Enemies to Lover, Fake dating trope, sunshine and grumpy. All my fav tropes into one. Him being so utterly head over heels for her as she is oblivious to it. The slow burn, one bed situation. So good although their is one line that could live without (iykyk)
the ten mentions of his ocean blue eyes per chapter made me want to clone myself just to be able to push myself off a cliff
It took me a while to get into this one. As other readers have mentioned, thereâs definitely some repetition with our female lead here. I found myself doing some light skimming which is pretty unusual for me. I wish we could have spent more time in Spain with Linaâs family - watching the romantic relationship grow, but also to see Aaron build more connections with Linaâs family. I liked them together and the spicy scenes were a pretty good payoff near the last 25% of the book. However, we probably could have easily trimmed 100 pages off the book and been more satisfied.
Stars: 4.9/5
Spanish Love Deception was written by Elena Armas, turning into a full package through lines in which classic enemies-to-lovers and fake-dating tropes resonate. The story is focused on Catalina "Lina" Martin, a Spanish woman living in New York, together with her colleague Aaron Blackford.
When Lina needs someone to take her sister's wedding in Spain, she begrudgingly consents to Aaron accompanying her-after all, she cannot stand the guy. One of the significant strengths of this novel is its slow-burning romance that builds up tension between Lina and Aaron slowly but surely. Armas does an excellent job of developing that relationship from animosity to understanding and, finally, to love. Witty repartee and playful antagonism among the characters ensure coming back to enjoy the narrative. Well, Lina, insecure with high independence, is understandable, while Aaron is a brooding but caring hero. There is an observable chemistry between them, and the nature by which their dynamic evolved feels natural and satisfying.
To me, this book was so satisfying, and I really loved it. It was a slow burn of a romance kind and maintained my hook, and the love was really pureâ¤ï¸
