and I’m on the table. After one humiliating night and too much alcohol, I find the last nice guy on campus. And when he offers to rent me his spare bedroom, I go all in. It’s time for the nice guy to finish first.
Midnight chats and spilling my problems turn to lingering touches. Lingering touches turn to more.
And the ultimate good guy has the potential do more damage than any douchebags ever could.

This d-bag was good people when it came to understanding and listening to his leading lady, “stuff? You mean act like effing idiots? I have no freaking idea since I generally try not to act like one.” Our girl’s dad loved to embarass her lord have mercy, “I guess with a name like *****, I didn’t realize you came with a ****s. I assumed you’d have a *****a.” Holy freakin’ wow I adored this book, of course Zeke is my main man, but this d-bag has a place in my heart.
4.5 what a way to finish a series Stars! Devoured this read. Enjoyed the twist and direction this one took. Definitely different as each one in the series are. Highly recommend this book and series!
**SPOILER ALERTS BELOW!!**
Early February Sara Ney came out with another stunner in her How to Date a Douchebag series. This time, it’s the Coaching Hours.
This addition to the series was a little different. First, we get to see Elliot, Sebastion “Oz” Osbourne and Zeke Daniels’ roommate from the first two books in the series. I, for one, was so excited to see Elliot’s return! But, Elliot is not a douchebag.
Elliot’s love interest? The wrestling coach’s daughter, Anabelle. And Anabelle is not a douchebag either.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. But where are the douchebags?
The douchebags come in the form of Rex Gunderson, wrestling team manager, and Eric Johnson, member of the wrestling team. These two knuckleheads bet on who can get into Anabelle’s pants first. But Anabelle isn’t having it.
Anabelle moves in with her father, the Coach. Although she loves him, she wants to get her own place. While searching for an apartment, she overhears the wrestlers talking about Gunderson and Johnson’s bet. Anabelle and Elliot meet in the library, after Anabelle overhears some guys in the gym talking about the bet. Then Elliot meets her again at a party when she gets very drunk. Elliot, the sweet guy that he is, takes care of her. He helps her when she’s sick, and helps drive her back to her house in the morning. Anabelle realizes he has an extra room in his small apartment, so asks to move in.
Elliot’s thoughts? “What if she decides to walk around the house with no pants on and I have to see her ass cheeks? What if I like it?”
They move in together, and Anabelle gets her revenge on the boys, while she slowly falls for Elliot, and Elliot falls for Anabelle. The problem? Elliot is leaving once he graduates. He’s moving to another state for school.
Sara Ney has done it again with this installment. She also says it’s the final one. *sigh* I so would love to see another douchebag story! The writing, the comedy, the story. Everything about it is fantastic.
And oh the twists and turns! There were some WICKED plot twists that I was not expecting, but were fully appreciated!! This read was 5 stars for me!
And I can’t wait to read more from Sara Ney!
*5 Stars*
ARC kindly received in exchange for an honest review.
I LOVED this book! The 4th instalment in the How to Date a Douchebag series, Sara Ney has nailed it once again.
You know from the blurb that this one is about the Coach’s daughter, but I won’t tell you who the male lead is. I think a lot of people will be very happy. I certainly was, because I was hoping this character would get his own book.
Both main characters work so well together in this one, and the Coach’s daughter is awesome. She’s a real little spitfire when she wants to be, but she’s adorable as well. This one rolled so smoothly and flawlessly, all I could do was hang on for the ride.
Of course we get glimpses of the characters we’ve seen before, which is really nice, but this focuses so much on the chemistry and time the two main leads spend together.
I honestly cannot say enough, READ THIS BOOK! And there’s a surprise thrown in towards the end of the book as well, which I did not see coming. I was not expecting to turn around and actually like one of the characters that I have hated in the past.
I know that Sara has said this is supposed to be the end, but I really hope that maybe one day we do get more from this series. I love it so much, and I think there are still some stories that could be told if Sara is so inclined. But if not, this is a perfect way to round out these books.
Be prepared for the feels – the awkwardness, the laughs, the sexy times (simple scenes but so powerful and hot!), the anger and the tears – this one has it all, but its Sara at her finest, and the world of the Douchebags at Iowa is one I will always love!
If you couldn’t tell, I highly recommend this one!
