Read through Kindle Unlimited. I enjoyed this book of a female soccer team (ULA) whose former coach has been fired and one of their members has left them team with rumors swirling of an elicit romance between them. Simon is a twenty-seven year old assistant coach in another state, in the states from England on a work visa. He gets a call offering him the job of coach answering a dream of a lifetime. Upon his arrival in the first meeting with the team, the team's captain, Catya, makes his heart skip a beat and she is enthralled with him. With the trouble the team has just gone through this seems like a hopeless situation for any kind of relationship to flourish. But the heart wants what the heart wants!

Mmmm. Coach stories run the lines of professor stories for me, they are just seriously hot! Lulu Pratt really does this justice in this latest release. Catya is captain of the university's girls soccer team and they just happen to get a new coach. One that is only a few years older than them, is super hot and they just can't resist each other. A great book about finding love, overcoming obstacles and teamwork. Great read! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Catya and Simon are smoldering from the very beginning. Lulu has hit the nail on the head with this story, she’s brought out the physical, emotional and ethical parts of this romance and makes you beg for their romance to be able to continue to an HEA. I really enjoyed this book Andre look forward to more. I’m voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.

Well written book with an interesting story line. Once I started it I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between Catya and Simon is hot. Lulu Pratt did a great job on it.

This book wasn't that great. There was virtually zero relationship building, and I don't feel like I got to know the characters at all.

Forbidden relationships are my favourite romances and this one was beautifully done.
Catya is the captain of the women's soccer team at ULA. She's an all-star athlete, excellent role model and serious student. The women she leads look up to her, respect her and always have her back. The team is hoping that this year will culminate in a championship win, but their hopes are dashed when their head coach is suddenly let go.
Rumours swirl and tongues wag, but Catya doesn't have time to worry about why the coach is gone, all that matters is that they are starting from scratch with a brand new coach and it's too late in the season to be playing get to know you games.
Simon, the newly hired coach shows up and turns the team on their head. He's young, gorgeous, British and did I mention gorgeous? There is no lack of whispered comments, giggles or drool amongst the young women, but all of them, including Simon, know that it is both career and scholastic suicide when a player and a coach get romantically involved.
After many blushes, giggles and a handful of silly hazing pranks towards the new coach, the women are ready to get down to business and work towards one simple goal. That of winning the championship. The captain and the coach have the same goal in mind, but their minds are also being diverted by the intense sexual attraction between them. The electicity between them is wild and will they/won't they cross the line moments are agonizingly delicious and help to create the sparks for their seductively slow burn romance.
Unable to take the high road any longer, Catya and Simon decide to make the most of a team road trip and the results (outside of the magical bedroom) are disastrous. When the truth of Catya's betrayal comes out, the team turns on her and she and Simon are forced to examine their feelings.
How much are they willing to give up for their new, but intense relationship? For Simon it could ultimately mean deportation, upon losing his job and thus his work visa. For Catya her dreams of either making it to the US Olympic team or her solid back up plan of med school, could all go up in smoke if she loses her scholarship. Can Catya convince the women on her team to give her a second chance? A captain without the trust of her team might as well not be playing anyways.
Extremely sexy and seductive forbidden college romance. This college sports romance includes a couple of steamy locker room shower scenes that will have you reaching for the cold tap to cool off! ;) Catya and Simon were fabulous together and their love story sucked me in from the start. I didn't want to put it down once I got going.
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC in exchange for an honest review, but I'll be adding this to my wish list to purchase anyways. I loved it!

HITTING IT HARD!!!
OMG! Can you believe this? Wow! Did someone say sizzling? If there's smoke, there's fire. This is an exceptional read that hooks you from the start and reels you in for the duration. You have all the drama, suspense and action that just keeps coming. The characters are intriguing, complex and realistic with a broad range of personalities that draw you in. The heat and chemistry between the two main characters are explosive and white hot. The scenes were so vividly detailed and descriptive that it gives the illusion you were right there in the middle of ground zero with them. Twists and turns abound with unexpected surprises and nerve racking results. The flames are so hot you can feel the heat. Lulu did an incredible job bringing this read to life flawlessly. Great job Lulu, thanks for sharing this remarkable read with us.

Catya has been focused on her schooling and soccer team so she hasn't really dated much. When the team learns that they are getting a new coach they figure the rumors of a forbidden relationship between coach and player was true. Simon just wanted to be able to advance in his career as coach but that wasn't happening in London so when he got offered a chance to coach in the states he jumped at it. Sparks fly between Simon and Catya but its not allowed for them to date so the fight their attraction until one drunken practice has her letting loose and Simon figuring out how she feels for him. Will they take a chance and be with each other? Will they lose everything they've worked for by giving into temptation?
This was a great story once I started it I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between Catya and Simon is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this to any book lover.

Lulu Pratt is one of my go to favorite authors and my favorite romance reads are sports romances so it's easy to say this one definitely kicked the winning goal! Catya and Coach Simon had a connection neither of them planned on or were going to do anything about. There was too much to loose for both of them personally plus how could it not negatively affect the team. Head into the unknown with Coach Me to see what happens when fate has these two individuals trying to fight it and control their chemistry at every kick and drill. This one is filled with angst, heart and heat along with having you hooked. This book is loaded not only with Coach Simon's drills for the team but Simon's individual drills for Catya! Definitely Recommend this Hot & Steamy Sports Romance Coach Me!

They start getting closer but they learn that the last coach left because he was involved with one of the team players. Now Catya and Simon want each other but what can they? Will they find a way to be together without anyone getting in trouble? I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

It's a definite no-no, but Simon and Catya have an immediate chemistry that jumps off the page. She's been focused on school and playing on the soccer team, and Simon comes to coach in the States to further his career. They fight the attraction, but it seems to grow regardless. It's fantastic to see both of their personalities come out as the romance progresses, and it's even better to see how they handle the attraction. The writing is excellent, and I was totally caught up in this love story with heart. This is a voluntary review of an advance reader copy.

I love bad boy and fobidden romances. I love sports romances. This is a mix of that and what could be better. Well written with nice storyline and plot. Nice chemistry and characters that are well described. They develop nicely through the story. It is written in dual POV which gives the reader more of the thoughts and feelings of the main characters and thereby make the reader feel to be closer to the characters.
Drama, deceit, romance, lust and hot scenes makes it a great read.
Recommandable to others.

This was an amazing tale of forbidden attraction! I have read many of Lulu Pratt's books and loved them all- this was no exception. Who doesn't love a forbidden love story? This was Catya and Simon's story. Catya is on the university soccer team and Simon is the new coach. Lets just say the attraction between them was undeniable. A perfect summer read. Just be sure you have a tall glass of ice water to cool you off after reading this one! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

I have warm fuzzies! Such a sweet, sweet ending *love eyes*
I am a total sucker for forbidden romances and this is definitely up there among my favourites.
There was a bit of drama, a bit of deceit and a bunch of hot AF sex - the perfect recipe for a quick easy read. My only complaint is that it felt a bit short... I want more Simon and Catya! That being said, it’s totally fantastic!

A hot college Soccer love story between the Captain, Catya and its Coach, Simon. Their characters and the team characters were well written. The team had unique personalities that were dynamic. The antagonist, David was, even a good weasel-like character.
This was a light, romantic read...perfect for the summer and for some sunbathing.
Enjoy!

I love the way Lulu writes. The book is exciting and just the right amount of heart ! With the sizzling passion to keep you intrigued! Catya is the team captain of the women’s soccer team. When they get a new coach no one was expecting him to be so hot! Liam is young but he knows he can take the girls to the championship. But he didn’t know he would start feeling attracted to Catya. He makes her have wicked thoughts too. I loved this book. I obtained an arc and left a honest review.

Well, what can you say? Lulu's new book is freaking scorching hot. A forbidden sport romance that is full of romance and more. Loved it. Simon and Catya ate really great together. You can feel their chemistry from the first time they meet. Such a great story and I loved that the sport involved was soccer instead of the usual football or baseball. Lulu's best work yet.

If there’s one thing to be said about this book between Catya and Simon, it is that the slow burn between them is hot. Their chemistry and attraction towards each other is natural and electric, not to mention their status as team captain and coach of said team is considered taboo. This was a very enjoyable read. It had my heart beating quite rapidly in anticipation. I received this book for a voluntary, completely honest and non incentivized review.

I enjoyed this new story from Lulu Pratt. It was a touch on the forbidden side because he's the coach but it's very enjoyable story. There is definitely some great chemistry and passion between Cayla and Simon. Both determined individuals but in different ways. The story is entertaining with a little drama and angst.
