Find this review and more at Lusty Penguin Reviews!K E Osborn writes a compelling and captivating contemporary romance in Trust Me?, the first book in the trilogy of the same name. Osborn pulls you into her story, effectively telling the story through Jenifer “Jeni” Taylor’s eyes.Since breaking up with her abusive boyfriend, Jeni has major trust issues with men, fearing that all men will be like her ex. Unfortunately for Jeni, fear has paralyzed her, and she has stopped dating all together. Fate has other plans for Jeni when her car is rear-ended by the stunningly handsome Aiden O’Connell, who. is instantly taken in by Jeni’s personality and asks her out on a date. Jeni and Aiden’s chemistry sizzles, and their quick-witted banter is thoroughly entertaining. Jeni is a softhearted character who wants to be loved for who she is, which I just loved about her. She also tends to put the needs of others before her own, which is something I can relate to. Unfortunately, at times, this trait ends up being emotionally detrimental. Jeni and Aiden fall hard for each other, and she worries that everything is happening too quickly. Their bedroom play is off the charts and spicy hot. When Jeni discovers Aiden is being investigated by the police, her trust issues come to the forefront.Alistair, Aiden’s father, treats Jeni abysmally, making him a character you just love to hate. A compelling character, Aiden realizes he really will need to earn Jeni’s trust slowly, which endeared his character to me. Aiden is a romantic at heart, sending flowers with heartfelt notes to Jeni every week, making me smile each time.Another aspect of this story that I absolutely adored is Jeni’s amazing relationship with her best friend, Sarah. Since Sarah knows Jeni so well, she can to push Jeni back into the dating scene with Aiden. Sarah and Jeni’s emails and texts are a hoot as they create hilarious names for the men in their lives, which had me chuckling out loud.Jeni and Aiden are a mesmerizing couple that held me entranced right up to the shocking cliffhanger ending, which makes Trust Me? a stunning beginning to a new series. So much so, that I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. Thank goodness the second book is out already.I received an eBook copy of the book for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility.
