When Xeni's beloved aunt Sable dies, she is the one that has to travel to the small New York town her aunt made her home and look after her burial and estate. Xeni is shocked when it turns out Sable left her practically everything but there's a condition she must marry Sable's friend, burly Scotsman Mason, for a minimum of 30 days to receive the money and Mason will also receive the cash she left him in her wills. Xeni and Mason agree to the marriage but have no idea just how well Sable matched them together. The open communication and honesty between Xeni and Mason was the best part of this book, as well as the deep love and respect that blossomed between the two. In so many romance novels, silly miscommunication becomes a ploy for the silly break up plot point but that's not the case here. Xeni and Mason always knew what page each other was on out of respect for the other, and I loved it, a real breath of fresh air. The story also does an amazing job at representing bisexual characters in M F relationships, as well as paying special attention to the importance of consent and asking for what you want both in and out of the bedroom. This was my first read from Rebekah Weatherspoon, but it won't be my last.
