Marriage in Distress me please! 😫

Romance besties! 😊

I have accidentally fallen into the 'marriage in distress' rabbit hole. Help!

I just finished reading This is Law by Diamond D Johnson (which is🔥 btw ) and before that I was reading When Forty Blooms by Jacinta Howard.

I want more!

Second chance love is one of my fav tropes anyway so marriage in distress right up my alley..😏

So far I've read:- (that I can remember)

Before I Let Go – Kennedy Ryan

Maybe Next Time – Christina C. Jones

Operation Midnight – Sharon C. Cooper

So if anyone has anymore suggestions please throw them my way.

Thanks! 💗

Not sure if these completely qualifies because I think the FMC is Afro-Latina. But I loved “Love Her or Lose Her” by Tessa Bailey. It’s about a husband who comes back from deployment and struggles with readjustment. Meanwhile his wife is trying to find dreams of her won. Includes a hilarious marriage therapist .

Yes it definitely qualifies.

I've seen it on lists here and there.

I'll give it a try!

Thanks!

Before I Let Go is part of a trilogy, idk if the other books fit tho

Yes, I've seen Kennedy promoting it.

I have book 2, it doesn't fit.

I'm still reading it though, I'm invested now! 😂

I read this post title before I read the title of the subreddit and popped in here to give you some encouragement. Looks like you're good, though (as far as actual marriage issues, at least)!

Lol! This is why I love Reddit! 🥰

Someone always willing to encourage and support!

Yaa no irl marriage issues for now!
