Other authors should take note if they’re looking to break into this genre. I know I’ve briefly mentioned it before, but Mariana Zapata is a master of the slow-burn. Mariana Zapata The Wall of Winnipeg and Me Character Development It goes without saying that Mariana Zapata has much more skill and ability to craft a story than any movie that has a similar, loosely based plot.
But I digress.īut this story does follow along the same sort of story line where they start with a work arrangement and agreement and then it builds into more. Kinda reminds me of “The Proposal” with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. And the best way he can come up with doing this is to get himself a wife and gain citizenship through that. So with his pro career in jeopardy, he needs to solidify his citizenship. Suddenly, Aiden is in serious trouble of getting deported is his contract isn’t renewed. Such is the level of his complete self-absorption. He can’t even manage a half-decent “Good Morning” when he sees her. Up until this point, Aiden has completely ignored Vanessa. He is caught completely off guard even though she developed a few websites for other players on his team. His focus is completely and wholly on being a professional athlete.Īnd we see this clearly when Vanessa quits her job as his personal assistant to follow her own dream of becoming a web designer. He is completely unaware of anyone else around him and what they may be going through. We see his dedication and focus, having sacrificed EVERYTHING to achieve his professional career.
It almost comes off as being a little annoying.īut as the story unfolds, we begin to get glimpses into the possibility of there being a little more depth to him. He is a dominant defensive player in a pro football league and is aptly named “The Wall.” Almost to a fault, Mariana constantly mentions just how huge this guy is. And he comes across as being a total idiot.

She takes you on a slowly developing tour to where you might not even think romance between the two is even a possibility! Mariana does a great job developing both characters in Aiden and Vanessa. In true Zapata fashion, she takes her time to slowly and carefully build the romance between the two characters. Mariana Zapata is at it again with another slow-burn romance in “The Wall of Winnipeg and Me” which you can get here.
