Beg For You has the trademark Sherilee Gray mix of heat and emotional trauma, with flawed characters who are the perfect match for each other.
Cal and Cassy both have the emotional and physical scars from an accident they were involved in 10 years ago. Brought together as a way of Cassy moving past her scars and taking control of her life which has been dominated by father and the blame he has placed on her shoulders.
There is a connection between Cassy and Cal from their first session at Cal’s tattoo parlor, Rocktown Ink. The chemistry between them is off the charts but there is also a deeper connection which can only be forged with someone who has experienced the same pain.
Both Cassy and Cal have a lot of emotional barriers resulting in a public persona they wear like armour in order to protect their very fragile hearts. Yet, they have a bond which enables them to see below the surface to the person they were always meant to be.
There is a lot going on in the plot with insight into the classist society that still exits today as well as the labels placed on people due to their family name, where they live and the way they look. Judgment and preconceived ideas as to a person’s worth are still very much in force. However, there are some surprises in store which challenge these shallow perceptions.
Although Cassy and Cal share a real connection the skeletons of the past soon come to light overshadowing the blossoming relationship between the couple.
My favourite part of Beg For You is the acceptance and admiration Cassy and Cal share for each other Everything happens for a reason whether it is fate or coincidence, Cassy and Cal belong together.

Cassy and Cal were perfect together!
He poured his pain into his art ~
She into her horses.
What an emotional and heartbreaking first in series.
The guilt, the lies, the facades...
They were from different worlds originally.
Both believing the stereotypes.
Both hiding their true selves behind false fronts.
Cassy's life was a lie. A facade created to appease her father.
Under the ice queen exterior, she was an innocent ~ lost and drowning in guilt. She had dreams, she loved wholeheartedly.
Cal was fighting each day battling his own demons. Emotional and physical scars ~ reminders of a night that forever changed his future.
Cassy was put in a pretty tough position ~ Someone(s) wanted something from her and had no qualms using one of the few things left in her world that held any value as leverage to get it.
Cal was still searching for peace. Unable to let go of the past. He wanted payment for the crimes against him.
Spencer just made me queasy.
Dad... well the man needs to get his priorities straight!
Bull and Dane?
I want their stories!
I enjoyed the dual perspectives. A bit of speculation(?) led to a bit of misdirection. I think that was the point though. We tend to judge first. I hope we get to know about how Spencer's family earned their place or lack of. I know it isn't really important but I am really curious about what his dad did.
There are a lot of little things scattered throughout the story line that brought the whole puzzle together.
All in all
This was one amazing ride

3.75 stars--BEG FOR YOU is the first instalment in Sherilee Gray’s contemporary, adult ROCKTOWN INK erotic romance series focusing on the Calero family who own and operate the tattoo shop Rocktown Ink. This is twenty-nine year old, tattoo artist and owner Joel ‘Cal’ Calero, and art gallery owner Cassandra Deighton’s story line.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Cassandra and Cal) BEG FOR YOU follows the enemies to lovers / opposites attract relationship between twenty six-year old art gallery owner Cassandra Deighton, and twenty-nine year old, tattoo artist Joel ‘Cal’ Calero. Ten years earlier Cal’s life was destroyed when an accident left him scarred, and the finger of guilt was pointed in his direction. Losing his family gave Cal thoughts of revenge, revenge he was about to impart using any means necessary. Enter Cassandra Deighton, a beautiful but badly scarred young woman looking to take back control of her life. What ensues is the building relationship between Cal and Cassandra, and the potential fall-out when the truth is revealed.
Cassandra had no idea her father was about to lose the family ranch. In an effort to save face, Cassandra is offered as ‘payment’ in return for saving the business and the Deighton family legacy. Cassie wants nothing to do with her father’s plans, plans that threaten all semblance of freedom for our story line heroine. Hoping to push the envelope, our heroine goes in search of someone with the ability to tattoo over her scars, scars burned into her flesh ten years earlier.
Joel ‘Cal’ Calero knew the moment Cassandra stepped into his shop, revenge was close at hand but Cal never expected to fall in love with the platinum blonde beauty, a woman he once thought of as an ice-cold and frigid. The relationship between Cal and Cassandra is predicted upon a lie, a lie of omission as Cal struggles with his attraction to the woman whose father he is hoping to destroy. Cal believes Cassandra is a spoiled princess, but Cassandra sees beyond Cal’s own scars and tattoos, sees the man with whom she will fall in love. Desperate for an escape to forget about life for a while, our heroine returns to Rocktown Ink for much more than her scheduled tattoo. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
We are introduced to Cal’s younger brother Dane, and their cousin Logan aka Bull; Cassandra’s grandmother, her father Lyall Deighton, their neighbour Spencer Livingston; as well as Cassanda’s friend Ted.
BEG FOR YOU is a story of betrayal, vengeance, secrets and lies; a story of grief and loss; of retribution and revelations. The premise is dramatic; the characters are broken and energetic; the romance is steamy, sexy and hot. BEG FOR YOU is a spicy, sensitive, and spirited introduction to Sherilee Gray’s ROCKTOWN INK world.

Rated 4.5 Stars
I devoured Beg For You in one sitting. It kept my attention from to start to finish. It's a naughty opposites attract that I simply adored. I loved this story and these characters and cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Beg For You is a spicey opposites attract love story between a good girl and the boy from the wrong side of the tracts. Their worlds are so far apart and yet the connection is instant. Cal struggles with wanting revenge against her father who caused a lot of damage to his family and just plain wanting Cassy for the beautiful woman she has become.
Cassy doesn't care that Cal isn't someone her father approves of. She is tired of living her life for him and longs to be selfish for once. When she meets Cal at the tattoo parlor, she only expected to want to cover the scars that cover her back, not to fall in love with the man who has scars of his own.
Cal was an easy hero to fall for. He's big, quiet and more honorable than he gives himself credit for. Cassy is one of the sweetest heroines. She could easily have been a snobby woman with her background but she lives more in guilt over her brother's car accident. Her father has used that guilt for years to keep tight control over her.
Despite the obstacles in their path, I really enjoyed this pairing. I like to see how far a hero will go to to keep the woman he loves. If Bull's story is next, I expect it will be just as delicious!
