Definitely an emotional read, slow burner like the first one but it was a brilliant sequel and I look forward to reading the other 2 in the series

Loved “Ask, Tell” and enjoyed this one a lot, too. Great story, character development, respectful relationships and I really like the narrator. I’ve listened to it twice :)

really hot sex scenes

Ask Me Again by E. J. Noyes, narrated by Abby Craden, is truly exceptional. This sequel is the follow-up to the very good Ask, Tell and focuses on the effects of PTSD on a military surgeon and her partner after an incident during a war zone deployment. The writing is so beautifully descriptive and I deeply felt the emotions of the main characters - their worries, anxiety, desperation, hopelessness, and sometimes terror. That said - please don't let that discourage you from giving this work a chance. The characters - both main and supporting - are so well written that I completely fell in love with them and was desperate for them to find a way through this and get to the other side. The detail was precise and exquisite. I have no personal knowledge of PTSD or it's affects but feel after reading this that I have a much better understanding of - and compassion for - what it might be like. This is one of those truly special audiobook experiences that made me hate having to be a productive member of society instead of focusing solely on the recording. Ask, Tell introduces their story and is set during the time when Don't Ask, Don't Tell was still military policy. The sequel begins just as that policy has been repealed. Ultimately, this is an absolutely gorgeous love story and one that will stay with me for a good while. I can't recommend it highly enough.
