Is The Spanish Love Deception Worth Reading?
by Elena Armas
Ada’s Score
Elena Armas's debut romance follows Catalina Martín, a Spanish scientist working in New York who needs a date for her sister's wedding back in Spain — and ends up relying on the one colleague she cannot stand, the tall and infuriating Aaron Blackford. What follows is a delicious slow-burn enemies-to-lovers road trip romance with crackling sexual tension, big family chaos, and genuine emotional depth. Armas writes with enormous warmth and humor, centering a Latina protagonist in a genre that rarely does. This self-published-to-bestseller phenomenon became a TikTok sensation and launched one of romance's most celebrated new voices.
Romance Radar“Pure joy — the banter is electric, the slow burn earns every page, and Lina's voice is completely irresistible.”
Infuriating, Irresistible, Completely Inevitable
Elena Armas takes the fake-dating trope and runs with it all the way to Spain — and the banter between these two is so sharp it practically sparks off the page. You'll spend the whole book alternately wanting them to kiss and wanting to shake them, which is exactly how it should feel. Perfect for a weekend when you want your heart to do something fun.
