FIX HER UP:

My Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A bad boy baseball player and a goofy sweetheart? Yes please! 


I love brothers best friend stories! And Fix Her Up did not disappoint! Heat and Swoons! Love and some tears! This story is heartfelt, romantic, fun and so enjoyable, you won't be able to set it down!

Georgie and Travis are a book couple that you instantly connect with. They are easy to love and root for. Opposites. Travis the hotshot baseball player on and off the field. Georgie, silly, big hearted, the girl who's overlooked. But together these two are magic. They burn up the pages with their intense attraction. And make you smile big with all the swoon-worthy romance. 

Travis and Georgie are one passion filled couple, I loved every minute of them getting to know each other. Of discovering new parts of themselves. And their growth through out the story. Tessa Bailey brings to life such addicting stories and compelling characters that you want to know everything about. This group of friends, and the entertaining relationships their share and going to make for such a fun adventure filled series. And I can't wait to read more! 


LOVE HER OR LOSE HER:

My Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Love Her Or Lose is hands down my favorite book by Tessa Bailey! I devoured Rosie and Dominic's book! This married couples rocky relationship was told in such a beautifully raw and compelling way.   It sucked me in and I couldn't stop reading. Tessa Bailey has a way of bringing fresh stories to life. With characters that demand your attention. Rosie and Dominic are a book couple that I will happily carry with me. 


This book has it all! Laughs, tears, SO much sexiness, a couple that steals your heart and breath. Moments and memoirs that give you chills and butterflies. And beyond swoon-worthy moments. 
I didn't want to close the pages to this wonderful couples story, I wanted to live in their love forever. I was so invested in their journey of reconnecting, their second chance. I was rooting for them, cheering them on and hoping for one beautiful HEA! 

The Hot & Hammered crew are a group that I can't get enough of, their relationships, friendships, bonds, are so great to experience. I laugh, and smile and want more and more, every time! 


Fix Her Up


A brand new romantic comedy from New York Times bestseller Tessa Bailey!


Georgette Castle’s family runs the best home renovation business in town, but she picked balloons instead of blueprints and they haven’t taken her seriously since. Frankly, she’s over it. Georgie loves planning children’s birthday parties and making people laugh, just not at her own expense. She’s determined to fix herself up into a Woman of the World... whatever that means.



Phase one: new framework for her business (a website from this decade, perhaps?)



Phase two: a gut-reno on her wardrobe (fyi, leggings are pants.)


Phase three: updates to her exterior (do people still wax?)

Phase four: put herself on the market (and stop crushing on Travis Ford!)

Living her best life means facing the truth: Georgie hasn’t been on a date since, well, ever. Nobody’s asking the town clown out for a night of hot sex, that’s for sure. Maybe if people think she’s having a steamy love affair, they’ll acknowledge she’s not just the “little sister” who paints faces for a living. And who better to help demolish that image than the resident sports star and tabloid favorite?

Travis Ford was major league baseball’s hottest rookie when an injury ended his career. Now he’s flipping houses to keep busy and trying to forget his glory days. But he can’t even cross the street without someone recapping his greatest hits. Or making a joke about his… bat. And then there's Georgie, his best friend’s sister, who is not a kid anymore. When she proposes a wild scheme—that they pretend to date, to shock her family and help him land a new job—he agrees. What’s the harm? It’s not like it’s real. But the girl Travis used to tease is now a funny, full-of-life woman and there’s nothing fake about how much he wants her... 



Love Her Or Lose Her 

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.

Tools Of Engagement
(Hot & Hammered #3)


In Tessa Bailey’s latest rom-com, two enemies team up to flip a house... and the sparks between them might burn the place down or ignite a passion that neither can ignore!

Hair, makeup, clothing, decor... everything in Bethany Castle's world is organized, planned, and styled to perfection. Which is why the homes she designs for her family's real estate business are the most coveted in town. The only thing not perfect? Her track record with men. She's on a dating hiatus and after helping her friends achieve their dreams, Bethany finally has time to focus on her own: flip a house, from framework to furnishings, all by herself. Except her older brother runs the company and refuses to take her seriously.

When a television producer gets wind of the Castle sibling rivalry, they’re invited on Flip Off, a competition to see who can do the best renovation. Bethany wants bragging rights, but she needs a crew and the only member of her brother's construction team willing to jump ship is Wes Daniels, the new guy in town. His Texas drawl and handsome face got under Bethany's skin on day one, and the last thing she needs is some cocky young cowboy in her way.

As the race to renovate heats up, Wes and Bethany are forced into close quarters, trading barbs and biting banter as they remodel the ugliest house on the block. It's a labor of love, hate, and everything in between, and soon sparks are flying. But Bethany's perfectly structured life is one kiss away from going up in smoke and she knows falling for a guy like Wes would be a flipping disaster.

About The Auhtor:


Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans and laptop, driving cross-country to New York City in under four days. 

Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention. 

She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband of eleven years and six-year-old daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.
