Brooke Anderson never pictured herself as a divorcee at twenty-eight. But when she mentions getting a post-nup to her husband Garrett after one deliciously sex-filled year, he promptly serves her with divorce papers. Admittedly, she could’ve told him about how her father left her and her mother homeless when she was young, and how she’s never been wired to trust anyone. Especially those closest to her. Now, all she wants to do is avoid anywhere he might be so she won’t have to face him again.
But she’s not the only one who can’t seem to trust.
Garrett Call grew up with parents who married for money and wants no part of a life that puts material possessions above love. He reinvented himself in college, complete with a new last name so he couldn’t be tied to his family’s lucrative business. He never even told Brooke the truth. Admittedly, he could’ve handled the issue of a post-nup better with his ex-wife. Maybe he didn’t count on how much he was going to miss having her in his life.
When their best friends’ wedding forces the exes to see each other again, a dangerous man from Garrett’s world threatens Brooke’s life. And they realize the only way to save themselves is to finally learn to trust each other.

Review
Trust Me is the story of a tragic lack of communication and serious trust issues. Both Garrett and Brooke have good reasons for their attitudes towards money - but neither are willing to share those reasons with their spouse, leading to two people who love each other getting a quick divorce.
Quick being the operative word. I was left a little
confused by the timeline of this book because it seems that they went
10 days from fight to divorce finalisation which seems unnecessarily
hasty. Of course, the timeline is shortened by the upcoming wedding of
their friends and their trust issues are put to the test when danger
looms. Honestly such a lot happened, this could definitely have been a
longer book. A little more page space could've reduced the awkward
beginning infodumps as well.
Overall I enjoyed this book and found it a short and sexy read but it did feel a little rushed.
