HTML: The #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Happened One Summer and Hook, Line, and Sinker returns with a unique, sexy rom-com about a young married couple whose rocky relationship needs a serious renovation... Rosie and Dominic Vega are the perfect couple: high school sweethearts, best friends, 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. When her girlfriends encourage Rosie to demand more out of life and pursue her dream of opening a restaurant, she decides to demand more out of love, too. Three words: marriage boot camp. Never in a million years did Rosie believe her stoic, too-manly-to-emote husband would actually agree to relationship rehab with a weed-smoking hippie. Dom talking about feelings? Sitting on pillows? Communing with nature? Learning love languages? Nope. But to her surprise, he's all in, and it forces her to admit her own role in their cracked foundation. As they complete one ridiculous�??yet surprisingly helpful�??assignment after another, their remodeled relationship gets stronger than ever. Except just as they're getting back on track, Rosie discovers Dom has a secret... and it could demolish everything.

More like 3.5/5

At one point it felt like I was reading fan fiction! Which I don’t hate. But it felt like a book for people who are married (probably middle aged) but also love fanfic. I mean anybody can read it but I feel like that’s who it was written for.

Fun book all round (

What a mistake to read this. If skimming a book and a variety of pink, orange, and red flags sounds appealing, then this is the book for you. I want my time refunded. (

Tessa Bailey knows how to write novels that are meaningful, relatable, emotional, and sexy. I think entertainment weekly said it best when they stated Tessa Bailey was the "Michelangelo of dirty talk."

The story of Rosie and Dominic is passionate and emotional for both characters. The steamy scenes between the two are hot, hot, hot!

A faithful wife and a faithful husband who had returned from overseas

Sexual passion (they had it) wasn't enough...

This one impacted me DIFFERENTLY.
Amazing and rare passion between the MCs given their circumstances.
STRONG SISTERHOOD...
MARRIAGE COUNSELING....
LONELINESS...
SECRETS....

I will re-read/listen again.
Love languages were mentioned (
