Ask Me Why
Bryan is beyond broken and feels he will never have a decent life, existing in a world where he will never fit in. Finally breaking free from his parents, who knew nothing about love, abuse, hate, and anger was all he ever knew.
Until he looked into the eyes of Ramie Garland.
Ramie’s appearance only screamed happiness, fun, and love. The three things Bryan never knew existed. Her eyes spoke the words she never had to say out loud. Being around her made him want to be a better person. Finding the courage to ask her to be his girl will be a challenge.
Attending college at LSU, miles away from home and Bryan, Ramie shares a house with her older cousin, Ethan. Dealing with Ethan's not-so-innocent friends, Ramie finds herself in a situation that changes her life when she least expected it.
Can the two of them find their way to each other, or will they continue to ask themselves why things can't be different?

I was really looking forward to what this book would entail because from the first two we saw that they were about Jenna and Bryson and their family, however we saw bits and pieces about Bryan and Ramie and I was really intrigued to know about their story. From the start of the first book when we was introduced to Bryan I wanted to know more about him and how could he put up with the way his parents treated him, Caden and Jenna, so when I saw that he was getting his own story I was so happy. Ramie on the other hand I wasn’t fully sure on when I first read about her in the first two books, however when it came to this one I was really torn because she was completely different, and I think the fact that we was reading from her angle and perspective made it all that better and challenged you in a way.
Either way I am glad that Ramie and Bryan had their own story as we found out a lot more to what happened from before Jenna went into the care system and after Jenna and Bryson got married, it filled in a lot of gaps and I loved each and every minute of it and I seriously think that you will all too. From what I have heard and seen this book is everyone’s favourite, but for me I honestly can’t pick as all of them are equally amazing and well written. It really takes a lot for an author to completely throw me off and so far Nessie Wallace has done that with all three books, and honestly I can’t for the next book in the series. Throughout this book your emotions will be pulled you will be dragged in by other characters and actually like those that you never thought you would. I would honestly tell you how things happen in this book but honestly Nessie has managed to made me lose my words so I will just leave it to you to just hope that what I tell you is true and you pick up this book for yourself to find out.

In the 2nd book of the Why Series, the reader discovers Ramie and Bryan's love story and the hardships in their lives. They seem to be so perfect for each other. Whenever Ramie is in trouble Bryan is there to help and when he is confronted by people in his past she is there to show him love. There is no doubt they are soul mates.
Being harassed and chased by a creep, Ramie has no interest in losing her virginity to the person she is running from. Abused and beaten as a child, Bryan must learn how to heal and come to terms with the past. It leads him to reuniting with family who he lost during a time he needed them the most.
I'm rating Ask Me Why a 4 out of 5 stars. Getting to know the characters and watching them grow up from the negativity in their past makes me feel like a close friend. I was deeply saddened when reading about Bryan's past and the abuse he endured. No child should have to live in that environment.

This story completely broke my heart. I'm so happy that Bryan got his own book after the past we have seen him live in. Hes broken but oh so sexy, you would never expect a guy who has seen and been through so much abuse and torture would be so protecting and utterly amazing.
This series has been truly amazing from the first book. Nessie will suck you into the world of these characters and she will not spit you back out even after you get finished with the books. You will want to be in these characters lives.
Once Bryan has enough courage to ask Ramie out they become inseparable. Both of their pasts have the power to either make them stronger as a couple or to tear them completely apart. Will they be able to overcome every obstacles thrown in their path. Or when the going gets to tough for the both of them will they go their separate ways?

5 Star Review of Ask Me Why by Nessie Wallace
Bryan's story was absolutely heartbreaking. I was so happy that he got his own book. He is so amazing and protective. He is the type of man you want in your corner. He is so broken and sexy. He has known such abuse and torture, but that never took away from the amazing man he came to be. The bond he forged with Caden and Jenna is beautiful and so full of love.
Ramie is the nurturing sassy girl next door that everyone wants to be friends with. She suffered such horrific attacks, and with the help of Bryan she begins to heal.
I don't want to give to much away, but this is a series you definitely want to check out. I am so happy I got a chance to read the series.

when I started this series I had saw someone on my facebook post about reading these books by Nessie Wallace. So I thought well I will give them a shot. Now I am so glad that I did. These books are so full of emotion, strength, courage, devotion, love. There were times when reading these books where I was holding my breath not knowing what was going to come next, crying at parts that were simply amazing, and saying "oh hell no" at other parts(and hate certain characters). I really thought when I started these that they were going to be like all the other books that I have read but they were nothing like that at all. Wonderful book series ready for more.

I'm a huge fan of the Why series, and Ask Me Why just might be the best yet. Once Bryan get the courage to ask out Ramie they become inseparable. They soon find out that they share many of the same values and are both striving to create a better life for themselves. The obstacles they face have to potential to either make their relationship stronger or destroy it completely.
Nessie Wallace has truly grown as an author with the release of Ask Me Why. Ramie and Bryan's story just might be my favorite. Ask Me Why, and the entire Why series is a must read.

Well, as I was reading this book, I was also wiping tears from my eyes, I felt the pain that Bryan has had to deal with and the turmoil Ramie has been through. This book definitely answered some questions that I had after reading Tell me Why and This is Why, it tied everything together for me. Together Bryan and Ramie can fix each other and help with healing of deep wounds they both have. Nessie has truly pulled me into her world, she makes you feel every emotion possible when reading her books. Awesome job, can’t wait to wait to read more by Nessie.

** Review by Kylie from Bloggers From Down Under **
Just when I thought this series couldn't get any better, along comes Ramie and Bryan's story.
This is a story of fighting for love, family and realisation that family isn't always blood.
Ramie wants to move home to be closer to Bryan, but she still has college to think about, and she's pretty sure there is no way her mother would allow her to jeopardise her studies.
The final straw comes one night when Ramie is viciously assaulted. Her life hangs in the balance, and what makes this matter worse than it is, is the fact the attacker is known to her.
Will everything fall into place for Ramie and Bryan?
And will they get their happy ever after?
If you are after a nice easy read to pass a lazy Sunday, then this is the book for you.
4/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In this book you get to know more about Bryan and Ramie. Bryan had such a horrid childhood but through personal strength and faith he becomes a true romance hero! Ramie is a great character who is willing to help Bryan become who he's meant to be. She is a great partner who shows Bryan how to love.. I am excited about the next book in this heartwarming series!

Great series so far! If you like mushy love with a bit of suspense you’ll want to download this! I loved that even though Bryan went through so much abuse in life he came out on top. He’s such a great guy and I feel that his story made this book for me.

Nessie Wallace is absolutely one of my favorite authors. I jumped on her band wagon just as soon as I found her. I have to say in all honesty she out did herself with this one.
Bryson has always been my favorite man in the series and I didn’t think that Bryan would be able to top him. I was dead wrong. Bryan has lived a rough life that broke my heart hearing all the details and poor Ramie’s life was no walk in the park either.
Bryan and Ramie both face hellacious challenges all in a matter of days into their new relationship that no one should ever have to face. The fact that their love conquered all left me feeling all warm and fuzzy.
Nessie is the queen at writing stories that will rip your heart out only to sew it back up. If I have never said this before though I know I have; I am forever a fan. She is such an amazing author. BUY THIS BOOK NOW! 5+ Stars!

If you enjoy a good old fashioned love story then this is the book for you. Bryan loves his women and treats her like a queen. They fall In love fast but it's realistic with the circumstances. Ask me why I like this book... Sometimes you need to read the overly sweet stories to keep believing in the fairy tale. "Live, Laugh, and Love harder". Words to live by.
