The Fake Dating Trope is always one that I am guaranteed to enjoy. I can’t imagine it really happening in real life. But I still enjoy the journey of reading it. I particularly loved how Lina’s desperation for a fake date makes her turn to an “enemy” of sorts, and just how well these two tropes worked together.
From the very beginning of the storyline, it was fairly obvious that Aaron has some big feelings for Lina. But, that didn’t take away from the pure enjoyment of reading about their tale. I loved how their story unfolded and Aaron was able to gently lead Lina to understand some of his past actions, and all of the misunderstandings that lay between them. Plus, I do love just a little predictability in my romances.
Most romances, I don’t pay a lot of attention to the setting. Its normally not something that fascinates or intrigues me. That was not the case with The Spanish Love Deception. The backdrop of Spain was just amazing. New York as a starting location was fun, Spain and all of its countryside beauty was distractingly beautiful. Maybe because I want to actually visit Spain… the family and chaos of Spain and Lina’s life over there was absolutely adorable and unforgettable. Something that really just added a gorgeous extra layer to an already seriously enjoyable romance.
This was my first book by Elena Armas even though she frequently pops up as a suggested author. I may have found it a little slow to get started, but I definitely loved this. And now I can’t wait to read more stories by Armas.
