Has anyone else read this? Here is my review:
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I liked the book. Very similar to 50 Shades.


Lisa I've read this. It has a similar plot to 50 Shades, but much better written. I enjoyed this a lot more.

I think I would have liked it more if I hadn't already read 50 Shades. There were just too many similarities.

I agree with you Sheri...it would have been much better had i read it before fifty. i must say though that i much preferred the strength of the female in Bared. What do you think?

Definitely. Ana (50 Shades) got on my nerves a lot. First, I thought she was too 'innocent'-she's 21 and knows nothing about sex? Seriously, you don't have to have sex to know about it. Second she was too whiney.

Although I had issues with Eva (Bared), I liked her more. She was stronger, more stand her ground, less whiney.

Liza (lizamariereads) | 347 comments I found that this book was very similar to fifty shades and even used some of the same wording. However, I enjoyed it just as much as fifty shades and I liked that even though it was similar, it was also a different story when you look past the sex. Plus Eva was more independent which I liked. Even though she was in love with Gideon, she did not take crap from him like Ana did in fifty shades. Less clingy and stood her own ground.


Lanaia (marjetica) I finished Bared to You today and I loved it! I like how they had many issues. Although if it wasn't for sexual abuse theme, I don't think I'd like it that much, it gives the book a special depth. I liked Eva as a character, I think I can easily relate to her in some points, even her issues.
I haven't read 50 shades yet, but now I have to, even just to see the similarities, lol.

Lola Standish (beckycharlie90) | 10 comments I think I liked this book more than 50 shades.....It feels like it has a bit more depth! Eva was much more likable than Ana and there is definitively better characters throughout the book!
