I imagine that his possessiveness will ultimately extend to the kids and that iwll make life even worse for them.

But it’s definitely a trope that needs to be handled carefully, and even when handled carefully won’t work for everyone. 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. They both are unhappy with lack of communication and misunderstood desires that has led to a marriage of silence. not without its faults—pacing was stagnant in some parts and quite a bit where dialogue was lacking, but spoken and in the writing.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.

I loved him so much, he definitely gave a ‘raised eyebrows’ first impression but I quickly started to see the methods behind his madness. I was torn between wanting to wrap Dom in my arms to tell him that keeping a stiff upper lip is not healthy, and shaking some sense into him. Yet everyone can relate to a long relationship slowly losing its vitality as the years pile on and the drudgery of real life takes its toll. The entire idea of a failed marriage and then going to therapy to fix it, is realistic and I was very excited to see how they would solve their trust issues and overall problems in their marriage and get back together.Rosie and Dominic did work it out on the dance floor, though, and I was there for every bit of that.

I kept reading because I wanted to see what would happen to Rosie, who really deserved better, but as a romance, no. Rosie and Dominic have SUCH INTENSE CHEMISTRY and that is definitely an important part of their relationship. I found it very unrealistic that their marriage had been so rocky for years, but yet they were still so attracted to each other. And don't get me started with this obsession authors have about literally ripping clothes to have sex. If it's your first book by this author, do yourself a favour, skip it an go read ANYTHING else by her, except for this series.Rosie and Dominic Vega are the perfect couple: high school sweethearts, best friends, madly in love. The couple talks about how they isolated themselves so wrapped up in each other partly because Dominic hated to "share her" to the point that she had to rebuild her entire support system from the ground up, which finally gave her the courage to leave a toxic situation. There was never a moment in my mind where I didn't know with absolute certainty that Rosie and Dominic belonged together and were soul mates.

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. I loved the adorable fake dating romance and was excited to read a second chance romance from another couple in the series! Dominic knows he can not live without Rosies and is willing to do anything to bring her home - even seeing an unconventional therapist.There are other instances, like when Rosie is trying to leave and tells Dominic multiple times, but he still tries to get her to engage in intimate aspects of their relationship. Additionally I hated this author's writing style, moments that I could tell were meant to be comical made me cringe.
