Summer Official by Rebekah Weatherspoon

by Leave a Comment

I have high expectations for a book written by Rebekah Weatherspoon. Summer Official exceeded them and now I know my expectations weren’t high enough. I fell in love with Saylor and Heaven quickly and enjoyed reading about their developing friendship and romance. This is a lovely slow-burn, introvert/extrovert, acquaintances to lovers romance. I want to talk about cake in a minute. The book starts with Saylor finding out her mother, a momfluencer, has posted a video crying with joy that Saylor has come out to […]

I needed to get into the holiday spirit, and A Man for Mrs. Claus by Rebekah Weatherspoon did the trick.

This North Pole Santa-verse finds angels recruiting souls to bring holiday cheer. We meet Tiffany, aka Mrs. Claus, saying goodbye to her current Santa Claus husband. He’s moved on […]

I started this review 6 weeks ago while I was experiencing a bout of seasonal depression that was more serious than I realized. I thought I was going to be able to write a review, because I’ve always been able to get a review of an arc written. While the thoughts and feelings were there, the words wouldn’t move from my brain to the screen in a coherent order. I had received an advance reader copy from the author and have been feeling a lot […]

I love all of Rebekah Weatherspoon’s books and dogs, so already biased to love this contemporary Black romance about a couple meeting at a dog shelter. Andre and Janelle unexpectedly meet when trying to rescue the same dog named Zeus. They both want a dog to bring some joy into their lives. There has been a mix-up and they were both promised the pup. Instead of fighting over him, they decide to co-parent for a month and see how it goes. What a lucky dog […]

They are targeting trans kids and their families, threatening to charge adults who support their non-binary and trans kids with child abuse. But this review isn’t about those goons. This review is about the four people who make up HEAs for Trans Kids and the authors who donated their books to raise money to support trans […]
