Asking for It by Lilah Pace

challenging emotional reflective

4.0

Well-written, and handles the sensitive topic of sexual assault with care. 

The dynamic between the leads sparks hot and pulls you in, and the sex scenes are incredibly well crafted. But the constant waffling of the main character about whether or not she gets to enjoy the romance, while extremely understandable, becomes grating by halfway through the book. Even more tedious is her constantly wondering whether the man she's attracted to is secretly a reprehensible criminal just because he has the same kink she does.
