Wow!  Where do I begin?  I've always enjoyed Tessa Bailey's dirty talking cops, but she has DEFINITELY hit the ball out of the park with Asking For Trouble (Brent loves the Mets-hence the baseball reference).  The depth and complexity of Brent and Hayden far surpasses all the others.  Don't get me wrong.  I absolutely love all of Ms. Bailey's characters, but there is so much more to Brent and Hayden than meets the eye.  I think the phrase "you can't judge a book by its cover" unquestionably applies to them both.Hayden lives in Manhattan and was born and raised in a privileged life always having anything and everything her heart could desire.  That is, everything of a material nature.  Brent lives in Queens and has always had to work very hard for what he has, though never complaining that he had to do so.  Hayden and Brent are definitely two opposites whose lives would undoubtedly never cross paths unless their best friends were dating.  They have always displayed an intense dislike for one another never even attempting to hide their lack of affection.  But when one evening of sexual bantering turns into the most mind blowing and indescribable experience they have ever had, they both come to the realization that there may be something deeper than what they display on the surface.  But the prominent question ultimately arises: will Brent and Hayden ever be able to put aside their differences and overcome the outside circumstances intervening in their lives?There is most certainly an unequivocal connection between these two characters, and ultimately one that strives to surpass the difficulties and issues existing between them.  I have heard it said that sometimes love is masked by what is perceived to be an extreme hatred, and you have to look past the surface of what you see delving deep into the soul to find what may undeniably be what you have been looking to find.  Well, I believe that truly describes these two characters. Not to mention the oh-so-steamy moments in page after page of sexual attraction between them which Tessa Bailey has captured here in Asking For Trouble.If you liked the rest of this series and haven't yet picked this one up, what are you waiting for?  Do it now!  You will definitely be glad you did, and the love and ultimate devotion will capture your heart just as it has mine.5+ Stars
