The Wall of Winnipeg and Me

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 ŷ feed and recommended multiple times.
I’m usually not a fan of slow burning books. Mainly because I find the ‘in between� just full of fluff and nonsense. But not this book! As my friend/buddy-reader Cynthia said, this book is sweet torture. Sweet, delicious, slow burning, torture. So slow that I thought I was going to have a damn stroke by the time these two actually kissed. But it worked. It worked because everything is SHOWN to the reader, not told. (And even though there was some repetition and a lot of inner monologue that would usually annoy me, this book sucked me in so much that I just didn’t mind at all.) It worked SO WELL that even the smallest gesture or simplest line from Aiden had me weeping like a child.
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.
Vanessa was a hysterical spitfire, and Aiden was like this huge, sometimes (ok � always) grumpy teddy bear you just want to hug. And hump. The character development and the build of the relationship between these two were done perfectly.
It was all just beautiful. Intense and passionate and sensual and hysterical and beautiful.

“Home is where you are. I would go anywhere for you if you wanted me there.”

“I don't know," I stuttered, "Do you love me?"
His gaze was so intent the entire world seemed to stop. "You tell me. I never stop thinking about you. I worry about you all the time. Every beautiful thing I see reminds me of you. I can't finish my practices in Colorado with out wishing you were around," he said in a steady tone. "You tell me what I feel.”

“Oh, I’d heard him. Loud and clear. That was why I wanted to kill him.
Which basically showed how amazing the human mind was; how you could care about someone but want to slit his or her throat at the same time. Like having a sister who you wanted to punch right in the ovaries. You still loved her, you just wanted to sock her right in the baby-maker to teach her a lesson—not that I knew from experience or anything.”

Never gravitate towards sports romances especially football would I still be able to get into this? Your review is making me curious!?
honeypoppybooks wrote: "Never gravitate towards sports romances especially football would I still be able to get into this? Your review is making me curious!?"It doesn't focus on the sports aspect heavily so yes!!!
And you should def try The Hook Up from and The Friend Zone by Kristen Callihan. Those are also "sports romances" but again it focuses more on the romance. I LOVED those books =)

I will download the sample of this book!
which one should I read first this one or The Hook Up series?
honeypoppybooks wrote: "which one should I read first this one or The Hook Up series?"Depends on what you're in the mood for. The Hook Up is right off the bat sexy/funny and the MCs are in college. The Wall of Winnipeg is veryyyy slow burning and the MCs are late 20s/early 30s
LOVE your casting! Especially Jai Courtney!

Terrific revie..."I've read 3 of her books, I think... and I absolutely loved this one and Kulti. Would definitely recommend Kulti because it's just as slow burn with very well developed characters and it's a sports romance too :) xoxo
