⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
LOVED this slow burn romance – one of the best!

Mariana Zapata is unequivocally the queen of the slow burn romance. Hands down, there is just no comparison. The Wall of Winnipeg and Me was one of the first books I had ever read of hers, when it was first released, and I’ve not done a reread since. It’s a difficult choice to decide which of hers I love the most – and a few I’ve definitely reread, but never this one. However, The Wall of Winnipeg and Me is just an all around amazing romance and I’m not sure how I forgot that. Everything about it just works for me and a lot of what it involves shows up in various facebook reader groups in rec requests. Big, silent and stoic hero? Yes. Heroine overhears Hero talking bad about her or not speaking up when others do? Yes. Unrequited love? Yes.

Aiden is a football star and Vanessa his assistant. She has been working for him for two years, building up her savings so that she can quit working for him and start working for herself as a graphic designer. Finally she gets the nerve to do this and this is when the story really gets started. The Wall of Winnipeg and Me just sort of sucks you right in from the beginning. These characters jump off the page as you live with them over the course of the story. It’s single POV, and I love how much character depth you get in this book. It’s a romance, but an absolute slow burn. You definitely get the connection that is building between them and as a reader you can read between the lines much quicker than Vanessa can. I loved everything about this story and will definitely be doing a reread a lot sooner than seven years. If you haven’t read it, I would definitely jump right in and even you have, jump back in!

Mariana is a New York Times, USA Today, and #1 Amazon best-selling author and reached #7 on Amazon’s Author Ranking in 2016. Her book The Wall of Winnipeg and Me was a #1 Amazon Overall Best Seller, and was chosen as a 2016 Goodreads Choice Award nominee and also included on Amazon’s Best Books of 2016 for Romance. Wait for It reached #2 on the Amazon Overall Best Seller list and stayed in the top 100 for six weeks; it was chosen as a 2017 Goodreads Choice Award nominee in the Romance category. Dear Aaron was a top 10 Amazon Overall Best Seller and stayed in the top 100 for six weeks. From Lukov with Love was a top 10 Amazon Overall Best Seller and a finalist in the romance category for the 2018 Goodreads Choice Awards. Luna and the Lie became a #1 Amazon Overall Best Seller. The Best Thing was a top 10 Amazon Overall Best Seller and a 2019 Goodreads Choice Awards nominee in romance. Her latest novel, Hands Down, was also a top 10 Amazon Overall Best Seller.

Mariana Zapata began writing love stories soon after she learned how to spell. She probably shouldn’t admit that she started sneaking romance novels from her aunt’s bookshelves way before she was old enough to even understand what it meant when a man flipped up a woman’s skirt. (Don’t tell her mom.)
