*10TH RE-READ* - 19th December 2019. I LOVE THIS BOOK!It's 3:39am and I've just finished one of the best books I've EVER read.Seriously, I'm laying in bed bawling my fucking eyes out because I'm so fucking happy and so fucking sad at the same time cause it's all over.Since October I never thought I would feel this way about a book again.I don't even have the right words to express my feelings because my words just won't do this beautiful story justice.Van & Aiden are EVERYTHING.Oh fucking hell I...

Five words can sum up this book for me… “Ovaries. Where are my ovaries?” – Vanessa Usually, when a book is recommended to me and a lot of people seem to love it, 95% of the time I’m like the black sheep of the group, the one who doesn’t understand the hype. So I was a little reluctant to try this one out. But I am so freaking happy to say I loved this and completely get why it has been all over my Instagram and Goodreads feed and recommended multiple times.I’m usually not a fan of slow burning...

I really enjoyed this slow burn romance. And it was a SLOW burn, but the payoff was perfect - I constantly had a cheesy grin on my face. The characters, the story, it was all simply wonderful.

3. StarsOverall Opinion: This was ok. I know I'm the minority here, but I didn't find their connection all that moving. I honestly felt like it was one sided through the whole story and I just didn't get the swooning feeling that I think I was supposed to feel when he finally confessed his love at the end. I didn't find him all that likeable either. I wouldn't say that she was a doormat (thank goodness), but she definitely needs to be nominated for sainthood with all the crap she dealt with. W

Re-read #2 (6/29/2020) I’ve been wanting to re-read this book for a while and now that we are going to have Zac’s book I finally have the perfect excuse to do that! This time I tried the audiobook and it was just so good. let me tell you that a sixteen hours long audiobook is nothing and nearly not enough if you’re enjoying your time. This is still hands down my favorite Mariana Zapata’s book. Zac is such an interesting charismatic character, I’m glad that he’s getting his own book! 5 ‘Team Grav...

May 19, 2016 I loved the first 3 chapters and anticipated a swift escalation of Aiden and Vanessa's relationship but in the end, I gave up and chose to not finish the book.I will say that I did not like Vanessa AT ALL because she seemed angry perpetually, and her introspections were exasperating. Moreover, she goes from taking care of Aiden 24/7 to not caring if he had a decent meal and he, from a guy who needed sheets changed thrice weekly to not being bothered? These facts bugged me but ult

This one just really hit the spot for me. Great characters, slow burn romance, funny interactions, and when the heat finally hits, it's delicious. I read straight through the night and have thought about Aidan all day.

2nd read, September 20214.5 starsi forgot this book is utter perfection. i mean, i know Aiden Graves is THE man, but like - the way the relationship between him and Vanessa evolved in this book should be THE blueprint that romance novels adhere to. you feel me? (read as an audiobook) 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈1st read, June 20194 starsit is because of a man like you Aiden Graves that i still have faith in the male generation. 🤪

***ONE OF MY TOP FAVORITE BOOKS OF ALL TIME***So many re-reads, it's not even funny...REVIEW:5 "I Would Lick the Sweat Off Aiden's B@lls All Day, Every Day" StarsAfter reading 2014's Under Locke and 2015's Kulti, I knew I enjoyed Mariana Zapata's shit. But after reading this one I am officially so fucking #TeamZapata #TeamAiden #TeamMuscledHunkofSexyManMeat #RidiculousInstagram-likeParagraphofIdioticHastags that I'm going to make up my own nationally organized sport league (cause you know NFL......

Since I’ve started reading more romance, I find it’s harder to rate than other genres. 2 stars for other genres would mean I didn’t enjoy this book. Which isn’t true. I was okay reading it - I just saw a lot of flaws and felt it could do with some serious editing. This book could have been shorter. So much is filler. I get it - it’s slow burn romance. But I would have been so much more engaged had there been more interactions between the characters. Even a hint at romance didn’t start until 60%

I listened to the audiobook version of 'The Wall of Winnipeg and Me' and it was fantastic! Talk about a terrific, slow-burn romance! I was completely sucked in to this story, little by little. Aiden Graves is the formidable top defensive player in the National Football Organization. His single-minded focus on the sport has made him the best. He eats, lives and breathes football, paying little mind to anything or anyone else.Accordingly, he is kind of oblivious to the goings on around him that do...

Scratch four, this deserve five stars. Third reading and nothing has changed. Magic is intact and if possible I am in love with this story more than ever. "Yeah, my throat and tongue thought they were the Sahara. My eyes on the other hand wanted to be the Amazon. I didn't even realized I needed to sniffle until I did it. As much as I'd been telling myself over the last two days that I'd imagined being a wee bit in love with him, my heart held on to the truth. I hated it, but I was. I recogniz...

"That's my girl""I am?""The only one."the goodSo this was my second book by this author and damn it was just as good as the first. This book focuses on a socially isolated/stunted/cold pro football player and his (slow fuggin burn) relationship with his personal assistant. I know I wrote it above but this isn't for the faint of heart, these books are SLOW. BURN.Mariana Zapata seems to really succeed at making you feel for her characters. I read this right after finishing Kulti and for the first
