“Trust me, I’ve wanted to punch you in the face a time or five.” When the man you worshipped as a kid becomes your coach, it’s supposed to be the greatest thing in the world. Keywords: supposed to. It didn't take a week for 27-year-old Sal Casillas to wonder what she'd seen in the international soccer icon - why she'd ever had his posters on her wall or ever envisioned marrying him and having super-playing soccer babies. Sal had long ago gotten over the worst non-break-up in the history of imaginary relationships with a man who hadn't known she'd existed. So she isn't prepared for this version of Reiner Kulti who shows up to her team's season: a quiet, reclusive shadow of the explosive, passionate man he'd once been.

This book WRECKED me! I’ve read slow burns before but I had no idea that it could be THIS slow… and I LOVED IT! The relationship between Kulti and Sal was so beautiful. The nicknames killed me. The grumpiness Kulti always sported. I can’t. Definitely one of my favorite books! ♥️

Sal and Kulti, power dynamics, Slow Burn, soccer sports romance, he puts her first
Slow Burn meant a boring plot, I wanted more emotional development. Maybe this was because it was only a single point of view? Why did they love each other?
I did not care about soccer, nor why she traded? The interview phobia was never a problem?
