He bought a sideboard. He wasn't ready for the lumberjack who came with it.Mateo Ricci is a fiery Italian high school coach with a mouth that never stops, a best friend who won't shut up, and a television still balanced on a cardboard box. When he finally decides to buy a piece of actual furniture like a functioning adult, he doesn't expect the gruff, brooding carpenter who built it to short-circuit his brain.
Shane is better with wood than words. He's quiet, rugged, and about as emotionally expressive as a bookshelf. He prefers sawdust and solitude over flirting and feelings. The last thing he needs is a fast-talking coach with killer eyes and zero chill showing up in his workshop and looking way too good while doing it.
But it's no big deal. It's just a delivery, right?
The problem? Neither of them can stop thinking about the other-and Mateo's friends absolutely will not let it go.
What follows is a riotous slow-burn of awkward texts, chaotic brunches, inappropriate nicknames (Flannel Daddy, anyone?), and enough sexual tension to sand a hardwood floor.
If you love sharp banter, soft-hearted tough guys, and falling hard when you least expect it, Coach will bench your heart and steal the game

Review :
I thought Casey couldn't possibly do a sweeter or funnier story than "The Lineman", the prior book in this series. But, voila, Coach is sweeter and funnier with lovable characters in Mateo and Shane and visits by all of the players in the first three books!
Casey Morales just gets better and better! And seeing his super-high starting point, one might think that would be impossible. His sports books, fantasy books, yes, are all superb. Right now though he is really shining in his contemporary romance stories. The Lineman was great, so warm, so funny; the main characters were guys you really loved getting to know. But, Friends, Coach is even better! Do yourself a favor and grab it soonest. You are in for a bouncing time with plenty of three point plays and a satisfying HEA.
