First Times in Trout Creek #3

Taught by the Personal Trainer

Rate this book
Erin
I desperately need to get in shape. My sister’s wedding is in four weeks, and I won’t give her the satisfaction of making fun of my looks like she always does. Signing up for advanced aerobics turns out to be a bad move, though. Who knew that it would be too much to handle for me? Thankfully, the instructor offers me his personal trainer services at a discounted rate. After a few sessions with him, I’m already craving for more…
Jason
The curvy girl hiring me to get her in shape catches the eye of everyone in the gym, but the way other men talk about her makes my blood boil. She’s way too sweet and broken to be someone’s fling. I’m going to sweep her off her feet and make her mine. In my arms, she’ll be safe, protected, and loved. The only thing left to do now is only pray she feels the same way about me.
Taught by the Personal Trainer is a steamy short instalove romance full of heat and heart with NO cliffhangers, NO cheating, and a Guaranteed HEA. This book is part of the series First Times in Trout Creek, a steamy romance series set in a small mountain town where every insanely hot guy finds a sweet & inexperienced curvy woman to love.

There is not a universe imaginary or real that two people could pull off the acrobatic sex on a motorcycle this author wrote. Give me a freaking break. There is only so much suspension of reality a person can muster. Also what girl wants to ride a motorcycle in a dress and wear a helmet when trying to look good for a fancy dining date, be so for real! Oh and gag me when the MMC says “licking from her inner to her outer lips” WTF is even happening ugh my poor poor brain.

I loved reading about Jason and Erin. Erin joined Jason aerobics class to get in shape for her sisters wedding. Unfortunately its advanced aerobics. When she doesn't quit Jason is intrigued. He wants to help her reach her goals. Sparks kinda fly and Erin gets smitten with Jason. Can these two bond over exercise and adorableness?

Taught by the Personal Trainer is the third book in the First Times in Trout Creek by Hazel J. North. This is a small-town insta-love romance with mountain men and plenty of steamy details.
While I did like the book/series- there was nothing that made it stand out from the 'crowd' for me.

This is the third book in the series. They can be read as standalone books. Erin is trying to get in shape for her sisters wedding. She wants to avoid the usual comments. Jason wants Erin the moment he sees her. He can't stand the way others in the gym talk about her. He plans to sweep her off her feet. This book is a great quick read, instalove, romance.

Great Instalove

Erin and Jason are so sweet together. She's trying so hard for someone else who doesn't appreciate her but he'll be damned if he isn't gonna show her all the love she deserves. Short and sweet.

The author has given us a wonderful story that pulls us into the lives of Erin and Jason. The story keeps us turning the pages with instant connection, insecurities and steam.

Looks good to me by MeemsAngel82

Another sweet couple that are clearly meant to be! This is a cute read about two very likeable characters who find that something special in one another. Each character is kind and shame on anyone being negative. Easy to read, there's no dull moments and the story is well rounded.

She was trying to sweat it out, and would be-with him!

He is such a kind, supportive person! How pathetic is her sister? Wish her own groom dumped her butt publicly! Great writing that is short and hot, these two are really good people and glad for them to get together. He was the perfect guy and I loved her as well, they hit it off right away and what an ending! Looking forward to more!

Jason and Erin's Story . . .

Erin and Jason meet at the gym when she is desperate to lose some weight before her sister’s wedding in 4 weeks. She is well aware how critical her sister is of her, so she wants to head off any “battles” she can.

But taking the advanced aerobics class doesn’t mean you will start at the top or advance faster, and she sees she is not at that level to be at that training level. So Jason, the instructor, offers to be her personal trainer and help her work out at a discounted rate. Sparks fly between the two of them as he appreciates the woman she is. So she invites him to be her plus-one and attend the wedding with her. But what will happen when her sister starts in on her?

I love the First Times in Trout Creek series. I really enjoyed this book with Jason the trainer and Erin the bridesmaid looking to lose some weight. I really love these stories showing size doesn’t matter. It’s a great story and I loved the characters. I love how the characters carry though the series. I would definitely recommend this book and the series.

I liked the story idea. I just found it was really too quick. But the characters were cute, I just think this would be better as a full story. Still definitely want to read more from this author!.
