About this deal

No, Sal, you can't "[miss] the glance he took at [your] mouth. [Miss] the way he fisted his hand as he pried it off [your] shoulder". Because Hello, first POV narrative. You don't get to choose when you are omniscient. What this book needed was an editor to cleave, tighten, and clean the plot. Did it have one? With all the mistakes riddling the book, I can't be sure. If it did, Zapata clearly needs someone better. Yes, you do get into the world of women's soccer more than some may like but I didn't find it excessive. It felt like it was needed to make the story feel real. And lets face it, the two main characters eat and breathe soccer so it makes sense. This is a 16 hour Audible book. For me, that’s a huge investment of my time on one story. So I was looking forward to a sweeping romance and a passion that could not be denied. That's not what I got. I was surprised at first when many hours of listening passed (4-5 hours) and there was no hint of any of this. The main characters interacted for about 30 seconds at this stage. I persevered however, because I read (not listened to) a wonderful slow burn novel by Zapata called ‘Dear Aaron’ and I loved that one. So I know this writer can do romance. I hoped a good romance would build up here too but sadly, I didn't experience it.

con ser de apellido hispano, ya le encanta a según qué personal, por aquello de ser modernos y diversos y, como yo digo, «dame diverso, sí, pero que esté bien»; a cada estrella que ponen a algo diverso yo le quito una, porque asumo que hay este sesgo y This book goes straight to the shelf with my favorite books because it combines three of the things that I value most in life: kulti’s love confessions to sal fr had me screaming into my pillow, i was losing my mind!! i want this man for myself. It was the worst non-break-up ever in the history of imaginary relationships with a man who didn't even know I existed." As a formerly serious athlete myself with a SUPER tight relationship with my own father, I related to Sal in spades.and i just love how the romantic development felt so natural? honestly, this is kind of a bad thing for me because this was one of the first romance novels i've ever read and it really set the bar too high for me. The term ‘slow’ applies to the book KULTI. But not ‘slow-burn.’ I felt no heat between heroine Sal and hero Kulti that made me want them to be together. While I liked Sal, I didn’t like Kulti. He is outwardly cold, non-responsive, brooding, rude. In fact, he’s a silent, dead weight for the bulk of the story. I was surprised when he announced Sal was his best friend. I didn’t see that. People are going to judge you regardless of what you do, Sal. Don't listen to what they have to say because at the end of the day, you're the one that has to live with your choices and where they take you. No one else is going to live your life for you." ok no. but this book ruined every other slowburn book for me tho. if a book doesn't have the whole strangers to enemies to rivals to acquaintances to hesitant friendship to full-on friendship to best friends to girl is oblivious that guy is in love with her but we readers know that the guy is in love with her to lovers then i don't want it. So you may understand now why I adore and respect German football coaches – even Reiner Kulti, in our case, who (let’s face it) he may have been an excellent footballer…

It is not, though as I said, there are minimal sex scenes so don’t expect a smuttok extravaganza (if you must know, Kulti has just two. And fine, they’re good! But god damn, you really have to wait for them). O dalších deset let později má Sal za sebou pár úspěchů a ani ve snu by ji nenapadlo, že právě ten Kulti, který měl být jejím manželem, nastoupí do týmu a stane se jejím trenérem. Jenže velmi brzy Sal pozná, že není takový, jakého si vysnila. Thanks for the review! I wouldn’t have found this book otherwise, and stories where one can really feel the characters’ professions/callings (as Cait describes above) are my catnip.Yes, I probably shouldn’t have waited so long to read Kulti but it was a different experience listening instead of reading and I thoroughly enjoyed it. To top it all off, I was able to test the waters to see how I would go listening to an audio when I hadn’t read it first. Win, win all round. One. Zapata's ability to really, honestly make me believe the heroine has no idea the hero would literally perish at her feet for a single touch...it's mind-blowing. And very difficult to pull off, especially when her heroines are so damn smart and emotionally mature. It makes the moment where they admit their feelings CRAZY amazing. Like, fireworks during a grand slam amazing. kultisal officially owns a very special place in my heart. and y’all will probably see me rereading this book again sometime. i love them so much together ! they’re definitely going straight to my comfort couple list. they start off with disliking each other, because he’s an asshole, and she doesn’t take any of his shit, and he isn’t used to people telling him when he does something wrong/rude. and that slowly turns into a friendship between them, it’s a complicated friendship because kulti is a world-famous soccer player, and he’s not very good at communicating, but sal doesn’t give up on him. and y’all guessed it… then they realize that their feelings for each other is more than just friendship, because they’re falling in love. and i’m talking, partner in crime, best friend, and lover, kinda of relationship. which is the best type of comfort relationship/couple. when kulti went with sal to her parents' house, because he claimed he was “bored” >>> that was literally everything ! and don’t even get me started on them playing soccer together, because omg that was just the cutest. i loved how they both were so competitive, and didn’t “play nice”, and that he didn’t treat her like a little girl that would break, when they played. kulti knew sal was one hell of a soccer player. i’m collecting all the kultisal friendship moments, and taking them with me to my grave istg. and don’t even get me started on their bantering, because i could talk about it forever.
