Publisher's summary

Nothing incites Marcus more than the primal hunger roused by his former fiancée, Elizabeth. It’s been years since she jilted him for another man, but that only means there’s a lot to catch up on, a lot to make up for, and that he’s going to enjoy every sweet moment.… The same drive and passion that sent her into another man’s arms is what brings Elizabeth back to Marcus. Her attraction to him is the one thing she fears, but she’s run out of options. Resisting is impossible. But does she have the courage to surrender everything?

Critic reviews

" Bared to You obliterates the competition…unique and unforgettable." (Joyfully Reviewed)

"The undisputed mistress of tender, erotic romance." (Teresa Medeiros)

"Plenty of sizzling passion and dangerous drama." ( Booklist)

A historical version of 50 shades, not as engaging

Any additional comments?

Great sex scenes but overall I had a hard time reading it for some reason. The story was not as engaging as I had hoped. I gave it a 3 star just for the romance scenes and although I like Justine Eyre, for some reason I did not like her as much in this book. It is worth the read if you get a lot out of the tumbles in the bed but otherwise a C-

Pride & Prejudice Meets 50 Shades of Grey

Would you consider the audio edition of Ask for It to be better than the print version?

The audio edition is better than the print version because of the narrator's accent and performance. The English accent helps to propel you back into time and gain a fuller experience of the book.

What other book might you compare Ask for It to and why?

Ask for it is a unique hybrid between Pride and Prejudice and 50 Shades of Grey. It takes all that we love about Pride and Prejudice and 50 shades of grey and intertwines them into a romantic mystery. It effectively combines Mr. Darcy and Christian Grey into Marcus and Elizabeth Bennett and Anastasia Steele into Lady Hawthorne, also Elizabeth. Ask for It takes the leap we all wished for in Pride and Prejudice which makes it that much more stunning.

What does Justine Eyre bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Justine Eyre brings to the book her accent which you would not be able to experience in just reading the book. It takes you back in time so you can actually feel the characters.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The book had several great moments and was the ultimate search for oneself and the love that once was.

Pleasantly surprised!

Would you consider the audio edition of Ask for It to be better than the print version?

Loved the audio...I have not read a print version.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I loved Marcus and Elisabeth as a couple but if I had to pick one it would be Elisabeth for
her feisty nature and strong will!

What does Justine Eyre bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

A beautiful, soulful voice that brought this book to life!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Spice in the 1700's!

Any additional comments?

I resisted this series for as long as I could and was pleasantly surprised, it was a beautiful
love story with a little action and suspense, I will continue on....

Great Story, Excellent Performance!

It took me a chapter or so to settle into this book. The characters are many and complex, but the narrator does a wonderful job of differentiating the voices. The plot is well-paced and the love scenes are so steamy that it’s difficult to drive safely while listening to them!

Sylvia and Justine

I loved this book and having Justine E. read it was inspired. An absolute audio delight

next book please

great storyline and characters. narrator gave characters personality lessening was great fun couldn't stop. plot twists were great never expected.

NO is not an option...

I love Justine Eyre and have enjoyed her narration on other books. This one has to be by far my favorite. Every woman needs a Marcus Ashford even if it's only for one evening. Definitely worth every penny!

I'm off to London

If you could sum up Ask for It in three words, what would they be?

Old Old school

What did you like best about this story?

The story was good, I liked the plot, and the characters.

What does Justine Eyre bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The accents were good and I generally don't like books with accents bec/ they tend to be bad. This narrator did a really good job w/ male and female voices.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Marcus confesses his love for Elizabeth. i thought FINALLY!!!!

Any additional comments?

Great narration!!!

"Ask for It" - BORING!!!!!

Would you recommend Ask for It to your friends? Why or why not?

I would not recommend this book to anyone.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

Characters with some personalities, and a story with some suspense.

Loving all that is Sylvia Day

What did you love best about Ask for It?

I'm a huge fan of historical romance novels and this one certainly didn't dissapoint. Sylvia's sex scenes aren't the best but the storyline definitely makes up for that. It was exciting with plenty of twists and turns. Marcus' character is endearing and I found myself falling for his entire family.

What did you like best about this story?

Elizabeth is my favorite part of the story. She's a very powerful character, not your typical damsel in distress.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration was mediocre. I've listened to books read by Justine in the past and I find her voice both pleasing and irritating at the same time. Almost like it's fake. You can rarely tell the difference between characters which really drives me nuts.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No I did not. It was exciting at times but overall nothing extreme.
