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!

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
