I absolutely devoured this book. I tried the first book in the series so that I wouldn't be behind, but I didn't get very far into it. For some reason I didn't connect with it, but LOVE HER OR LOSE HER was right up my alley. I loved how Rosie and Dominic both ended up taking responsibility for their part in letting their relationship slide. It wasn't all about what one of them needed to fix, but rather what they needed to work on together. This book also really highlighted how people grow and change and sometimes forget to grow and change within the relationship. It was both steamy and sweet, raw and romantic. The characters and their plight gripped my heart and wrung it dry then filled it back up with the way Rosie and Dom worked to woo each other once again.

Another steamy book by Tessa Bailey! This one is about Rosie and Dominic. (Rosie is in the ladies’ group with Georgie, who was in the last book – Fix her up, with Georgie and Travis.) Dominic will do anything for his wife, but he doesn’t talk/ communicate well. It causes lots of misunderstandings and they decide to go to an “interesting” therapist before splitting for good. Can’t wait to read the next one in this series!

I liked Tessa Bailey's Fix Her Up, but I LOVED the sequel Love Her or Lose Her. Even though Rosie and Dominic should be living their HEA, their marriage is struggling. Somehow, they've stopped communicating and Rosie's had enough. Dominic's committed to do whatever it takes to fix their relationship and make Rosie's dreams come true. Their story is moving and will resonate with couples trying to keep the spark alive.

This was a second chance romance about a married couple facing misunderstandings due to a breakdown in communication. The story line was believable & I felt for both of the characters from the get go! Dominic & Rosie had fierce chemistry which made for some steamy scenes! Some of my favorite parts were when they were trying to connect outside of the steam, in an attempt to get back to where they had once been! Love Tessa Bailey’s Alpha males, and strong heroines!

Rosie and Dominic's book is real and special, and really special. They aren't perfect, either together or apart, but this story about how they find their way back to the love they always had for each other IS perfect. It's also not predictable, and that makes it all the much better! I can't recommend it enough!

I was nervous to read the follow up to Fix Her Up because I really liked it but OMG Love Her or Lose Her blew that right out of the water for me!! This book was such a fun and STEAMY read, whoa. The was their sexual chemistry is written is so fantastic, you can feel it. I can't wait to read the next book in this series! Will definitely be buying myself a copy of this book when it comes out!

This was a quick and enjoyable read. Like a lot of couples, Dominic and Rosie have become complacent in their marriage and for too long have been running on auto-pilot. Rosie is fed up and decides to do something about it which makes Dominic wake up, take a good look at what has happened and recommit to their marriage. There is a good message here that reminds all of us to not take our spouses for granted. This is the story about how Dominic and Rosie find their way back to each other and make their marriage better than it has ever been. Pick it up! You won't be disapointed.

This is Rosie and Dominic book, they are high school sweethearts, best friends, and the chemistry between them is off the charts!! But they’re definitely going through a rough time lately! Dominic is a great provider but the man Rosie fell in love with is nowhere to be found! When her friends talk her into taking what she wants for a change, she decides to demand more out of her marriage! She goes with: marriage boot camp! She knows her husband will never go! But Dom surprises her and agrees to meet with the weed smoking hippie! I was really surprised how much I liked this book! I kept putting it off because I really don’t like reading about already together couples I usually enjoy that first meet-cute feeling but Tessa really put a great story together here! I highly recommend reading this one! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!!

Such a heartbreaking story with some bits of happiness. It was kinda hard to read because of the tone of the book. Just the sadness in the words make you feel it all.

I really liked this book!
I felt like I knew what decisions the characters would make, and how they would react to other people's choices! I felt like it picked up where the other book left off. I liked how it showed how relationships change. The book could have also been a stand alone, but I liked reading it after Travis and Georgies book. I loved the continuation of Travis and Georgie’s story in this novel!! I loved their book and the only thing I didn’t like was that there was no epilogue, and they kind of got an epilogue in this book! I love when authors continue the story of other characters in the background but they don’t mess up the previous characters happily ever after they just give you a glimpse into the future! Overall, this book showed a real relationship, and how your own baggage can impact your view of the relationship! Go Dominic and Rosie!

Love Her or Lose Her is the second book in Tessa Bailey’s new Hot and Hammered series, preceding Georgie and Travis’ hilarious love fest.
We are reintroduced to the uncommunicative, married-since-high-school, never-been-on-a-date-with-anyone-else duo Rosie and Dominic who are at the end of their 10 years married rope. Writing a romance story about a troubled marriage is never easy, especially considering that reading about couples falling in love for the first time is mostly a magical experience. It’s not only new and exciting for the couple, but the reader as well.
In Love Her or Lose Her Rosie has finally had enough of her silent partner’s mute existence and tells him she wants out. Dominic is devastated by Rosie’s confession, he thought their life was filled with contentment as he provided for her and she never complained. To Rosie’s surprise, Dom puts up a fight for her and she responds with couples therapy. Rosie and Dominic’s story then proceeds their counseling sessions and rebuilding of their relationship.
I liked that Rosie and Dominic found their voices with each other again and showed that your love story doesn’t have to end after saying I do. I find myself leaning from sappy, over the top finales in romance, therefore I rushed through the end because of the overt sentiment.
I did enjoy seeing the affianced Georgie and Travis with their ups and downs; Bailey also sets up Bethany’s love foil in Love Her or Lose Her in cowboy Wes to whet your appetite for more in this series.

This review is kind of a hard one to write. While I immensely enjoyed the writing and characters, I couldn't get the feel on the why the characters felt how they felt. The heroine needed words from her silent husband although he provided the security and protectiveness that was instilled in him from a young age, it wasn't enough for the heroine. The hero didn't need much from his vivid wife because her loving him was enough or so he thought. Through the help of a quirky therapist they're able to see what's been missing and also with the help of their friends and ultimately each other their love shines brighter. All in all, communication and deeds is key that keeps them together. I loved how they love each other.

We get Georgie and Travis(my favorites from Fix Her Up) and we get a glimpse of a new character Wes who will give Bethany a showdown.

As for my rating while I loved some aspects of the book, the rest I didn't get and that's totally on me. I'll still recommend the book because I did enjoy it but not enough to love it.

Dom just always wants to be strong for his woman, "surprise prickled up his spine. “I want to be strong for you at all times,” he said hoarsely. “Isn’t that my job?” Dom is just so sweet, "you’re going to rule this world, just like you rule mine.” I liked this book, I liked Dom.

I love this series! Fix Her Up was so good and I couldn't wait to get my hands on Rosie's story. I'll be anxiously waiting for Bethany's story next.

This is the second Tessa Bailey romance novel I've read, the first being "Fix Her Up," the first novel in this series. I enjoyed that one well enough, although I did have issues with the male lead being quite controlling. Unfortunately, that continued into this second book, too. I was intrigued by Rosie and Dominic in "Fix Her Up," so I was looking forward to their own story. I do appreciate that Bailey featured a Latinx couple and made frequent mentions of their culture throughout (plus, the cover!!). It was clear from the synopsis that this was going to be a "marrieds overcoming issues" trope, which isn't my favorite usually because so often the issue is that the husband is way too controlling. Dominic is that husband. Everything he did was because "he knew what was best for Rosie," and using intense sexual chemistry as an excuse for such behavior does not work for me. I liked Rosie as a character a lot, particularly her independent nature, and I wish we had been able to see her take more control in the story.

I did think the marriage therapy sessions and emphasis on learning how to communicate with one another were well done. But it would've been nice to read an interaction between the two of them that didn't always include how they wanted to jump each other's bones. I don't mind dirty talk at all, but sometimes it's just too much!! It would've been nice to see some more banter and communication between the two of them that didn't always involve sex. I also realized another issue I have with Bailey's books is that the secondary characters are quite...silly. The humor doesn't land for me and the "humorous" antics the characters go through just feel over the top and cliche.

Overall, I thought this was an okay romance novel and addition to the series. Would recommend for those interested in reading a more explicit, alpha-male type romance read with some slow-burn.

I enjoy Tessa Bailey and I liked this book. The sex was scorching and I enjoyed the married couple angle. It was a little cliche in parts but overall enjoyable. Thank you to netgalley for the ARC.

YES! When I saw this in my email, I may have screamed a bit! I have been waiting for Love Her or Lose her since we got glimpses of Rosie and Dominic in Fix her Up. Married couples are one of my favorite tropes, and Tessa knocked this out of the park. Tessa is one of my all time favorite authors, so it's no surprise that I loved this book. Dominic was a broken hero, but his love for Rosie was perfection. These two together brought some very hot moments. Tessa always delivers on sexy times in her books, and she definitely brought it for these two. Wow, they were hot and the chemistry was off the charts. I loved this book, and definitely a favorite of mine by Tessa.

Wonderful romance, sprinkled with a little bit of humor and a lot of good old-fashion marital advice on learning how to communicate with each other. The languages of love never fails. Kudos to Dominic for stepping way outside his comfort zone to win back Rosie. Kudos to Rosie for working toward understanding her husband better. Finally, having personally known a couple in which the husband did the exact same thing as Dominic... well... let's just say the Vegas' marriage had a far happier outcome.

Highly recommended read.

Thank you to NetGalley, HarperCollins Publishers, and Tess Bailey for an ARC of 'Love Her or Lose Her' in exchange for an honest and voluntary review.

I was waiting and waiting for this!! Please tell me that you started with the first book, you have too and you will love it. This book was Dominic and Rosie, I have to say I loved Dominic more than Rosie in this one. Dominic and Rosie have been together forevah but have stopped talking to each other, they barely knew each other anymore they only had good sex (yeah I know there is no only) so Rosie decides she has had enough. In a last ditch approach they go to a marriage counselor and they start re-discovering themselves and that I liked because Rosie was blaming everything on Dom until she realized she was also to blame. I loved the previous characters, Trevor and Georgie were so cute, I can't wait for Bethany's and Wes's story I am imagining that that is going to be off the charts, I have to say that in the book it was the guys who were the funniest and I was excited when they would get together they were literally the best times in the book. I didn't like Stephen in the last book but he totally won me over with this one his wife Kristin, yeah I still don't like her, I find her selfish and feel she treats Stephen like crap, even her reasoning didn't convince me...Enjoy!

Maybe I've been reading too many 'meet-cutes' lately, but I was absolutely refreshed by this story. Rosie and Dominic Vega are soulmates, high school sweethearts, #relationshipgoals... until they're not anymore. Ten years in love and these two are in need of a relationship rehabilitation. This is their story.
