Asking for It by Lilah Pace
4.0

So I liked this more than I thought I would. It was very different from what I was expecting, and even though the ending wasn't exactly what I was looking for, it wasn't a bad cliffhanger...there is one, but you see that there will definitely be more for these two. Another aspect I liked, was seeing how various people react to rape differently. That it affects your mind in ways you don't like but have to find a way to accept it in your life. We see some revealing truths especially for the heroine and she faces certain facets of herself she has kept away hidden until the hero (Jonas) comes onto the scene. This is definitely a erotic romance, but what shocked me was the level of emotion that was displayed (definitely not used to see that in erotic romance), I was drawn into this story, and even though this is not my type of story I like, it had certain qualities that kept me drawn into it. I am really excited for the sequel "Begging For It" and I hope we see these two find a balance in their relationship.
