Coach Me Kindle Edition

Coaching was never this difficult...until the rookie came along.

I had no idea Amber Lakes would become a constant light in my miserable life.
Her smile isn't supposed to warm my heart and the sight of her tears isn't supposed to make me want to protect her.

We're not supposed to touch, let alone kiss. We definitely aren't supposed to exchange hidden stares while we're around each other. But I've fallen too hard for her, and despite how big the risks are, I can't seem to pull away from her now.

None of this was ever supposed to happen because she's my track student, and I'm her coach...and I could lose everything if we get caught.

5.0 out of 5 stars Age gap romance at its best
Reviewed in Australia on 19 May 2020

I loved the themes of this book, age gap is one of my favourite types of book to read. I loved the coach/student relationship and the issues it deals with such as racism. There were many times I wanted to sleep Torrez in the face but no ones perfect and their love story was great to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A story for all the forbidden romance - age gap fans.
Reviewed in Australia on 16 May 2020
A well-written forbidden romance story starring Joaquin the sizzling hot athletics coach and his star athlete Amber. This is not typically my trope of choice, but Shanora WIlliams has done a fantastic job at drawing the reader into this relationship - so much so that I stopped noticing the age gap unless it was actually mentioned directly in the book.
There are some heavy topics in here around race in particular and the discrimination that so many people are facing in their everyday lives.

I enjoyed this book for the most part. Story starts out strong but then all feels a bit rushed and predictable from about half way through.
Still a nice read though and am still keen for Shanora’s next book. They are always good reads with some great moments!

Shanora brings the HEAT in this sexy age gap romance.

Torres was broody, moody and down right sexy. He had a charm about him I found sexy and even his rudenss was sexy. Maybe I'm weird.

Amber was tough and stood by her roots I loved that she didnt take any crap form anyone.

Shanora wrote about a topic that is still even to this day out there and I loved that she took us to that aspect of it. The depth and soul in these characters made for a captivating read.

Torres and Amber had passion, depth, angst and drama all in one delcious read.

This story pushed boundries and drama and I loved that it took you on those rides.

A book that deals with race, love, drama and loss. Every page keeps you intruiged and gasping for more.
I couldn't love this book more if I tried.

I love a good age gap romance story and Shanora hits those out of the park.

Torres will have you gasp, smile and bite your lip with his mouth, but don't worry Amber will have you smiling just as big this girl is tough and she keeps Torres on his toes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Taboo's galore
Reviewed in Australia on 14 May 2020
Coach Me is a taboo age gap / teacher student story based around Torres and Amber.

Amber is a young College student who falls for her older trainer Coach Torres, feeling like she has to prove herself even more Amber pushes herself, she wants to be the best female runner out there. Coach Torres pushes all of his athletes, but when he meets Amber he connects with her on more than just a physical level; is it worth the risk? To lose everything they both have worked for?

While I enjoyed the story and the taboo age gap / student teacher plot I found it hard to connect with both characters. There was a lot of other taboo subjects that were addressed throughout this story, I personally felt that it was a lot to take it.

Williams is a new to me author and I look forward to reading more from her in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Risking It All...A Sexy Forbidden Romance
Reviewed in the United States on 11 May 2020
Verified Purchase
Amber Lakes is headed to college on a full ride track scholarship. She’s worked her whole life to get to this point. Her determination, drive and sacrifices are what have made her successful.

Choosing BU was a risk for her. Their track team was not culturally diverse. She’d be one of the only women on the team of color. Amber was about to shake things up. Her skill level was already intimidating, but package that with her beauty and her positive attitude, she was a triple threat. She was tough and that thick skin would be necessary, because the racism amongst her own team was going to rear it’s ugly head.

She found her friend circle and a coach that would go to bat for her. Coach Joaquin Torres was not going to allow any discrimination or unsportsmanlike conduct on his team. However, he had no problem expecting the best. Pushing her beyond her limits. Making her work harder than ever. He wanted her to be the champion he knew she was.

Coach Torres was broody, a bit of a loner, but no one could deny how hot he was. He expected his team to give it their all on the track. Coaching a women’s college team was not without it’s challenges, especially when you had your own attraction to one of your runners.

Keeping a professional distance from women you work closely with is hard, but one you share an intense connection with is nearly impossible. Lines are blurring. The tension is at an all time high. Someone is going to break. Resisting the pull between them is impossible, no matter how hard they fight it.

The taboo queen has returned with a super sexy forbidden romance. She delves into relevant topics and doesn’t hold back. We’ll see the ugly side of humanity and the lack of basic human decency. We’ll watch them struggle between doing what’s right and following their hearts. The chemistry will absolutely sizzle. Joaquin is a man who wants to protect Amber, but he also can't let her go. He knows any personal relationship between them is prohibited, but he can't help himself. She knows what's on the line for them both, but the risk is worth it. Both characters struggle with their choices and the consequences that unfold. Their romance is not smooth sailing, but their love is strong. Amber and Joaquin are committed to getting their HEA. A sexy read you will thoroughly enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Age is a number
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2020
Verified Purchase
Shanora always seems to write a very moving , thought provoking book. This particular book is following that trait. We have a possible tutor, student romance. However age is a number, and love doesn’t always have these boundaries. Joaquin Torres is a Hispanic handsome, coach for a university. Amber is a beautiful black athlete track even tee, who has won a scholarship to a predominantly white college. As you can surmise this book has some dreadful racist moments. It is handled with passion and sympathy by the author and portrayed by some very hostile characters . Both Joaquin and Amber are initial drawn to each other, due to the closeness of coach, athlete’s work commitments. Eventually the lines are crossed. This book is full of emotion, tender heart rendering moments, and unbelievable hatred of fellow humans, just because they aren’t white. Once started this book is very difficult to leave alone, and once put down the scenes play out in your mind. As ever a great book by a great author and well worth a go.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well Coached!
Reviewed in the United States on 24 February 2021

Amber and Joaquin were never supposed to be together. She was a highly successful track star just arriving at her "whitewashed" Ivy League school, and he just happened to be her coach. Their backgrounds were similar, minorities who loved track, coached and supported by their fathers, only to lose the men who meant the most to them before they were ready. Amber faces criticism and lies from the popular senior girl on the team, she gets away with a lot because her dad's a big donor. She endures a very racist coach, who she hears Joaquin put into her place concerning Amber. He becomes very protective of Amber quickly. They eventually have a moment at a carnival he's working with his mom after she sees the guy she's dating with another girl. They end up literally rocking a boat, but stop before going too far. A relationship between them could ruin both of their futures. They figure things out eventually and boy do things get hot and heavy. They make it to the last day of her freshman year without getting caught until head coach Hamilton walks in on them in a celebratory kiss. Joaquin resigns, Amber keeps her spot on the team, and coach doesn't say a word. Can their relationship survive the distance between the Carolinas and Florida the next three years?

It's a nice book with some really lovely writing but I have to admit to skipping or just skimming some pages.
Some parts were very heavy with words/ discriptives/ filler that made the reading a bit hard going.
Lovely story, great storyline but needs the filler removing and replacing either with content or jst plain removing.
I did really enjoy all the characters.
