Love Her or Lose Her audiobook

For so long I haven’t read so sweet, meaningful, poignant, emotional, romantic book pushed me make so much” awwww” sounds, fill my eyes with happy, smiley tears, warm my heart, ring into my ears a lyrical, hopeful love song and give me the biggest reason to do my happy dance (as a change I mixed my Travolta-Beyonce moves with Swayze, Despicable me minions-Rosie’s imitation with her mouth fulled with marshmallows inspired me- and walk like Egyptian moves by creating weirdest dance type on the earth!)My final decision giving this book 5 stars (4.5 rounded up) I unhappily cut my half star because at some parts stubbornness, blindness to see her husband’s affection levels of Rosie made me pissed off and earned her small and quick slaps, strong shakes on her shoulders!It was one of my quickest read. As soon as I saw my email and check out my NetGalley shelf, I saw this shiny, beautiful book winks at me and calls my name and I was drawn into it mumbling: “Your ppppreeeciousss!” like Gollum finally found her ring! So I started to read and cut my connection with the outer world, hired private chief to cook for us and waiters to serve my Chardonnay and send the bill to my sister in law who is banging on the door now as I pretend not to hear that by listening death metal at maximum volume! So my isolation and focusing on book problem are automatically solved.I loved this couple and Dominic is everyone’s dream husband. He’s loyal, devoted, sexy, passionate, trustable, hard worker and he’s pushing so hard to make his wife happy. Rosie is also adorable and their undeniable, hot, pant melting chemistry as a couple is amazing. They grew up together. As Dominic left love of his life for serving for his country, their love endured against the war, traumas, long distance, emotional suffering and harsh realities of the world. But slowly they drifted apart, they lost their dreams, they lost themselves and as they were about to lose each other completely, Rosie felt like she fell out of love with her husband. As soon as she left him, Dominic opened his eyes and realized one more time he made wrong decisions about his priorities in his life and after that he was determined to take his wife back even it meant too much groveling or something worst like: ACCEPTING TO SEE A HIPPY MARRIAGE COUNSELOR AND APPLYING HIS UNCONVENTIONAL METHODS TO TEST THEIR MARRIAGE!So they took a journey to their past to realize how they fell in love at the first place, how they meant for each other and they started to know each other from the beginning. Now Dominic is falling in love with his wife over and over again! ( Dominic’s letter to his wife so breathtaking and tearjerking, even a robot could start to cry or tear up his metallic pieces to show his sorrow after reading it!)They danced again. They skated again… They became the high school lovers who fell for each other again…Going back helped them to going forward and planning a proper future for their relationship!I love those kind of dysfunctional marriage stories as the couples begin to question what they did wrong and slowly when they found out their faults, wrongdoings, they got back together stronger by discovering new truths about themselves and their relationship. So as long as I read the blurb, I knew I will love this book so compassionately.I didn’t read Georgie and Travis’ book but Bethany and Wes already took my attention because of their witty dialogues and frenemies to friends story theme. So I think I am not gonna wait for 2020 fall to take a piece from their stories. I should read it ASAP!I already start to add other books of this author on my tbr list. I am specially thankful to her because this year so many good authors so far disappointed me with the romance releases. Even though this book is going to be released on 2020, it still gave me hope next year is going to be so much better and this author put a big smile on my face with her heartwarming story which I fully appreciate it!Thanks to NetGalley and Harper Collins Publishers to send me this entertaining, swoony, amazing ARC COPY in exchange my honest review.

A second chance romance that portrays characters that fall in love once again with their soul mate, alongside finding yourself as a whole without each other... If you have been following my reviews for a while, you all bet your sweet cheeks that you know that my obsession for Tessa Bailey is kind of a concerning matter... Ever since I sat with her in August at a book signing that we both attended, I have been "patiently" waiting for her next release. I wish I could easily get inside her head and read more of her masterpiece writings because there is no denying that this obsession keeps growing and growing every time she writes a new novel! Now, if I am honest. I was not really hyped about this book because of the story plot. An already married couple who have marriage issues? Hmmmm, I had to stop and process whether I really wanted to risk liking it or not. But hey, I should not be surprised because I popped my MM cherry this year as well when reading Heat Stroke, and this beauty has landed its place in my favorites list!Dominic and Rosie have this special place in my heart now because of the second journey that they both go throw and learn more about each other, things that through out the past ten years they both missed about each other. Most of the romance novels that I have read involving married couples, usually basis on the emotional and physical conflict they have together through out the years of their marriage. Though Dominic and Rosie have that semi-emotional conflict happening through out this novel, the physical connection is one that one hundred and fifty percent is not missing! Dominic's possessive alpha male of a character, is one that had me drooling for a papi like him for myself ;)After crying for the whole process of the novel because yet again, this is an emotional novel that totally dragged my dark soul into falling in love with Rosie and Dominic, I learned that Tessa can write basically ANYTHING and I will bow down to the novel, to the story, and to her. Because she is not only a goddess of the romance genre, but she is also genuinely a sweet heart! You will not regret reading this novel, and after coming across the character that Bethany will be ending up with... AND MY GOSH I AM SO READY! It will be based on my favorite romance trope!

4 stars If there was anything in this world worth fighting for, it was his wife. Love Her or Lose Her is the second book in Tessa Bailey's 'Hot and Hammered' series. After reading and loving 'Fix Her Up' I was so excited for this one. It wasn't as fun or endearing, but I actually loved the romance more. Maybe it's the old married person in me, but sometimes I love reading about already established/married couples and this hit the spot for me. 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. 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. Dominic is the type of hero Tessa Bailey loves to write. Alpha, stoic, sexy, and protective. This would have maybe been a 4.5 or 5 star read for me if I felt more connected to him. I feel like the biggest part of his character was his proving himself and providing for Rosie. Rosie had all these dreams and all he wanted was to be there for her and help her succeed. I guess I wanted a little more of what he wanted, and to be in his head a bit more. I think my favorite part of the book was watching Rosie come to terms with the fact that she had some blame in this and trying to do for Dom what he'd always done for her. I loved watching them love each other in the way they both needed. “You love me fiercely and quietly—you always have—and you’ve started loving me out loud these last few weeks." Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was emotional, steamy, and made me laugh more than once. I enjoy Tessa Bailey's writing and characters and I'm loving this series. I have a feeling Bethany and Wes's book is next and I'm so here for it!

Holy "Is it hot in here or is it just me?" Steaminess!I loved this sexy romantic comedy about a young married couple whose rocky relationship needs an intervention. Maybe it's because as a married woman I could relate to so many aspects of their issues. It's so easy to fall into a daily rut and lose sight of not only who you were and are but your spouse as well. Dominic and Rosie are are on the brink of divorce after being married for 10 years. They are unhappy, lack communication and living in a marriage of silence. The only thing still working between them is their sex life and boy was it steamy, hot & heavy!!! But are the sparks in the bedroom enough of a reason to stay together? As the couple drifted apart, they lost sight of their dreams and themselves. Dominic knows he can not live without Rosies and is willing to do anything to bring her home - even seeing an unconventional therapist. I loved their journey to finding each other again and discovering that they both played a part in the unhappy state of their marriage. Bailey did an amazing job of having them wrestle with their feelings of inadequacy and love. This was my favorite book in this series so far. I binged this and was up way past my bedtime - with flushed cheeks! 😉 Thank you to Tessa Bailey, Harper Collins Publishers and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review an arc of this book.

Love Her or Lose Her is the story of Rosie and Dominic. They were high school sweethearts who were madly in love, but somehow in the ten years they've been married, their connection has faded. Now Rosie realizes that if she ever wants to salvage their love for each other, they must fight hard to rediscover what made them fall in love in the first place.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.I adore Tessa Bailey's writing because her couples are always so passionate and fun, and there's so much heart in their love stories. Of course, she delivers her trademark steamy sex scenes, so just be warned, as they can be a bit shocking if you haven't read anything by her before and thought this was an innocent rom-com from the cover.If I had to settle on a minor quib, it would be that the ending felt drawn out. It seems like the couple had resolved everything, but Dominic was holding back one more thing and there was no reason for it. He could've told the truth much earlier. As a result, my attention waned a bit, and I kept being surprised that I hadn't reached the end yet.So far I'm two for two with this series, and I can't wait to read more. It looks like the next book will be out in the fall, and I'm already counting down the days.

5 STARS I’m crying from happiness this is the best sigh!! All the feelings with this one, my new favorite from Tessa Bailey. Tessa takes the reader to an emotional and intense roller coaster!Rosie and Dominic's relationship is not perfect , they have issues . I loved how Rosie and Dominic trying to fix their marriage.They have some super hot,sexy,funny,sweet and emotional moments.Both characters felt realistic and their problems too.I felt so connected with them!Overall,this is one of the best books I read this year!     

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! Right off the bat, Dominic is an interesting character that I know some readers won't like. He's your angry, silent, brooding hero who takes care of his woman. Very caveman-like ideas about relationships. While some may find that problematic, I didn't mind Dominic at all, especially because he learned how to communicate with Rosie throughout this book. It's pretty clear that their issue in their failing marriage is lack of communication, which continues on throughout the entire book. If your pet peeve in books is miscommunication, you'll definitely be annoyed in this book. Especially at the end. If the couple just TALKS TO EACH OTHER, so much of the conflict could have been avoided. That being said, though, their miscommunication was actually believable and I enjoyed how they went to a counselor and talked through their problems. If you guys thought book one was hot, you are in for another treat. Rosie and Dominic have SUCH INTENSE CHEMISTRY and that is definitely an important part of their relationship. They are forced into celibacy by their counselor, which makes their chemistry that much more intense and smoldering.Overall, this was a fun book about a couple trying to learn how to be together again. I also loved how important the side characters are to the story and how the next book is set up SO WELL. I am already dying for the third book and can't wait to read about Bethany and Wes!

MY RATING:4.5/5 STARSI received an ARC from Harper Collins Canada in exchange for a honest review. After finishing Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey, I knew I had to read about Rosie and Dominic's relationship or lack of. For fans of the first novel in the Hot & Hammered series, you'll be familiar with the troubling undertones of their relationship and know that Love Her or Lose her would be an emotional one. Tessa did not disappoint with leaving you emotionally wrecked from reading the story of highschool sweethearts and soulmates suddenly doubting their relationship. Or at least, Rosie feeling at a loss to what the hell happened to the love of her life. Rosie is a strong woman, tired that Dominic has chosen the silent route after he came back from his deployment in the army. She tried her best to understand the troubling issues he must have suffered but she has had enough and decides to leave Dominic one night. He, obviously, loses his cool and breaks down, acknowledging the fact that if he wants her back, he would need to fight for her. Rosie and Dominic embark on the journey of couple counselling. Sure, it's whacky that a literal hippie is guiding them through expressing emotions and dealing with their issues head on but Dominic is determined. I have to admit I was really impressed with this hippie counselor character. His guidance was wise and profound, showing Tessa's ability at creating a character while also giving valuable and smart advice for couples. During their most thought provoking sessions, I broke down myself and cried because the feelings Rosie and Dominic went through felt so real. It was too good.The reason why I took a star off is because I felt Dominic's backstory could have had more umph and meat. I would have loved to learn more why Dominic completely shut down after he came back from the army. I mean, it was explained that he kind of took a look at his life and what he could have provided to Rosie but didn't but I would have loved to see Tessa take a more heartbreaking approach...Maybe some PTSD or war trauma would have been more realistic at least to me. MY RECOMMENDATIONDefinitely read this one guys.
