Love Her or Lose Her

This book should've been called "Red Flag" This book is about a married couple trying to salvage their relationship, and I was excited because I loooove the "marriage on the rocks" trope. However. Rosie and Dominic should've gotten a divorce. There's absolutely nothing to their relationships except sex. And I enjoy myself a heavy smut book every now and then, but they literally can't even make eye contact without getting mega horny. Imagine having a partner you have been married to for a decade and you can't even have a single conversation. Also, Dominic is super overbearing and possessive. His wife isn't allowed to have a social life because he doesn't want to "share" her. She belongs at home with him because she's his wife. (I'm sorry, is this the 1900s calling?) They basically know nothing about each other because they don't talk. Dominic is an army veteran who came back from Afghanistan and probably suffers from PTSD but they never actually address it. He should go into therapy before attempting to fix his relationship. The therapist they go to for their couples therapy is just... weird? He does drugs during sessions and makes them do weird shit. Like forcing them to go on a camping trip only to show up himself with two women to have a threesome. Like what? Tessa Bailey always writes books that are very centered around sex but I really need ANY sign of actual connection to root for this couple. There's nothing. Absolutely nothing. She could hump a body pillow every night to get her orgasm and it would have the same emotional connection as her husband. The only thing I liked about this book is that Rosie is a chef who wants to start her own restaurant and I like the descriptions of delicious food. That's it.

yikes....
