### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great third book
  

*by J***4 on Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2024*

It was a great read - not my favorite in the series, but a good story nevertheless. There were just enough details to picture the flips, but they didn’t get overwhelming. The personality part was a little weaker than the first two, which is why it isn’t my favorite. The grammar needs more proofreading too

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Cute story, especially if you read the first book in the series

Book #1 was my favorite in this series, but this was an enjoyable book.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Kinda Disappointed
  

*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2021*

I have loved this series so much! Which may have set my expectation level too high with this book.I never truly connected with Wes or Bethany and I think it's because there's a LOT of telling and not enough showing. I intellectually got their feelings, their fears, their hangups, but I never FELT them.Bethany and Wes each have their own reasons for not being long-term relationship material, and they each have to grow and work at accepting the other into their lives. But it happens so quickly and abruptly, especially for Wes, that it wasn't believable.The base plot was fantastic, if a bit dramatic at times. Bethany steps away from the family business to strike out on her own, and they end up filming a reality show. She and her brother, Stephen, are In a Flip Off, where they each have two weeks to transform a house into a hot piece of real estate. Wes "Zelwiggers" and leaves his job with Stephen to help Bethany with her flip.The opening of the book was great, and scenes with Wes's niece are so sweet. But there's so much internal focus, that I just didn't get how their relationship built. Their bickering was great! It just didn't transition well for me. I LOVE a Hate to Love trope more than any other, but this one just didn't live up to how passionate and real feeling the last book was. Love Her or Lose Her was just sooooooo good, and the pacing was so perfect, that it's difficult to follow that up.I still LOVE Tessa Bailey, and will continue reading her beautiful books, I just felt this one had so much untapped potential.
