I loved this story. It kept me engaged the entire time and I felt like everything was well thought out. I actually liked this one more than "The Spanish Love Deception". This gets four stars for me because it delivers on everything you expect of a romance novel. There's a fun "pretend to be dating" trope, a couple spicier scenes, happy ending, and humorous moments.
My only critique is that who ever is editing these books needs to pay attention to detail. There's at lest 5 mistakes I came across. For example saying "her" when they really meant "him". I'm not sure since Armas is a Spanish writer if it was originally written in Spanish and what's really off is the translation. But even that didn't make sense with my minimal knowledge of Spanish. Stuff like that just bothers me.

“because i would have known then, that i’d been single only because no one had ever stolen my attention, scattered my thoughts so effortlessly. so completely. not the way you did.”
“i want you with every cell in my body. every nerve termination. every bone. every ounce of who i am.”
first off, i love our girl rosie. i love that she broke the stereotype of men having to do the cliche stuff most of the time. i love how she expressed what she felt with no hesitation and how much she was such a swoon-worthy character herself. she slayed!!!
lucas…ugh another perfect man that miss armas made. i loved him so much. his personality, his humor, his love for rosie, EVERYTHING!! he’s literally so perfect and such a golden retriever which i never usually see these days in the books im reading so his gentle, goofy personality made me so giddy to see.
their relationship as a whole was so beautiful. the equal giving and taking, the share of emotions, them taking care of each other. i love how both of them are cliche to each other and that usually its always the guy in books doing more romantic things and saying romantic words, but in this book its BOTH characters and i loved it so much i cried. i was so overwhelmed with the intensity of their relationship to the point i CRIED. i loved this book so god damn much. i wasn’t expecting a lot from it, and i just read it knowing that this was a spin-off of one of my fav romance books but this exceeded my expectations. this book also improved so much on the character depth compared to tsld as this had more connection, more backstory, and it really made us connect more to them. honestly i dont know which book was better so i’d say they’re both equally perfect.
a million stars !!!!!!

“Esto no es una calle de sentido único, Rosie. Tú me cuidas, yo te cuido. Nos cuidamos el uno al otro. Somos un equipo.”

This book made me roll my eyes a lot of times; it felt like a workout.
One of the things that annoys me in a book is when they always say, "we're just friends" but they're obviously not "just friends"? It's so stupid and frustrating. And it didn't help that both FMC and MMC were boring. I don't really care to know more about them.
This is the second book I DNFed. Now that I'm comfortable doing that, I will no longer waste my time reading books that just annoy me.

Never thought I’d fall in love with a man named Lucas, but here we are
This was not great, to be honest. I was really excited to learn more about Rosie, but I think this book fell into the issue of making the main characters not have much of a personality and having a little too many romance book stereotypes. I felt like the two main characters were just so physically attracted to each other that we didn’t get much more development on an emotional level. There were also parts that should have just been cut (her family scenes for example). I feel like the book would have been stronger if all the focus was on the two leads. So, I finished it because it was an easy read but it’s not quite the level of The Spanish Love Deception.
