Kulti
by Mariana Zapata
the coach/player romance of my dreams - dal and kulti had the slowest slow burn but i loved ebry minute of the tension. it was built so nicely and realistically, there were no weird power dynamics you can usually find in these types of relationships but just a fun grump/sunshine dynamic.
kulti was hilariously grouchy and sal a genuinely lovable mc who tries to be the best version of herself. their characters fit perfectly because they both had areas where the other helped develop each of them individually.
when I say long slow burn, I mean they don't kiss until near 90% but it's so worth it, and just so them, it doesn't come off out of character and it works.
that epilogue of.. kulti retiring, sal kulti just yes they're married!!
the love confession from my favorite German bratwurst was simply beautiful, some quotes I saved from this book:
"What would I gain from telling you the first moment I realized you were meant to be mine? Nothing. You’re supposed to protect what you love, Sal. You taught me that. I didn’t wake up one day and know I didn’t want to live without your horrible temper. I saw so much of me in you at first, but you aren’t like me at all. You’re you, and I will go to my grave before I let anyone change any part of you. I know that without a doubt in my mind. This,” he pointed between us. “This is what matters. You are my gift, my second chance, and I will cherish you and your dream. I will protect both of you. “I’ve been waiting, and I will keep on waiting until the time is right. You are my equal, my partner, my teammate, my best friend. I’ve done so many stupid things that you’ve made me regret—things I hope you will forgive me for and look beyond— but this, waiting a little longer for the love of my life, I can do."
"Your loyalty and friendship amazes me every day. I have never wanted anything more in my life than I want your love, and I don’t want to share that with anyone. I haven’t done a single thing in my life to deserve you, schnecke, but I will never give up on you, and I won’t let you give up on me."
"Someone could tell you that they loved you every day, but still lie and cheat. Or they could never say those three words, but be there for you every day and be more than you ever wanted or dreamed. He wasn’t warm or cuddly, quiet or particularly nice to others, but he was nice to me, and in my heart I knew he would stand by me every time I needed him"
my first zapata book and it was excellent, highly recommend, 1000/10, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
