The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas

3.5

Lina's just promised her family she will go to her sister's wedding in Spain with her beloved boyfriend, but there's just one catch: he doesn't exist. Cue fake dating, awkward moments, bed sharing, and the realization that she might actually be in love. 

This book had the potential to be great, I really liked the writing style and the story itself was perfect. However, a few things kept distracting me as I read. The Spanish was a bit annoying because I kept having to read the same thing twice in different languages when the translation appeared right after. One a more serious note, Lina seemed really childish, the way she talked to a colleague she wasn't even friendly with, calling him ridiculous stuff like Mr. Robot to his face, felt really immature and unfair. And Aaron, the love interest, was possessive to the point of making me feel pretty awkward. However, the tension between them was very well achieved, and once their relationship started to progress it was all much better. 

All in all, this is a fun read if you're in the mood for romance. It's not perfect, but it satisfied all my cravings.
