Review: The Sex Coach by Garrett Leigh
SYNOPSIS:
The teacher and the student. The stable hand and the single dad. First times and friendship turn to love.
Toby
There’s nothing attractive about a twenty-four year old virgin, especially not one who blushes every time a hot dude looks his way. But I can’t help the heat that ripples through me every time I see Cole Maguire. And the clench of my heart when I realise how unhappy he is. He’s a city boy with a baby on his hip—we have nothing in common—but if he can teach me how to own my sexuality, perhaps I can teach him he’s worth loving.
Cole
I don’t like horses. But I love my daughter, and there’s nothing I won’t do for her, including leaving the city for life on a farm. I’m ready for that, but I’m not ready for blushing stable hands who make my heart race and my blood run hot. Toby has no idea how beautiful he is. I can teach him that, if he can handle the heat, but after one night with him…damn.
Maybe it’s me that has a lot to learn.
REVIEW:
I think I stumbled across this book on another Goodreads deep dive, which is my typical method for finding new-to-me authors. I liked this story, but I didn’t love it.
Toby and Cole, as individual characters, lacked depth. They were very one-dimensional and almost seemed to be floating through the book on auto-pilot. I know nothing about these individual men, outside of a few details critical to the story line. As a couple, they were cute. There is definitely palpable tension and energy between the two. But outside of a few tender moments, their relationship felt very much insta-love.
I think this stems from the lack of conversations between the two. They were constantly jumping into bed and into ‘lessons’ but as the story progressed, I was disappointed to see the narrative didn’t develop further. Otherwise, it was just a light read, the perfect type of palate cleanser book. It doesn’t weigh heavy on the mind, the characters are forgettable, and it ends with an HEA. *shrugs*
