review 1: This was a rom-com type of read. This book was like the written story of What happens in Vegas or about the Carrie Underwood song Last Name. It was cutesy and fun and a little sad but things worked out and it was happily ever after. I LOVED that the story took place in Spain. I lived in Spain for 4 years when i was younger and believe me it IS that romantic. I loved that Jess eventually made HER OWN decision after realizing she had been letting everyone else make her decisions. The fact that Fernando love his momma, is easy on the eyes (brain in my case), and tries to woo her even when she has said she doesn’t want to marry or be married to him endears me to Fernando a bit. Sometimes I feel as thought it is much easier for me to like a male character vs a female one.Some... morethings though: the story was a bit choppy to me and could have flowed a bit smoother. there were a couple of times that i had to backtrack to make sure i didn’t double tap on accident or something when i know i didn’t.There was A LOT of information on Fernando but not really about Jess. The info we do learn is through her agonizing if she is doing the right thing or not by leaving Fernando. It was a bit predictable but I mean *shrugs* when you’ve read romances a bunch it’s bound to happen The last thing was Evie. The best friend. she just kind of felt like an after thought towards the end of the book and not very well thought out. I know she is there for book two but still she just felt like an extra. Gustavo, who made and even more brief appearance, felt like less of an imposter. It was almost weird especially since that is Jess’s best friend.For me this wasn’t a read that i would buy the 2nd book. I enjoyed the story but it wasn't anything that riled serious interest or devotion.
review 2: I picked this book up while it was free on Amazon. I had no great expectations for it, but it sounded a little different as I hadn't read a book featuring a matador before. Well, Fernando is an ex-matador and I would have really have liked to have seen more of that aspect of his life brought out in the story. And perhaps I prefer stronger female leads, but throughout most of the book I just wanted to shake Jess as she was so wishy-washy. less
