Ask Me If I Care is another hit from one of my go to authors, Lani Lynn Vale! In this edition, we get Hayes, a former military man who now works on the SWAT team, and Ares, a school counselor whose brother is also on the SWAT team. Hayes has that sullen, brooding thing down (you see it in the last book) and Ares spends her whole day talking!
These two are very different, but they certainly have chemistry. Ares' high school boyfriend was Hayes step-brother. Weird? Normally. But Ryan is such a douche and its been over 6 years that it was really kind of a non-issue. This book continues the serial killer hunt that begun in the previous book, Maybe Swearing Will Help. Hayes' dad is the famous psychologist who profiled the killer. We do learn the identity of the killer in Ask Me If I Care and its a very interesting plot!
Hayes and Ares' are a great couple and their romance will give you plenty of swooning! Ask Me If I Care will give you steamy romance, some laughs, and one crazy killer! What more could you want in a binge read?
