I was such a big fan of this series, but the final installment left me feeling disappointed.
Spoiler The overall storyline was decent until the last 30-40%, and then came completely unraveled. It was almost a different book. Elliot up and leaving, Ana's pregnancy, the love triangle with Rex, the abrupt ending, and Elliot being completely forgiven after the way he treated Ana...Just no.


I adored the first three books and will still recommend those to book friends. Definitely in the minority, but this is one finale I did NOT enjoy.

I was not sold on the couple. I dont think they have real feelings for each other or can be in it for the long haul.

To say I’m a bit disappointed in this book would be understatement.
With the series being “how to date a douchebag” I expected them all to be about the douchebags on the wrestling team.
They’re not bad books, just not at all what I was expecting. If she would have ended up with Rex that would have made more sense to go with the theme of the stories.

5 bazillion "television" loving stars!

I have followed this series from day one. It is one of my favorites. But THIS. This is the book I have been waiting on for so long. Let me just tell you, Sara absolutely nailed it.

It is brilliant, hilarious (well, we knew it would be), soul crushing, and just down right everything I hoped it would be and more.

If there is one thing I love about a book, it's the ability an author has to make me laugh and cry at the same time. I love the feels. Must have the feels. My absolute favorite in the series by far. She captured it all. She captured everything that I as a reader look for in the words.

Excellent. Truly excellent! 💛🖤

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.
