Rain's Reviews > Kulti

I listened to the new audiobook and it was fabulous! It includes the second epilogue previously found on MZ's webpage. Kyla Garcia and PJ Ochlan did a wonderful job on the duet narrations and multiple different voices!

Forever a favorite.

*****

This is one of the most authentic romances I’ve ever read. It doesn’t rush into anything. It’s preconceived ideas, misconceptions and hurt feelings. Snarky banter, and the slow breakdown of emotional walls that allows two stubborn people to fall genuinely in love.

‘The King’ has been noted for his perfect attendance at her games and has been spotted wearing her jersey without fail.

*****
This is hands down the BEST slow burn I've ever read. There is constant tension, and the banter and snark is on point. Not to mention the steam is quite spicy for an MZ book, granted we don't even get a sample until close to 90% in....but it's worth the wait.

I love Sal's fiery strength. She's not a pushover, she has so much passion about her family and those she loves. I love the nicknames, and the jokes.

I love that Kulti is a complete asshole, but not in a mean way, he's just completely dismissive to her and everyone. I absolutely adore how much he cares for Sal and how he keeps quiet about it.

Whenever I’m in a reading slump, I pick up this paperback. It just makes me happy to read. I first listened to the audiobook, read the ebook, and have now purchased the paperback.

*****
This is the absolute BEST father/daughter relationships I’ve ever read. The friendship they have, the banter, the LOVE is so beautiful.

“I know. You’re too good for him, but I’ve taught you better than to be so conceited.”

I loved Sal’s inner dialogue throughout the book.

It was the worst non-break-up ever in the history of imaginary relationships with a man who didn't even know I existed.

What I loved most about Kulti and Sal's relationship is Sal’s pure depth of character. She is such a good mirror for Kulti, showing how to live life without losing yourself to all the distractions.

“Soccer has given me everything, but it’s also taken away just as many things.” He gave me a sad determined look. “I don’t want it to take you away as well. You are the least shameful thing in my life, Sal.”

Oh my gosh, the laugher, and the nicknames! There were moments I just cracked up!

“Eyes up here, Taco.”

And this gem.

“I’m not crying.”

“You are the worst liar I have ever met.” He moved to rub my shoulder. “Why are you upset?” Every time he asked, I somehow managed to cry harder, my body shaking more; there were actual noises coming out of me.

“It’s stupid.”

“More than likely, but tell me anyway,” he said in a gentle voice.”

I would rush out in a minute to purchase a Kulti POV, that stinking grump.

“I managed to suck in a tiny breath and aim a smirk at him. “Can I give you another hug or is that over your daily allowance?”

The German shook his head. “Have I told you that you remind me of a splinter I can’t remove? You’re incredibly annoying.”
