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."

Im only on chapter 5 and im about to throw away my phone out the window, unable to listen to any more of the aaron narration voice by the voice actor. Should have just kept her normal voice 😒😩
Not giving up on this completely but most likely gonna read it instead.

Very predictable but fun listen. Narrated in English but some Spanish phrasea are not translated.

This is one of my top comfort reads. But the emotion and romance just doesn't come across with the narrator. I find her really difficult to listen to.

good story...not a fan of the narration

I’ve had to stop halfway through this unfortunately. The voice actor is slightly irritating but in general definitely not the worst I’ve ever heard. The story though… awfully predictable and I can cope with a bit of damsel in distress but in 2022 it’s a bit much for every other line to be about how big and strong he is and how weak and pitiful she is.

Random, poorly handled disordered eating sprinkled into the storyline for no other reason than for her to faint into his arms was gross too.

Not quite right

I finally gave in and read this highly hyped book, and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. The classic tropes of the romance genre were there: fake dating, forced proximity, enemies to lovers. My main problem with this story was that it was just so long winded - talk about a slow burn! By the time the lovers finally got it on, I was heartily bored with them and couldn't get invested in their relationship.

Each of the main characters irritated me at times. Catalina, for being a bit of a doormat and letting people walk all over her (both at work and in Spain), and Aaron for failing to stand up to blatant sexual harassment that happened right under his nose in a work meeting.

I know miscommunication is another classic trope, but these two people could have saved each other, and us, a lot of time by having a grown-up discussion about their feelings for each other. I think it's clear that I'm not a fan of this book.

Disappointing
