Publisher's summary

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 twenty-seven-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 that 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.

Nothing could have prepared her for the man she got to know.

Or the murderous urges he brought out in her.

This was going to be the longest season of her life.

Thanks

Loved the bonus epilogue:) Thank you, Mariana. The characters in this book now feel like old friends that I just had the chance to catch up with.

Fantastic new audio!!

The duet performance of this audiobook really brought it to life for me. I’ve read this book before a couple times and the previous audio almost made me DNF it the first time. It makes such a difference to have a duet audio and voice actors who can do decent accents.

Forever a Favorite

I've loved this story since I found MZ's books and Callie's narration has a special place in my heart but this new duet version just reinforced this to forever be a favorite.

5 stars always

This was a great remake. I still love Callie’s narration more BUT I’d never give MZ any less than a 5 star rating no matter what!

Outstanding rendition

Mariana Zapata has a way of creating relatable characters that you truly fall in love with. Kulti was the first book of Zapata’s that I read, and I quickly devoured all her other captivating stories.

Sal and Kulti’s story is such an epic slow burn. This story has great humor … honestly, I’ve read this story countless times, and was still laughing throughout this listen.

This narration was very well done and I didn’t want to stop listening. I originally fell in love with the version by Callie Dalton, but this dual narration is fantastic (the male narrator does SO MANY accents, it’s amazing).

Amazing New Version

As a massive fan of the Callie version (I’ve listened to it at least 10 times) this is a great new adaptation. You just can’t compare it to Callie’s. If that one wasn’t out there, I think everyone would absolutely be obsessed with this version. The male narrator has to do so many accents, it’s so impressive to hear them all come to life in a male voice.

All that being said, this is a fantastic story with the classic MZ slow burn. It’s just so good. Sal grows up worshiping soccer phenomenon, Reiner Kulti. When he becomes her new assistant soccer coach, she finally realized what the phrase never meet your idols means.

Kulti is the ultimate grumpy a-hole and it is so much fun to watch his relationship with Sal develop. Don’t get me wrong their relationship goes up and down throughout the whole book, but as Sal will tell us, we always fight with the people we love the most.

This is my desert island book, and it is so much fun to now have 2 versions of the audio. 10/10 recommend picking this one up,

Tropes:
Coach/soccer player
Age gap (27 F and 39 M)
Sports romance (soccer)
Enemies to friends to lovers
