About this listen

 From the author of the Goodreads Choice Award winner The Spanish Love Deception, the eagerly anticipated follow-up featuring Rosie Graham and Lucas Martín, who are forced to share a New York apartment.

Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn’t told her family and now has terrible writer’s block. Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily she has her best friend Lina’s spare key while she’s out of town. But Rosie doesn’t know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been stalking—for lack of a better word—on Instagram for the last few months. Lucas seems intent on coming to her rescue like a Spanish knight in shining armour. Only this one strolls around the place in a towel, has a distracting grin, and an irresistible accent. Oh, and he cooks.

Lucas offers to let Rosie stay with him, at least until she can find some affordable temporary housing. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He’ll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. Rosie has nothing to lose. Her silly, online crush is totally under control—but Lucas’s time in New York has an expiration date, and six weeks may not be enough, for either her or her deadline.©2022 Elena Armas (P)2022 Simon & Schuster, UK Fantasy Romance Fiction New York

To be honest I wasn't expecting a lot from this book, and the pace at which Rosie talks through the first scene annoyed me at first. But it really, REALLY grew on me! The build up to the inevidable outcome was a wonderful, juicy and touching slow burn that really had me feeling for both characters!! So much so that I might actually return for a re-read again sometime.

Made me happy dance!

Story was good, male voice actor was terrible. I hope they re-record one day with someone else

It was a nice story line i just wasn't a fan of the voice for Lucas he seemed to be always breathless and whiny not suited for the character in the book.

I really wanted to love this book but it was a little bit boring for me. I think it was probably too long so it seemed very slow. I thought it was good but not great

It was a cute plot line, both characters very likeable, though I agree with other reviews stating how frustrating it was that they couldn’t just say what they were feeling! Everything was very predictable, but I guess that makes it an easy listen. My problem was the narration - why they chose to use a woman to narrate Rosie AND Lucas for some parts, and then a man for Lucas and Rosie in others was beyond me. I feel like it could’ve been negotiated so that they each performed their own role, rather than doing both characters for the chapters from their character’s perspective. The male voice was a bit cringey, very breathy. Overall, an ok story but performances were not it.

Cute story, weird choice of narration

This was a ridiculously frustrating love story, with the protagonists being overly under confident and clueless throughout. Easy to listen to but so glad when they finally managed to communicate successfully after a long drawn out tale of relationship angst. Also the voice of the male was creepy and he made the females sound like idiots.

Two nice people in need of therapy

This was a super cute and adorable contemp book and I was seriously sad to see it come to a close. It's weird, contemp books aren't always my thing but this one was just a perfect, easy read that I really enjoyed. I need to find more books with this vibe coz it's the perfect night wind-down kind of story.

The characters you can't help but love, they feel real and perfectly constructed. They had depth and you seriously feel like you are right there with them, experiencing all the things with them. Loved the narration too! Well done Elena Armas!

Adorable & Cute story!!

I hope to look at books with narrations like this, as each chapter gave a different point of view for each character, I honestly think it’s worth buying, i very much got addicted to this and I wish I could find more books that are just like this. The author succeeded on changing the readers mood!

Absolutely intriguing just my type

My expectations for this book were not met. I felt it dragged on and I eager to get it over and done with. The male narrator also made it hard to get through, his voice was doing my head in! They way he read made him sound like a creep

Not as good as I was expecting

I wish I could go back to before I listened to this so I can relisten to it fresh again. Loved Lucas and Rosie! The Female narrator did a better job of Lucas' voice than the male narrator in my opinion but overall it was all great!

Beautiful.
