Publisher's 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.

Simply brilliant!

Wow! This was unbelievable! I wanted it to go on!! Brilliant!! Made me think so much about hearing from Beck’s perspective!! When listening to Sab’s story I realized how many times I didn’t think of what Beck was going through. I love this world and these people. This series has given me so much thought on the history of don’t ask don’t tell. I’m ashamed to say I was so indifferent when it was actually happening. I know it’s cliché but puuullleazzze do another in this series! Please! Spend the credit! It’s worth 20!

I have listened to all three installments of this series. This latest addition is another laugh l, cry and fall in love with Rebecca and Sabine all over again. EJ Noyes is a master at getting you in the feels. As always Abby Craden is swoon worthy at bringing Rebecca Keane to life.

Another Great Addition

I’ve read all the Ask/Tell books by E.J. and I think this one is my favorite. It’s probably because as an Army Medic Veteran I really related to the characters so much. Great story, loving romance & HOTT sex scenes. Overall a great listen.

Wow!

I think in some ways, this book was better than the others in the series. Looking at the story from Beck’s point of view explains a lot. Especially when Sabine was injured during the attack of her Humvee. Because of DADT Rebecca could not express her feelings about her injured lover like a regular person, I remember 12 years ago, when my niece was stationed here in New Mexico she had met a woman (who is her wife now) but she would not do anything until that horrible rule was done away from all the armed forces. She told me she would not subject anyone to that horrific closeted behavior.

I loved the way Noys wrote the plot portraying all the ordeals young men and women go through so they can serve their country,

Abby Craden, as usual, was absolutely wonderful in narrating the story!

Read this series!!

Ok E. J. Noyes is my new favorite author! I've loved everything by her so far, but this series was my favorite! I REALLY hope there's a book 5!! Her stories have depth, humor, her characters are super likeable & the sex scenes are hot. Abby Craden was once again, wonderful narrating. I can't wait to listen to another book by this author!

One of the best!

One of the best stories!! Absolutely love Sabine and Rebecca. The anticipation, the banter, the excitements is so captivating and keeps you wanting more. My favorite chapter is 19…it kept me unable to stop listening and was the sexiest part of the book. I listen to it over and over and it always makes me smile. Abby Craden is my favorite narrator and is amazing in everything I have listened to that she does.

Needed This

I got emotionally invested in these characters and when I saw this book was coming out, I dropped everything to listen. Abby Craden never disappoints with her performances and she did this book justice. It was so wonderful to see the story from Rebecca’s perspective.
