Love Her or Lose Her: A Novel: 2 (Hot and Hammered, 2)

Product Information

The whole book was about conquering fears and dreams and learning to support and be supported in that which is something I think everyone has had doubts with! In one scene When Dominic and his friends found out that their WAGs were going to the city on a girls night out, they became so upset and insecure that they tracked them down and followed them, then interrupted them, became all possessive,and then seduced them etc. Frustrated by their lack of communication, Rosie decides to leave Dominic and only agrees to try and repair their relationship if he goes to counseling with her. If you read the first in the series, Fix Her Up, you've been waiting for Rosie and Dominic's story after getting glimpses of their simmering heat and emotions. This book shows the couple really working to fix their relationship and falling in love all over again, one step at a time.

Stephen and his freak of a wife who thought she needed drama in her marriage to be exciting for her husband. But then I tried and earlier book of hers (the name escapes me right now) and just couldn’t get into it at all.

I appreciate how there is no girl hate in this book and how these women are in each other's lives to life one another up and support each other. In that book, I felt like the characters showed a lot of development emotionally, so it was natural how they progressed back into a relationship that was different than before, but still loving. 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.

The author has this couple bring to light and work out their issues through therapy and puts most of their issues on differing love languages. At the end Rosie even refered to it like "the therapy we did to start trusting each other again", buahaha! Like I would have loved maybe a couple of flashback scenes or something to give more background/context for how Rosie and Dom got to where they were at the start of the book, just a ‘lil bit more explaining would have gone a mile for me. Neither person is perfect and I loved being able to watch them work through their issues both individually and together as a couple.

Dominic and Rosie are a married couple who obviously love each other but lost the ability to communicate and show each other how they love each other. there are so many aspects to a marriage, i guess i just wanted more diversity rather than the overwhelming focus on the physical attraction. When Rosie decides to look for more out of life and pursue her dream of opening a restaurant, she decides to demand more out of love, too. 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.

I also loved that we got the added element of a couple going to therapy and what benefit that had on their relationship, even though it was just the start. As they complete one ridiculous-yet surprisingly helpful-assignment after another, their remodeled relationship gets stronger than ever. Frustrated by Dominic’s failure to communicate anything to her other than lust (every Tuesday night), Rosie moves out, but Dominic will do anything to win her back, even attend marriage counseling with a hippie therapist. Love has to be practiced, the way religion or yoga or medicine is practiced— regularly and with intention. e., the people who are supposed to claim you as their own), and because the hero’s whole life is about public service and there’s nothing that gets to be just his.And don't get me started with this obsession authors have about literally ripping clothes to have sex.
