The Spanish Love Deception: an enemies to lovers romantic comedy

The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas is an enemies to lovers romantic comedy. Catalina Martin had made a horrible mistake. In order to get her mother off her back, she claims she has a boyfriend. And now the family, and her ex and his fiancée, is expecting him to be there. Now she desperately needs to find a date, a man to pretend to be her boyfriend, for her sister’s wedding. She has four weeks to find someone who is willing to join her in Spain and take part in this deception. With the clock ticking, not just any man will do because her family won’t be easy to fool. Her tall, handsome and condescending colleague, Aaron Blackford, offers to be that boyfriend. There’s no way she would be able to pretend with someone who aggravates her. When she realizes she has no choice, she reluctantly agrees. Soon she will see a side of Aaron she hasn’t seen before. Will her hate blossom into love? 

This book caught my eye at a store’s display for Hispanic Heritage Month and I love a good enemies-to-lovers romance. The beginning is a bit slow as Catalina refuses and fights against Aaron being her date but Aaron is persistent. He shows her that he is her best and only option. Once they arrive in Spain and the charade begins, the story heats up and the fun begins. I laughed. I cried. I sighed at the very romantic and heartfelt moments between Catalina and Aaron. They were great laugh out loud moments with Catalina’s family and sweet, touching moments with her parents. I enjoyed that their “happily ever after” took more effort as they returned home and to the real world. While Catalina is very stubborn, I loved that Aaron took his time and he was my favorite character. I closed the book with great satisfaction that it was well worth it. It is a sweet, funny and sexy story. I highly recommend The Spanish Love Deception!
