I both hated and loved this book!
It is infuriatingly slow. The chapters seem to drag on for the longest time and are very repetitive. I think the book could have been edited down by about 100-150 pages and nothing would be lost. I also didn't feel like there was any real "problem" for the MC's to overcome. They spend the first half of the book going back and forth about an issue you know is going to be solved based on the title! However, the time spent in Spain feels short and just focused on them falling in love (way to easily for an enemies to lovers in my opinion). I didn't think there was any "breakthrough" moment for the characters.
With all those negatives in mind, I still came to enjoy the book. Although not very original for a romance, it's cute! The characters are lovable and Aaron Blackford is my new book boyfriend. I love him and he can do no wrong.
