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.

I loved this book so much I didn’t really know what to expect from it but i really truly enjoyed this read i was getting a tiny a bit annoyed at close to the ending when every time Lucas and Rosie were about to have sex and interruption happened i was so happy when it finally did I didn’t know i enjoyed friends to lovers so much i honestly thought i hated that trope until i read this book and realized i love it and this book honestly didn’t give me any anxiety i was getting more nervous then anxiety i wouldn’t say this book is super spicy it did have spice in it but not allot and miss Elena Armas is the queen of slow burn so just keep in mind that you will be waiting for them to have sex for along time honestly it was a shock to me cause it was really long but this author masters the slow burn not only do you wait but you get teases and so much built up anticipation so when it does finally happen it’s like the best thing ever and the wait was worth it normally i read dark romance so the main male characters are very dark sexual and toxic so Lucas was a little different then what i normally read he was very sweet and treated Rosie so good like a man truly should but lord did that gentle kind man switch turn off during sex with Rosie i really enjoyed this book more then i honestly realize and now that I’m really realizing other then the sex scenes this book was really sweet it was very soft sweet and gentle in my thoughts if the sexual thoughts and content had not been in this book it would be the most sweetest book ever it would truly be a cozy soft read and i also loved how we got to see Aaron and Catalina in this one😁😍overall i rated this book 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The slowest of slow burns, whose deliciousness was tempered by my frustration — and the high page count. Armas’s characters are impeccable and lovable as always, however! Mostly just makes me want to read TSLD again…
