The first kiss I stole. The second, he claimed. This is forbidden. This is taboo. And this is a scandal that could drown us both. My name is Waverly Owens, and I’m in love with my high school swim coach.
I’ve got a crush. He’s gorgeous and brooding, with arms that make my knees week, abs that make me forget how to breath, and good lord does he fill out a swimsuit in all the right ways.
The only problem? He’s ten years older, my mother is his boss, and, oh right, he’s my high school swim coach.
Yeah.
Camden Kirby is what you might call “x-rated” hot. He’s too gorgeous—certainly too gorgeous to be coaching girls high school swimming. Crushing on my coach is one thing. But when I end up creating a fake dating app profile specifically to, well, secretly seduce him? Well, now we’re playing in the deep end.
There’s too much at stake for us to be this reckless, but once we’ve crossed that line, there’s no swimming back, no matter how wrong this is.
I’ve got homework and college apps, he’s got demons, and scars. I’m in over my head, but I want to drown in him. I want to lose myself in him.
This is a story love, lust, and diving in head-first.
…You better take a deep breath.
Each of the Winchester Academy books are completely standalone stories, with no cliffhangers.
As with all my books, this one is safe, with no cheating, and a HEA guaranteed.
#1 bestselling contemporary romance author Madison Faye is the dirty alter ego of the very wholesome, very normal suburban housewife behind the stories. While she might be a wife, mom, and PTA organizer on the outside, there’s nothing but hot, steamy, and raunchy fantasies brewing right beneath the surface!
Tired of keeping them hidden inside or only having them come out in the bedroom, they’re all here in the form of some wickedly hot stories. Single-minded alpha hero, sinfully taboo relationships, and wildly over-the-top scenarios. If you love it extra dirty, extra hot, and extra naughty, this is the place for you! (Just don’t tell the other PTA members you saw her here…)
Steamy like Madison's other books!! Breathless was breathless!!! There was one pet peeve for me.. but that was my personal problem others prob wont care.
Waverley has wanted her swin coach since the first moment she seen him and she tries to gain his attention.. girl even made dating profile so she kinda tricked him... i really don't like my heroines the ones who chase idk why.. but it takes a few tries for Camden to finally stop pushing and go after what he wants.. his reasons are 1. Age and 2. His past. So yeah it is very hot cold from Cam.
Like i said i was tiny disappointed in Wave always pursing him.. i get why he didnt age and his dark past but dang i wanted her to tease him more and have him work for it.
We got a sneak peek for the last book!! Principal Kane is next!!!!

Forbidden love novella about an 18 year old girl and her teacher. Decent smut (specifically sexting), lots of sexual chemistry between main characters, and it's sweet! I enjoyed it.
SAFETY: Age: 18h, unknown older H Cheating: no! OM/OW drama: no! Sex scene with OM/OW: no! Virgin/celibate/manwhore: virgin heroine, unknown past for hero Tropes: forbidden love, age gap, student/teacher HEA?: yes!
Really enjoyed this story about a high school student and her swim coach. I wasn’t exactly thrilled that the heroine kept throwing herself at the hero but I did like that he tried to resist her for a decent amount of time. A nice steamy read that I’ll probably pick up again in the future.
Jesus, I love Madison. She has upped her game on her new series and I am loving it. Waverly is a just aging eighteen-year-old girl who has had a crush on her swim coach for a while now. She takes every step she can to make sure she finds out what he does on his time off. When she decides to sign up for the same online dating app as him and talk to Camden he has no idea he is really sending naughty pictures to Waverly.
Camden didn't ever think of Waverly in a sexual way until he started getting pictures of a girl on a dating app. When they decided to meet up one night Camden is blown away by the adult looking child that is in front of him. Now that the cat is out of the bag will these two be able to stay away from each other?
Camden and Waverly are awesome characters and it should be read.
Just when you think Madison Faye's next book couldn't get any better than the previous one, she goes an writes Breathless, and you are once again left a satisfied puddle of woman. This fast-paced steamy forbidden taboo romance has it all... drama, twists, a physical attraction that is white hot, unstoppable desire, a bit of heartache, burn up the pages scenes that are steamy and delicious, love, and a happily ever after.
I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.
This is definitely one of my favorite books in this series. Camden and Waverly will rock your fracking world. I read this story fast and furiously. I needed to know what happened next! These two have a whirlwind, steamy, undeniable, and unforgettable chemistry that makes you almost wish it was real. An absolute must read!!
ARC review For honest review. 18 year old senior varsity swimmer Waverly Owens has a crush on her swim coach and when she sees that he is in sparkr dating app she joins to meet him on there. Oh my hot burning pages. Awesome story
Another sexy read that I absolutely loved. Waverly & Camden are scorching hot together. Every minute of their story will have you glued too your kindle. Every book in this series is a must read and definitely worth one clicking.
A hotter, wetter, sexier than EVER romance from Madison Faye that set my panties on fire and had my heart melting on the spot! I love these dirty HOT Winchester books! And this one with a sexy as hell swim coach and a younger student was just smoking!
I am loving this series this book we have a swim coach and a student love troupe the connection between these two characters is explosive hot. I couldn't put the book down it was great from the beginning till the end. No spoilers here I definitely can't wait to read Madison next book
Oh yes!!! Now this is what I’ve been missing in this series!!!! The forbiddeness feeling! I just haven’t been really feeling it with some of her other books. But it was strong in this one!!!
3.5 Stars I liked this book. It was a hot, sweet, quick read that I really enjoyed. It gave me exactly what I went into it for and it left me satisfied. It also set up the next book in the series well and I’m super excited to read it!
Hot! Camden is way hot and OTT. Waverly pushes his boundaries until he finally gives in. There’s a bit of heartache with a backstory. They do get a great HEA.
Este es el primer libro de esta autora que leo y es una historia más extensa y me gustó.
Lamentablemente me di cuenta después de haberlo empezado que era el número 6 de la saga, pero no importa, ya que las historias son individuales -pero a la vez los personajes están en cierta forma conectados-. Así que no teman leerlos en desorden jajajaj. Pero si no hay leído ninguno comiencen por el primero XD
Waverly es una estudiante de la Academia Winchester, tiene 18 años, su madre es la vice directora y ella es una muy buena nadadora. De hecho, sus posibilidades de dedicarse en eso profesionalmente son más que elevadas. Ella lo sabe y ama hacerlo, por eso entrena duro.
Sin embargo, su vida amorosa deja mucho que desear. O más bien es inexistente. Hasta que posa sus ojos en Kirby, ni más ni menos que su entrenador.
A escondidas descubre que él tiene un perfil en una página de citas a ciegas y decide inscribirse también -con datos falsos obvio-. Y oh casualidad hace match con él jajaja. Para su sorpresa comienzan a intercambiar mensajes subidos de tono (sexting) y cuando finalmente, deciden encontrarse cara a cara, después de un beso apasionado, Kirby se da cuenta de quién es ella y sale huyendo despavorido.
Kirby, tiene 28 años y hace poco que entrena a los estudiantes de la Academia Winchester. Luego de su pasado doloroso, está dispuesto a llevar una mejor vida en lo posible.....hasta que comienza a sentir cosas por su alumna extrella.
Cuando él se entera de que ha estado enviando fotos y mensajes sucios con ella, quiere darse contra la pared. Pero al mismo tiempo no puede dejar de pensar en Waverly y más aún cuando ella lo enfrenta intentando continuar con el "asunto" en el que estaban.
Al principio Kirby hace todo para resistirse a los avances de Waverly. Sin embargo, ella es persistente e inclusive la situación perfecta de pecado se presenta y bueno, todo lo que puede hacer él es caer.....profundo.
La complejidad de su relación se presenta más avanzado en el libro, cuando son consumidos por su pasión y no pueden mantener las manos alejadas del otro. Pero ambos saben lo que quieren y harán lo que sea para estar juntos.
Si bien la historia no tiene una gran trama de esas que te complican la existencia y el final es cliché, realmente me entretuve leyéndola. Convengamos que en algún momento todos necesitamos leer un poco de romance caliente y prohibido o no?
Muy probablemente le de una oportunidad a los otros libros.
Having read the entire series, this isn't a great book, but it hardly is a bad one, either. I think the angst between the hero (Camden) and the heroine (Waverly) is far better than a previous few books I've been reading. Camden is a well-rounded character, and we do get to see the skeletons in his closet that shaped the way he had been handling Waverly in the first half of the book. Yes, he wants her but there are numerous barriers preventing him from doing so. Waverly is the predator stalking Camden, not knowing about his skeletons but fully understanding the taboo of her having a relationship with her coach. Oops! She finds out soon enough!
One thing I learned, since this is the sixth book in the series, if you're a guy going to Winchester Academy, you're either a sports demigod or you're a douche bag of the first water. Why would that half of the population have to be dweebs? Need a few more stories about some geeks that are actually nice and engaging.
The world-crafting continues to be excellent. Continuity with the other five stories (soon to be six) is superb. After all, all these characters bump into each other throughout this series. (I love the secret tunnels between the dorm buildings! But I still love Chasing Glory's guys' personal dorm rooms!) I only wish there would be more in this series. There are too many characters that need a story!
Other than for the great need of an editor (too many wrong words and broken paragraphs), this is a decent series to invest in. I think I've read this story at least three times, and I know I'll be rereading this series again and again. This story alone is third favorite for sure!
So far this one is my favorite or it shares the top spot with the first in the series.
Waverly is basically the star of the girls swim team at Winchester Academy, Camden is the coach of the swim team. Waverly has had a crush on him since he came to the school, Camden never really looked at her that way though until after she turned 18 and they started chatting and sending nude pics to each other on a dating site. She knew it was him, he didn't know it was her, until they went to meet up.
While Camden is very attracted now, he still puts a distance between them, stating the many reasons why it's not a good idea. Waverly however isn't so easily dissuaded.
This was really hot and I can't wait to read the last in the series.
Also, I don't know who's categorizing this as "Young Adult" but it's not. It's really not. Yes, it takes place in a high school, yes, one of the characters is 18 and a senior, but it's NOT Young Adult.
On thing that did start to bug me were the typos, wrong words, etc. Now, I'm not usually the grammar/spelling police (my grammar is NOT the greatest, I have no leg to stand on when it comes to critiquing others grammar), typos happen, wrong words happen, I'll normally pass those things by. However, I do think the author needs to have someone else just look over her stories. I've noticed a lot of typos, missing words, and wrong words in this series in particular. For example in this one, she constantly used the wrong 'principal', instead she used 'principle' for the Vice Principal/Principal of the school.
La historia trata de Waverly que es la hija de la subdirectora se podría decir y el profesor de natación Camden Kirby, todo empieza cuando ella abre una app de citas con toda la intensión de hacer pareja con su profesor y cuando por fin se conocen lo primero que hace él es besarla y después ver de quien se trataba, después de eso él trata de alejarse de ella sin embargo queda enamorado de ella y termina cediendo a su lujuria.
Me gusto mucho la historia de ellos dos fue linda, algo bueno es que como tal no hubo drama el tema era que se enterara la mamá de ella pero cuando paso se resolvió muy rápido, nada de complicaciones todo muy bien y sobre todo sus llamadas y msj de texto.
Uh uh ... casi hay un Romeo y Julieta aqui en este ... Quiero decir ..... (demasiadas veces diciendo esta frase en el libro se me pego) ... Fue muy romantico. Weberly hija de la directora y mejor nadadora del equipo de natacion de Winchester se enamora perdidamente de su entrenador. Regala su TGV a el y su mama diciendole que era un pervertido cuando era su hija quien lo busco en la app de citas. En fin. campeonato gano Winchester todo y poco a poco los que son malos van cayendo como Ian. Al final quedaron los dos despues de 2 meses de sequia yyyy fin. Vamos pro el ultimo !!! si se puede !!!
Breathless is Book 6 in the same Winchester Academy universe 🎓 and brings back the professor × student trope, an age gap, and even a coach twist added in. It also keeps the virgin trope, which fits the dynamic really well 🔥.
We got glimpses of these two in Books 4 and 5, and honestly, they were never very good at being sneaky 👀😅. Seeing their relationship finally take center stage was satisfying, especially because they didn’t rush into everything. The slower pace and build-up made their chemistry feel more believable and engaging.
Their dynamic worked for me, and now I’m already reaching for the last book in the series — can’t stop now! 📚✨
This one was my least favorite in this series so far. The first 50% of the book nothing happened except for him constantly, and I mean constantly reminding her of her age and how he couldn’t possibly go there. It got old real fast. Then they did get together, but I didn’t totally feel the chemistry and I just was kind of bored in their sex scenes. This one just wasn’t for me.
Damn, this was fucking fantastic! Really awesome! And, Gods, Hot as fuck! The passion between Waverly and Camden was explosive! Addictive! I kept wanting more, more, more. And even now, I'd go and re-read it all over again. That shower in the girls locker room... And that morning sex... And the basement sex... Damn, I couldn't get enough. I was on fire reading this book. And now I need to read the next book because I'm seriously addicted to the forbidden.
Steamy, fast-paced taboo romance. High heat, high-stakes. What would a girl do for a chance to get with her hotter than sin, off-limits swim coach? Throw in a little emotionally traumatic back story including sobriety and death and you have the ultimate brooding hero.
This was a slow, slow burn. A little sad and depressing backstory as well, but overall good. Wish there was a little more spice, but what’s on page is 🥵 Looking forward to the last book in the series!
