UGH HONESTLY ONE OF MY FAVES IF NOT MY FAVE BOOK OF THE YEAR š«¶š½ā¤
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 š„¹š« 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 š³
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 š«¢). Rome was all about giving her what she wanted just because he could!! Loved them both.

First things first, I wanted to knock Janelleās sister Amerieās head between the washer and dryer. Aint no way I would let her talk to me like she talked to Janelle. Are sisters really like this? š I wouldnāt ever talk to my sister again if she acted like Amerie. This book was messy all around. Who dates their siblings ex and then gets married to them? I enjoyed the chaos and loved Rome and Janelleās relationship. One thing that I didnāt like while reading was their bond was more so centered around just sex.
Janelleās mom is TRASH for the way that she acted towards her. Her mom and her sister should just go to hell. Amerie was super jealous of her own sister and her mom was just mad because Janelle never needed her š«¤ Overall it was a good and quick read. Kept my attention the entire time and the storyline was different.. in a good way!

This was spicy š¶ļø but also had interwoven moments of sweetness and vulnerability between Rome & Janelle. I am not a fan of how long Janelle allowed Amerie to treat her the way she did not Arnoldās behavior during his moments too but the ending made up for it.

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.
