"“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"This is the book E L James wished she could have written. If 50 Shades disturbed feminists, I can't begin to imagine their reaction to this book. Trigger warning: It is about a dark fantasy, a carefully thought through and presented fantasy on the part of a woman who wishes to be taken by force and a man who wants to take a woman by force. So you can see why the feminists are going to be up and arms about it. Amazon will not allow me to use the actual word that the author uses.Thing is, back in the day, I understood "feminist" to mean a woman's right to choose to do and be whom ever she wanted to do and be. I committed to that definition and I am still committed to that definition many decades later. This definition has allowed women to explore many different aspects of life previously closed to them, including many aspects of sexuality. I remember reading what was possibly the first dark sexual fantasy novel that was published, Fear of Flying. The heroine fantasized all the way through that book about what she called a "zipless **** and yet when the moment came, she fought it off, terrified. Feminist hailed that book as a powerful statement of a woman taking ownership of her true self.Will they have the courage of their convictions to say the same thing of "Asking for It" because, in my opinion, this is a much better written. One of the reasons is because it is a complex story, not a series of accidents.Let me also state that I read this book with a certain amount of trepidation. I was sexually molested by a family member at around the same age as Our Heroine. As an adult, I was assaulted. So I know from first-hand experience. I feared flashbacks but I was curious. This author has clearly done research and homework.Let me start with why I only give it four stars. The writing is superlative and I really wanted to give it five stars except for the caricature nature of the characters in New Orleans. They are important people in the life of Our Heroine, but they are cardboard cutouts. The backstory is not developed enough. The crucial scene in the book, the one that causes Vivienne to develop her dark fantasy was not really believable to me. I really didn't understand why she would be so compliant. Nor did I understand how she was allowed to stay up so late with an older male non-family member in the first place.Other characters in the book are quite vivid. Everyone in Austin, TX is colorful. Even Austin is a character in this book. I've been to Austin and I do not have fond memories of it as I very severely sprained my left ankle there and was on crutches for three months. But now I want to go back and see those bats.While I am certain that feminists are going to scream " the R word" at the top of their lungs, I refuse to consider this to be a story about it. It is a story about two people agreeing to consensual sex in which they enact fantasies they discuss ahead of time. There is no abuse. Indeed, Our Hero goes a step beyond the agreement because after the fantasy is over he departs from the agreement to check on her well-being. What man who commits a sexual crime against a does that?This is a compelling story. I came to care about the characters. The relationship between Vivienne and her therapist, Doreen, was well done. There is a lot of sex, as one would imagine, but for a change it is not gratuitous as it is completely intrinsic to the plot and causes changes to the relationship between the main characters. One of the characters grows in the story. One of the characters stays firmly fixed in the place that character began. I wanted to slap that character up side the head, to tell you the truth.There is going to be a sequel released in September. I have already pre-ordered it. I am invested in Vivienne and Jonah.

    Intense and interesting
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 4, 2015*

I was completely riveted by this book the whole way through. For Vivienne, having fantasies of sexual coercion embarrasses her with endless shame, but it's what she wants more than anything and can't have it any other way. Jonah, a professor whom Vivienne meets one evening and incidentally crosses paths with again later, proposes an arrangement that allows them both to indulge in this fantasy. Jonah wants to be a participating partner just as much as Vivienne does. While they have shared a very intimate part of themselves when they engage in these acts, they shut the rest of themselves off to each other because love doesn't even factor into the equation. Keeping distance as strangers is what maintains this arrangement. It's simply about them acting out their deepest desires. Wow, the scenes of them acting out these performances portray just how realistic their role playing is in the moment, but it was hot, too. Jonah never intends to hurt Vivienne.There's some interesting points about this plot. For starters, is there something really wrong with Vivienne and Jonah to want this because they are both hard pressed to find other willing partners who would entertain such an idea? I never considered either of them to be abnormal or deranged in any way at all because they were consenting adults in every aspect. If anything, the fantasy only made me more curious about delving deeper into both of their psyches. They are both intelligent, professional people who have their own personal issues that empowers them when they do this act, they are just unaware of the other person's secrets. Vivienne actually sees a therapist, Doreen, and the scenes with Doreen are very insightful about Vivienne's character.The theme of duality is constantly in motion, Vivienne's complete trust and submission to Jonah's power and dominance. How Jonah is so forceful while in the moment, but very gentle and tender afterwards. They have no problems improvising in their roles, but struggle with basic conversation. The way they know something so deeply personal about one another that no one else knows, yet they know very little about the general things about the other. How Vivienne gives everything of herself except her heart and how Jonah demands complete submission but factors in safety and boundaries.Both Vivienne and Jonah captured my complete attention and tugged at my heart as more layers of themselves unraveled. Vivienne is very strong mentally, she is not whiny or overly demanding or dramatic at all, she has a real grace about her that is impossible not to be drawn into. She's also relatable and compassionate, she struggles a lot with her thoughts but is mature about confronting them, too. Jonah is very reserved and impassive overall, but puts in 100% effort at everything he does. He's not a jerk, but he's very masculine, direct and guarded. He doesn't cater to other people, but he will make slight concessions, especially for Vivienne. Control is very important to him, but not in an overbearing way, more like he values his privacy above all else.Trying to blend their fantasy world with reality winds up being more challenging than expected. Discovering more about each other personally as feelings slowly filter through begins to blur the lines of their roles vs their relationship. The complexity and depth of these characters is very well written. While the subject matter isn't necessarily for everyone, I would still suggest reading this unless there's a trigger because I was completely immersed in finding out how Vivienne and Jonah navigate outside of their role playing bubble and if they could both break out of their shells with one another. They are a very functional duo, but emotional communication doesn't come easy for them and knowing the truth about each other could be a game changer because of the impact. While it's impossible to compare whose past is more tragic or heartbreaking, I want to see them both liberated from those burdens. I am very anxious to read the next book.
