Review - ASKING FOR IT by Lilah Pace

“This is who I am. This is what I want. Now I need a man dangerous enough to give it to me.”

Graduate student Vivienne Charles is afraid of her own desires—ashamed to admit that she fantasizes about being taken by force, by a man who will claim her completely and without mercy. When the magnetic, mysterious Jonah Marks learns her secret, he makes an offer that stuns her: they will remain near-strangers to each other, and meet in secret so that he can fulfill her fantasy.

Their arrangement is twisted. The sex is incredible. And—despite their attempts to stay apart—soon their emotions are bound together as tightly as the rope around Vivienne’s wrists. But the secrets in their pasts threaten to turn their affair even darker...

4 of 5 STARS

I enjoyed the main characters as well as the others throughout the book. Jonah comes across as cold and standoffish in the beginning but comes out of his shell later in the book. Vivienne socializes well with everyone around her while hiding dark secrets from her past.

Their desires bring them together only to discover the truth behind them is darker them either expected. The story was well written and kept my attention throughout the entire book. I was definitely not ready for that end at all.

Very interested in reading more from Lilah Pace. Is it September yet? I will be watching for Begging for it.
