The Spanish Love Deception

Wanted a light read and tried my hardest to give this book time but it's just not for me. The way it starts, with Lina talking to Aaron with her back turned to him and using her friend as a proxy for, what, at least thirty minutes? Yeah it wasn't a good first impression for me. There is something interesting here and there when Lina talks about herself, her family, her past, but that's about it. Also, I get it that it's a romance with tropes and silly situations but when Lina's getting dressed and she ignores Aaron's knocks on the door for absolutely no reason, so he comes barging in? At least make it that she's listening to music and doesn't hear the knocking? I was also not a fan of all the repeated "I don't need help - yes you need help - I don't need help - yes you need help" scenes (the wedding date, the work thing, the car lift in the rain...).
