I LOVED This RomCom

 The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas 

This book had some of my favorite tropes: fake dating, enemies to lovers, only one bed. Aside from office romance, what's not to like? The banter was top tier. The yearning. The longing. I was smiling and kicking my feet for most of this book. If you're going to tell me that some Clark Kent looking man with the body of superman wants to be my fake date to a wedding in SPAIN and he wants me to be his date to a charity gala where I have to spend his money to make sure that nobody else wins him in a bachelor auction, count me in. Immediate yes. The way their communication improved throughout the course of this book. And when he told her, 'when I kiss you, I want you to know it's for real' or whatever he said? He was making sure she knew from the jump that he wasn't pretending. He was only pretending because that's what she needed in the moment. He was so down bad for her. He started learning Spanish for her specifically for this trip. The only thing this needed was for them to end up engaged. And when she FINALLY confronted her ex! She needed that. That was the thing that finally allowed her to really acknowledge and accept her feelings for Aaron. I ate this up. I don't care. I was down bad for Aaron. Whatever Elena wants to write, I'm reading. I'm not sure how she's going to top Aaron for a love interest, but I'm going to buy it.
