“Because it was all you were willing to give me. And I’d rather have you hating me than not have you at all.”
When I picked up this book, what I got was exactly what I was hoping for. The enemies-to-lovers romance, the bickering, the mixed signals, the slow burn? *chef’s kiss*
But then Aaron spoke again, “I’ve never been scared to work for something, Catalina. Even when all odds are against me.”
“It’s like you want me to beg. Is that something you’d enjoy? Me begging?” His voice sounded so … intimate. Hushed. But it was his next words that scattered my thoughts all over the place. “Is that what this is? You like bringing me to my knees?”
“It’s sexy, but don’t ever feel like you need to impress me. I already am.”
It all started when Catalina needed a fake date ASAP to bring to her sister’s wedding. For no other reason that her ex, the one who broke her heart and then stepped on it, was the best man. And so, she is left with no other choice but to bring her annoying coworker who she can’t stand. But, as she gets to know Aaron Balckford and he shows his true colors, Catalina realizes he is not so bad after all. But, is the chemistry worth it? Are the stares, the kisses, the little acts of love that make Catalina swoon for Aaron worth it? To make yourself vulnerable? To willingly give your heart to someone and hope they don’t crush it?
“Life was messy and often hard. It did not wait for anybody to be ready or to expect the bumps on the road.”
“I couldn’t know how or why. Didn’t even have the slightest idea. And wasn’t that part of the mystery of life? Part of what made it breathtakingly exciting? Unexpectedly beautiful? We couldn’t control and tame emotions to our convenience.”
And Aaron, god. Aaron is such a dream

Lo primero de todo, como podréis ver por el título el libro está en inglés. Creo que el nivel no es excesivamente complicado, aunque creo que hay algunas estructuras que hacen que compliquen más el "entenderlo", no son como los libros de Colleen Hoover, que tiene una sintaxis sencilla. De todas maneras si tenéis un nivel B2 os recomiendo leerlo con paciencia porque la historia totalmente lo merece.
La historia es un enemies to lovers y fake relationship, dos de mis clichés favoritos. He amado a los personajes desde el segundo uno en el que aparecen.
Catalina es ese personaje que siempre tiene una sonrisa para todos y trata de hacer su trabajo de la mejor forma posible. Tiene esa personalidad divertida y una forma de ser con la que es muy muy fácil empatizar. Además, a través de ella vemos lo que significa ser mujer y trabajar en una empresa de ingeniería, algunas de las escenas donde se refleja esto me daban bastante rabia, pero es la realidad de bastantes mujeres.
En cuanto Aaron es un personaje serio que no expresa demasiado sus emociones, pero que por todos los gestos que tiene sabes identificar perfectamente lo que piensa y siente en todo momento. Además, todos los gestos que tiene con Catalina a lo largo del libro y como habla con ella...
Aunque el comienzo de ambos personajes no fue el mejor Aaron se va con Catalina a España (ambos viven en NYC) para la boda de la hermana de Catalina. Aquí todo se complica un poco, porque muchas cosas se acaban revelando.
La representación de la familia de Catalina me ha encantado y ha sido super divertida. Las escenas que ocurren en España son simplemente * chef kisses *. Si buscáis una historia adictiva, divertida y que atrape os la recomiendo muchísimo.

exactly what you'd expect from a romance book but it was well written to keep me reading on :) not a bad first book to be reading after my slump
4/5
kinda uncomfortable with the romantic scene when aaron was waiting for his dad in the hospital.. just feel like it doesn't fit and kinda inappropriate
