Xeni by Rebekah Weatherspoon is the second book in the "Loose Ends" series. Xeni's famous aunt Sable Everly passes away and leaves most of her estate to Xeni. Due to Xeni's mother and her other aunts having a decades-old feud with their sister Sable, Xeni has a limited amount of time to clean out her aunt Sable's house alone. That is until she finds out that to claim her inheritance she has to marry her Aunt Sable's young friend and protégée. Well, now Xeni and her new husband Mason can clean out Sable's estate together. They're being trying to make the best of the situation, maybe that includes falling in love.
This was a really cute romance and I enjoyed the read. Both Xeni and Mason seem very attractive. I think the narrator did an okay job on the audiobook. I didn't have very many issues with this book and even though I liked it, it's not my favorite romance. I would recommend this book to a friend though.
*SPOILERS BELOW THIS POINT*
The issue I had with the book was with the miscommunication trope at the end. The two separated for a while before Finally getting back together and that was a bit frustrating to me, though I understand they both wanted to work on their separate lives and issues for a bit.
*SPOILERS OVER*
I loved the spicy scenes! There's even a pegging scene in here and that was enjoyable. I like that the couple used condoms until they had been together for a while. I'm giving the spicy scenes three point five chilies 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5 out of five chilies
Overall this romance was sickeningly cute. I'm giving this 4 out of 5 stars.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 4/5 Stars

read for the queer romance readathon 2022: indie author
this was serotonin in a book. that is all.
Second in a series, but you absolutely do not need to read the first for this to make sense - though since the first is [b:Rafe: A Buff Male Nanny 41712479 Rafe A Buff Male Nanny (Loose Ends #1) Rebekah Weatherspoon https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1536086084l/41712479.SY75.jpg 65058784], you may want to regardless, considering that title is amazing. This book is a completely different tone from the first Rebekah Weatherspoon book I read ([b:Haven 34745311 Haven (Beards & Bondage, #1) Rebekah Weatherspoon https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1491009828l/34745311.SY75.jpg 55936047]), and this is more along the lines of what I enjoy - much less angst, no murders at all, but still excellent heat and, of course, HEA. I love Xeni and Mason and I loved just how much they like each other, which makes for excellent banter throughout (nothing wrong with a good enemies-to-lovers, but this was just FUN). I basically read this over a weekend, and it's candy-colored and sweet and just delightful escapism all the way around. (Plus, cover love, I mean seriously.)(2020 summer romance bingo: dumped at a wedding. Would work for so many squares - apple orchard, meddling matchmakers, protagonist plays instrument that's not guitar/piano, possibly ice cream or secret identity...)
