Description:
Tom Lee is one of Sydney Morning Herald's Best Young Australian Novelists 2019
One of the strangest
and most appealing novels you will read this year!
Tom Lee's first novel is about a young jogger who is in a relationship
with an older woman. She is both his coach and his mentor. Coach Fitz, as he
calls her, seeks to instil a philosophy of running which combines 'controlled
intensity' with a curiosity about places and their histories. A country boy, he
is fascinated by the landscapes of the city beaches and parks through which they
travel. And he has his own obsessions – with exercise routines, ancestral
legacies, outdoor gyms, horse-racing, weather conditions and inner-city eating
habits. Then, suddenly, their relationship falls apart, over the issue of sex –
and he becomes a coach and mentor in turn, to a young man this time, as he attempts
to orchestrate an ideal expression of his emotional, athletic and intellectual
urges.
Coach Fitz is an exploration of the outdoor mentality that plays
such a dominant role in the Australian psyche. It is remarkable for its
observations about landscape and physical exercise, embedded in the training
routines and dialogues of the runners. But most of all it is about the emotions
and aspirations of youth, and the complications these engender.
'This quirky debut novel by Tom Lee is a wonderfully strange patchwork of psychobabble, self-help buzzwords and technocratic jargon...There's an easy matter-of-factness here, a flatness of affect reminiscent of the work of Gerald Murnane.' — The Saturday Paper

Not bad but read better omegaverse
Format: Kindle
Mmm. I have feelings. Some not good. Some good. It was an ok read. I've been on a omegaverse kick for awhile now. Love me some groveling alphas but this wasn't it. Actually there wasn't enough groveling and the fmc gave in WAY too quickly.
They all have f'ed childhood. The alphas, Dorian, Rafe and Cade met at an orphanage that did unspeakable things to them until Dorian and Rafe aged out at 18 and had ti wait a few years until they could "adopt" Cade, who was 3 years younger than them. They all become successful entrepreneur of sort, I think. They created an app called HeatLink.
The fmc, Eva, was sold to the pack by her horrible, abusing father. She endured just as much hardship. She is relentless with escaping the pack but she always gave in when they got too near. Like she couldn't keep her legs closed. She hates them but gave in everytime. I found her kind of weak in that sense.
The overall plot was fine. Didn't leave me yearning to read the next page. I did clock one of the identity of someone quickly though. Don't want to spoil it. Again, I've read better omegaverse books. The one good thing about the book is one of the lines from Cade on page 218: ""Please Eva. I'm sorry." She staggered back and I followed her on my knees, dragging myself. I didn't care. I just wanted her to hold me."" I'll admit, I melted a little bit for Cade, even though he was probably the worse a-hole out of the bunch.

Good Groveling!
Format: Kindle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5|🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.5
This was really good! Definitely a dark romance! The plot was really good and was done well. I enjoyed the character development but I did wish the FMC told her pack she loved them at the end.
Overall I would recommend this to readers who like bully romances and groveling! 💖

it went on too long…
Format: Kindle
At first it was a good read and I was really into it then it got to be a little to much with every page being more about how “slick” she was or about constant sex… I like spice don’t get me wrong but this was just a little too much after a while and the plot was lost. I also felt like the ending was weird and awkward it was just a good build up to fall flat

So good!
Format: Kindle
The regret they had was so well written and not having the FMC give in so quickly was a good change from most of these type of books.

Hardcore bullying and mistreatment to HEA
Format: Kindle
First off the men do not know she is their scent match. This does not excuse the way the treated her. These men bought her in hopes of using and unregistered Omega to get info on the Omega they might as kids.
Every single one of these characters has been abused growing up. The men think she is just some spoiled princess and their way to find someone they have been searching for. What they don't expect is to slowly find themselves drawn to her more and more but not understanding why.
These men starting acting weird and possessive but never suspected why. Once they discover the truth they have to work really hard to make it up to her. Especially after she put them in contact with the Omega they had been looking for then she ran.
I definitely felt for these men as their story was revealed. I definitely wanted to hold them and promise they were safe now.
That little surprise at the end I definitely didn't expect but it was fantastic.
