Welcome to Litsy!

I loved this nearly as much as I did the (tagged) previous book. The Bergman family is fantastic! Ren js a pro hockey player who is secretly in love with Frankie, the team‘s social media manager. She is on the autism spectrum and doesn‘t pick up on the clues that he is into her. Ren is gentlemanly, respectful, and obsessed with Shakespeare. I adore him! A little steamy for my taste (usually) but I love this family so much that I didn‘t even care.

One of my favorite Zapata books. The only one I like better is The Wall of Winnipeg and Me. Great plot and characters. Fabulous prose and that slow burn to die for me. I wish every book I read gave all the feels like this. 5⭐️ all year long!

If you‘re not familiar with this author, I suggest you start somewhere else! But if you know her you might like this one. #dark #slowburn #witch #wickedwhispers #authoramonth

Another great slow-burn, second-chance romance by Mariana Zapata.

I love Zapata and will read every book she writes. That said, this is not her best work. I liked it, but it didn't have that extra special spark that I have come to expect from her. It is in the 3.5 to 4 ⭐️ range for me.

I love how this author writes characters. This was about as much as I get into football these days. 😂
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

(longer explanation in the comments 👇🏻. Short version is this:) I wanted to try New Adult for a while. So I gave this m/m-college-sports-romance a go. Good points: I liked the setting and the dynamics. Bad points: The language felt overly cheesy at times and the sex scenes were quite unrealistic. But nonetheless, I am glad that I read it. Soft pick.

Her books are a guilty pleasure of mine. Love the romance in them.

Not my favorite of Zapata's but still enjoyed. I liked the characters and the plot was good, though a bit unrealistic. Definitely a beach read. 4 ⭐️
