Rating: 3.5/5 stars

Brent and Hayden have nothing in common and constantly butt heads—until a night together changes everything.

I loved the enemies to lovers vibes here (my favorite trope!) and thought Brent and Hayden had a really good dynamic overall. I also loved the glimpses of Daniel and Story that we got throughout this one, as they’re still my favorite couple from this series so far!

I did wish for more of a suspense element here, and generally thought the plot was a bit silly, as their “obstacle” felt pretty resolvable and there was a lot of miscommunication/lying. Still, this one had enough good characterization that it is probably my second favorite of those I’ve read in the series up to this point.

Hot, hot, hot......

Tessa Bailey has done it again and pulled another hot tamale out of the bag.

We have an explosive pair with Hayden and Brent. Both personalities are strong and they both have a fiery tongue while learning to both give and take in the bedroom.

I gotta say i loved the tension between the two, it really ramped up and held you.

Really hopeing too that Matt gets his side out. That boy wont be quiet for long :)

This was actually my favorite of Tessa's Officer Off Limits series, I missed this one somehow and finally got around to reading it. I really understood where the characters were coming from and felt that the situation was sincere and believable, which I have the hardest time with in novels. Great, quick, funny and sweet read.

The "Line of Duty" series by [a:Tessa Bailey|6953499|Tessa Bailey|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1370043116p2/6953499.jpg] simply gets better with each new installment. ^.^ "Asking for Trouble", the fourth book in the series, is now my favorite.

Lead characters Brent Mason and Hayden Winstead are opposites and don't neither one has a high opinion of the other, based solely on their own preconceived notions. The back and forth between these two was sometimes barbed but always entertaining. The chemistry was palpable and I couldn't help but cheer them on. ^.^ When they weren't flinging insults at one another, they were funny and sweet and the sex was sizzling hot!

It was fun seeing Troy and Ruby again and finding out what happened to Daniel and Story after their story ended in book three, "Office Off Limits". I've got my fingers crossed that the fifth book will focus on Matt because I'd like to find out more about him.

"Asking for Trouble" gets 4.5 stars, rounding them off to five stars for Goodreads' purposes. If you're a fan of the series, this is definitely not to be missed. If you haven't read the series, do so...NOW! ♥
