Some clips of Tenoch in Tare. I'm convinced Tenoch AND Chan are conspiring to be the death of me. I ain't mad because what a way to go! 😆 Holy mother if God, I really, really, really need this to release. Just these few moments are giving us so much. I'm aching again! 😫
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

Some sketches from the past year, I keep forgetting to scan things :B Featuring mostly me trying to figure out how things from my writings look like, or redesigning some old ones. And an unfinished Stray fan art.
This article is from a few years ago, but still really interesting. The background of this film and how they collaborated is fascinating. I saw the line about it releasing in a couple of weeks and got excited until I saw the article date. 😆 Hopefully this will still be released in the near future. It just has to make it to the public.
Andrea is now my hero! Her first time acting, she convinces Tenoch to co-direct and co-write the script, and they end up doing the nasty on screen (at least it's implied). Girl is living my dream!!
EDIT: Thanks to @TenochVerse on X for posting this article link on that platform. Forgot to mention that before. 😉
ELENA ARMAS, YOU DESERVE ALL THE CRONUTS IN EXISTENCE FOR THIS MASTERPIECE OF A BOOK!
“The American Roommate Experiment” truly is a love letter to romance novels. Armas incorporates all of the best tropes (fake relationship, forced proximity, friends to lovers) in her newest release and writes from two perspectives for the very first time.
I fell in love with Lucas the moment he graced the page and loved every chapter told from his point-of-view. He cooks, is a dog lover, has the best laugh, and embodies romance. He truly is the definition of a cinnamon roll character, which I found to be a breath of fresh air considering the abundance of grumpy bad boys serving as the main love interest in romance novels nowadays.
Armas takes her time developing Lucas’ character and making sure that he has depth. Through his actions, we learn that Lucas is willing to prioritize the happiness of others over himself and that he is struggling to confront the demons of his past.
Luckily, Rosie gives Lucas the love and support that he needs. She complements him every way and I loved watching her come to that realization towards the end of the book. Their slow burning romance makes their relationship all the more realistic and, in my opinion, satisfying.
I really admire Rosie’s character and enjoyed following her storyline as an engineer turned romance writer. Her decision to chase her dreams is a message that I know that many readers will resonate with. Rosie is also fiercely protective over her family, which helped me further relate to her character.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my love for Armas’ incorporation of the Spanish language and the warm fuzzy feeling I got every time Aaron and Lina from “The Spanish Love Deception” made a cameo. I absolutely loved catching up with them.
This book truly has a special place in my heart. I cannot wait to reread it again and again until Armas new book comes out in fall 2023.
