Love her or lose her : a novel / Tessa Bailey.

Bailey, Tessa, (author.).

Summary:

High school sweethearts Rosie and Dominic Vega are madly in love. Well, they used to be, anyway. Now Rosie's lucky to get a caveman grunt from the ex-soldier every time she walks in the door. Dom is faithful and a great provider, but the man she fell in love with ten years ago is nowhere to be found. Her friends have three words for Rosie: marriage boot camp. To her surprise, Dom is all in, and the relationship rehab forces her to admit her own role in their cracked foundation. But just as they're getting back on track, Rosie discovers Dom has a secret... and it could demolish everything. -- adapted from back cover

    Rosie and Dominic Vega were high school sweethearts who had a happy and fulfilling marriage until Dominic returned from active duty. Though the sex is still mind-blowing, they barely talk and never joke around anymore. With the encouragement of her friends, Rosie pursues her lifelong dream of opening an Argentinian restaurant and decides it's time to demand more from her husband. If Dominic wants to make their relationship work, he has to join her in therapy with the most "woo-woo-sounding marriage counselor on Long Island." The unconventional therapist helps them discover their "love languages" and how they each desire to express and receive affection. Rosie is hopeful, but Dominic fears that revealing a secret he's been keeping could end the relationship. This steamy book is downright raunchy at times, even while the couple abstain from sex per the therapist's rules. VERDICT The story is strongest when delving into communication and vulnerability but occasionally gets bogged down by repetitive writing and a too-predictable plot. Still, fans of Lyssa Kay Adams's The Bromance Book Club or Farrah Rochon's Cherish Me will be glad to discover another contemporary marriage-in-trouble romance.—Jenna Friebel, Oak Park P.L., IL
