Day's Bared to You is Book One in a new series by the name of Crossfire. I would describe it as being Contemporary Erotic Fiction, meaning OH MY WORD it is HOT HOT HOT! Definitely not for the weak of heart, please be warned that this book is very sexually graphic. That being said, it is an excellent read! Not only does it have insanely hot scenes but beneath it all is a great story with memorable characters.
Eva has moved to New York from California to begin a new job at an advertising agency. Coming from a wealthy family, Eva wants to take care of herself without interference from her parents. Gideon Cross is a millionaire businessman who just happens to own Crossfire, the building Eva will work in. After a chance meeting after hours, Eva tries to fight the chemistry she has with Gideon, one of America's top bachelors. When fighting it becomes impossible, both must try to make their relationship work while preventing their past secrets from being exposed to the public eye.
Bared to You is definitely not a book your want to miss out on! It shows just why Sylvia Day is a National Bestselling Author with its realistic characters, entertaining and witty dialogue, and touching romance that sets readers on fire. I am already counting down the days until I can read more of Eva and Gideon in Deeper in You, the 2nd novel in this Crossfire series that comes out in October.
Sylvia Day and BookPleasures.com has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book, Bared to You, for the purpose of review.
Great review! I can't wait until October :))

Awesome review, I want to pick this up now! But I think I'll read Fifty Shades of Grey first as it's meant to be a 'copy' with better writing.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, Lauren you can't go wrong with Fifty Shades OR Bared to You! They are both great reads, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great book ;) I'm very tempted to read it now..

Bared To You is the story of Eva and Gideon (great name for him). The story is told from Eva's point of view and I only wish that I could have heard it from Gideon's also. They are both extremely attractive and are instantly drawn to each other, but neither is looking for a relationship. Eva has just moved from San Diego to New York with her roommate. It is when she goes to her office building for the first time, that she runs into Gideon, literally, and their lives are forever changed. They each struggle with their own internal demons, insecurities, and past hurts. Through the story, each tries to overcome their issues as well as help each other. I love that Sylvia Day wrote these characters as not perfect, they both unintentionally made mistakes that hurt the other but they tried to learn from them and build on their relationship. Sylvia Day shows that relationships are hard and they take work and compromise from each person involved. It is not always sunshine and flowers, but when two people are meant to be together, it can be amazing. And their story is absolutely amazing, so much more then I expected and I loved every second.
ReplyDeleteI'm sold! I do so enjoy a steamy novel every once in a while... now is the time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me at A Season for All Things. I'm your newest follower and look forward to finding more great reads!
Thanks for following Ellen! And I do believe you will love this book, there is lots of steam =)
DeleteHmmm. It sounds like Fifty Shades of Grey. Is it any different from it?
ReplyDeleteIt is similar to Fifty Shades in that they both have explicit sex scenes, but BTY is definitely it's own book! Eva, the female character is a very strong, independent character.
DeleteI couldn't put this book down I read it in one day!!!!!! I read Fifty Shades of Grey but loved Bared to You more!!!! I enjoyed the electricity between Gideon and Eva!!! I could almost feel what I was reading!!!! It was exceptional and now I cannot wait until October 2012 to read Deeper in You!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWasn't it fantastic!!!! I'm so excited for October to see where Gideon and Eva's relationship takes them!
DeleteGreat review and you actually managed to not mention the F title. (50 Shades).
ReplyDeleteRomance is not normally my bag, but I read 50 Shades out of curiosity about what the big deal was. Still not sure, I can't see 16 million women wanting to have their behinds beat till they can't sit down--so I am pretty sure it was not BDSM that drove the sales.
I was rather disappointed with FSOG and an internet friend recommended this book. Bared is a far superior book in my opinion. Eva was a much more interesting character than Ana--and no BDSM which I personally find revolting, the sex scenes were not copy and pasted, far hotter, better described, more varied, and not boring. Day is a much better writer.
The only unforgivable facet in this book, it didn't end.
I really liked your review, Candace. "Bared to You" was fabulous. I liked it so much, I've read it three times so far...just starting over again each time I finished it. I'm sure I'll read it again before part 2 is released. Gideon and Eva are amazingly written characters, as are all the others in this book. It was very easy to get swept up in the roller coaster ride of Gideon and Eva's relationship. I'm eagerly awaiting part 2 of the Crossfire series to find out where their relationship takes them.
