The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Swoon
Loved it. Looooved it. I loved the characters. I loved the attention to detail in crafting Aiden’s personality, and his interactions with others. His reactions to things.
There was a particular part in the book where Vanessa, right or wrong, feels like Aiden let her down, and within the space of a few days immediately following she is let down or lied to by effectively everyone she cares about (save one). I started to tear up for her. Am I overly emotional for some reason? Possibly. But I still thought they were some excellent scenes.
I so thoroughly enjoyed the slow burn. And damn, it is truly slow so know that going in. However, it is worth the wait. The wait really adds to the tension of the story.
I definitely recommend this book. I had it on my TBR anyway, but grabbed for it like t’was a lifeboat after a particularly dark and disturbing read left me all discombobulated. All I was looking for was a lighter, non-dark read, but this surprised me by being so excellent. I could see this being a re-read.
Recommended!

But when Aiden Graves shows up at her door wanting her to come back, she’s beyond shocked.
For two years, the man known as The Wall of Winnipeg couldn’t find it in him to tell her good morning or congratulate her on her birthday. Now? He’s asking for the unthinkable.
What do you say to the man who is used to getting everything he wants?
