The now disgraced Ethan Cross was the last man to stand at the top of professional sports before history left him behind. Once celebrated across the world, he now wants nothing more than to be forgotten.
When a childhood friend shows up at his secluded cabin with some grim news and an unexpected offer, it forces him back into a life he never wanted to return to. Coaching at a sports college filled with the beast girls he can’t stand.
Learning to forgive the past might be impossible, but if Ethan can shape the next generation of beast girls into champions, he might discover there's more than one way to become a legend.
And more than one beast girl is eager for some personal training.
I made it through the first 3 chapters of this book before I decided to DNF it. I just didn't like the MC.
The MC is an Olympic level athlete in track in an era where 1 in 10K girls born are beast girls. Beast girls that are stronger and faster than even the top tier male athletes. But the MC is that one special guy that's actually better than the best beast girls. So he goes on to win a bunch of Olympic gold and silver medals while beating his rivals. And through it all, he comes off as arrogant, cocky, and obnoxious.
During those 3 chapters, you also get the Reader's Digest condensed version of the Reader's Digest condensed version of his romance with a college reporter he eventually moves in with together. We have no reason other than a few paragraphs of why they are together, and it's implied they won't be for long. I don't know how it pans out, though, because my disdain for the MC had me putting the book down late at night. And when I tried to read it the next morning, I felt a big case of "nope" come over me.
I enjoyed this story. BUT the beginning and the MC's anger lasted way longer than it took to get the message across. I nearly quit reading. After we managed to get that out of the waythe story was engaging and fun. Very glad I struggled through. I will wait for the next offering with anticipation.
