From the author of the Goodreads Choice Award winner The Spanish Love Deception, the eagerly anticipated follow-up featuring Rosie Graham and Lucas Martín, who are forced to share a New York apartment. Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn’t told her family and now has terrible writer’s block. Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily she has her best friend Lina’s spare key while she’s out of town. But Rosie doesn’t know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been stalking—for lack of a better word—on Instagram for the last few months. Lucas seems intent on coming to her rescue like a Spanish knight in shining armor. Only this one strolls around the place in a towel, has a distracting grin, and an irresistible accent. Oh, and he cooks. Lucas offers to let Rosie stay with him, at least until she can find some affordable temporary housing. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He’ll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. Rosie has nothing to lose. Her silly, online crush is totally under control—but Lucas’s time in New York has an expiration date, and six weeks may not be enough, for either her or her deadline.

HOLY FREAKING SHIT!!! THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD!!!
It's like Elena Armas went deep into my brain, and scour for what I want in man to create Lucas Martin! He's so dream and his remarks are just heart fluttering and knee-breaking. I was a puddle way too many times reading this book. Acts-of-service girls, you need to read this!!!
Now, let's talk about her. Rosie Graham. What a hot girlboss?!! She did 180-degree career change and succeed like the world belong to her. Ughh to be her!
This book was, unfortunately, a miss for me. I really wanted to love Rosie and Lucas's love story, but it just didn’t leave a lasting impression. The dating experiment felt uninspired, and both characters came across as a bit too chaotic—especially Rosie. The pacing was slow and monotonous, and I found myself wanting to rush through to the ending. While I hoped for a deeper connection and more engaging development, the story never quite delivered. If you're a fan of slow-paced romances, you might find some charm here, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. A love story that, sadly, lacked the spark I was hoping for.
