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!!

Being Spanish myself I appreciated the little things of Spanish culture and conversations in Spanish but that's it.
Yes, there were some parts of the character's dialogue that was good but the plot was weak and there were almost no descriptions creating the white room effect (I think that's what's called).
The smut scenes and dirty talk were a bit too much for me (I must say I'm not really a huge smut fan). And the pet names (in English and Spanish) made me cringe.
I didn't get why the protagonists fell in love for each other and the only explanation I thought was just lust.
The writing was very choppy. It felt like the author knew the scenes she wanted to write but it just ended up being a mix of scenes without cohesion and no context between them. The wedding (that was one of the central focus if the whole book) wasn't even described!!!! I do not understand it, really
Overall, not a good read and I would have like to invest my time in another book, honestly

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!
