Well this was disappointing. Just like with previous book girl was douchebag but unlike that where there was growth,this one felt like first book in series.
I like Elliott in Oz book but here he didn't make sense sometimes but still "better" part of couple.
Annabelle on other hand I hate let me me give one example “that guy is dating a girl with a speech impediment?” I want to DNF right there coach is cool character same can't be said about his daughter.
They get together fast but in last part of book it's all about her and Rex?!
Anyways best part of book is Zeke and Violet breadcrumbs superior couple of series.

The quotes at the beginning of each chapter is the only reason this has three stars. Otherwise this is a solid two star.

Sara Ney is without a doubt an accomplished douchebag and a strong feisty chick all in that innocent looking package. I have an absolute blast with each one of these books.
These are fun, rowdy, and so romantic. I can honestly say that she gets me everytime. I sigh at the romantic stuff and cringe when its bound to go bad. I ache at the possibility of no HEA. I freaking squeal at the endings though and The Coaching hours really put me through the wringer.
With no shame, the author stabs you in the soft spots right away. Clinches your heart at the first sign of trouble and makes sure you are constantly reflecting on said betrayal.
In short, she keeps you on your toes and occasionally steps on them too.

This was not my favorite of this series. Elliot was one of my favorite characters and I was disappointed in him throughout this whole book. I felt bad for Annabelle and was kind of over the story before it finished. They had undeniable chemistry, but that can only go so far.

This has been such an enjoyable series! Who knew that I could fall in love with such crude, mean jocks? How to Date a Douchebag: The Coaching Hours is by far the least douchey of all the books. In fact, it’s a really sweet end to the series.
Throughout the series, Coach Donnelly has been depicted as such a curmudgeon in the locker room. However, at home he’s… well, he’s even more prickly when it comes to protecting his baby girl. By baby girl, I mean his 20-year-old transfer student daughter, Anabelle. You’d think the hockey players would heed Coach’s warning not to go near her, but you’d think wrong.
In the midst of being targeted by some tasteless jerks, Anabelle finds a savior in the form of one decent guy. She’s anxious to move out of her parents’ home, and he just so happens to have a room to rent. There’s such ease and warmth between the two unexpected roomies. Their chemistry is wonderful.
There’s a little bit of drama and the characters make some stupid choices, but the story is endearing nonetheless. Surprisingly, I wound up loving one of the characters whom I’ve always found to be incredibly irritating.
The entire How to Date a Douchebag series is highly entertaining, and this book is a welcome addition.

I give this a solid 2.75-3.00
My biggest thing was that it was written like two halves of two separate stories. Also, I think the plot was a little all over the place. I don't feel like there was enough written about Elliott & Ana. I think the beginning of their relationship (in the first half of the book) started out really well. There was also not enough character development for the supporting characters mainly Ana's parents, & Elliott's family. I feel like the "revenge" plot between Ana, Eric, & Rex was pointless.
This whole story paints Ana with a "green/wet-behind-the-ears" look. I could not STAND how things between her and Rex were going. Especially after how he treated her in the beginning of the story. I was hoping for a bigger redemption for Elliott even though he was actually really nice and had only minor flaws. The plot was a bit cliche. I think the story needed more written between the "pre-pregnancy" and "pregnancy" stages. There is just a really noticeable shift that broke the book up to me honestly. I won't be reading the other books in the series.

Sigh. The How to Date a Douchebag series has been such a fun read for me. I'm really sad to see it end. Please, Sara Ney, say it ain't so! Because I want MORE, MORE, MORE!
I wasn't quite sure how this book was going to work minus the douchebags, but you know what? I was pleasantly surprised at how swoony and angsty it was. I wasn't prepared for this one to hit me in the heart so hard. I absolutely loved it.
Anabelle and her hero were such a great match. And while it didn't have the typical douchebags I've come to know and love, there were some cameo appearances from some of my old faves.
The Coaching Hours is now probably my favorite one of the series. And while I commend an author going out on a high note, I'd still like her to write more of them. Thanks for the fantastic series, Sara.

This one was a sweet friends to lovers romance that I could get one board with. She’s the wrestling coach’s daughter and all his players are warned away from her. Elliot isn’t a wrestler, but determined to graduate and make something of himself. Anabell just wants to be her own person and get out of her fathers house. Elliot and her become roommates and slowly grow to more.
They fall for each other but that hasn’t changed Elliot’s plans for leaving at the end of semester. They keep in contact, but then Ana finds out she’s pregnant. She doesn’t tell Elliot until he makes an early surprise trip home. He still leaves, and makes no promises to her. Until he randomly show back up on her doorstep proclaiming his love for her. This was a sweet read, even though surprise babies aren’t my fave.
