Story
CEO millionaire Max Fletcher is a single dad in desperate need of a nanny. Cozy Barlow is in the middle of her self-appointed “gap year” and doing everything she can to detach from her past. But when her sister begs her to interview for the nanny position of a high-maintenance client, she doesn’t have a good enough reason to say no. And when Max locks eyes on the 20-something in a tie-dye sweat suit who pitches the idea of daydreaming all summer—he prepares to give this bad nanny the boot.

Story
I didn’t notice her before... but now I do. Once I focus on her, I can’t take my eyes from my newest obsession. I need to know everything about her. Her past. Her present. The way she takes her coffee. Exactly how she smells after a spritz of perfume in the mornings. I notice the organized way she arranges her clothes in her closet. How she visits the same market each Saturday. The sounds of her breathing as I lie beneath her bed in silence. Violet is mine. She just doesn’t know it yet.

Story
Javier Estrada is the king of Mexico. Evil. Twisted. Psychopathic. A cruel madman with a killer smile. And he is my boss. My duty is to blend in, clean his home, and not make a peep. I’ve done my job well for years. I've embedded myself so deep in his world, he’s never going to get me out. But I am this king’s worst nightmare. Bad men like him took everything away from me. I will never forget. He will pay for the sins of many. I’ll just bide my time - watching, waiting, calculating - until the time is right. When I strike, he won’t know what hit him.

Story
I'm a freak, a misfit, an odd end. Abandoned and unloved. But my happiness is so close I can taste it. Until he shows up. Gorgeous, expensive, and all man. Sad brown eyes and a brilliant smile. And he wants me to go with him. His intentions are hidden. His motives are unclear. Yet I leave with him because there's no happiness here. What he promises feels too good to be true.... A castle. A fortune. And horses, too. It's too easy. Nothing in my life has ever been easy. What's the catch? There's always a catch.

She was my first love. She was my first hate. The very sun in my world tried to burn me alive with her lies and cruelty. Until I dimmed her light for good.... Or so I thought. Now she’s back. Cracked. Broken. Lost. And for the first time in a long time, I feel free. Free from our past. Free from my present that suffocates me. Free to destroy her future. Her misery is my music. Thrilling. Invigorating. Intoxicating. For so long, all I’ve done is hate her. So why do I love her?

Three months on a private island. Two men. One million dollars. All I have to do is tame Nash Wilde. It’s been two years since my sister and her boyfriend were killed in a plane crash. The last person I expected to show up on my doorstep was his father, Alistair Wilde. Yet, he came with an offer I’d be an idiot to pass up: be his son’s girlfriend for three months, live with the two of them in a remote house, and the one million dollars is mine.

Story
He was the talented bad boy everyone wanted. I was the irrelevant geek everyone hated. He was the sun...drawing all of us in. I was a black hole...taking up space. He was destined to be a star. I was destined to remain an insignificant no one. Until he made me believe I was special...and then he destroyed me. I never thought I'd see Phoenix Walker again after he broke my heart, but fate had other plans. One tour. Eight weeks. Forty shows. Countless opportunities to make him pay. The world thought he was a god...but I know the truth.

Story
I didn't know she was my student the first time I paid to watch her at Voyeur. Once she walked into my classroom, another smiling college freshman, I knew I should stop going. Stop watching. But I couldn't do it. Everything about her makes me want more, and once I realize she wants me too, the temptation becomes irresistible. The worst part is that she has no idea her professor is the one watching behind the glass. I just have to hope that once she finds out the truth, she wants the same thing I do. Because now that I've seen all of her, I can't look away.

I kissed my father’s best friend, and it kind of didn’t go well. Not only because he’s 18 years older than me - but he also didn’t like it. Not one bit. In my defense, I didn’t mean to fall for him. It just happened. Nathaniel Weaver is the most attractive man I’ve ever seen with enough charisma to blind the sun. He’s bigger than the world, owns half of it, and conquered the other half. He was forbidden. Wrong. So I totally got over him. Or so I told myself. Until we’re forced to get married.

You’ll judge me. Hate me, and tell me I’m wrong. Refuse to see how my darkness is what she needs. While I don’t particularly care about your feelings in the matter, and while I pursue her - despite the wedding bells that rang for another - only I can see how she is drowning beneath mediocrity. He had his chance to make her happy. He failed. He didn't see how she was dying inside, because he couldn't know her. Not like I know her. I am her stalker. Her protector. And the only man that can bring her back to life.

I live in a world where secrecy reigns—a society rooted in power, wealth, and long-held dynasties, where men are kings, and women are pawns. For as long as I can remember, I’ve dreamt of escaping the shackles of my expectations, but it can only ever be a dream. I made a fatal mistake, and those shackles became a cage. Now, I’m trapped in a war with a man who controls my every move. He’s my brother’s best friend. My enemy, my tormentor, and my solace. His words have the power to wound me. His touch just might break me.

Jude "Lucky" Lucketti wasn't just a sexy, brooding construction worker. He was my own personal hero, showing up in all the right places at the right times. Like when my car broke down and I needed a ride home, and when I face-planted on the sidewalk right in front of him and had to be taken to the emergency room. We became friends, and it didn't matter that he was 16 years older than me. We had a lot in common - like our love of old rock music and vintage fast cars and our aversion to relationships.

But of course, there’s a catch - all I have to do to claim my birthright is prove that I’m the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically that’s true, as I’m the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didn’t put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could.

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

This was a dirty little nugget. If you are looking for something short, Taboo (but not too much) with lots of sex this is the book for you. Teacher/Student romance isn't normally my thing because it usually is all drama and thankfully this want that!
The narration was good too!

5 Hurdling Stars
K Webster releases an audio and I’m all over it. The narrators were perfect. Coach Long with his manly alpha voice and River was spunky and completely age appropriate sounding.
River comes hurdling into Coach Long’s life like only a firecracker can. Full of attitude and sass that a coach can surely tame, right?
I tore through this book, stopping for nothing because the way this couple came together had me laughing to hysterics and feeling all the feels. Coach Long is an alpha through and through, making my heart pitter patter and River was so full of grit and spunk, she was a truly relatable character.
Although this is part of the Taboo Treat world, it can be listened as a stand alone. The characters do mix and mingle, they don’t need to be read in any certain order.

I read this book a year and a half ago but never posted my review here so I am rectifying that now.
I have been very eagerly and not so patiently awaiting the release of Coach Long. It is one of K Webster's taboo treats set in her taboo world with several other loosely interconnected books. I have devoured each and every one of them and this was no different.
I loved this book. It had me entranced from the very beginning. I was totally in love with the main female character from the first description we got of her-
o Her name is River Banks
o She has dark hair with pink and purple in it
o She was wearing dark eyeliner with glittery pink shadow
o Her shirt had a beaver on it with the words, "Dam the Man"
o She had rainbow bright socks
o The author likened her to Punky Brewster
That is my kind of character! How could I not love her right away? The main male character is Coach Everett Long. He is a 37 year old math teacher and track coach. He is over 6 feet tall and has a great body complete with abs. I was totally digging him right away too!
Coach Long is an age-gap, teacher / student, contemporary, taboo romance. And before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, River is already 18 years old and totally legal at the start of this book. I know that kind of thing is important to some folks. I'm just happy with a well written book, no matter the age or legality of it. But I digress. To each their own.
Anyway, River and Coach Long are attracted to each other right away and hit it off pretty quickly. Of course, he is her teacher and her coach so this is a big no-no.
Overall, I loved this book. I loved the characters and I also loved that we got to see other characters from some of the other taboo treats that the author has written. I'm so glad that this book is finally out and that I read it.
Although these are all standalone books that can be read in any order, Coach Long takes place just before Ex-rated Attraction. I recommend reading them in order but I prefer everything to follow relative timelines.
I highly recommend all of the taboo treats to those who love taboo.
The already released taboo treats are and the recommended reading order is:
Bad Bad Bad (This is two stories: Brandt’s Cherry Girl and Sheriff’s Bad Girl)
Coach Long
Ex-Rated Attraction
Mr. Blakely
Malfeasance
Easton (Originally titled Preach)
Crybaby
Lawn Boys
Renner's Rules
There are more on the way and I cannot wait to get my hands on them!!

I love K Webster and I love her books. This book was so good. Coach Everett and River were smoking hot together. River is Coach Long's student, 18 and full of spunk. The things these two get up to was hot. Narrators did a great job bringing these characters together. My only complaint is that this story was too short and I wished for more. I would like to find out if anything is going on with River's girlfriend and boyfriend dad.

Dirtyyy
This book was okay. I think that the length was good for the story too. Some books really like to drag things out and if this one would have done that I would not have finished it.
This was a taboo-type Romance of a teacher and student. (She is 18- so not underaged, just barely legal.) I think the narration make it seem even dirtier.
If it was not already presumed, this book is full of sex. That's really all this book is, so if you are looking for a book with a nice romantic storyline, this is not the book for you.
It was a decent book though. If you are looking for a little bit of a taboo and sex with a tiny splash of romance and no angst, give this book a try.

Wasn't the Ending I Thought!
K. Webster is a new favorite author of mine since I had joined Read Me Romance in November of 2018. I've enjoyed a few more of her books since and this book was a Chart Topper for sure.
The narrators were both new for me this time around too. I loved them both and look forward to hearing more from them both!

Super Hot!
This fun and fast moving story is wonderful, flirty and so very sexy. Coach is a hot, amazing guy that falls for one of his students. The taboo of them being together makes this a crazy, sexy and secretive story that kept me riveted. I loved Coach and how he changes through out the story. Amazing and memorable book!!!
