EXCERPT + REVIEW: Asking For It

 

EXCERPT + REVIEW: Asking For ItAsking For It Amazon | Kobo | iTunes | B&N


“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...

Reader Advisory: Asking for It deals explicitly with fantasies of non-consensual sex. Readers sensitive to portrayals of non-consensual sex should be advised.

 

EXCERPT


He rises from the bench as I walk to him, an old-fashioned, almost chivalrous gesture that touches me in a way I can’t define. As we sit down together, he says, “Is everything all right?”

“No.” I take a deep breath. “Jonah, I can’t keep doing this. Meeting you. Playing out our – scenes. It has to stop.”

At first he says nothing. His expression remains cool. Is he that controlled? Will he just get up and walk away like none of it ever happened?

But it couldn’t have ended any other way.

Finally Jonah speaks. “You weren’t unhappy with – what I did at the benefit.”

“No.” God, no. When I think about the way he slid his fingers inside my panties, I want to take back everything I’ve said, grab him by the collar and drag him into the nearest building for a quickie in the stairwell. It would be as scorching hot as every other time Jonah’s put his hands on my skin.

And it would only be delaying the inevitable.

I take a deep breath. “This isn’t about anything you did wrong. Okay? You’ve kept every promise. You made me feel safe at moments I don’t think any other man could have, ever. And you –” My voice breaks. Dammit. I pull myself together. “You saw something in me I’ve always hated and made me feel less ashamed of it for a while. So thanks for that. And the sex. Definitely thanks for the sex.”

My crooked smile doesn’t fool him for a moment. Jonah leans forward; he brings his hand closer to me, as if he’ll touch my shoulder, but rests it on the back of the bench instead. “Vivienne, what’s wrong?”

This is normally where I bunt. Where I take the gentlest, easiest out for everyone involved, so we can walk away with no hurt feelings, no unresolved conflicts.

I’ve always thought of it as consideration, or poise. Doreen says it’s dishonesty, and asks me what would happen if for once in my life I just told the ugly truth and let people deal with it.

Jonah already knows one of my uglier truths. What the hell.

“I thought I could have sex outside of a relationship, with no strings attached,” I say. “I did in undergrad, like anyone else. Probably I could do it again with someone else. But you and me – it’s not a normal situation. Not only because of, you know, the fantasy –” I glance around, but few students walk anywhere near us, and every single one is either wearing earbuds or absorbed in their cell phones. “It’s more complicated than that.”

“Our arrangement is simple,” he says flatly. “We were very specific about what this would be and how we would handle it.”

“This isn’t about logistics.” I look upward at a pale gray sky, the kind you see when the clouds have claimed the entire sky. Truth. Tell the real truth. “Jonah, every time I’m with you, it’s more than sex. Every time, I turn myself over to you, completely. I have to give you total control, and total trust.”

“I haven’t abused that trust, have I?”

Shaking my head, I say, “No. But don’t you see? I don’t just fuck you, Jonah. I bare my soul to you. Then we go back to being almost strangers to each other. The disconnect is getting to me, and I don’t think I can handle it anymore.”

Despite all our rules and resolutions, I have begun to have feelings for Jonah. To feel jealous of other women he might touch. To want to have not just his body but his heart. That means I want too much. Which in turn means I have to get out, now.

 

REVIEW


Holy mother of all book hangovers! I just might cry because I just had to dig into Asking For It by Lilah Pace even knowing there would be a bit of a cliffhanger (because there will be a second book called Begging For It).

But I’ll be honest. I was not initially drawn to this book. While I don’t think there is anything wrong with the synopsis – because it really is very true to the story – I found for some (including myself) the rape fantasy part of the story it could be a little off putting. However, for some the synopsis is what made it a must read. To each his own.

Here’s my thing. If you’re going to tackle something like a woman who has rape fantasies – it has to be done tastefully and have the story to go behind it. Now for some, they just might be into that kind of kink. We’ve all read some BDSM erotica that included some kink that left us feeling a little uncomfortable after reading. I just couldn’t figure out how Asking For it’s story would play out just by the synopsis.

So. It took a dear friend of mine basically demanding I read it during RT for me to finally pick it up. And let me tell you – I could kiss her!

Not only did Asking For It have the story to go behind the topic where a girl has rape fantasies, but that story was so addicting and captivating I could NOT put it down until the end!

REVIEW: Small Town, Big Magic

  • This is an all-new Forbidden Romance and 
TOTAL standalone about an outsider who falls for the heiress to
 an untouchable empire... 
 
 
Synopsis
 
Bastian Bishop. That's his name.
He's rough, rugged, and utterly unpredictable.
He's not cautious or contemplative. He's a volcano. Silent and steady one second, and a nightmare in the next.
 
But that's not the worst of it.
This guy? He's an outsider and in my world outsiders don't belong.
They're unwanted, unwelcome and known to disappear without a trace, yet he doesn't seem to care.
 
After one night of reckless rebellion, the tattooed tyrant keeps coming back, sneaking into my world without permission, and causing trouble I can't allow.
 
I should end this now before my father discovers his existence and does it for me, but he won't allow it.
 
He says, like it or not … I am his now, that nothing and no one will stand in his way.
 
What he refuses to understand is I'm a Girl of Greyson, a coveted queen of sorts in the underground crime world.
He's a nobody, an insignificant man with nothing to his name, marking him a threat to my own.
 
We could never be, but he won't hear it.
And me? I know exactly how this ends.
 
Or so I thought I did, until betrayal burns so deep that suddenly nothing makes sense.
 
Nothing but him…

Tuesday
 
Each day I long for the forbidden.
Dreams like seeds planted in poor soil.
 
My future has been sown since I was young, and now the man I’ve fallen for is off-limits.
Not that he'd give me the time of day.
 
My brother's best friend puts out fires by day, and ignites unfamiliar feelings by night.
How do I pluck these desires before they overtake me?
 
I'm choosing to stay positive. Live joyfully, like a sunflower.
 
If only someone like Alex could adore me as I do my faithful blossoms.
 
Alex
 
My life is nearly perfect.
Great job, hot girl, and amazing friends.
So why do I feel off?
 
I'm not looking for more. And if I was, the last thing I'm allowed to consider is Tuesday Palmer.
 
If only she hadn't put me under a spell with her bright smile and radiant personality.
 
But restraint is the name of this game.
I can only look, not touch, this tempting flower.
 
Even if I'm dying to surrender.

He used to crush on her best friend.

How can he convince her falling for him won’t crush her heart?

Though Nick Mancini flirts with her like it’s his second job, Kate Andrews tries to ignore the sexy construction worker. How could he be interested in her? Not that long ago, he was in love with Kate’s best friend, Faith. His muscled body and sexy dimples are hard to resist, but Kate refuses to be anyone’s rebound girl. Been there, done that, burned the road map.
Trouble is, Kate does believe love at first sight. But it has to be a two-way street, and she’s convinced she and Nick are destined to crash and burn.

Nick can pinpoint the exact moment he gave up on Faith, and really saw Kate for the first time. He’d ticked her off and she’d been seriously angry. He’d looked right into those flashing green eyes, and he was a goner. He’s pretty sure Kate feels the same way, but despite their off-the-charts chemistry, she rejects him at every turn.

But Nick is nothing if not persistent and the longing looks she sneaks his way don’t lie. She wants him, too. For Nick to break through Kate’s barriers, he’ll have to throw out the original blueprint and come up with a whole new plan. One that takes him off guard and cements their future.

Note: Fated was previously published under the same title by NYT bestselling author Carly Phillips. Contains a middle school English teacher who never makes the same mistake twice, and a hunky construction worker who understands every possible definition of the word nailed. Enjoy!

Pro hockey player Archer Holt is taking his charm and swagger from the ice to the...sand? One of sixteen players competing to be the last man standing on a new reality show, he’s all in until he finds out the meaning behind the show’s title—Exiled.

Archer
Before I was a pro hockey player, I was an Eagle Scout. I can tie knots, build shelters and fish like nobody’s business, making me the perfect choice to represent my team on a reality show set on a primitive tropical island. I can endure scorching heat, tough competitions and torrential rainfall—no problem. But when I find out who my partner is, I’m not so sure I’ll survive being stranded on an island with her.

Lauren
Archer Holt broke my heart eight years ago. Now he’s rich and famous, and I’m a high school English teacher in our hometown. When I’m offered the chance to compete for half a million dollars by outlasting fifteen other teams on an island with my selfish jerk of an ex, I jump at it, because that money can change not just my life, but my family’s. Besides, I’m long over Archer.
Or so I thought.

  • Okay, people, it’s happening! This is not a drill!!!

This emotionally gripping single dad/single mom romance is going to blow your mind. Get ready for a wild ride of twists and turns!!!
Link in Profile…

In the aftermath of tragedy, it’s strange the things you remember.
The deafening boom as the house exploded.
The paralyzing fear as I searched for my wife.
The blinding smoke burning my eyes as I carried her out.

But carved into my soul for the rest of my days would be the earth-shattering realization that the woman in my arms wasn’t my wife.

Bree and I were the only survivors—not that either of us were truly living after that night. As a single dad with nowhere else to go, I moved into her guest house. And somehow, through the guilt and grief, we forged an unlikely team.

It took years, but I watched the gradual return of her smile—slow and life-altering.The two of us could sit outside for hours, talking about nothing, and it filled the massive hole in my chest with new life.

I may have carried her out of that fire, but the truth was, Bree saved me.
As we healed, the secrets and lies of the past smoldered in the ashes, threatening to ignite again.

Our love was born from the embers, and together we would go up in flames.

Lauren Archer Holt broke my heart eight years ago. Now he’s rich and famous, and I’m a high school English teacher in our hometown. When I’m offered the chance to compete for half a million dollars by outlasting fifteen other teams on an island with my selfish jerk of an ex, I jump at it, because that money can change not just my life, but my family’s. Besides, I’m long over Archer. Or so I thought. #Exiled #BrendaRothert #newbooks #enemiestolovers #hockeyromance #givemebookspr #kindlebooks #standaloneromance #strandedonanisland #secondchanceromance

Okay, people, it’s happening! This is not a drill!!!

This emotionally gripping single dad/single mom romance is going to blow your mind. Get ready for a wild ride of twists and turns!!!
Link in Profile…

In the aftermath of tragedy, it’s strange the things you remember.
The deafening boom as the house exploded.
The paralyzing fear as I searched for my wife.
The blinding smoke burning my eyes as I carried her out.

But carved into my soul for the rest of my days would be the earth-shattering realization that the woman in my arms wasn’t my wife.

Bree and I were the only survivors—not that either of us were truly living after that night. As a single dad with nowhere else to go, I moved into her guest house. And somehow, through the guilt and grief, we forged an unlikely team.

It took years, but I watched the gradual return of her smile—slow and life-altering.The two of us could sit outside for hours, talking about nothing, and it filled the massive hole in my chest with new life.

I may have carried her out of that fire, but the truth was, Bree saved me.
As we healed, the secrets and lies of the past smoldered in the ashes, threatening to ignite again.

Our love was born from the embers, and together we would go up in flames.
