The Wall of Winnipeg and Me

by Mariana Zapata

Overview

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.

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 even 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?

Editorial Reviews

The story was engaging, well-paced, and a pleasure to listen to. Callie Dalton, the narrator, played a huge role in that.

Bookworm Brandee

The first Mariana Zapata book I read was The Wall of Winnipeg and Me, and it made me a Mariana Zapata stan for life. Everything Mariana writes is pure gold, and I credit her for my undying love of some of my favorite tropes: slow-burn, enemies to lovers, and grumpy/sunshine. I am in constant awe of her ability to create amazing characters and to make me love, hate, pine, laugh and cry with my whole heart...Mariana is an absolute rockstar and a true gift to romance readers everywhere!” — Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain

"When I need a guaranteed five-star, slow burn romance, I pick up Mariana Zapata every time."  — #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Tessa Bailey

“An absolute binge—compelling, subtle, sweet and unforgettable—Zapata brings the heady, dizzy rush of the slow fall into love to the pages of The Wall of Winnipeg and Me. Winnipeg is so much more than a slow burn, a sports story, or a grumpy/sunshine delight—it’s all of those things rolled into an unputdownable feast of romance.”  — Sierra Simone, USA Today bestselling author of Priest and Misadventures of a Curvy Girl

From the Publisher

Emma Wilder's sensitive narration clarifies Vanessa's complex feelings for her taciturn boss, football player Aiden Graves. Vanessa's disdain and hurt at Aiden's brusque manner are evident as she quits and is wooed back by an unusual proposal. Stephen Dexter voices Aiden and other males in this duet narration. Dexter has a deep voice, and he delivers clipped responses that match Aiden's reserved persona. Dexter's voices for the other players and Aiden's agent are differentiated by accents and varied pacing. Wilder's voicing expresses Vanessa's fascination with Aiden and her desire to be seen and respected. The slow build allows both narrators to develop Vanessa and Aiden's relationship as it inches from business to tentative friendship to soulmates. This appealing progression is well delineated by both narrators. C.A. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
