Good use of the marriage of convenience trope. I liked the main characters and their dynamic. Always a fan of a burly/non traditional book MMC and nice bi representation as a part of the story. The plot was far fetched and the pacing could have done with some work but it was an enjoyable and different read! Felt like there was a lot going on in the story but the romance cut through it.

💬: ““It’s a sex chair,” Xeni blurted out. “A sex chair for a sex witch,” Mason joked. “Pretty much.” He walked over and examined it more closely. “May I?” he asked.

Xeni by Rebekah Weatherspoon is the second book in the "Loose Ends" series. Xeni's famous aunt Sable Everly passes away and leaves most of her estate to Xeni. Due to Xeni's mother and her other aunts having a decades-old feud with their sister Sable, Xeni has a limited amount of time to clean out her aunt Sable's house alone. That is until she finds out that to claim her inheritance she has to marry her Aunt Sable's young friend and protégée. Well, now Xeni and her new husband Mason can clean out Sable's estate together. They're being trying to make the best of the situation, maybe that includes falling in love.

This was a really cute romance and I enjoyed the read. Both Xeni and Mason seem very attractive. I think the narrator did an okay job on the audiobook. I didn't have very many issues with this book and even though I liked it, it's not my favorite romance. I would recommend this book to a friend though. 

The issue I had with the book was with the

miscommunication

trope at the end.

The two separated for a while before Finally getting back together and that was a bit frustrating to me, though I understand they both wanted to work on their separate lives and issues for a bit.

I loved the spicy scenes! There's even a

pegging

scene in here and that was enjoyable. I like that the couple used condoms until they had been together for a while. I'm giving the spicy scenes three point five chilies 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5 out of five chilies

Overall this romance was sickeningly cute. I'm giving this 4 out of 5 stars.

I read Rafe a while back and I enjoyed it so when I saw this spin-off I immediately started reading it. It just took me some time to finish (I forgot I was reading it, was in slump), but this was actually rlly cute. I am now a Rebekah Weatherspoon fan. 

The main characters are so sweet and they're so genuine to each other, it rlly made me happy. 

If ur skimming reviews to check whether or not to read this book, I am here to tell you that yes, u should read it rn. 

This was a good time! We follow Xeni as she travels to her aunt’s funeral only to find that her aunt’s dying wish will upend her life. Mason was a good friend of Xeni’s aunt and gets roped into the shenanigans. I had a really nice time reading their story and watching them fall for each other in this unconventional manner.
