I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily.Gideon knew. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was drawn to him as I'd never been to anything or anyone in my life. Our journey began in fire.Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness - beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white hot. Maybe the next in the series will delve into their problems and make them a more steady, complete couple.'Bared to You' by Sylvia Day is the first in the Crossfire trilogy featuring Gideon and Eva, two wounded souls who come together in an explosion of lust and passion as intoxicating as it is devastating - the perfect read for fans of bestselling erotic romance 'Fifty Shades of Grey' by E.L. Overall a decent read, and it had a lot of promise. Soo I will not analyze why I disliked parts of this book, because in a circumspect thought process, I was thinking about a totally different series and how I wish the next novel in THAT series was out so I could be reading that. I left this story, read a HANDS DOWN five star book, and I truly believe it made this less of a 4 or 5 star read for me. I can’t put a finger on why this wasn’t five stars, because when I first started reading I was hands down-“Oh this is better than Fifty Shades,” and “This is definitely 5 stars.”. I DID interrupt the story to read another book, so this in turn did interrupt the proceedings of the novel. I really don’t know why I became more disappointed toward the ending, and this is the part where I can’t be totally fair. So to the point: I did not mind the way Day ended up making the Dom/Sub relationship. I know when people start this book they like that aspect of erotica, but I guess that is the one thing about Fifty Shades I would liked there to have been less of.

So when Gideon eventually led into the “you’re submissive…”, I had to roll my eyes-maybe because I thought it wasn’t going to happen because most of the book was over when it did happen. I know, I know, when I started the book I expected it to be that way and when it wasn’t I really enjoyed it. I liked that Day didn’t make it totally BDSM. I didn’t even mind Magdelene, since she wasn’t such a beyotch near the ending.

Like I mentioned before, I did like the characters a lot. I actually was surprised at how interesting and well-written it was at first, and I really liked Gideona and Eva.īut some things bothered me the more I kept reading, but I will stay with the positives first: I do think it says something that I could so easily leave this book, though.

For one: I stopped in the middle of this book to start another book I REALLY wanted to read and could not wait to start.so that’s not really giving this book a fair trial.

There are a lot of factors that influenced my rating.
