He wants to own her mind and soul, because she fulfills a broken part of him. What starts off as a temporary relationship turns into more for him. He will not let Eva go, not when he craves her deeply, when she accepts him – his past and all. He controls his reactions and feelings – and is abrupt with her – which she doesn’t take lightly. He has a dark past of his own, and often when the situation goes way too deep than he expects to, he shuts down on Eva.

He wants Eva badly, and because she won’t give in to him, he tries to compromise and understand where she is coming from. So, when he meets this vibrant girl, he needs to have her in his bed. Gideon is used to having a strong handle and control over his life – both business and personal. He is all of my favorite tropes I love in a hero. Dark, blunt, shrouded in mystery, and domineering, Gideon captured my heart. Honestly, I loved Gideon Cross from the moment he was introduced. There’s a new billionaire alpha male in town. Here’s my review trying to convince you why you need to read Bared to You, sprinkled with some sexy and emotional quotes that are just making me want to re-read it again. This was my first book by Sylvia Day and definitely not the last. It’s an enticing read of two broken characters, an emotional journey of them trying to beat their demons to come together, and their intense sexual chemistry – all laid right here in my review. It is an apt name for this book because it has the characters baring their secrets to one another (more on this below). Although I did read it because it was marketed as ‘similar to Fifty Shades of Grey’ (which was also one of my favorite books at the time), it is actually a mature version of that (if I had to compare them both).īared to You is the first book in the Crossfire series that had me completely hooked from page one when I read it for the first… second, and the fourth time. If there’s a billionaire romance that I will always recommend, it’s Bared to You by Sylvia Day. 1 New York Times bestselling author Sylvia Days blockbuster Crossfire novels follow the passionate, sexually-charged, and troubled relationship between.
