I really enjoyed this book! I liked the characters and the premise of the story. I liked that there was Spanish and Gaelic easily added in and you could pick up the meanings from context. And there was a mix of representation which is lovely to see! I'm very excited to read the spinoff sequel since I saw it is sapphic.

My only criticism is that this heavily relied on the two characters just not talking to each other which is something I struggle with... it makes me very frustrated as the reader. BUT I still thoroughly enjoyed the fake marriage trope.

I loved this! The characters, the romance, the spice, the Latina representation, the hot Scottish man, the badass feminine power, saucy comebacks. Everything was delicious and delightful and I loved it.
