About this listen

A wedding in Spain. The most infuriating man. Three days to convince your family you're actually in love. . .

Catalina Martín desperately needs a date to her sister's wedding. Especially when her little white lie about her American boyfriend has spiralled out of control. Now everyone she knows – including her ex-boyfriend and his fiancée – will be there.

She only has four weeks to find someone willing to cross the Atlantic for her and aid in her deception. NYC to Spain is no short flight and her family won't be easy to fool. . . But even then, when Aaron Blackford – the 6'4", blue-eyed pain in the arse – offers to step in, she's not tempted even for a second. Never has there been a more aggravating, blood-boiling and insufferable man.

But Catalina is desperate and as the wedding gets closer the more desirable an option Aaron Blackford becomes. . .

The Spanish Love Deception is an enemies-to-lovers, fake-dating romance. Perfect for those looking for a steamy slow-burn with the promise of a sweet happy-ever-after.

Loved the story line and the voice was great! I got through it in one weekend! Couldn’t put it down!

I've read The Spanish Love Deception paperback 3 times. So I do like this book. Enough that I bought the other 3 Elena Armas books and have read them all 2 times each.
But I really wish they had gone a different direction with the narration. I can understand why they have used a spanish speaking women, as she nails the spanish parts. But I really don't like her voice for Aaron's parts, and even didn't like her as a choice for Lina.
I won't be relistening to this, even though I do like the book.

Sorry to say I don't think the narrator was the right choice.

I went into this feeling very dubious. I actually read the second book (that focuses on Rosie) first and so knew where Lina and Aaron end up but still wanted to know their journey.
It took a bit to get used to the narrator (again, having come off of reading the sequel with a different narrator) and I never really got used to the slight nasal inflection she gave to Aaron.

Surprisingly enjoyable!

Sorry was fine. Standard fluffy romance. Nothing memorable. Incredibly long slow burn. I imagine the tv show they make will be somewhat bland and will be only 1 season

Slow Burn

Honestly, this book was predictable AF, but I wanted something light and fluffy, and this delivered. It only lost a star as it was a bit waffley at times. I also would have liked more of it set in Spain.

Aaron Blackford is a new book boyfriend!
