4.5STARS
Erotica Must Read!!
Genre: Romance Erotica
Setting: New York
"Yes, but I'm the only one suppose to be seeing, since i'm the only one who's allowed to be getting."- Gideon in Bared to You
Bared to You is a book about two people who were scarred from abuse in the past by someone and now after meeting eachother are falling in love. Gideon is 27 sexy as hell and filthy rich. And Eva is 24 smart and beautiful. Both have been through a sexual trauma as youngsters and this trauma deeply effects their new relationship.
Eva has just moved across the country from Cali to New York with her best friend Cary. She is about to start a new job at an Ad agency at Crossfire. The day before she is to start she decides to time her walk to her new job. After she reaches Crossfire she decides to go in but after she enters she stops to assist a young woman who has dropped her purse. When Eva looks up she looks into the eyes of the sexiest man she has ever seen Gideon Cross. Gideon knows right off the bat he wants Eva. The pursuit is on!
So I can not leave without saying yes i have heard the rumblings of how this book is being compared to Fifty. But i assure you Sylvia Day has done an excellent job with the plot and characters so much so that in my humble opinion it stands on its own. If you love Romance Erotica you will love this!
My Ratings

Writing- Favorable
Plot/Storyline- Good
Overall- Enjoyable/My preferred cup of tea
Now go forth and read. Then come tell us about it on Goodreads!

I enjoyed this Maria i think the Fifty comparison is only with the hero he is 27, rich, all ALPHA and suffered from some sort of sexual abuse trauma that hinders the relationship. But the storyline, the heroine and her best friend Cary keep this story on another playing field. I plan to continue with the series.

Lex i fely exactly the same way. I understand how people woud compare the two and i was scared at first because i loved the Fifty series, but this book does stand on its own. I enjoyed evry moment of the book and i wasnt upset with the ending. The only thing that bothers me is that i a m going to have to wait until October for the book. Sylvia Day if your reading feel free to use me as a test subject for the next book ... I do not mind reading an early copy lol.
Fantastic review Alexis :) I will definitely check this one out soon. The comparisons to FSOG are part of the reason I wasn't sure about this one but I am thinking I should give it a try. Thanks!

Great review Alexis. I think there is a misconception that she sort of copied 50 Shades when in fact she wrote her books at the same time before anything was published... what say you?

I agree..his age, the money, his status and his dominant ways are commonalities for the male character. Story line wise I see no similarities but that's just my humble opinion...
