He stared at me, unblinking, unflinching. And then: “I’ll cut the power at the house when you’re in the shower,” he said so evenly, so crisply, it took me a second to realize he was threatening me… It’s an offer Vanessa knows she can’t reject. Her student loans are putting so much weight on her shoulders, and paying them off by being in fake marriage with one of the current best football stars wouldn’t be that bad, would it? 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% in!

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me: A Novel Kindle Edition

Aiden Graves is by far my favorite MZ hero. He’s not an alphahole so much as he is fatally anti-social. When he’s stressed, he retreats completely into himself and becomes a hermit. SO relatable. But when he loves people, he loves them completely, and I love him for that :) what a perfect gem. Overall, this book was a pretty good read. It just didn't wow me like I had hoped it would. So I'm giving it a solid 3 stars. He shouldn't have apologized for not interacting when it was not his personality! He can be however he wanted, and no one told her to put A LOT of extra effort for him! Her flipping him off again and again was so UNPROFESSIONAL, but no one's gonna talk about that! AIDEN WAS SO RIGHT TO SAY THIS, THAT HE NEEDED AN ASSISTANT, NOT A FRIEND! No one can force friendships 🙂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. I guess if I was describing the plot of THE WALL OF WINNIPEG AND ME, I'd say it's one part Devil Wears Prada, one part The Proposal, and one part Muriel's Wedding. Van has been working as Aiden's personal assistant for two years, and both he and his agent have treated her like garbage the whole time. Finally, she's decided that enough is enough and she's going to quit for her own sanity. Aiden asks her to reconsider and then, after that, requests her to marry him so that he can get citizenship and continue to play American football (he's from Canada). Initially, she refuses, but she's several hundred thousand dollars in the hole for her student loans, and when he agrees to sweeten the deal by paying them all off and buying her a house, she decides to agree to his scheme. After all, they only need to be married for five years. That's practically nothing, right? I don’t know anything about relationships, Van, but I know I love you. I know I’ve waited my entire life to love you, and I’ll do whatever I have to, to make this work.” Vanessa Mazur knows she's doing the right thing. She shouldn't feel bad for quitting. Being an assistant/housekeeper/fairy godmother to the top defensive end in the National Football Organization was always supposed to be temporary. She has plans and none of them include washing extra-large underwear longer than necessary. I know you think I wouldn’t care,” he said in that whisper voice that bled solemnness, “but I would. I do. We’re in this together.”

Nevertheless, the book was glued in my hands until I finished it during the early morning hours without getting much sleep the previous night. 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! i deducted one star off just bc of the repetitive writing style. the fmc’s endless inner monologue got so repetitive and annoying, i felt like i was reading the same thing every chapter. she also repeatedly kept describing how big he is—like okay girl we got it the first 5 times you said it. 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 sex may be great, but when Aiden and Vanessa were in Las Vegas and Vanessa decided to walk around Las Vegas at night, alone, Aiden decided to wake up from his nap and walk with her because he was worried, even if he didn’t admit it? this book reminded me just how much i love slow burns. it was that slow that i was internally screaming whenever there was a slight physical touch between them. this is just what i needed to get me out of my slump!!

Also, using the mundanity of everyday life is really effective with these books because you grow to appreciate all the small little nuances of the characters. Note: if you like plot driven romances you will probably hate this. Melodrama is not something to be found here. But I appreciate it so much, and it makes the story so believable. Leaning in close to him again, I winked. “I’m taking your love of MILF porn to the grave with me, don’t worry.”Overall 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. With all of that and the fact that it was super slow, I would call this a "just ok" 3 stars. 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. Or when he decided to run with her as she trains for her marathon because he was worried, again, since it was getting dark soon, even though he was breaking some of the rules he put on himself? This story not only consumed my whole life from start to finish but also made it into my all-time favourite books list and let me tell you that's a tough list to get on.
