Blurb:
New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey returns with a unique, sexy romantic comedy 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 hippy. 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.

Review:
Rocky relationship troubles between married couples are very addictive to me. I love watching the husband fight for what he so casually threw away or took for granted. Rosie and Dominic. Wow. What other words could I even say or come up with?

Honestly, I absolutely loathed the first book. So much so, that I almost didn’t want to read this one. But I’m glad I took the chance because I loved it. More than that? I adored it! Rosie is just the kind of female lead I can be behind—she’s strong yet isn’t afraid to let her vulnerability show. The book was emotional and deep, and absolutely beautiful!

Dominic is your next book husband, ladies. Yes, he could be a bit rough around the edges at times. One thing I was absolutely positive about though was the love he had for Rosie. Hell, they’d been with each other since they were kids in high school. The love and respect they have for one another couldn’t just have gone poof. Right?

This is a story about following your dreams and never settling for anything less than what you deserve. Rosie fought and there was Dominic, fighting just as hard for their love. This is one for the books, maybe one of my favorites so far this year.
