Fourteen-years of marriage, two-children - and Dan and Lauren were now on the rocks.

Date night, his mother-in-law suggested. Only problem was Dan would have to wing it, as he didn’t have a clue how to date his wife.

He wanted to ignite the spark back into their marriage; however, Lauren wasn’t as keen.

Lauren was devastated and confused by the sudden interest Dan was now showing her. Was he playing away from home? That would certainly account for the weird hours he’d been keeping at work.

Was Dan’s guilty conscience the reason he was now trying to get her into bed at every opportunity? Or was he just toying with her?

A new day was coming. Hopefully, Dan was ready for her. Because by the end of the week, her marriage would either be back on track or over and heading for the divorce courts.

Contains profanity, adult content, and also covers loss.

I decided to listen to this book because it was about a couple who have been happily married for many years but now their relationship is on the rocks. I thought they were just taking each other for granted but it turned out that there was another reason as well. Dan and Lauren were both likable and relatable characters, and it was an interesting storyline. John York did a good job bringing this story to life. I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. I thought it was great. I liked that it was a realistic portrayal of a marriage. it was funny, sad, sexy. It definitely made you go through all the ranges of emotions. This was my first book I've either heard or read by this author, but definitely not my last! - LHM

Great book! Highly recommend it.

You might want to have a tissue ready. This is a very in depth look into what can happen to a marriage when something catastrophic happens. The way the characters interact all thru the story you know something happened but you don’t find out until the almost end what that is. Once the couple work thru the issue they institute a date night to keep things interesting in their lives and it sounds fun. JF Holland covered real issues that can happen to people who have been married for years and the importance of communication being the key to get past it. I really enjoyed the book and would recommend it to everyone. The narrator did a very good job building the frustration level of both characters and the sorrow that follows.

Wonderful story

The story begins with a troubled marriage that's on the verge of breaking and an oblivious husband.
It continues with how the husband (Dan) realizes the truth about his marriage and makes a plan on saving his marriage, to stop his wife- the love of his life- from leaving him with their 3 beautiful children.
The intimate scenes are written very well and feel very real. One can see that J.F. Holland has put in a lot of effort in the minute details.
This book speaks about a sensitive issue and the author has handled the situation very gracefully.

It was very easy to visualize and feel what was happening in the story, and I think that's rare.
You would definitely need a box of tissues during the end.

The only part I did not like about the book was the narration.
It was extremely cringy when John York tried to narrate as a little girl wherever the book demanded.

Other than that, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes a good romance book.

A good romance novel,narration could be LOT better

I was so happy to get this book. I have enjoyed it. I really like how the story lets you know that if you have a problem don't run from it. Talk it out , You dont know if the other person the one you love is feeling the same way you do if you keep ignoring the issues you will lose what you love the most . Dan and Lauren make a great couple and I was so happy to see that they was able to work things out and be a family again . This book has a lot of pain but it shares a lot of love also . if you can read it I would recommend this book it was pretty amazing I wasn't to thrilled with the gentleman reading it but his voice kind of grows on ya. lol

Well written and the characters are well created. The story is good and gets to you. Funny at parts but very sad too.
This is not the day to day love story you know boy meets girl, fall in love beak up solve the problems and live happy ever after.
They are married but the marriage is crumpling. He is making effort to fix it. How it works out and why they are having problems you have to listen. just make sure you have some tissues near by when you get to the sad part.

Sad and sweet

This was a beautifully written story that pulled me in. So relatable to real life tragedies that some couples experience. It’s a story of reconnecting and coming out stronger from the experiences after. A story of love and Family. I loved Dan, and I loved the love he had for Lauren, Rudy and Darcy. It was an emotional read for me.
This story was written by Laurie an Author who had included snippets of her relationship with Dane and there personal connection and chemistry. So well written. I loved John Yates as the narrator, he really brought the story to life for me. I haven’t read Blue Christmas but will have to so I can get the whole story.

I love this story, and it definitely carries you away to a place that does not exist. I wish it were as easy as this story makes it seem to repair a damaged relationship. Overall a good story and shows that couples do need to communicate and work out their issues together.

Excellent Fiction
