This is the first book that I have read by Selena Blake and I really enjoyed it. It is a fun story with a good pace, great characters and secondary characters. JJ Fairchild is a sports journalist who also renovates houses for extra income. Trevor Wyatt was a successful NFL receiver who has retired after a tragic accident. JJ had interviewed him many times thru the years and they were both very attracted to each other but JJ did not want to be another notch on his post. Several years after his retirement they had a chance meeting that started their combustible romance. JJ is a very independant woman who works hard for her financial security. Trevor is a thoughtful, sweet man who loves to do small things to make JJ happy. They really are cute together and they make each other better even as they are working thru each of their insecurities. I really liked how the story is more than their sex life. It takes the time to develop their relationship and also shows their relationships with family and friends, who are all very interesting and fun to get to know. There is enough drama to keep it interesting but not anxty, this is a great contemporary adult romance. JJ was very young when her mom was left to raise her alone. She still remembers how poor they were and losing the only home she had ever had. Her mom remarries and she has a dad now who is wonderful to her. She also has 3 brothers, 2 older and one a few months younger. She is a tom boy through and through and pursues a journalism career in sports. Several times she is interviewing the hot young football star in the dressing room after a game. She is attracted to Trevor, but despite that and his many invitations out she never sees him socially. He is in a car wreck and his football career is over. He had saved most of his money and made many wise investments. JJ enjoys living in Atlanta with 3 best friends she gets together with weekly and they keep up on each other's lives, try new wines and blow off some steam. Trevor is living in NY. They have a chance meeting in NY and the attraction is explosive. They have a long distance relationship. When work takes her to NY they see each other and several times he hops a plane to Atlanta. They both have issues making their relationship difficult. She hates her current boss. She has written a novel with sports as the backdrop, yet can't tell her best friends or Trevor, for fear the book won't sell. When they all find out anyway, they are more supportive than she could imagine. She and Trevor have to make some changes or they have to break up. Things just can't go on the way they are. Can they both learn to ask for what they really want in and out of the bedroom?
What do You think about Ask For It (2013)?
I didn't feel it with this book. Little plot. Silly dialog. Slow....
