I don't even have the right words to express my feelings because my words just won't do this beautiful story justice. 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! Closure: This had ok closure. I would (reluctantly) say that they had a HEA ending, but I would've really liked a jump ahead epilogue to see into their future.
After two years, Vanessa has had enough of Aiden “The Wall of Winnipeg” Graves. For a while now, she’s thought about quitting her job. She knows it isn’t the best idea. After all, she knows how many people would give to have her job - being an assistant/housekeeper for the best defensive in the NFO isn’t an easy job to find. But as much as this job is helping her, she can’t continue putting her dreams of graphic design and starting her own business behind. So when she tells her boss, Aiden, that she is quitting, she at least expected him to feel bad, to ask why or give some sort of feeling, but after seeing nothing, Vanessa knows she’s making the right decision.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.
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 feel like I've fallen in love. For real. I'm not just using this phrase. I really feel like I'm in love. With no one in particular. I just feel it. 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. Then the words were out of my mouth before I could control them. “And you know what I’ll do? I’ll go sneak into bed with you, so ha.”
Possible Triggers: Yes other reader informed me that there was emotional and physical abuse by her family (it’s been ~5 years since I read so I don’t remember) Our work relationship had progressed past me calling Aiden “sir” and using more than two words at a time when I talked to him. I had planned it out and built up my business so that wouldn’t be the case, I reminded myself as I sat there watching Aiden eat. I knew what I was doing. I had money squirreled away. I was good at what I did, and I loved doing it. edit 2023: mmmmmmmm. definitely not as good as kulti, i stand by that. feels more like a 3 star this go-round
So 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.
Great Deal
