Xeni was so much fun! Both the book and Xeni herself, that is. I also wasn’t expecting it to be as smutty as it was (not complaining). Xeni and Mason make for such a sweet, fun loving couple and they had fantastic communication that felt very real and relatable the whole way through.
I loved the writing style, the great cast of supporting characters and all of the love that absolutely oozes out of this book. The reason I didn’t rate it higher was just because I felt my interest slipping towards the end and I wasn’t as hooked as I was in the beginning. I also thought it was just the tiniest bit too rushed.
I would recommend it if you love a big, gentle giant MMC, a marriage of convenience that just feels like two best friends falling in love and a whole lot of fantastic diversity.

I had such a good time reading this. Mason and Xeni were perfect for each other, and Sable knew it. They had an awkward start, but I loved how they took the situation into their own hands and made the best of it. I adored how they took care of each other. Mason was so gentle with Xeni, despite his massive size. They understood each other on a deep level, and they had so much in common.
The intimacy between them was amazing. I think Rebekah Weatherspoon did a great job showing how they each took the time to learn what the other liked. I think with both of the characters being bisexual, it brought a level of comfort, familiarity, and acceptance to their intimacy that truly shined throughout the story.
Mason is such a sweetheart, like he’s perfect. He’s tender, he can cook, he’s funny, and dominant just the way I like it. He put his whole heart into his and Xeni’s unconventional relationship. Xeni needed someone like Mason to help her through her grief and emotions and just love on her. Just the little things made my heart swoon. I love reading about Black women getting loved on!
I liked that the family drama wasn’t dragged out. Xeni was going through it and I saw a lot of myself in her, especially with the way she processed grief and uneasiness. I will break out the jokes whenever I’m uncomfortable, and that’s what Xeni did in order to not to feel the insurmountable pain that was inside her.
Xeni gave me just what I needed. It was hilarious, sexy, and swoony. It made me feel all warm inside. And I love that for me.
SN: All I know is that if I ever come into an absurd amount of money, I would disappear expeditiously.
