How have I not written a review for this book! I own it three times over, eBook, paperback, and audiobook. I adore this book, my go to for when I am in a book slump, or having a bad day, or even working on controlling my anxiety. I honestly can say that I am 75% of the way through the audiobook for the fourth time at this exact moment. I lost count how many times I have read this book, but it's getting close to 10, and it's a five star read every time time.

It's a beautiful slow burn that is like a cozy blanket that you go to for comfort. Team Graves all the way! The banter between Van and Aiden is priceless especially because Aiden is 100% a grumpy cinnamon all the way to the bank. You will completely fall in love with this couple and it's a must to read Diana's book and Zac's book also. I honestly feel that you really can't go wrong with a Zapata book, though after this one From Lukov with Love is my next all time favorite book. I've pre0ordered it for July since their is a bonus Aiden chapter now and I have to have it.

I honestly couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve read this book over the years. It’s a comforting reread of mine and every time I go back to Aiden and Vanny, I always find something new. This time, there actually was new material and a cute cover update! Definitely recommend this edition to any and all romance lovers.

● Synopsis ●
Vanessa Mazur knows she's doing the right thing. She shouldn't feel bad for quitting. Being an assistant/housekeeper/fairy godmother to the top defensive end in the National Football Organization was always supposed to be temporary. She has plans and none of them include washing extra-large underwear longer than necessary.

But when Aiden Graves shows up at her door wanting her to come back, she's beyond shocked.

For two years, the man known as The Wall of Winnipeg couldn't find it in him to tell her good morning or congratulate her on her birthday. Now? He's asking for the unthinkable.

What do you say to the man who is used to getting everything he wants?

●Thoughts ●
I rarely reread but I had to reread this because of how pretty the cover was and the exclusive bonus content ♡♡♡. I missed them so much! The slow burn was reallll in this book and the slow burn was definitely worth! My heart melted for Aiden Graves again and I love the tension between Vanessa and Aiden. This was one of the first sports romance that I enjoyed back then and rereading again makes me feel happiness and go through the emotional rollercoaster again ♡♡♡. The way Aiden is always protective of Vanessa has me on my kneeessss!!!! I love grumpy cinnamon roll men and love the way Mariana writes her books!
