What do you do when the source of all your problems is the one thing you don't know how to fix? With Don't Ask, Don't Tell nothing more than an unpleasant memory, U.S. Army surgeon Sabine Fleischer is ready to move on with her life-if she can just figure out how to move past her PTSD. Fresh from her first deployment since surviving a vehicle attack in Afghanistan, Sabine is finding the things she's tried so hard to push aside aren't as easy to ignore as she'd hoped. Sabine's girlfriend and ex-commanding officer Rebecca Keane is happily settled into her new job running a trauma department in a civilian hospital. Life with Sabine is everything Rebecca ever wanted. But when Sabine's PTSD reappears worse than before, she's left struggling with her own guilt. There's no doubt that both Sabine and Rebecca want the same thing. But how do you help the most important person in your life when they don't want to need your help? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Fast-forward a few years to the repeal of the DADT policy in effect. The unique storyline of Ask, Tell transforms into Ask Me Again, a heartwarming, romantic story between Sabine and Rebecca who have become “inextricably intertwined.” Sabine does not like who she has become because she is struggling with PTSD. The Incident has left Sabine wallowing in self-pity and entrapped in a cycle of what-ifs. However, unlike Ask, Tell, Sabine can tell. Along with the continued support of her family and close friends, Sabine has friend-therapy sessions with Gavin, her companion during The Incident, and professional-therapy sessions with LTC Andrew Pace, her shrink. Then there is the unrelenting, caring support of Rebecca. In her own words, “I stay, I fight, I try because I love you.” You talk about the perfect companion! Rebecca is patient, compassionate, intellectual, faithful (“Kick rocks, Vanessa!”), and downright sexy as hell. Including her POV adds to the complexity and emotional appeal of the story. Likewise, Rebecca’s overall POV symbolizes hope, which counteracts Sabine’s self-destructive thoughts and actions. As stated before, Sabine and Rebecca are “inextricably intertwined” and what better way to show the dynamics of their intimate connection than to include both of their POVs. I empathized with Sabine in the first book, but now that I have had the chance to “head hop” into Rebecca’s thoughts, their love feels much more authentic, much more sensual, and much more...everything.
All right, I am done rambling. Ask Me Again is an awesome continuation of Ask, Tell. Sabine and Rebecca's continued journey will stay with you long after you have read the last page of their tale. ( )
