Mariana Zapata Novels I’ve Read
The Wall of Winnipeg and Me
Imagine quitting the “prestigious” job of being the personal assistant to the top defensive end in the National Football Organization. While the world-renowned “Wall of Winnipeg” is loved by thousands of fans, he makes for a poor boss–with few words of affirmation or just being a considerate boss. Vanessa Mazur is ready to take the leap and move on to a bigger, better job.
However, Aiden Graves, the Wall of Winnipeg, has other ideas when he shows up at her house, asking her incredibly personal and possibly illegal.
Will Vanessa find that maybe Aidan is more than a giant muscle bundle? And will she cross the line of no return by agreeing to Aiden’s request?
Note: If you like movies like The Proposal or Green Card, this book is for you!
All Rhodes Lead Here
This Mariana Zapata romance novel loosely reminds me of Sleepless in Seattle. Aurora De La Torre, or Ora to those who know her, chooses to move back to Pagosa Springs, a place full of fond memories and, more importantly, happy times with her late mother. When Ora decides to leave her world-famous musician boyfriend and make the trip back into the mountainous town, she decides to rent an apartment, more specifically, a room above the garage of a local family.
Welcome Tobias Rhodes, her landlord and widower who didn’t know his teenage son, Amos, decided to rent out the apartment behind his back. Fiercely protective of his family’s privacy, he doesn’t take kindly to a stranger living on his property. When Amos finds a friend in Ora, Tobias’s icy layers begin to thaw and he begins to welcome this stranger into his family.
From Lukov with Love
When Jasmine Santos is offered the opportunity of a lifetime, especially after countless broken bones, shattered dreams, and mental hurdles, she has to take a leap of faith. After two decades of ice skating, Jasmine is offered a partnership to reach the Mount Everest of ice skating––the World Championships. But at what cost? Well, she’ll just have to find out what Ivan Lukov is about and if he can take her to the most elite level of ice skating.
Mariana Zapata writes a dazzling sports romance novel that shows the mental and physical challenges of being a professional athlete and how to find your chosen family in times of stress and challenges. From Lukov with Love is one of my favorite enemies-to-lovers stories.
Kulti
Imagine growing up worshipping your soccer idol to find him as your head coach at the beginning of your next season. It’s supposed to be the best thing to ever happen to Sal Casillas, an international soccer star. However, after less than a week of getting to know her idol, her childhood fantasies seem like a figment of the imagination. Sal doesn’t anticipate Reiner Kulti to be the quiet recluse he portrays as a coach––but underneath that quiet exterior is the explosive, enigmatic, romantic man she always hoped to meet.
