So, when the best man, Rome, proposes they give into their undeniable chemistry, Janelle agrees, under one condition: their affair can only last a week.

Paired with: The mezcalita— smoky, citrusy, and bold.
This book was everything I didn’t know I needed — fun, flirty, messy in the best way, and full of that “I can’t put it down” energy. Natasha Bishop gave us characters that felt real — the kind who make you laugh, roll your eyes, and cheer for love even when it’s complicated.
What I loved most was how she balanced desire and vulnerability. It’s not just a spicy romance; it’s about timing, growth, and allowing yourself to feel something genuine, even when it’s just “for the week.” There’s a certain beauty in how short moments can still change you — and Bishop captured that perfectly.
And let’s talk about the mezcalita pairing — smoky, sweet, and just dangerous enough. It matched the book’s mood flawlessly: bold like the main character’s choices and smooth enough to sip on while flipping pages. Every time the mezcal hit, I thought, yep, this is exactly what this story tastes like.
If you’re in the mood for a quick escape filled with chemistry, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos, Only for the Week deserves a spot on your nightstand (and a mezcalita in your hand).
I was tuned in from the start with this read. This book reminded me of the importance to put yourself first and not give so much attention to what others think of you. I was so happy for Janelle when she started to stand up for herself and live openly happy. This definitely tested relationships, sisterhood, brother hood, parenting hood lol. The way this unfolded, I knew it wouldn't be only for the week.
Finally a feel good BLACK love story that isn’t rooted in unnecessary trauma. It’s like Insecure meets Romeo & Juliet. Hmm… maybe that’s why the author went with those names!! Also, Rome is EVERYTHING!
Yes Yes and Another YES! When I tell you I felt like I was in Tulum while reading and couldn’t put the book down! Hot, Steamy and Juicy all in one!
