Once
upon a time, gut-wrenching betrayal at the hands of the man she loved drove
Elizabeth to accept the wedding proposal of another man, the Lord Hawthorne.
Now widowed, Elizabeth finds herself besieged by Marcus Ashford’s attentions,
whether she likes it or not. The real problem is, she likes her once wayward
love’s attention all too much, a fact which makes it more difficult to resist
the libertine by the day.
As an agent to the Crown, it is Marcus’ duty to protect Elizabeth from suffering
a similar fate as her husband, whilst investigating that man’s murder. If that
duty keeps him in close proximity to the lovely widow, then all the better. He
is not a man to bypass a golden opportunity when it presents itself, and this
most certainly qualifies.
Marcus is determined to finally have his way with his ex, but the tricky part
will be keeping his heart out of the equation long enough to satisfy his thirst
for her passion.
I am a huge fan of author Sylvia Day, and of her historical series, THE
GEORGIAN SERIES. I confess, however, I had no idea how much I would
enjoy these stories until I read the second in the saga, PASSION FOR THE
GAME. That book fed my hunger for more, and I have since devoured all
of these wonderful books. Although ASK FOR IT is actually the
first book in the series, I read it fourth. I had absolutely no trouble
understanding any part of the series, even though I read them out of order.
Actually, this is the easiest story to read out of sequence, as the characters
in this book don’t have quite as large a part to play in the later books. While
the stories are definitely connected, they aren’t dependent on each other.
Sylvia Day is a writer who knows how to turn the heat up and keep it there, and
that is certainly true of ASK FOR IT! Watching Marcus seduce
Elizabeth is enough to make anyone hot under the collar. But the story is a lot
more than just bedroom antics. No, this romance is rife with emotion ranging
from hurt and distrust to love and deep caring.
On top of that, Ms. Day gives us a hefty dose of suspense as our characters
delve into the mystery surrounding Lord Hawthorne’s death and the danger that
currently threatens Elizabeth.
If you love sensual historical romances with suspenseful plots, you will not
want to miss either ASK FOR IT, or the rest of the stories in the
delicious THE GEORGIAN SERIES! |
