She Asked for It

 
 
So to be honest from the get go this author can be a little hit or miss for me. Sometimes I find her book uber angsty and all over the place and other times they just CLICK and I find myself blown away by the story. This one fell firmly in the BLOWN AWAY category. I genuinely loved every word, every paragraph, every page, every chapter of this story.


 

On to the details...I found this one to be well written. The pace was perfect and my attention never wandered nor did I feel the need to skim. The plot was super engaging and had me turning the pages like a crazy woman. The mystery aspect was very well done. In fact, I thought I had this one figured out, turns out I DID NOT. ‘Nuff said about that. The angst level in this one was fairly low and there was no OW/OM drama. Neither character were virgins and in fact, one thing I loved about the heroine was that she owned her sexuality. The sex scenes were both hot and plentiful. There was a smallish cast of secondary characters. I know one, in particular, is getting his own book (next I think) and I wouldn't mind seeing a female character that was introduced get a book of her own as well. In any case, they all added a nice extra layer of depth to the story.


 

Both the main characters in this one were extremely likable. Dean had that sexy asshole thing down to an art form but at the same time when it came to Allie, he had a sweetness and vulnerability that made you want to wrap him up in your arms. He was pretty much all in from the moment he met Allie. I also adored Allie. Like I mentioned above, she owned her sexuality. She liked what she liked, and she acted however she wanted to. I will say I wished she had opened herself up earlier to Dean, but I also understood why she didn't. Last, it was all wrapped up in a good HFN (not great) ending TINY issues I still thought this was a damn fine read and therefore it gets two HUGE thumbs up.
