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.

An Amazon top 10 best seller.

Critic reviews

"Ask Me Why is a gorgeously-written, angsty book that packs a great punch to your gut. If you like a jerk with a heart of gold, this is the book for you. Oh, and I dare you not to fall in love with little Ollie!" (LJ Shen, USA Today best-selling author)

When life experiences leave you damaged and reeling, you can be filled with fear, unable to trust in people and yourself. 
Brance and Braelyn had their share of painful life lessons and finding their way back was not easy for them.
Braelyn had her best friend supporting her all the way, along with regular therapy sessions. 

Brance seem to have had a terrible example of a mother  and little support. I am not excusing his behaviour but I understand why he is so obnoxious to Braelyn. Thank goodness for his sweetheart of a son, he is so adorable. 

I have to give credit to Brance for raising him so well. Therefore, I had faith he would find a way to tap into the beautiful part of him that he gives only to his son so It would help him to embrace love without fear.

Brance found his way and the most beautiful thing came from his mouth.
"You are my sunlight and rainbows after a life of storms, don't leave me in the dark"   

Everyone is redeemable if they want to. A beautiful story with engaging characters and emotional and entertaining storyline. Love the narration.

Not a dull moment.

Loved the dual narration of Heather Costa, Jeffrey Kafer

Braelyn is in emotional pain and depressed, since a tragic accident several years before. Her store is her haven until one day it is invaded by this little boy and his dad . Brance, is an abrasive, rude and treats romantic attachments to women with utter contempt.

Well that is until he meet Braelyn.

Wow I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish. I loved the characters even though Brance was a Jackwagon. I wish Bralyn would not have let Brance take control as much as she did at first. Ollie was awesome! The narration was awesome!! I will be putting this on my re-listen list. I definitely recommend this book.

This is the second book I have read/listened to by this author and I loved it my heart from for Bralyn and the tragedy she had survived. I really did not like Brance but i loved how we got to see why he was like he was and the love he has for his son.

I loved the narrators they brought Bralyn and Brance to life.

I would highly recommend this,

This was a really interesting book and I really enjoyed the characters that were created. Definitely my favourite was Ollie but all were characters that I loved. I’ve always loved Harloe’s books and this one is definitely one of her best.

What a fantastic listen
