The Spanish Love Deception

By Elena Armas
The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A TikTok sensation, this rom-com about a young woman who agrees to fake date a colleague and bring him to her sister’s wedding has “everything you could want in a romance” (Helen Hoang, New York Times bestselling author).

Catalina Martín desperately needs a date to her sister’s wedding. Especially since her little white lie about her American boyfriend has spiralled out of control. Now everyone she knows—including her ex and his fiancée—will be there and eager to meet him.

She only has four weeks to find someone willing to cross the Atlantic and aid in her deception. New York to Spain is no short flight and her raucous family won’t be easy to fool.

Enter Aaron Blackford—her tall, handsome, condescending colleague—who surprisingly offers to step in. She’d rather refuse; never has there been a more aggravating, blood-boiling, and insufferable man.

But Catalina is desperate, and as the wedding draws nearer, Aaron looks like her best option. And she begins to realize he might not be as terrible in the real world as he is at the office.

Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“I must admit Lina (MC) sometimes irritated the hell out of me 😅 However, Aaron is chef's kiss! 👌I found the beginning pretty slow and over-descriptive. If it would be up to me, I'd cut it in half 😆 but the second part was fantastic! Not my favourite book, but it's a good read.”
Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“Ohh, Aaron and Lina 🤤🤤 The Spanish Love Deception had been sitting in my mini library for two whole years because I just couldn’t move on from The American Roommate Experiment. But now? I get it. I knew the moment I picked this up, I’d fall just as hard, and yep—I totally did. Aaron and Catalina? Ethereal. Their love feels like something straight out of a dream, and the way Aaron expresses his feelings? 🥰 Boy set the standard too high, I fear. And Lina? She had her own battles to fight, but she proved that being vulnerably strong is what truly makes a woman. 👠✨ Overall, the slow burn was painfully good. The tension, the buildup—it had me suffering because I wanted to speed through, but I just had to savor every moment. Absolute torture. Absolute perfection.”
Slightly Smiling Face“I accidentally read The American Roommate Experiment first which I think made me not love this book because I already knew the outcome. Overall a cute fake dating romance novel though!”
Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“After reading 3 chunky books and 1 classics, which were a bit too heavy for my reading skills, I find this book really fun. Finished it in 2 days.”
