jat mir auf jrden fall echt gute Laune gemacht, zu lesen und ich bin sehr schnell vorangekommen.
Super gut auch für zwischendurch!
Ich mochte die Charaktere sehr gerneee. Das Knistern war auf alle fälle da, die chemiee hat gestimmt und der ennemies-to-lovers-trope hat mich gut unterhalten.
Beide Charaktere michte ich sehr sehr gerne, Catalina hat mich nur ab und zu bisschen genervt, aber jetzt nicht soo immens.
Kleine Kritikpunktee hab ich allerdings schoon:
- zunächst mal: DER ANFANG war irgendwie übelst lost, wenn man von diesem ennmies trope ausgeht...WARUM SOLLTE aaron so unbedingt mit nach spanien wollen?! Alsooo er akzeptiert einfach dieses nein so gar nicht und will lina so dringend davon überzeugen, dass sie sonst niemanden findet...das fand ich schon etwas cringe
-- sobald sie aber nach spanien fliegeeen mochte ichs voll gerne und fand die beiden so so süüüß udn auch die family situation sehr unterhaltsam
- gleiches problem, das sophia schon angemerkt hat in ihrer review: diese random plotline, dass lina für die hochzeit hungert und dann sofort aufhört, als aaron ihr sagt, sie soll nicht(?!) ...hätte man einfach weglassen sollen, meines erachtens
- es war irgendwann etwas anstrengend, dass lina zum 100. Mal erwähnt hat, dass sie und Aaron nicht zusammen sein sollten, weil er ihr Boss sein wird....so entweder du lässt es oder du kommst damit klar!?!?
- beim Ende hat mir auch eine Sache so nen üblen Beigeschmack gegeben, was man hätte, in meinen Augen, anders lösen können....und zwar :
Find aber so als Sommer-/Strandlektüre ist es sehr gut geeignet. Wenn man auf der Suche nach eienr leichten, cutsie Lektüre zum Kichern und für gute Unterhaltung, dann ist dieser ennemies to lovers Roman supidupi geeignet!!

The writing was... not great. Clunky sentences, things were worded strange for characters, and there were whole paragraphs and pages of "filler" that felt repetitive - all of the things going on in Lina's head that seemed to just loop. I admit to skimming a lot of those sections. Also the part in Spain was a shockingly small part of the book?
I did like Aaron's character. Sure he could be stand offish and cold, definitely didn't deal with things in the right way and said "baby" way too much - but I felt like his character had more depth in some ways than Lina.
Anyways. The banter was fun, I liked the fake dating aspect. This is NOT enemies to lovers though. It was a fine read.

This book was exactly my cup of tea. Oh, how I loved it! Fake-dating, enemies-to-lovers, THERE IS ONLY ONE BED! This was just awesome. I inhaled this book. I couldn’t put it down, and when I was not reading (because of commitments), I was thinking about this book. The relationship between Lina and Aaron formed rather slow, but I rooted for them since the moment Aaron started to help Lina at work. There had been a lot of misunderstanding and miscommunication between them, but in the end, the worked it out. Oh, how I rooted for Aaron and Lina. Their relationship and trust grew so much in just a few days. Their chemistry was so steamy and the spicy scenes towards the end of the book were even steamier.
I loved all the Spanish bits and pieces that were mixed into this story. It is exciting to not only read books from US or British writers. It brings a new perspective. I don't understand Spanish at all, but I loved it and found it authentic to not fully translate some Spanish thoughts and sentences.
This book was like a warm (steamy) summer read. It warmed my heart and made me feel so many feelings! I squealed with happiness, cringed with second-hand embarrassment and was just overall giddy reading about this couple. I can't wait to read the next book in the series!
