This book was fun and light, but I feel like the author didn’t really give a strong reason why the main couple couldn’t just be together from the beginning. There didn’t seem to be much conflict. Even so, I enjoyed the characters.

I listened to the audiobook, and I felt that the narrator was a mismatch for this book. Any time he tried to say something remotely AAVE, it sounded super off.

Rebekah Weatherspoon what have you done to me????? I did an internet deep dive on fat rep in adult romance/erotica (a topic on which there is a surprising dearth of information 😓), and found mention of this book. And OOOHH I am so glad I picked it up because I am LIVING. This was spicier than I am used to, and even included some stuff that I am way not comfy with, but I still managed to LOVE IT? I will be reading everything from this author that I can get my hands on.

Xeni on her own is funny. Mason on his own is funny. But the two of them together? Absolutely hilarious. They had the most natural chemistry I’ve ever seen between two character. I was also delightfully surprised that both MCs are

bisexual; rarely do you ever seen a bisexual male lead

and that our leading man Mason was plus sized. That kind of rep is really lacking, especially in romance so I was really happy about that. This was a really enjoyable read and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

- Everybody was right, this book is so good! Xeni is a fantastic heroine, giving as good as she gets while also being a truly loving and thoughtful person, and Mason is just the same.
- I thought this modern twist on the marriage of convenience trope was so delightful. The premise is ridiculous and every character in the book knows it and rolls with it.
- Additionally, both leads are bisexual, and they have some good discussions about biphobia. I loved that even though they were a hetero couple they were still openly queer, and have some wonderfully queer and fulfilling sex, too.
