Sometimes life gives you a second chance at love.  Have you ever really seriously liked someone but when they asked you out you said no time and time again? Not because you didn't want to but because circumstances just weren't right. Yet you never forgot that person.  And what if years later the opportunity arose again; would you say yes this time? Just read this book to find out what JJ's answer to that question is for that is how "Ask For It" begins.This is a really sweet contemporary romance with a family theme. The main and supporting characters are very likeable and you soon become invested in all of them.  JJ and Trevor are the cutest sexy couple, they complement each other well and even though they never consummated any type of relationship in the past they thought of each other often and now in the present their fun begins. In real life things are never easy, we all have the ghosts of our past traumas that we bring with us to any relationship and sometimes there are outside forces to be contended with; JJ and Trevor do have theirs to deal with and they do so admirably and with much amusing banter and yes some tears.Trevor is strong, protective and such a sweetheart. JJ being a sports journalist is tough in her profession but when it comes to the personal she's rather shy and not as vocal as she could be though when it comes to family and those she cares about she is a very protective fighter.Trevor is so in tune with JJ's needs and teaches her how to ask for what she truly wants not just from him but in all things. He gives her what she needs to become confidant in the areas she wasn't. I found his understanding touching and the growth both characters exhibited perfect. Trevor isn't the only teacher in this book; JJ teaches Trevor the meaning of true loyalty and helps him to face his pains. The chemistry between the two was palpable. I loved that Selena Blake gave us alternating POV's.  This reader always likes to hear what each character is thinking.I really enjoyed this story, I laughed, I grinned, and I felt their troubles and rooted for the both of them to figure things out. Selena Blake did not disappoint this reader. I hope we get to see these characters again in the future.This is one of my favorite passages, Trevor's swoon-worthy thoughts that illustrate the flavor of this book: "She was a warrior goddess... who would have known? Fierce and loyal, he made a mental note never to get on her bad side. And man, did she have a way with words. Once again, she'd turned his upside down world right side up again. He leaned forward and cupped her cheeks. Staring back and forth into her eyes he knew without a doubt that he'd never love anyone the way he loved her."
