This is a cute, light romance with a fake dating trope. There is enough substance to make it interesting and give some deeper meaning to the romance. A good beach read. (Pretty spicy)

Minor: Drug use

The author uses a lot of ableist language. She is especially fond of using the word, crazy. She also uses deranged, insane, mad, and psycho. She references both alcohol and drugs. One of the main characters suffers from panic attacks, which the author treats relatively well, despite her overuse of stigmatizing language.

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.

A slow burn book. I loved how the author “rejected” and was kind of against the couple at the end until the final few chapters where it all worked out. I loved this book and love this author. I was blushing, laughing, and talking to myself explaining parts of the book.
Definitely recommend

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this book. I really liked the Spanish Love Deception so I thought I'd give this one a go and much as it was sweet it just felt... I don't know. Different. 

For one, I kept wanting more content of Lina and Aaron's happy ending rather than focusing on Rosie and Lucas, frankly their story wasn't that interesting tbf and the general plot line was mainly their relationship. BUT; it is a romance book so that's understandable. If you want a cute, sweet romance to read on a beach (just like I did) its perfect, in my opinion The Spanish Love Deception had a lot more content and plot and generally felt like a better book. 

Despite this I did enjoy reading the scenes and it did make me smile and laugh at times. Not my first choice of book, but not the worse either.
