Publisher’s Blurb

A wedding. A trip to Spain. The most infuriating man. And three days of pretending. Or in other words, a plan that will never work.

Catalina Martín, finally, not single. Her family is happy to announce that she will bring her American boyfriend to her sister’s wedding. Everyone is invited to come and witness the most magical event of the year.

That would certainly be tomorrow’s headline in the local newspaper of the small Spanish town I came from. Or the epitaph on my tombstone, seeing the turn my life had taken in the span of a phone call.

Four weeks wasn’t a lot of time to find someone willing to cross the Atlantic–from NYC and all the way to Spain–for a wedding. Let alone, someone eager to play along my charade. But that didn’t mean I was desperate enough to bring the 6’4 blue eyed pain in my ass standing before me.

Aaron Blackford. The man whose main occupation was making my blood boil had just offered himself to be my date. Right after inserting his nose in my business, calling me delusional, and calling himself my best option. See? Outrageous. Aggravating. Blood boiling. And much to my total despair, also right. Which left me with a surly and extra large dilemma in my hands. Was it worth the suffering to bring my colleague and bane of my existence as my fake boyfriend to my sister’s wedding? Or was I better off coming clean and facing the consequences of my panic induced lie?

Like my abuela would say, que dios nos pille confesados.

My Review

One weekend, especially Christmas weekend, curled up in a blanket with a bowl of soup. That is all it took me to read this no fluff, simple but delightful story. I loved that it did not having unnecessary and complicated twists that simply make the readers too anxious. 

It had the right dose of everything. 

The Spanish Love Deception is an enemy’s-to-lovers, (office colleagues), fake-dating turned to romance kind of romantic comedy. 

Final Verdict

Breezy, and perfect romantic comedy with the qualities of more than a delightful entertainer.   

Who Should Read This

Just Right for those looking for a sexy slow-burn romance with the most adorable Happily Ever After. Warning though - a few steamy scenes included. 

Elena Armas

Elena Armas is a Spanish writer, a self-confessed hopeless romantic, and much to Mr. B's dismay, a proud book hoarder. After years of devouring HEAs and talking--okay fine, yelling--nonstop about them, she has finally taken the leap and decided to create some of her own.

She hopes these stories make your heart skip a beat or two, your palms a little sweaty, and your cheeks flush in that rosy pink that makes other people want to peek at the page you are reading.
