Moreover, there are a lot of situations when both of the characters do and say things that seem to not correlate with their character and personality. However, everything comes together closer to the end. At first, his motivation is unclear and his behaviour is not at all consistent.

Nonetheless, it is he who willingly comes forward to become the fake wedding date. His appearance is always fraught with tension and certain uneasiness. Whenever he shows up within Catalina’s eyeshot, he is either arrogant or sarcastic. On the other hand, she is infantile and stubborn, tending to overthink what others would think of her and it’s these thoughts that lead her to an unexpected decision: to take a fake boyfriend to her sister’s wedding.Īaron Blackford is a cold, Edward-Cullen-like-man. She works hard and everything she owns, including a high-standing team-leading position in the company, was achieved solely by herself. What may look like a conventional enemies-to-lovers romance with non-dimensional, flat, static and unnaturally oddly behaving characters at first, turns the impression of itself upside-down from somewhere around chapter five onwards and continues to do that until one puts the book down at 6am.Ĭatalina (Lina) Martín is on the one hand, a young, ambitious 28-year-old Spaniard living in Brooklyn, NY. A refined auction with an impressive lot is interchanged with a bachelor-slash-bachelorette party in Spanish north, a loud cheerful family, a newly engaged ex, and the truth about themselves and the world that both of the main characters are yet to uncover… Here, the rapid succession of events begin. Nevertheless, those two agree on a highly peculiar deal: to pretend to be each other’s date (or even more than a date) on a crucial family event-a wedding. Although, the most important word here is “seem”. It did absolutely not disappoint! In fact, the impression it made was totally opposite-surprise, astonishment, and amazement.Ĭatalina and Aaron work together in an engineering consulting company right in the heart of New York City and they do not seem to like each other. There was no particular reason for me to want it so badly, but I did, and I did not expect the novel to be anything exceptionally mind-blowing. However, by the time the launch of The Spanish Love Deception, I couldn’t wait to lay my hands on it. I don’t remember how I met her under the nickname in the vastness of the Bookstagram community, but when I saw Elena launching her debut novel, I thought there might have been a chance I would like to read it, which by itself was already a curious occurrence since I haven’t experienced any craving for a romance book for quite a long time.
