About this listen

Sam

Nothing in my life is really mine. I take care of my mama, work three jobs, I’m there when anyone needs me. Something about the beautiful, lonely man on my mail route interests me. He’s different in my world, where everything’s the same. I think he hates me, but that doesn’t stop me from hand-delivering every package and trying to find ways to make him smile.

Then Emerson makes me an offer: He’ll pay me to spend the weekends with him, losing ourselves in each other’s bodies, no feelings or pasts involved.

Friday through Sunday become mine, the one thing I do for me. Soon it’s not just the weekends I want, but Emerson. He’s got secrets, though, and won’t let me in.

Emerson

I landed in the small town of Ryland, hoping to disappear. Finding your boyfriend’s body and being accused of his murder will do that to a guy. The deal with Sam is supposed to be strictly physical, but it doesn’t take long for the adorable, sweet man to get under my skin.

I look forward to his corny jokes, get addicted to the feel of his body against mine. He’s got the biggest heart I’ve ever seen, and with each day, each conversation we have, every laugh we share, Sam brings me back to life.

There’s a million reasons I should stay away: I’m broken, 15 years older, too sad, too angry, and can’t let my past get out. But Sam makes me want to fight for my happiness if the reward is him. Because having Sam only for the weekend will never be enough.

Only for the Weekend is a grumpy/sunshine hurt/comfort age-gap romance with two scarred characters who find comfort in each other. There are themes of alcoholism involving a side character.

absolutely wonderful story

I love the way the beautiful, yet simple relationship developed through a very sad and unfortunate background , yet against all odds, love totally conquered.
Beautifully written , the way both Sam and Emerson learned to trust each other, even though the world was against them.
I love the way Riley writes - please never stop

Grumpy/sunshine vibes!

Only for the weekend is book one in the Inevitable series.

This might just be my favourite book from Riley so far. Sometimes I find her books to be hit and miss for me, there's nothing wrong with them but I don't vibe with all of them. This book though hit every mark for me!

Sam is struggling to find himself a world that is all about everyone else's needs. While Emerson is consumed by his past seeking solitude. It's a hurt/comfort story at it best, with the added grumpy/sunshine vibes. Sam is the absolutely embodiment of sunshine, even with the hand life has dealt him he's always looking on the brighter side. Whereas Emerson has lived so void of joy his go to move his grump.

I'm really looking forward to seeing where Jasper and Sutton's story takes us next, only getting small glimpses of them in this book.

The story also tackles some real life issue with addiction and coping with trauma with I feel Riley handled brilliantly. There is also an author note at the beginning to provide an insight of what's to come and warn those reading that may find some topics triggering.
