Summary

Rebecca Keane has it all figured out. With a successful career as an Army surgeon and a fresh promotion to lieutenant colonel, she loves her life leading a surgical team. Even if that life means she’s spent years hiding her sexuality and ignoring her desires under the Army’s "don’t ask, don’t tell" policy. Then Captain Sabine Fleischer’s arrival sets off an attraction that cracks Rebecca’s carefully cultivated armor and brings about fresh complications.

As Sabine’s direct commanding officer, Rebecca knows she cannot act on her attraction, but that knowledge does nothing to squash her desires. Unable to keep her thoughts about the alluring other woman under control, Rebecca resigns herself to years of censoring her thoughts and feelings until Sabine’s time in the Army is done. She’s spent decades suppressing parts of herself for her job, so what’s a few more years?

But as Rebecca and Sabine work closely together on Army bases in Afghanistan and the States, the undeniable sparks between them begin to ignite. And despite Rebecca’s constant self-censure, her denials and her knowledge of every obstacle standing between them, her resolve crumbles with each passing day. But when the consequences of your love run deeper than just breaking one of the unbreakable rules of the military, you risk losing more than just your heart.

If I Don’t Ask is the must-hear story telling Rebecca’s side of E. J. Noyes’ best-selling Ask, Tell.

Amazing

I’ve listened to Ask two and ask me again at least a couple of times each now, this was a welcomed addition to the series. Brilliantly written and narrated as always. I’ve loved this series so a version from Becs prospective was amazing! Highly recommended!

Just WOW!!!!!

Another outstanding book. I really didn't think the 'Ask, Tell' couldn't be improved uoon, but E J Noyes has done it again.

As for narration, there aren't enough superlatives to describe Abby Craden. The Noyes/Craden combo knocked it out of the park AGAIN!!!!!

awesome! xxx Fits perfectly with the first book..

Ive been eagerly waiting for this book to the point I emailed Bella books to find out if Audible were recording it, bought extra credits to purchase it, and listened to it in one sitting! xxx It was everything I hoped it would be and more xxx It May be book 4 but I'd advise listening to it as book 2 xxx Ask Tell/ If I dont ask/ Ask me again / If the shoe fits xxx Just need a 5th now for Sabine to leave the army and start her life in a regular hospital, along side Bek/ PTSD/ Janna and Brooke/ Mitch and Mike/ parents/ Grand parents... PLEASE?? xxx

Necessary and beautiful

Thank you EJ Noyes for this book.
Gives you both sides of the story and it is beautiful, sad, painful and necessary.
You get to know both MC on a deeper level and how this is one of the most beautiful love stories.

Loved hearing Rebecca's side!

After listening to all the others in this series;
Ask, Tell.
Ask me Again.
If the Shoe Fits.

I loved going back to the very beginning and hearing Rebecca's side of things! It's an absolute must read/hear. You could even start with this book and move to the others.

Abby Craden was fabulous as always .. hope she does the next E.J Noyes book!

Also hope E.J decides to write another in this series .. perhaps a few years after If the Shoe Fits!

Brilliant.

When I realised this book was going to be available I was so happy. Lt. Colonel Rebecca Keane is one of my favourite characters. I wasn't disappointed when I read the book. It was fascinating to find out more about her, her background , her friends outside the army and the struggles she had once Sabine pinged on her radar. Needless to say the narration by AC was spot on and greatly enhanced my enjoyment.
