What I Liked:
I really liked that Rosie is an engineer turned romance writer, because woman can do whatever they put their minds to accomplish and sometimes it takes a while to find your true calling. Lucas was super swoon-worthy having his ex-professional surfer body and amazing skills in the kitchen, which might be a new favorite combo.
What Bothered Me:
The story felt a little on the long side to me. There were some pieces of the story that I think could have been pretty easily removed, like the situation with Rosie’s brother, Ollie.
Overall:
If you liked The Spanish Love Deception, this is a fun follow-up, but maybe not immediately back-to-back because the fake dating theme the struggles to identify what’s real is very similar. While the two books are standalones, I think some of the side-characters will make sense if you read The Spanish Love Deception first.
