Omg… first thing, I love the intro!!!! 😍 Such cute animation and music, adorable!! Also now I’m so nervous to read Spanish Love Deception hahaha I’ve been hearing only bad things recently 😅 but yes It Happened One Summer Was so fun! I agree about her dirty talk though lmao, I felt the same about it! 😅
Ah I am so relieved that you enjoyed It Happened One Summer. It is one of my favourite romances of last year, though I do agree with you on Tessa Bailey's dirty talk. I could not get through the first chapter of The Spanish Love Deception!
I’ve been waiting for your take on this! Your confusing feelings were spot on for my experience-how could I find it so cozy at some moments and hate the endless inner monologue at others? By the last 100 pages, I just needed it to end.
⛵ my favourite genre now is hearing Ashley complain about books she hate 😂 but yes, I feel like It Happened One Summer is a good quality romance. I love how mature the characters are so I don't have to sit through frustrations waiting for them to sort of what they're feeling. The characters are fully aware of what they each wanted, it's only a matter of having courage to go through it.
I’m really glad you ended up liking It Happened One Summer!! It’s a fun one, but yeah I totally understand about Tessa Bailey’s smut lol. Also, I know the Spanish Love Deception got edited down a lot when it was picked up by a traditional publisher, so it’s too bad you read the 500 page version lol. It’s soooooooo slow burn! I didn’t mind how slow it was but I also wouldn’t have been upset if it wasn’t that slow burn 😂 ⛵️
@@ashleyslittlelibrary Yes!! I saw it at target it yesterday so it’s out in the wild! I saw something about it on Insta I think, but it’s like 100 pages short I think 😯
Ashley I love this series you do, I'm on booktok but love these themed vlogs. Spanish love deception I've only heard not great things about to be honest. I've just added the other one to my wishlist very interested to read it - it happened last summer. Xo
@@ashleyslittlelibrary thanks lovely, been binging tons of your videos over last few days so if u see a comment on any of ur older videos 'no u didnt' hope ur doing well x
I watched the spoilers part just to reinforce that I'm never going to read The Spanish Love Deception haha. You convinced me to check out It Happened One Summer though!
I've been really getting into rom coms this year but I don't think I can handle a book as smutty as that last one as a thriller lover through and through hahaha
I really want to read the Spanish love deception because my cousin recently read it and she said she loved it. But if if the pacing is that slow i don't know how I will feel about it 😩
Apparently there’s a newer version that’s been edited down so would definitely recommend getting that version if you decide to pick it up and then hopefully it won’t be so bad!
I agree with you 💯! On BOTH! I have a question though… do you think the writing was quality? Because I could not believe how bad it was!! How many times can you talk about his blue eyes, large body, or call him “Blackford”????!!!!
yesss, I also gave 2 stars for The spanish love reception. This book just has no dimension, and so boring! It purely focuses on how attractive and hot and sexy Lina thinks Aaron is...

Thanks!! 💕 definitely would say save your time and skip Spanish Love Deception unless you want the slowest burn of your life 😅

Don’t blame ya! I struggled the first time around too

Exactly! It was just toooo long
I am so happy you enjoyed It Happened One Summer. I loved that book. The Spanish Love Deception sounds like a train wreck.

Oh my god there’s a shorter version?!?!? I feel like I’ve been punked lolol

😂😂 I’m dying at how different our experiences were for It Happened One Summer. “I could nit pick this”….don’t worry, I got you on that! 💀
Hahaha honestly with my track record I’m surprised I was able to enjoy it and look past the things I would typically nit pick 😂
I’m not much ok TikTok but when I’m at indigo I always check out the books trending on TikTok . I’ve liked a lot but I’ve DNF’d one or two

Lmao as a fellow working woman…. Big no 🤣 neither of these books sound like my thing but I’m glad you at least generally enjoyed one of them!
Alright, you’ve convinced me to pick up It Happened!!
Hope you love it!!

Yeah, Tessa Bailey's sex scenes and dirty talk are just Not It for me
