Xeni: A Marriage of Inconvenience

She just wanted to claim her inheritance. What she got was a husband... Xeni Everly-Wilkins has ten days to clean out her recently departed aunt's massive colonial in Upstate New York. With the feud between her mom and her sisters still raging even in death, she knows this will be no easy task, but when the will is read Xeni quickly discovers the decades old drama between the former R&B singers is just the tip of the iceberg. The Secrets, lies, and a crap ton of cash spilled on her lawyer's conference room table all come with terms and conditions. Xeni must marry before she can claim the estate that will set her up for life and her aunt has just the groom in mind. The ruggedly handsome and deliciously thicc Scotsman who showed up at her aunt's memorial, bagpipes at the ready. When his dear friend and mentor Sable Everly passed away, Mason McInroy knew she would leave a sizable hole in his heart. He never imagined she'd leave him more than enough money to settle the debt that's keeping him from returning home to Scotland. He also never imagined that Sable would use her dying breaths to play match-maker, trapping Mason and her beautiful niece in a marriage scheme that comes with more complications than either of them need. With no choice but to say I do, the unlikely pair try to make the best of a messy situation. They had no plans to actually fall in love.

giggling, blushing, kicking my feet. Rebekah Weatherspoon writes THE best romances. The perfect balance of emotional themes, silly goofy banter, and hot as f*ck romance. Xeni is a romance for the ages. Xeni and Mason's connection is palpable. Everything about it feels so right. Left me with big "me and WHO??" feelings lol

this was another audiobook that just proves that the right narrator is key. i probably would’ve rated this four stars but he made their dialogue feel so stitled. and something about the way he voiced xeni felt… robotic? overall though, it was a cute romance and i loved the way they were so open and willing to work with each other.

I really liked both Xeni and Mason and the steam was off the charts, but their actual relationship felt a bit underdeveloped and parts of this book moved a bit slow for me/dragged on. In general, I love how sex positive Weatherspoon’s books are and how so many of the MCs and characters are fat, BIPOC, and queer. I can’t wait to keep going through her backlist.

3.5 stars. How refreshing to read a romance hero that is not a musclebound god with abs of steel! (I prefer nice smooth pecs anyway!) Am really curious now to read about some of the other 'girls' (Xeni's friends) and also about Silas and Liz.
