This book was so sweet. Lucas is like the perfect man, I think I fell in love with him while reading this too. Elena Armas does so well with intertwining the serious stuff with lighthearted humor. I wish we learned a little bit more about Olly and his situation, it seemed like it was going to be more but then kinda just faded away. I will also add that this book is medium paced but the romance is a slooooow burn. Very low angst though, which is a plus!

I liked this better than the first one and connected better with the characters overall, but this series still doesn’t wow me. The story, romance and characterisation were all solid if not spectacular. I felt the ending was rushed and we got very little of the “what comes next”. There were several loose ends - I really would have liked to have heard more about the subplot with the FMC’s brother. I did enjoy the use of romance tropes as a way for the both the main romance and the FMC’s writing career to progress.

Easy quick read. The female main character had her standards in the pits of hell. But I am glad this ended well. It was cute.

After reading this, I only got one question left: Where the hell do I find myself a guy like Lucas Martín???

This book was pure romance! The American Roommate Experiment by Elena Armas is the second book in the Spanish Love Deception series. It's a standalone book. Rosie is a romance author and lost her creative touch. When her best friend's cousin comes to New York they work out a plan in which Lucas helps Rosie finding her romantic touch again. What can go wrong on experimental dates, when both find each other attractive?
After reading and loving The Spanish Love Deception, I knew I had to read Elena Armas other books as well. And I fell in love with this one as well. This book is the total opposite of The Spanish Love Deception. It's slow-burn (no kissing until like page 300 or so!!), a little bit of fake-dating and incredibly romantic. Everyone needs a Lucas! He goes out of the way to make Rosie comfortable and to help her with her new book. He is the nicest. I loved reading about Lina and Aaron again. And I loved the pits and pieces of Spanish throughout the book. The book just made me feel so happy and warm.
With all my heart, I can highly recommend this book! Elena Armas is a wonderful author. This book was so romantic, I sometimes couldn't cope. It made me feel giddy. I can't wait to read her other books!

I loved Elena Armas’s first book and this one was no different!
I adored Rosie and Lucas and their relationship so much. Did it sometimes border on overly cheesy? Absolutely! Did I mind? Not one bit (although the sex scenes were a little much for me, but that’s more personal preference). I will say that, sometimes in books like these, I just want someone to bang the protagonists heads together because, my god, they don’t make it easy…
Reading about Lina and Aaron again was so enjoyable and I can’t wait to read more by Elena Armas!
Also, is it just me or does the illustration of Lucas on the cover remind you of Paxton from Netflix’s Never Have I Ever? 😂
