Janelle is the maid of honor at her sister, Amerie’s destination wedding to Janelle’s ex boyfriend. Janelle is genuinely happy for them, but no one will believe she doesn’t feel scorned, and her sister is acting like a bridezilla. This is not the stress free two weeks Janelle was hoping for. In comes Rome, the best man and he has a plan to get rid of all of Janelle’s stress.

Okay, so I have a new favorite book boyfriend. I’m obsessed with Rome, the way he takes care of Janelle is so hot. This whole book was so sexy and sensual, I mean even the model on the cover is gorgeous. This was the first book I’ve read by Natasha Bishop, but it will not be the last!!

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.
