In BEG ME, Tania is dealing with the loss of her husband when his twin brother commits the ultimate act of betrayal. Now, she is still trying to cope with the loss of... well, everything. The only person she feels she can turn to in order to feel any semblance of security is her husband's best friend Drake, who has harbored feelings for her for several years.Seeing the events of the past mix with Tania's haunting present tugged at m heartstrings, and I admit I cried more than once. The depth of emotion that plays out on the pages ripped me in two. Both Tania and Drake were dealing with the death of Tania's husband, as well as the aftermath of the attack on Tania, and their sorrow was a tangible thing. There were a few times that I had to set my iPad down for a minute or two simply because I wasn't sure I could handle it all in one sitting.The entire story was intense and incredibly emotional. The trauma that Tania survived is something I can't even begin to imagine, much less how she managed to move on from it. I could feel the depth of her despair, and my heart shattered over and over again. I loved how loyal and true Drake is to her - he's the very definition of knight in shining armor.I did have an issue with how Tania chose to overcome her fears, but only because it was written so well that I felt everything right along with them. It wasn't an easy scene to read, despite the fact that I know Tania felt it necessary to do what she did. (to be fair - there is a warning at the beginning of the book)
