Blurb: One deep breath. Two slow blinks. Three hollow beats. I’m still here.

After three years, that reminder isn’t as necessary. But everyone has their bad days. This is definitely one of them.

Until an adorable little boy dashes into my store. His zest for life makes me smile in a way that’s been long lost.

Then I meet his father. Well, confront is more like it.

Brance Stone is volatile. Offensive. Harsh. And can’t be bothered to care.

Not that I want him to. I get frostbite just looking into Brance’s glacial stare. But there’s something undeniable about him.

My misery suddenly craves company. The suffocating numbness lifts whenever Brance is near. That alone should have me running in the opposite direction. Try as I might, there’s no avoiding him. If only I could understand why. As if he’d let me.

I don’t ask. He doesn’t tell. A silent, bitter truce settles between us. That was our first mistake. It’s certainly not the last.

               

Excerpt:

Ollie glances between us. “You remember my dad? He was here with me once.”

While his attention is diverted, she glares at me. “Oh, yes. I sure do.”

“He took me all sorts of places this week. That’s why we were so busy,” Ollie explains.

Her mossy eyes search mine, a storm brewing in those green pools. “Is that so?”

“Uh-huh. Daddy took me swimming and out for ice cream. We even went to the movies.”

“Lucky duck. I haven’t been to the theater in ages.”

He makes a squeaking sound. “What? No way. Wanna come with us next time?”

Braelyn’s slender throat bobs. I’m fascinated by the movement. I get a rise thinking about the conflicting emotions raging inside of her. How will she answer? There’s no way in hell she’d agree. The air grows dense, enough to choke on, as her silence stretches.

Finally, she opens her mouth. “I’ll have to check my calendar, buddy. It’s hard to get away from the store.”

He bounces on his toes. “Okay, great. Talk to my dad about it. Can I go play now?”

Braelyn beams at him. “Of course, kiddo. You know where the toys are.”

That’s all he needs to hear before darting down the designated aisle. I watch him disappear in a flash of red and denim. When I look at Braelyn, the thundering in my pulse roars. She’d been all smiles for him, but now all evidence of happiness melts away. When she turns to me, a scowl mars her features. My gut twists painfully, and that stops me short. Am I seriously jealous of my son? That’d be a hell no. I roll my shoulders and strengthen my resolve.

“Fancy seeing you here.” Braelyn crosses her arms, shoving a pair of luscious tits up for my viewing pleasure. I almost applaud the shirt’s low neckline, but thank the summer heat instead. No point giving her ass any credit for wearing less clothing.

I try to keep my focus on her face. “Is it?”

         

This is a new author to me and what an introduction. This book was an emotional roller coaster of a read. 

Brance, a single dad and Braelyn have both been badly hurt and because of this neither of them are really living, thanks to their fears that history will be repeated.

Total opposites and yet there is something sizzling between them. What an adorable little boy Ollie is, my heart broke for the 5 year old who wanted a mother to love him. 

Can Brance and Braelyn get over the devastation of their pasts and in doing so find a happiness that they both so desperately deserve?

This was a heart warming story that will touch you deeply.

Harloe Rae is a new author to me me and after reading Ask Me Why I have to question why this very talented author has not crossed my radar before now and make no mistake this will not be the last book I read by her because  I plan on searching out her previous books. 

Ask Me Why will certainly tug on your heartstrings, Braelyn is sassy and sweet but she struggles with PTSD on a daily basis and life is not easy after losing her boyfriend in a tragic accident. Her world revolves around her shop and that’s where she meets an adorable little boy named Oliver. Brance is a single father and spends his time trying to make sure his son Oliver is happy but what happens when Oliver decides he needs a mum and that Braelyn is the woman he wants..........
I loved everything about this story, I loved Braelyn and Brance and I adored Oliver, this book has the perfect mix of love, angst and banter and I was captivated by the little boy who just wanted a mum....
This is a heart warming story that I highly recommend for all romance lovers.

When the hard hearted man finally falls in love, WOW! Brance is just that guy! He is also the character you won’t like at all in the beginning of this book. Other than the love he has for his son, Ollie, he is abrupt, condescending and doesn’t trust women at all. 

I loved this story and the characters! Ollie is so adorable, Braelyn is sadly broken but working on moving forward and Brance is an ass, but with his son playing matchmaker, slowly his walls come down. Brance just doesn’t know it’s happening until he screwed up and she left. He finally realizes that he actually misses Braelyn. She brought smiles and laughter into his life and simply made him happy. Ollie opened her heart and Brance, he brought her broken heart back to life and showed her how to live again.
