Xeni is an absolute gem of a book with an enchanting cast of characters. The author’s talent for creating self-assured characters comfortable in their skin is the best thing ever. I especially love that her characters havent really figured it all out.
Usually, I’d only be interested in the marriage-for-convenience trope if it was in a historical romance. But this contemporary romance executed it so well that I was blown away.
If you’re looking for steamy scenes that are off the charts, you won’t be disappointed. The chemistry between the characters is so intense, you’ll find yourself squirming with pleasure!

Their openness and willingness to communicate are what make their relationship so desirable. If you loved Rafe, you definitely need to add Xeni to your reading list.
Despite my overall positive impression of the book, I do have a few criticisms to share.
Firstly, I found the description of the female protagonist (Xeni) lacking, with only vague references to her physical appearance provided. While other characters consistently praise her beauty, we are not given a clear and explicit picture of what she looks like.
Also, some of the conflicts in the book felt forced and poorly developed, and this made it difficult for me to relate to the characters’ struggles. The subplot about Xeni’s relationship with her birth mother, for example, could have been much better explored if the book had spent less time on Xeni and Mason’s intimate moments.
Overall, while I enjoyed the book, I felt that it could have benefited from more attention to character and plot development.
I absolutely loved this book, and even the small bumps in the road won’t deter me from highly recommending it to everyone!
The audiobook on Scribd was a total joy to listen to, and the narrator’s Scottish brogue was spot-on. I’m eagerly anticipating more books in the series (fingers crossed for Megan’s story!), and I know I’ll be replaying the hot and steamy scenes over and over in my head.
Plus, I heard through the grapevine that the author plans to commission fanart for all her works, and I couldn’t be more excited! I mean, have you seen Rafe? That man deserves to be immortalized in art.
