Book Review

Love Her or Lose Her

by Tessa Bailey

⭐⭐.5 /5

… I’ll start this by saying that I liked this more that the first book in the series, Fix Her Up (I REALLY don’t like the idea of a makeover making a girl date-able)…

Rosie and Dominic Vega are at a crisis point in their marriage. Rosie is tired of living like roommates who have a scheduled bang night once a week… I don’t blame her but a girl has to raise her voice and start asking for what she needs in her relationship/ life. Nobody is a mind-reader!?!

Then you have Dom… he believes that if he just keeps his head down works himself to the bone everyday (but shows up for bang night) the life will go smoothly. He has returned from war a few years ago and after hanging out with all of his affluent army buddies, he doesn’t feel he measures up or can provide the quality of life Rosie deserves… solution stop talking to her and just work more.

Ugh. Both of these characters had had major flaws. Dom was an idiot, Rosie was blind.

Other than that, some other problems I (my personal opinion) had with the book was the way they glossed over Dom’s army time. The only after effect was that he was coveting the other soldiers affluent lifestyles?!?! I find that ridiculous. If he was suffering from PTSD, I would find his odd behaviour acceptable and tragic. Since he was jealous of what others were planning to do after their tours, I found it pitiful.

Beyond the plot and characters, I just don’t think Tessa Bailey writes sex scenes that are to my taste. This is just my opinion. Not my preference for the hero to be constantly “honey girl”ing the heroine… it made me want to gag.

This book, along with the previous book in the Hot & Hammered series are much loved… just not by me. On a side note, I do plan on reading the last book in the series to see how the last Castle sibling finds where HEA in the enemies to lovers plot they set up in this book.

Love Her or Lose Her by Tessa Bailey was released January 2020.

Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms! This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me! ...
