The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas
4.0
Pick this up if you love:
- Grumpy and sunshine
- Fake relationship
- Slow burn
- Workplace office romance
- One sided enemy to lovers
- Single bed situation
What I loved
- This was a light, mindless and quick read that I could skim through without missing important detail.
- Aaron and Catalina’s relationship was so sweet! I loved their interactions, the tension, chemistry and the subtle unsaid things between them. I had to try not to smile like an idiot when I was reading in the living room and other people were around!
- I am a huge fan of Aaron. I loved how he treated Catalina, noticed the small things and looked out for her, it was so sweet and endearing! Aaron was a broody character so when he smiled it was a big deal.
What I wasn’t a fan of
- It was a slow start. The story and conversations dragged on, but when the focus shifted to Catalina and Aaron, I loved it.
- It felt like all the effort in writing the book was during the vacation and after returning, the last third of the book felt like an afterthought. Just throw in one more challenge for the couple, gloss over it and then that’ll do.
- This wasn’t the enemy to lovers I expected. I was hoping for a better set up for why they were enemies in the first place, for their interactions to be fiery and intense. But instead Catalina’s hatred was one sided and Aaron was too good to her!
- I didn’t deduct any stars for this but I don’t actually like workplace office romance because that reminds me of my job and I want to read to escape, not to be reminded haha!
