This is the first book in the Georgian series. I am not
sure if I will be able to review any more of this series, because my
library only has this book, and no stores close by me have any of the
others on shelf. Though if I am able I will grab the second book in
the series and do a review.
Elizabeth jilted Marcus years ago while engaged and now with her
husband murdered by highway robbery, she is back and he is taunting.
Her late husband, Marcus, and others work for a secret society almost
like our modern day FBI. Set in 1770, we are taken to a past without
modern medicine or advanced technology.
I love Elizabeth, she is a spitfire. She is confident until it
comes to Marcus, obviously. Ask For It was interesting and I
couldn't put it down. Day wrote this very well and I wouldn't mind
picking up a few other books by her. Normally I do not get into
anything that isn't either present based, or future based. Though
with this book I really liked the way that it flowed. I didn't get
bored with anything. I knew what small events were going to
happen-which I don't mind because they are small and if they didn't
happen things in the book wouldn't make sense. With a title like Ask
For It, and the summary given on the back, I almost thought that
this would be a little more racier then it was, but compared to some
other novels that some might have read, this wasn't as sex filled as
I expected. Which again isn't bad, there was more space for the plot.
I also loved the twists, just when I thought I knew who the bad guy
was, something came into play and then I suspected someone else.
*SPOILER-ALERT* Then when you finally know that the guy that is the
head of the secret service that Marcus works for is the bad guy, you
kind of suspected but at the same time doubted it until it was
reveled. *SPOILER-ENDED*
With only reading the summary on the back and nothing more,
readers have a slight clue as to what the plot is about. When
actually reading the book the plot is almost completely different.
Readers no nothing about Elizabeth's late husband, how and why Marcus
comes back into the picture, and a few other things. All you know
from reading the back is that Elizabeth jilted Marcus, went to
another guy, is now back and Marcus is ready to jump her bones still.
That's it. So from reading the back, and the title, and then
beginning to read you get two different pictures. I was a little
upset about this because, it is almost a false lead until you start
reading. Another thing that I didn't like was that all the action
took place within about 20 pages, and it was very quick. Everything
else was detailed just enough, and then the main problem is quick and
done. I wanted more action to happen then.
Despite the summary, and the actual content I did enjoy reading
this book. I would have loved a little more in the summary department
though. If this book and another book I wanted to buy were up for
sale side by side with the same price I would probably go for the
other book. I am not saying that I wouldn't buy this book I am
saying that I would buy it when I wanted a good past plotted book.

for the Game, A Passion for Him, and Don't Tempt Me all
