FIRST OFF!!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DEBUT BOOK🥹😭
I am in awe this is the first book by how much love was put into this!
Diego was such a sweet character🥹 He honestly wasnt much grump, all mushy gushy and such a sweetheart. I love how this man was very forward but was always so thoughtful in his decisions with Emma. He was the mannnnn of his family and it showed 🤭 The vibes were off the chart. I imagined myself there surrounded by all the grapes and taste testing wine and thats what a girl wants😩
Emma was spunky and SO FREAKING FUN. This girl got to her location and found a connection before she even let that jet lag hit😏 We love a girl who knows what she wants and goes after it. I absolutely love a forced proximity and this was so beautifully done. Her having to work for him, being forbidden and having to stay professional was 😚🤌 I love a girl who has the same taste of books in me hehe. Her character felt so real with her struggles and past trauma that made me want to hug her😭
Diego and Emma are too freaking cute(and freaky deaky🤠).
The way they met? Hot. The chemistry was OFF THE CHARTS. I was blushing hard core😏
I need book 2 like air!!!

4.5 stars!!!!
Wow this was truly something - I enjoyed this so much. It was funny, had the banter, had me GIGGLING and kicking my feet and my gosh the spice holy shit.
Emma gets a promotion and moves temporarily to Barcelona where on her first night she has a one night stand with Diego our hot resident. Turns out she is her newest client and she is in charge of rebranding and marketing his vineyard and wine family business.
The way he calls her sweetheart but then has the dirtiestttt mouth in the bedroom. I am so excited to see the sisters' stories too and hopefully a Mia & Lorenzo novella!!!

This is a cute romance novel with a good amount of spice. Emma and Diego were a cute couple especially with them getting closer while trying to save his families business.

What a cute and spicy adventure that was. I loved the FMC and MMC. They were believable and vulnerable but in a realistic way. I cannot wait for the rest of the series to unfold.

Thank you so much to the author, A.N. Lee for the ARC
Rose-Tinted follows Emma as she travels to Spain to start a new job. For 6 weeks she has the task of helping a local winery rebrand in order to try to save the vineyard that has been in the family for generations. While in Barcelona she meets Diego, a broody dragon (as his sister calls him) of a man. He lives nearby and works for his family's business. They immediately hit it off.
I REALLY loved this book. It's the perfect palate cleanser. I feel like I often read books with emotional devastation, or something heartbreaking along the way, but this book had none of that, which I absolutely needed. I will definitely recommend this any time someone just needs a good, happy read. It has a romance in a beautiful location, delicious food, and a man who calls you sweetheart while buying you books and gives you great orgasms? Sign me up 😉

Currently searching for flights to Spain…because this travel romance was adorable with a side of flirting, wine, and “this was supposed to be a one-night thing but I’m catching feelings.”
Emma gets a promotion and lands in Barcelona ready to thrive and immediately celebrates with a very HOT 🥵 one-night stand. Enter Diego: charming, smooth, calls her “sweetheart” like he’s harmless.
He is NOT harmless.
Surprise! He’s her new client and she’s now in charge of rebranding his family’s wine business/vineyard. Cue forbidden romance, tension, stolen glances, and “we absolutely should not do this again” energy.

Think Emily in Paris… but when she goes to Rome. If you know, you know.
Emma and Diego have that instant, electric chemistry. It’s very honeymoon-phase, all intensity, banter, and can’t-keep-their-hands-to-themselves tension. The flirting is fun, the connection is passionate, and the spice contains multitudes… Diego is gentleman in public, menace in private.

Barcelona itself feels like a character, sunny streets, wine-soaked evenings, and just enough escapism to make you want to book that trip immediately.
✨ One-night stand → forbidden romance
✨ Workplace tension + vineyard vibes
✨ Banter, chemistry, and heat 🔥
✨ Travel romance perfection
It’s sweet, spicy, and fun. It’s a perfect vacation read that might leave you craving wine, tapas, and warm summer nights.

I had the opportunity to beta read A.N. Lee’s debut novel and I absolutely loved it!!
Rose Tinted is a workplace travel romance with the yummiest grumpy golden retriever MMC and a sassy, funny, strong FMC. Their banter is so good and they are genuinely the cutest together. I loved how natural their connection felt and how easy it was to get pulled into their story.
This is the ultimate comfort read. I was giggling and kicking my feet through so many parts. The tropes really deliver and the spice is TOP TIER 🥵 You will be fanning yourself! And yes, he buys her spicy books with all her favorite tropes! Swoon!
Set in dreamy Barcelona and Spanish wine country, the setting felt vivid and immersive and added so much to the story. I’ve never wanted to hop on a plane more!
One night stand, older characters, anxiety rep, age gap, all woven into a fun, feel good romance that just works.
This is such a strong debut. I’m seriously impressed and already excited for what comes next in this series.

Barcelona is one of my favorite places I’ve traveled to, so reading Rose Tinted felt like getting to revisit some of my favorite spots all over again. ✨
Meet Emma, who lands a promotion that takes her far from the only city she’s ever known and drops her right into Barcelona, where she has six weeks to help rebrand a struggling family-owned winery before it shuts its doors for good. The catch? Her new client is Diego, the same mysterious man she shared an unforgettable one-night stand with just days earlier. 👀
As Emma works to save Diego’s family business, the tension between them is impossible to ignore. Watching them try (and fail) to keep things strictly professional made this such a fun, swoony read. The setting, the chemistry, the stakes—it all came together perfectly. 🍷💕

Thank you again for the ARC opportunity with Rose-Tinted!
An easy read with quick storyline and flow through. It follows Emma on a work placement in Barcelona who has a “one night stand” with Diego who happens to be her new client meeting the next day. Perfect. We love an accidental hookup trope.
Their relationship, both working and personal, grow as Emma tries to re-market the family business to save it from closure.
While a quick easy read, some of the relationships (with the sisters mostly) are not fully developed or explained. It feels slightly rushed but the future books in the series may build on these ones as it follows each sister on their adventures.
There isn’t a big “OH NO” disaster moment in the relationship that you normally get at around 80% of a romance novel that has the couple breaking up to then overcome it and have a HEA which is a nice change. All round a good palette cleanser book.
2 x 🌶️ on the spice scale (IMO)

I loved Emma and Diego’s love story!
Emma moves to Barcelona for a work placement and falls into bed with a sexy stranger… who later turns out to be her new client! Sparks cannot stop flying between these two and they struggle to keep things professional. Together, they work to save his family’s winery while falling deeper and deeper into their feelings for each other.
Rose-tinted is everything I look for in a contemporary romance! It was sweet and spicy, with a plot that moved at a good pace and great side characters. I can’t wait to read about each of the Hartman sisters but I’m also hoping we get Mia and Lorenzo’s story too!
A commendable debut from A N Lee - will look forward to more of her books!
I received a free ARC and am freely leaving an honest review. ♥️

Rose-Tinted is an absolutely fun and easy travel romance. I loved this book from start to finish. Emma is 20 something who just finished her MBA and is ready to take on the world! She gets an opportunity to work in Barcelona for 6 weeks. She takes the job and the night before she starts, she has a one night stand with Diego, a gorgeous local. Diego is doing all he can to help save his family's winery. As fate would have it, Emma's new client is Diego's family's winery! What a great adventure Emma goes on and grows a ton with Diego. They have such good chemistry and their banter is excellent. I loved their dynamic and how honest they were with each other. It made me reminisce on all my time studying abroad as well as all my travels in Europe! Can't wait to see what the other sisters' adventures bring us!

What a sweet book 🥹
I loved Diego and Emma so much, from their first little meet cute & then a little “we shouldn’t” workplace moment.
I really want to try this wine and those potato’s though … also are we going to get a Lorenzo and Mia book 👀
Can I feel something there?
Spice was spicing- “ass up” yes please sir 🍷
all in all, very cute & cosy vibes , plus tropes we all love!

This is such a cute contemporary romance! Emma and Diego grab your attention and just bring you into their world. The author does a great job of balancing the story and the spice while also introducing and foreshadowing the other sisters' forthcoming stories. A great debut novel!

Debut novel for author A.N. Lee and it was very well done. Heartwarming love story about Emma and Diego. I love the introduction to Emma’s sisters and the open ended way the story finishes leaves room for the sisters’ stories. Cannot wait for what else A.N. Lee gives us!

This is a book I’m sorry to see end! Emma and Diego are just so typical and there’s so much comfort to that. They aren’t millionaires, they aren’t closet rock stars. Hard-working characters who are easy to love who have inner monologues that had me laughing and crying with them.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I absolutely loved this story! Emma and Diego felt authentic and the plot kept me hooked from beginning to end. A truly engaging debut novel!
The author’s writing style was filled with fun banter and spice, making it hard to put down. Loved Emma’s teasing brat moments! Diego is definitely all man and the things he says 🔥🥵👏🏻 I can’t wait to follow the series and meet the other Hartman sisters! I would definitely recommend this to readers who enjoy contemporary romances with a focus on traveling abroad.

A Refreshing, Mature Romance in the Heart of Barcelona. My Rating 4.5
Spice 🌶🌶🌶
This was a fantastic, fast-paced read that perfectly balances "sweet and spice." Set against the beautiful backdrop of Barcelona, the author brings the city to life so vividly that it made me want to book a trip there immediately.
This was an incredibly entertaining and fast-paced romance that perfectly balances a "sweet-spice" vibe with the vibrant, atmospheric setting of Barcelona. The chemistry between Emma and Diego is instant and refreshing, anchored by their maturity and a direct, honest communication style that avoids typical misunderstandings, their flirting is top-tier. Diego is a compelling lead navigating the complexities of family expectations and personal independence, while Emma is a talented, bright protagonist whose professional drive and relatable dilemmas make her easy to root for. Overall, it's a light, sexy, and fun story that leaves you eager to see what's next in the following book.
My ARC eview is voluntary and reflects my honest opinion.

Rose-Tinted makes for a great debut contemporary romance novel. The age gap and work place romance in Barcelona was spicy and full of great banter.
Emma is adorable and sassy while she and Diego work together to save his family’s wine business. You can’t help but fall for Diego’s adoration for Emma (and meeting her sass with witty comebacks of his own) and his sister is so witty I was laughing by the end.
A.N. Lee has a way of making side characters feel vulnerable and real and leaves the reader wondering about them almost as much as Emma and Diego. Can’t wait to find out what happens next with the Hartman sisters and even Diego’s sister. What a fun ride.

I unfortunately could not finish it.
It was way too wordy because of all the filler scenes. It started off alright and was just dragged out to the max at some point!!
I do think if it was stripped down and rewritten it could be a lot better.
2⭐'s because it wasn't the worst. Especially not for a debut book!

ARC review!
This was SUCH a cute and fun read! I don’t read a lot of contemporary romance, but this one makes me want to read more.
I was nervous there wouldn’t be enough action or it would be slow, but I was SO wrong! I was hooked. Once I started, I couldn’t put it down. I literally stayed up all night to see what would happen.
My biggest green flag for this book was the characters working together against outside obstacles rather than pitting the MCs against each other. Spicy and wholesome at the same time?
Great read, looking forward to the rest!

Review of advance copy received from Author
Where do I begin?! I absolutely loved this book because I love, love. This story follows Diego and Emma on a journey of accepting love when it falls into your lap. I’m all for toxic love occasionally in my books but this love was not that and I couldn’t be happier about that. This love was so sweet, so wholesome, so captivating and so pure. It was so beautiful and deliciously spicy 🤭. Not too much and not too little, just the perfect amount. And don’t get me started on the banter!!! The banter was indeed bantering!
What a wonderful job A.N. Lee did on her debut novel !
It is the first book in a planned 4 book series following a different sister in each book. The author set the stage for all the sisters in this first book and I am so excited to see the rest of their stories and how love changes their lives.
Read the book. Take a chance on a new author’s debut romance .. you won’t regret it.

This was such a surprising and fun read! It’s a travel romance set in Barcelona and, at first glance, feels like a very sweet, cute love story… until you reach the spice 🌶🌶🌶. Then it’s like stepping into a completely different book (in the best way). It really lives up to the saying “never judge a book by its cover.”
The romance is very much in that honeymoon phase...lots of chemistry, lots of intensity. It’s written as love-at-first-sight, but for me it came across more as strong physical attraction. Still, it worked for what the story was going for and made their connection feel really passionate.
I’m definitely looking forward to continuing the series and reading about the other sisters. They all seem so different, and I think the variety will make for a really fun set of romances.
Overall, this is the perfect holiday or spring/summer read. With its April 23rd release date, the timing honestly couldn’t be better to dive into this spicy-sweet story.

Someone get me a plane ticket because I need to go Spain. Diego and Emma are the definition of a whirlwind romance and meeting the right person at the right time. The heat from Barcelona definitely transferred over into their love life because the spice in this novel was steaming! This is a new take on a workplace romance and I don’t think I can go back. I loved how it centered around the couple while also maintaining the workplace romance of saving a family owned winery.
This novel was such a cute and sexy read and I recommend it to those who love a destination romance, strangers to lovers, and a workplace romance. If you are looking for a fun novel, be sure to add this to your TBR!

I was lucky to get this book as an ARC and it was such a fun debut book.
I really felt like I could have best friends with Emma and that I was getting adventure updates from a friend. It was so exciting to read about a work focused girl get to live her dream of helping other’s with theirs. I loved that she was able to come in with fresh ideas and just wanted the best for her clients, no matter the cost.
The interactions between her and Diego were so much fun because they had such chemistry, that it was always a delight to see them interact with one another in all different ways. The banter was incredible as well because it was easy to feel part of the story.
It was also enjoyable to see that the characters had depths, whether that be their relationships with family or friends, or how they felt about their role and career.
I cannot wait for the next one in the series!
I was lucky to get this book as an ARC and it was such a fun debut book.

Ahhhhh, gushing over all the things!
This was such a beautiful read and right up my alley. Lee has done an incredibly amazing job developing realistic characters that you can’t help but to love, flaws and all. I am so looking forward to the rest of this series already.
Beyond Emma and Diego’s main love story, I particularly enjoyed the sibling dynamic for each of them as well. Again very realistic and dare I say, relatable. I giggled and scoffed and took sides and had a grand ol’ time!
Lovely pacing. And while you absolutely don’t need a specific reason to read this book, I’ve found it’s a perfect serotonin boost when you need a mental break from a heavier read. So yeah, I paused my current read and sprinted through Rose Tinted in just a day. Not because I was in a rush or anything, but literally just enjoyed it that much.

Barcelona, a sexy meet-cute, chocolate sauce, no third act breakup, and a man that falls HARD!
I absolutely loved Diego and Emma. Their chemistry was instant, their banter is fun and they just clicked so well.
Diego is so freaking swoon worthy! That man is a smooth talker with the weight to back it up, and boy does he know his way around the bedroom... and kitchen. Emma is such a loveable character. She is a bubbly personality that is a badass at what she does, and I love that she curses as much as I do!
This one had me laughing and swooning all the way through!
"A fucking neck kiss!?! Who in the world gives someone a neck kiss for a goodbye kiss?"
Thank you again, A.N. Lee, for the ARC copy!

ARC Review- Rose Tinted ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 ❤️🌹
I really loved that this was set in Barcelona and that Emma spoke Spanish. It was great that the book didn't overemphasize their accents, it just naturally established that she spoke Spanish and he spoke English.
The vineyard setting was so beautiful and relaxing to picture. I also enjoyed the banter between the two main characters. Diego is definitely a walking green flag and a consent king! He was so sweet and gentle with her and grumpy to everyone else.
I loved every part of this story, it’s spicy but also sweet and fluffy. I'm excited to see what happens with the other characters because I don‘t want to leave Barcelona just yet!! ❤️🌹 A.N. Lee thank you for trusting with your beautiful words!
