It’s not just the end of this chapter of your romance novel, it’s the end of the book… 5) She felt unappreciated by you and it triggered her Everything between them was dark, lustful, confusing, and . . . so far off course, she wasn’t sure their marriage would ever point in the right direction again. I thought the story started off well with the hurt and pain Rosie and Dominic was feeling bubbling out from under the surface, Rosie's more overtly. Bailey typically writes her males very protective and Dominic's streak was definitely evident with what he later calls his selfish need to have her all to himself. I thought having Dominic so clearly loving Rosie and admitting to himself, Rosie, and the readers that he would do anything for her gave the tone a good underlining simmering heat. Rosie's emotions towards Dominic were more dominated by her sexual attraction to him. With every “pointed nipple” and “wet thighs” I lost concentration on the emotional angst and the story's tone slid into more lustful. Bailey is known for her strong sexual scenes and those are definitely here but for this couple, I personally, wanted teeth gritting cognitive emotion. After all, it’s a safety issue. I couldn’t have the narration steaming up my windshield while I was driving. Or even driving right off the road, right!?💁🏻‍♀️

With a professional relationship coach, you can get advice specific to your life and your experiences… Dominic and Rosie were high school sweethearts who married one another. They've always been so in love and had a great relationship, but lately things have changed. I wouldn't say they've lost their spark... their chemistry is still there. But that seems like that's all that's there. They don't talk anymore, they don't spend time together (outside of their Tuesday night bedroom date) and Rosie has had enough. She decides they need some real help if they're going to make it work, so she moves out while they undergo some 'extreme marriage therapy', which is unconventional but a hoot. In just a few minutes, you can connect with a certified relationship coach and get tailor-made advice for your situation.Rosie wanted to be a restaurant owner, cooked like a pro, yet did nothing to at least learn anything about running a restaurant or work in one. How did her working as a perfume girl make any sense?! She was planing on investing TONS of money in something she's NEVER DONE BEFORE and somehow all she needed for it was her husband's encouragement. When she walks away from you for reasons like this, then it’s not the starting point for another try. I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Hoover is one of the freshest voices in new-adult fiction, and her latest resonates with true emotion, unforgettable characters and just the right amount of sexual tension.

This was...I don't even have words. Perfection! Swoony, sexy, and brimming with feels. It was everything I wanted in their story and yet so much more.If you’re benching girls, you’re playing with fire. 7) There’s no one thing you did wrong, but a steady accumulation of things I listened to the audio version of this book, as with book one of the series. Once again the narrators did a fabulous job of capturing the essence of their characters, bringing you on a private journey into their failing marriage!

If she’s told you and indicated to you that she’s reached that point, you need to take it seriously and accept it.Fix Her Up pretty much blew up in the book community earlier this year. I loved the adorable fake dating romance and was excited to read a second chance romance from another couple in the series! If a girl tells you that you’ve emotionally hurt her really badly and brought up issues from the past, then you need to tap the brakes. I do wish we could’ve gotten more story or drama into what happened to Dom when he was at the war since at the beginning they go out of their way to insist how a lot happened there and he never talked to her about it… and that’s when shit hit the fan. But it turned out it really wasn’t anything bigger than him being at war (which I know is a big deal in itself and I guess it gives it some realism for more normal marriages showing that sometimes the love and excitement slowly dies and people need to work for it, but I still wish we’d gotten something more in regards to that. I think it would’ve given them more story, more things to work out and more development and dimension to Dominic as a character.)

In retrospect, you will one day see that the person you became was partly built by the heartbreaks that you thought had destroyed you. I've been eagerly anticipating this release ever since I read and adored the first book in the series last year. And boy, does it deliver! Most romances focus on the initial honeymoon phase, when couples meet and fall in love and everything's perfect. Yet everyone can relate to a long relationship slowly losing its vitality as the years pile on and the drudgery of real life takes its toll. That's why I found this story to be particularly appealing.

Dom is a great guy. He loves Rosie something fierce and always provides for her, but with their sessions they both realize they aren't doing the right things for one another. Some people show love in different ways, and some people need love shown to them in different ways. It was the breakthrough they needed. I think this will be so relatable for some people. If you've been in a long-term relationship/and or are married especially.
