This book was so cute. It was slow at the start for me leading up to the trip to Spain, but I love Catalina and Aaron so much. The Martin family was so lovable, and their trip satisfied my fake-relationship-turned-real needs. The last couple chapters slapped me a lil silly with the conflict but overall, enjoyed the book.

This book was so hard to get through for me. It was mis-advertised as enemies to lovers (they were not enemies), and the fake-dating plot which was brought up on page one didn't start until 50% of the way through. The first half of the book could have been cut out, the dialogue was painful, and it was really repetitive (she called his eyes "ocean-blue" over 15 times). I pushed through all 500 pages of this book, but it wasn't worth it.

The Spanish Love Deception was an incredibly slow burn. They didn’t even kiss until like 80% into the book!! This book encapsulates the enemies to lovers trope which personally I love. Something that brought it down to 4 stars for me was how annoying I found Lina at the beginning of the book. She is an extremely strong-headed and stubborn woman. I love how she is portrayed as a strong and independent woman for the rest of the book, however at the beginning she is so stubborn and childish, which I found really frustrating. Aaron is so sweet and compassionate after you get to know him and they make a really good couple. Overall, this book was romantic and comedic and genuinely a good read.
