I enjoyed The Spanish Love Deception, and I see why it is a favourite among some readers, but it wasn’t the greatest romance novel I’ve read. I love the enemies to lovers trope, although I do think it was way overdone - during the first 10 chapters I thought “we get it, you hate Aaron.” Overall, I did really enjoy it but I do have my grievances.
