Our view
“The Spanish Love Deception” is a slow-burn office romance for readers who enjoy the enemies-to-lovers pattern played out at full length. Its many fans evidently like the light, comic tone and the long wait before the leads give in. Some readers find the heroine’s antics embarrassing and the hero’s intensity closer to possessive than romantic, and at nearly 450 pages the build-up takes its time.
