I don’t know man, but small things like that have me screaming by how wholesome it is. My heart is just wrapped in a heart shaped warm blanket during those moments. I was in Aiden’s lap. He was cross-legged on either side of me, each of his muscular thighs cocooning my hips, his chin just behind my ear. I shivered. I’m sorry. I know. I’m a loner. I’ve always been a loner. I can’t remember the last time I had a friend who didn’t play football, and even then, it usually never lasted.❞
THESE WERE SUPER CUTE! This book had cute scenes, and I liked them, but to be honest, all of them kinda fell flat for me because Vanessa would just say THANKS x1000, which would ruin all the vibes for me! Aiden hated that too! She's appreciating him, that's fine, BUT FOR THE BARE MINIMUM? Behind me, Aiden straightened; under my butt, his thighs tightened and strained. It was then that I felt embarrassed. “I’m sorry,” I apologized, already lifting up to lunge off him. I get blue balls in my girls parts like a priest at a Playboy party if I don't get any smexy times by the 50% mark. to explain my rating, i did enjoy the book.. but will i remember it in a couple of months? probably not. BUT the writing is really good and, again, i don't know how mz did it, but it never felt boring to read aiden's and vanessa's story Also, even though the pace of the story is slow, it doesn't feel slow. Something about the way Zapata writes makes it seem like really big stuff is happeneing during really small moments - because it is.You know what was super terrible? Vanessa kept thanking him for doing this, doing that (things which were literally the bare minimum), and in reality, any person would think about their behavior patterns and realize that they're ACTUALLY getting thanked for doing the bare minimum, which would make them feel terrible about themselves! Vanessa didn't mean harm or anything, but he kept telling her to shut up every instance because it would make him feel terrible about himself! HE KNOWS HE IS SELFISH AND SELF-CENTERED, BUT AS LONG AS HE'S MINDING HIS OWN BUSINESS, why do others care so much Aiden isn’t what readers are used to encountering and he's not a man whore at all. In fact, he actually hasn’t bother with women (messy) since his high school years. He’s been one hundred percent focused on his career and ignores woman fans and really lives up to the comparison of a wall. Marrying Vanessa to him makes the most sense and this is how he woos her. Leaning in close to him again, I winked. “I’m taking your love of MILF porn to the grave with me, don’t worry.”
What was the worst that would happen? I’d have to find another job if my customer base dried up? How horrifying. I wouldn’t know what would happen until I tried. Sadness level: Low/moderate. It has an unrequited love feel, so I did get a little teary at times for that -- but no tissues needed.I tried to love it, I swear I did, BUT this book was so painfully slow and it was a pure torture reading it! I gave it equal time as I give to other books, but IT TOOK ME approx 3 DAYS TO FINISH IT 💀and I think I'm in a slump! This book had the ability to piss me off so much and yet at the end, I couldn't care less about the cute scenes! 🙂
In the same vein as her hit book Kulti, Mariana Zapata delivers a SLOW BURN story of a personal assistant, Vanessa Mazur who has finally saved enough over the two years of working for the NFO’s best defenseman, Aiden “The Wall of Winnipeg” Graves to quit. Did I hate this book? No. Is it a new favorite? No. It felt like turning a Hallmark movie into a miniseries. Fine to watch in the moment but way too long and shallow to enjoy over and over - for me.And yes. I am sure I don't like Hands Down, Dear Aron and Luna and the Lie. I'm not too fond of the heroines. And the stories are boring and repetitive. You know, eating crow. As in admitting I erred. Trying to be humble because I made a mistake. Screwed up. Put my foot in my mouth. The Wall of Winnipeg and Me was a seriously addictive slow burn romance. Once I started the audio, I couldn’t stop listening. It was over 16 hours long, but I finished it within 48 hours. There was nothing about this book I didn’t love! The storyline actually started with Vanessa quitting her job to finally start her own business and take time for herself because she spent her 2 years on a job SHE DIDN'T LIKE, and also she didn't like her boss — Aiden! Now, after she has left, Aiden came proposing to her to marry him so that he can get his permanent residency in America.
I don’t want to say a word on the plot. Mainly because the “twist” in here drives the plot and I loved where it took the story and was glad I didn’t know beforehand.I'm honestly so gushy about this book!! 'The Wall of Winnipeg and Me' is a book you do not wanna miss out on and I would highly recommend it!
Great Deal
