He is not your quintessential romance hero but he is stoic, stubborn and committed to his girl. By the end of the story, you actually admire his fortitude and many of the stuff that he does makes sense.
At first, his indifference seems almost Autistic but as we progress with the story, we see that he just doesn’t give a damn about people he doesn’t like. She is strong, lovable and kind and after reading the book from her POV, I really wish I could meet her. I have long been an admirer of strong women characters and she certainly is one gutsy girl who overcomes all the challenges that life throws at her. At this point, one actually wonders how these two would ever come together and how Aiden could ever redeem himself after treating Vanessa with such annoying indifference.Īnd that’s why you can’t really put down this book. She is so angry with him that she quits the job and is happy to be on her own. Though he is easy on the eye, his indifference annoys her to no end, so much so that she saves up enough money to pursue her own dreams.
The story is narrated from the point of view of Vanessa, the personal assistant to a football player. Wall of Winnipeg and Me is an excellent example of a slow burn romance.
You need a fabulous plot to hold the reader’s interest or make the characters so interesting that one has to follow them until the end. For one thing, the author needs to be clever enough to weave a fantastic story around two characters who are not going to hit the sack anytime soon.
