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
Brance’s
suit is deliciously rumpled. A naughty gleam lingers in his eyes. Evidence of
our kiss lingers on his lips, slightly swollen and red. His hair sticks up in
sexy disarray, sections pointing in every direction. I curl my fingers, hiding
the guilty offenders. But combing through those silky strands will be committed
to memory. I want to do that again, multiple times. But I tamp my trampy side
down. For now.
He makes
quick work of straightening his tie. “You owe me a story.”
A boulder
drops in my gut. “Now?”
Brance
sweeps the brown locks off his forehead, erasing more proof of our tryst. “Nah,
gotta get back to the office.”
“Already?”
I’m still recovering from my orgasm.
He smooths
the wrinkles from his shirt. “My schedule leaves no time for deviations. I have
a full calendar every day. This indiscretion cost me several hours. I’ll be
working late to catch up.”
“Was that a
dig at me?”
“Does it matter?”
“Really,
Brance? Just like that?”
“Were you
expecting something else?”
I open my
mouth, then close it. Was I? How could I? Brance smirks at my extended silence.
“That’s
what I thought.” He tops it off with a wink for good measure.
“You’re
such an—”
“Asshole.
Yeah, got it. I don’t have time to rehash the details.”

My Review
5 Stars
Ask Me Why by Harloe Rae is the story of Brance Stone and Braelyn Miller 'Brae'.
Brance is the hero in the romance book that you start out hating due to his treatment of others because of his past hurt. But, the two exceptions to his attitude is Oliver 'Ollie' his son and the nanny (grandmotherly) Mary. Braelyn was in a terrible car accident a few years ago that took her fiancés and left her with PTSD. Now she is trying to move past the pain and she falls in love with the little boy named Ollie who starts to come into her store . But the father is a different matter because his is every kind of rude and hurtful. But of course Brance can only be so mean and stern before he can't help but claim her.
Loved this story!!
