Find this review and more at Lusty Penguin Reviews!Love Me?, the second book in the Trust Me? trilogy by K E Osborn, picks up right where the first book leaves off, making this a series that needs to be read in order.The stunning legal events from the first book are quickly resolved at the beginning of this story, allowing Jeni Taylor and Aiden O’Connell to move on with their relationship.Now that Aiden’s legal issues are over, Jeni can’t wait to get on with living their lives together. Content with where their relationship is, Jeni sees her trust issues settling down a bit. Unfortunately life throws Jen and Aiden a curve ball when he is promoted at work and now will be working closely with his father, Alistair. As Aiden’s personal assistant, Jeni is hesitant about this new situation because now she too has to work everyday with Alistair. When a stunning accident causes a painful loss, Jeni and Aiden work together to help each other through their grief, which is a beautiful thing to see. These two are a couple to cheer for as they work to build a solid foundation for a relationship. In this story, Aiden, shows a bit more of his personality, and some of his darker moods set off bells in Jeni’s head. She worries that Aiden, years from now, will become verbally and potentially physically abusive like his father. After Jeni is brutally attacked and discovers what Aiden did to her attacker, she determines that he is just like his dad. Osborn does a masterful job of realistically showing Jeni’s fears and feelings after the attack. Although on the surface it seems that Jeni is being unreasonable, I really felt that, after the trauma she experienced, her rational and logical thinking wouldn’t reappear right away, even with her family and friends stating the obvious.Once again, I was totally enamored with Jeni and Aiden’s love story right up to the heart-wrenching ending, making Love Me? impossible to put down. I am anxiously awaiting the conclusion to this series, which can’t come soon enough as far as I’m concerned.
