. Mariana's books, Kulti and Wall of Winnipeg, are two of my favorite contemporary novels - I've reread them dozens of times. I devour these books in a day and the second I finish them, I want to start all over again. Aiden Graves is the formidable top defensive player in the National Football Organization. .
The narrator had a voice that was easy to listen to, the characters were engaging and the storyline was interesting. . It made him so enigmatic and interesting that it made this story even richer for me in much the same way that the details and the pacing does. Why are there so much inner monologue and so little action? There's rape and it is explicit but. This is a slow burn romance. Well that was this book. Ivan-fangirling, backstabbing, slow burn loving traitor.
How can I teach my kids to be strong if I don't set them a good example? Oh and he used to have a girlfriend. I really liked the storyline. Oh wait, young people might not know what a tape cassette is either. Some might call me even compassionate! His uninterested presence leads to Vanessa, his assistant, feeling undervalued and unappreciated. It was a little frustrating to read the way she felt toward some of the women in this book simply because she felt threatened. I enjoyed this book a lot! From Lukov with Love is about Jasmine Santos, a semi-retired figure skater who never won all the medals she had always hoped to.
Nothing feels rushed or implausible. It put us right into their world and took us on this journey of theirs with them, and I thought that was brilliant. It was so heartwarming to see them open up to each other. Worst Line: none Personal Review: A great slow-burn romance between a quiet footballer and a determined teacher. Holy shit did I burn reading this book.
I cried for these two, they are the sweetest thing together. Every few chapters you find another new trope being thrown at you. From Lukov with Love will make you laugh, it will make you sigh with joy and it will make you fall in love with Jasmine and Lukov. The story between Aiden and Vanessa had such a great and natural flow. On the surface it seems like they kind of hate each other.
Now there are a lot of reasons to like this book; the writing, the slow burn between the characters and the way the story revealed itself. Sadly to say, this was the worst book by this author I've read so far. The first part of the novel is entirely written in an email style format, which was fine in the beginning, but by the time the 25% mark had rolled around, I was starting to grow quite bored. My problem is the same with you Leonor. But I am so freaking happy to say I loved this and completely get why it has been all over my Instagram and Goodreads feed and recommended multiple times. Aiden doesn't appreciate all that Vanessa does for him and when she finally gets up enough courage to quit, he is stunned.
I'm just going to jot down a few random thoughts on this book because I don't know what to rate it. I told her in all honesty that it felt more like a strange extended camaraderie taking a sudden 180 ten percent before the end of the book. So, after the solution of the problem in this weird way, the book lost me completely! I loved both of their characters, Leo the puppy, Halloween, Christmas, the elevator scene and I adored the fierce way Aiden protects Vanessa and how they become a team. But all in all, it's pretty innocent; it's become a routine for them to do it that their words do not have as much heat as it sounds. . I'm sure she will blow my mind again.
But that shock becomes even more shocking when she finds out the favor he needs. There could've been so much more bet I'm considering myself confused here. Original: I love slow burn romances, but this was all filler. I had so many feelings, it was pure perfection for me, I loved reading between the lines and knowing how their relationship was slowly changing without either of them ever really noticing it themselves. From the start I was hooked by her tough and blunt personality. Which brings me to the fact that they only did really make a move at around 88%. We are gifted with getting to know the ever lovely and beautiful lost soul of Jasmine.
. Their back and forth banter was the best. Mariana Zapata is a one-hit wonder. Overall Rating: 5 stars Story: 4. I thought taking care of shit, being responsible made me a man—but I was wrong.
But when Aiden Graves shows up at her d Vanessa Mazur knows she's doing the right thing. They go back and forth, talking about the same things over and over, the same problems over and over. I flew through this long book in a day and a half. I am obsessed with Mariana Zapata's audio books. .
