The Spanish Love Deception

by Elena Armas

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 
WINNER OF THE GOODREADS CHOICE AWARDS DEBUT NOVEL OF THE YEAR. 
A BOOKTOK SENSATION. 

A wedding in Spain. The most infuriating man. Three days to convince your family you're actually in love. . . 


Catalina Martín desperately needs a date to her sister's wedding. Especially when her little white lie about her American boyfriend has spiralled out of control. Now everyone she knows – including her ex-boyfriend and his fiancée – will be there. 

She only has four weeks to find someone willing to cross the Atlantic for her and aid in her deception. NYC to Spain is no short flight and her family won't be easy to fool. . . But even then, when Aaron Blackford – the 6'4", blue-eyed pain in the arse – offers to step in, she's not tempted even for a second. Never has there been a more aggravating, blood-boiling and insufferable man. 

But Catalina is desperate and as the wedding gets closer the more desirable an option Aaron Blackford becomes. . . 

The Spanish Love Deception is an enemies-to-lovers, fake-dating romance. Perfect for those looking for a steamy slow-burn with the promise of a sweet happy-ever-after. 

"Everything you could want in a romance is right here." 
Helen Hoang, author of The Kiss Quotient

DNF after 3%.

Just couldn't stand the dialogue/characters. The first few pages were pure dialogue – just really childish fighting. Imagine two people fighting, and refusing to speak to each other, so they communicate via a third person standing with them:

Catalina: "Please tell Aaron that I do not need a date!"

Friend: “Aaron, Catalina says that she doesn't need a date.”

Aaron: “Please tell Catalina that she obviously does need a date and that she won't find anyone else in time.”

Friend: “Aaron says that he thinks you do need a date and that you won't find anyone else in time.”

I couldn't stand it.

Maybe it gets better, but I'm ready to move on to something else…
