Cute, good banter
Did this as an audiobook and the narrator was not the same for the first book in the series, which detracted a little for Lina and Aaron characters. Also did not like Lucas’s voice, it was too…breathy and low timber for an audiobook

Good book just was really unnecessarily long so I rushed to get it over with.
3.5 stars—can’t bring myself to the full 4. The biggest issue I had was the start of this. I felt like Rosie and Lucas had *zero* chemistry, but Elena Armas definitely built it up as it went on. This is the true definition of a slow-burn romance. It was kind of the opposite of her debut, where the chemistry started out fantastically, but fizzled by the end. However, this was definitely better than The Spanish Love Deception.
Considered not finishing the book, but I was waiting on library holds and needed something to tide me over... The protagonist mentions needing to meet a word count for her publisher, which seems like a blatant author self-insert because she could have used half as many words to better effect. I also found part of the premise creepy (the protagonist herself admits she's obsessed and social-media "stalked" the love interest). I also found the audiobook's way of dividing the narration odd and distracting - the two main characters sound vastly different in different chapters because the each voice actor did their own chapter for all characters, rather than voicing their own character throughout the book.
The slow burn was too slow in the end, it as too cramped up.
And why would you allow someone back to your life just like that after making you feel like shit?

DNF on page 130. I just can't. I've never facepalmed so much while reading a book. This was so bad.
