Pages upon pages were filled with nothing but fluff. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find a piece of Martín’s personality that I could relate to. Instead of creating a main character that’s clumsy and cute, Martín was annoying and oblivious. Once the predicament is established, the reader must suffer through the next 400 pages inside the mind of Martín-a rather irritating place to be. Obviously, Blackford will be Martín’s date to the wedding, but for some reason, it takes half the book for him to convince her that he’s her only option. Once the predicament is established, the reader must suffer through the next 400 pages inside the mind of Martín-a rather irritating place to be.” Instead, the reader is met with a man who is incapable of expressing his feelings but is blatantly head over heels for the woman he works with. Or, at least, that’s what I thought the main love interest would turn out to be based on the book’s synopsis. Then enters Aaron Blackford-a dark, reserved, and egotistical man who happens to be alluring and sexy. With the knowledge that her ex-boyfriend will not only be the best man but is also now engaged, she feels pressure to prove to her family that she is happy and has moved on from her prior relationship. The plot revolves around Catalina Martín and her desperate need to find someone to act as her boyfriend at her sister’s wedding.

From the moment I saw the cover, I felt destined to read and love this book, even with the hallmark quality plotline that I anticipated within every modern romance. My hopeless romantic personality, love for the enemies-to-lovers trope, passion for the Spanish language, and an upcoming trip to Spain aligned perfectly with the glistening book title: The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas.
