UGH HONESTLY ONE OF MY FAVES IF NOT MY FAVE BOOK OF THE YEAR 🫶🏽❤
i havent read romance a whole lot this year but this one really did it for me. its been so long since I've read a book and i didn't want to the story to end. i really loved the romance in this story. as someone who is *slowly* getting out of the people pleasing mindset (and a constant overthinker) i relate so much to janelle and not looking after herself when she needs to. she was such a sweetheart fr and i loved the confidence she has. and rome 🥹😫 that's a book boyfriend fr or dare i say book husband.

I honestly wish this was longer and i think stories like this have the potential to be a novel. Some things were told to us rather than shown and i think if the story had more pages, we get to see certain moments in the relationship. other than that i had a good time y'all. the love story really stood out and i think bc of that this book holds a special place in my heart

I can finally say I understand the hype behind this book. I started it and finished it within 24 hours. I just didn't want to put it down. J. Shani Michaels and Winston James did a phenomenal job at bringing the characters to life in the audio! I was straight up blushing while listening 😳

Only for the Week is a vacation, friends (sort of) with benefits, "only for the week" hookup romance. It's short, steamy, and a wild ride. Janelle wants temporary and Rome knows that one week isn't enough. It's delectable. Their chemistry was off the charts. The smut!!!!

My favorite part was Janelle learning to stand up for herself!! It's always nice to read about a character that struggles in her familial relationships (definitely not speaking from personal experience here 🫢). Rome was all about giving her what she wanted just because he could!! Loved them both.

Thanks to @kendrareadswithlove for constantly sharing about this book!!!

This book was so well written! For being such a fast-paced romance the depth and character development was amazing. There are characters you'll love and root for as well as characters you'll just want to punch in the face. Rome was a swoon-worthy book boyfriend. Not only was their relationship so fun to watch, bu they were so good for each other. The way he helped Janelle to stand up for and prioritize herself! And the banter between all the characters was fun.

One of my favorite romances this year oh em gee this book blew me away. It’s hot and funny and the friend relationships are stellar. Janelle is fabulous, a plus size woman who knows her worth and that she’s gorgeous. And Rome - who loves her and wants to care for her. Rome who is the best book boyfriend I’ve ever read goodness. I absolutely loved this book, amerie and Arnold can kick rocks, and the mom too, and I can’t wait for Micah and Dani and evie and Jalen

Such a fun, sexy read! A bit heavy on the instalust and family drama for my tastes, but it was very well handled. I really enjoyed reading Janelle's journey to putting herself first, and I appreciated that she

didn't forgive her mom or sister by the end.

Rome was a great hero who paid attention to all the little things!
