Bared to You by Sylvia Day Book Review
If you are a female and love to read, chances are you have heard of the book Fifty Shades of Grey. And after you finish that book, you are feeling a bit let down. What is next? What book can compete with that? Well, I just read the next book you need to grab – BARED TO YOU by Sylvia Day.
Author Sylvia Day originally self-published BARED TO YOU as an eBook and a print-on-demand title. The buzz for Day’s erotically-charged novel began within days of the April 3 publication—reviewers across the internet compared the book favorably to Fifty Shades of Grey. It’s already been rated and reviewed over 4,300 times on Goodreads.com. BARED TO YOU is now a national bestseller, landing on both the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists.
BARED TO YOU is the first book in the Crossfire trilogy about the beautiful Eva Tramell and billionaire businessman Gideon Cross. The book finds Eva accepting her first job at an advertising firm located in a NYC skyscraper owned by Gideon. When she and Gideon first meet the chemistry is instantaneous and overwhelming. But both Eva and Gideon bear emotional scars and a healthy romantic relationship is foreign to them. The trilogy explores the intense physical and emotional relationship between these two complex characters.
Day is known for her romantic and deeply emotional novels and BARED TO YOU is no different. While Day explores the exciting and passionate physical relationship Eva and Gideon share, it is the emotional connection between the two that is so captivating. It is truly the book for fans of Fifty Shades of Grey to read next.
I received this book a few weeks ago but was unable to start reading it right away. So one evening, I picked up the book and started reading about 8:30. At 1 am, I finished. I seriously could not put this book down! The story grabs you right from the beginning. Eva is a character that you can relate to. She is young and pretty and she has her first big girl job in the city and then she sees this gorgeous man that just overwhelms her, literally. As the story progresses the heat coming off this book is amazing.
The story is full of hot, steamy, intense intimacy and they are both drawn to each other yet together they have a lot of emotional issues that gets in the way. You struggle right along with Eva and Gideon as they try and trust each other and learn to give in to love. I found myself cheering Eva on as she deal with Gideon’s other women and yet my heart was torn as she found out things that could tear them apart.
The author has left nothing to the imagination in this book and I was entranced with the story from page 1. I was sad when it ended. I am currently reading it again to get the full benefit of the storyline and trust me, I rarely have time to read books again but I am making an exception since I know I might have missed something reading it so quick the first time. My only issue is that I have to wait unto October to read the second book in this trilogy! Can I even wait that long? I just love a good romance story and Ms. Day sure knows how to write one!
If you love hot, steamy novels with complex characters, you have to grab this book! Perfect summer reading and I know you will love it!
