But what do you do when you loss all hope and sense of living. The immense joy you once used to find in yourself, when you were your biggest supporter but now when people tell you to say three positive affirmations about yourself; all you see in the mirror is a monster who hates you and wants to ruin your life. The worst part is that you let that monster destroy you.

✩✈️🔑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

it's so fucking painful how clear is from the start that Aaron likes Lina but she just keeps misreading everything, I'm on chapter ten and I could've told you in the first one

aaron blackford quotes
“Do you think you can tell Catalina to turn around? I’d appreciate talking to her face and not to the back of her head.”
“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.”
“Fine. So, I said that. Doesn’t mean I’m that desperate.”
“That’s what truly helpless people would say. But whatever makes you sleep better at night, Catalina.”
“That was odd.” The same deep voice came again. “But I guess it goes with your personality.”
“He straightened to his full length. “A nerdy Clark Kent?” His brows furrowed. “Is that supposed to be a compliment?”
“What are you doing?” I asked him.
“You asked me that question already.” He pinned me with a bored look. “What does it look like I’m doing?”
“I don’t need your help, Blackford.”
He sighed. “I think I’m having another déjà vu.”
“I heard Aaron’s long sigh. “If you ask me if it’s poisoned, I swear—”
“I don’t want to waste more time arguing about something you are too stubborn to admit, so yes. Sure.”
“I don’t need you, thank you very much.”
“Sure,” he repeated, turning my exasperation one notch up. “Although I think you do.”
“You think wrong.”
That brow rose higher. “And yet it sounded like you really do need me.”
“I’ll let you think about it. You know you have no other options.”

So, I'm here at work and one of the students is talking to the psychologist and here I am listening and thinkibg about her questions...
Man, if I go in there I'm sure she is going to say I have a reality problem, she might ask me to stop reading and fantasizing about fictional characters (fictional men) and I'm not ready for that. I'm happy in my little bubble, I LOVE READING AND I LOVE MY FICTIONAL MEN.

It can't be just me right that loves imagining herself in the place of the female protagonist in stories? Even if it's fiction, I love the feel of being 'loved' by the significant other character. It makes me so happy, content. Like, 'yes, baby you aren't real but at least in an alternate universe I was yours and you were mine, and in that world I got to love you and had the absolute honour to have my feelings reciprocated' way.
I love the idea of being in love. Life doesn't offer me that so fiction does. (Fictional boyfriends on the rise)
I just completed reading The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas and I already miss Aaron Blackford.
