![]() ![]() ![]() How cool is that? Travelling between the pages of a book is something I have always enjoyed and more so when I can see it from my two favorite characters’ pov. I mean this book takes you to Spain and New York. I like that it comes with a lot of add-ons and entertainment and not just a simple plot where it is only about the man and the woman. In a way, though, I had already predicted what the outcome of the story will be like – boy meets girl, girl meets boy, and boom they fell in love – but this did not stop me from thoroughly enjoying the book. While I was very reluctant about The Spanish Love Deception, it made me reminisce about all the good romantic novels that I had read during my Wattpad days. You hold that kind of power.” – Elena Armas, The Spanish Love DeceptionĪaron Blackford, what have you done to me? This man has just climbed up my Top 10 list of book boyfriends, and I intend for him to stay there no matter what. You… can light up entire rooms, Catalina.
