“Remember to pick the boy that will plant a garden for you instead of just getting you the flowers.”

Elena Armas, The American Roommate Experiment

[novel--notes]

How is it possible that it feels like you are breaking my heart, and I haven’t even had you yet?

[eldiariodetiara]

But you are. You are worth all that trouble. You are worth walking through a fucking fire. Don’t you see that?

Elena Armas, The Spanish Love Deception

[stargirlie25]

Yall read what you want.

I mean who literally cares if it has horrible writing and no plot? Or you learned nothing from it and it was cliche as hell.

So? You had fun and thats what matters.

Im an epic fantasy and dark romance girl but trust me i love stupid little rom coms. They are exactly what i need after an intense book.

Like yes the author might have used present tense when the statement requires past tense but idgaf. All that matters is that i had fun.

Im not like ´´well there were multiple grammatical errors in this novel and as a person who majors in English this is clearly unacceptable🤓 ´ ´

No i seriously do not care.

So yes i like the off campus/briar u series. Yes i like the American roommate experience. Yes i like the bellamy creek series. And yes they are all chessy as hell but i had fun

READ WHAT THE HELL YOU WANT

with that being said i will forever judge people who love credence by penelope douglas.

Looking back at a period of my life, probably pre-Icebreaker, when I haven't read sentences like, "I want to feel you milking me, baby," from The Spanish Love Deception. *sighs*

To those waiting on love, be patient. Love is a total drama queen. It’s just waiting to make an entrance.

✩✈️🔑Duology Review:

⋆ Mutual Pining

⋆ Contemporary romance

⋆ Different protagonists each book

Armas’ “The Spanish Love Deception” duology has a special place in my heart!

Her unique writing style made it easy of fall in love with the fictional couples in both TSLD and TARE and deeply resonate with each character’s respective struggles and flaws. Additionally, the tropes in both books work to make the storyline more compelling and enhance the reading experience. 

While I am sad knowing that there won’t be anymore books set in the same world, I absolutely CANNOT wait to read Armas’ new book “The Long Game” in September!!!

➤ The Spanish Love Deception: 4.5 stars ➤ The American Roommate Experiment: 5 stars

➤ Overall Duology Rating: 4.75 stars

catalina martin quotes from the spanish love deception

“The chances of him,” I told Rosie, “being actually serious are the same chances I have of having Chris Evans pop out of nowhere and confess his undying love for me.”

“Ignoring me won’t make me disappear. You know that.”

I did. “But that doesn’t mean I won’t keep trying,” I muttered under my breath.”

“Sorry about that, Aaron. We are not ignoring you.” Her grin strained. “We are … debating something.”

“We are ignoring him though. You don’t need to spare his feelings. He doesn’t have any.”

“If you could, tell Aaron that I don’t think one can laugh at, or much less understand, jokes when one lacks a sense of humor, please. That would be great. Thanks.”

“I’m pretty sure my words are reaching Catalina down there just fine, but if you could tell her that I have work to do and I cannot entertain this much longer, I would appreciate it.”

Down there? Stupidly large man.”

“I did not use that word.”

“You … sort of did, sweetie,” my best friend—no, former best friend as of right now—confirmed. Eyes narrowed, I mouthed, What the hell, traitor?”

“you must be experiencing serious hearing issues because, yet again, you heard wrong. I don’t need you, Aaron Blackford.” I swallowed, willing some of the dryness away. “I could write it down for you if you want. Send you an email, too, if that’d help at all.”

“She did,” I heard Miss Traitor confirm. My head whirled in her direction. “What?” She shrugged, signing her death sentence. “You did, honey.”

I needed new friends. ASAP.”

“And did you not say that your ex-boyfriend is the best man and thinking of standing in the vicinity of him, alone and lame and pathetically single—those were your words again—made you want to tear off your own skin?”

I had. I had said that.”

“At some point in the past, I would have thrown darts at a poster of his face.”

“Nothing to think about.” I cut my hand through the air between us. Then, I smiled my version of Rosie’s fake, toothy grin. “I’d take a chimpanzee dressed in a tuxedo before taking you.”

“Haven’t you watched any romantic comedies ever?” I watched the scowl deepen. “Not even The Wedding Date?”

No answer, just more of that arctic staring.

“Do you even watch movies? Or do you just … work?”

“I’d rather give up chocolate for a full year than admit to Aaron that he was right.”

“Lina: I have no idea what you mean. Is he waiting for something?

Lina: Something like a heart transplant? I heard he doesn’t have one.”

“He pointed at me with the pencil. “This? Seriously?”

I snagged it out of his hand. “It cheers me up.” I dropped it in the cup. “Does it offend your tastes, Mr. Robot?”

“I have no idea why you have this impulse to fly in with your red cape like a nerdy Clark Kent and save the day, but no, thanks. You might look a little like him, but I’m not a damsel in distress.”

“You’ve never needed anyone to fight your battles, Catalina. That’s one of the things I respect the most about you.”
