Bared to You by Sylvia Day Book Summary
“Full of emotional angst, scorching love scenes, and a compelling storyline.”—Dear Author
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness…
He was beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot. I was drawn to him as I’d never been to anything or anyone in my life. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily…
Gideon knew. He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other’s most private wounds…and desires.
The bonds of his love transformed me, even as i prayed that the torment of our pasts didn't tear us apart...

Wow. I’ve read some of the reviews on here and I have to say I disagree completely with any negative reviews. The relationship does have it’s dark parts, but it’s part of their character growth. The characters grow so much together and on their on in this series. It hits deep issues but still, remains sexy and intriguing. I couldn’t let the book go, I’ve read the series multiple times and always enjoy it.
Sigh. Dude’s name is Gideon and all I can imagine is the country fox from Zootopia.
A solid read. This book is VERY similar to Fifty Shades… it’s almost sickening. It’s not bad, but the story isn’t original. It a solid read.
Couldn’t put it down!. Al the feels and wants and desires
Love the whole saga. This book had me on the edge of my seat could not put it down until I finish the book
Love it!. Great read. I was captivated throughout the book.
Good read but repetitive.. In the beginning I couldn't put this book down. I loved reading every word. But as chapters went by it became too repetitive. He upsets her=she runs=he explains his way out=mild blowing sex=repeat. It was well written in the way it keeps you reading but I almost decided not to finish because it was too predictable in the cycle of their relationship.
Better than fifty shades. So this book was absolutely better than fifty shades of grey. It is however very intense & some would even say a little bit toxic. But with that it’s very entertaining & consuming, you can’t help but root for them & want them to be together to work things out. I didn’t see the issues with them being what they were & it’s a pretty hard thing to tackle sexual abuse but I think this author does a good job at that. I don’t have anything bad to say about book 1.. onto number 2..
Fantastic!!!. This book started a bit slow, but after the initial introduction of Gideon and Eva I was hooked. I lost myself completely in their story and can’t wait to read the next book
LOVED THIS WHOLE SERIES. Sylvia Day has done an amazing job in this series! Even as I write this I feel like that's an understatement. Gideon and Eva's love for one another and their independent lives continually collide and crash in pure emotional suspense. I literally couldn't put them down! This is a once in a lifetime love story that is wrapped up in some pretty detrimental life altering circumstances. I found myself constantly flipping to the next page and rooting for "GidEva" through the entire series!
Struggling to read. Struggling with the story line. Too fast with not much of a plot.
Amazing!!. I read this book within 12 hours. I couldn’t put it down.
Toxic.. Can we not have 1 page where they don’t talk about their issues? Like isn’t this supposed to be a love story? I can’t believe how unhealthy this relationship is. This is abuse.
Bared to you. Sylvia Day is one of my favorite romance/erotic writers. Crossfire series is hands 5 stars+. Will always a series that I will read again and again.
Amazing. The story is wonderful!
Depression. What am I suppose to do with my life after the Crossfire trilogy? These books are AMAZING. Blows fifty shades out of the water... great read!
AMAZING!. Omg I'm obsessed with this story! I can't get enough!! LOVE IT!!
This Book Is On Fire. My aunt recommended the book to me in Jan and I was instantly hooked on it, finishing in 4 hours. It was that good! I love the main characters. So intense and raw. On my way to read the second one!
My favorite series in book form. Gideon and Eva are a dream together. Id go wherever they would take me. Its a must read
Terrible copy of fifty shades!!. Total disappointment! Don’t waste money on this book!!
What did I just read …. SOO I’m concerned for the women that found this enjoyable. I felt very much like this is the most red flag book ever. Women should cringe at those triggers . If you didn’t I recommend a therapist because this was a train wreck I couldn’t put down . I’m glad it’s over tho . Cuz I was questioning my self why am I still reading this . Character development was barely there . Story line .mid . Favorite part was the spicy scenes that’s y I gave it a 2 instead of a one .star. I’m hoping this book is used as a way to pinpoint red flags and triggers and a way for discussion about toxic relationship since we are looking at it from an outside perspective. Since some ppl can probably relate to these characters and hopefully can recognize some issues
Bared to you. Loved it ❤️❤️❤️❤️👅😍😍😍
Similarities. If you loved the Fifty Shades of Grey saga, you'll enjoy these 5 books.
Beautifully Messy. Don’t let the title fool you. I loved this series so much I read it twice. Day’s attention to detail is perfect. The story flows so well from day to day and the sex scenes were HOT. Very well written, no typos, poor grammar, the story made you feel apart of the characters world. Beautiful. Their lives, Messy. This story pulls you in and hooks you.
Perfection. I loved it! Well written
Whoa. This was an incredibly uncomfortable car wreck that you just can’t stop staring at. Wow do they both have some serious serious issues, that are really uncomfortable. I’m not sure I want to keep reading. But of course it left so many things unfinished. Annoying.
Gideon and Eva. Hot...but triggering and toxic. I really enjoyed Gideon and Eva’s characters and their fight for one another. However, the book could probably have ended 3/4s of the way through chapter 16 (just add in a Happily-Ever-After Epilogue). Alas, you’re left with not much of a happy ending and the knowing that you most likely have to wade through four more books of insecure and toxic ping-pong to get to another unsatisfying result. From the other books’ synopsizes I can tell this is where I should stop —reading any more books in this series will likely end in the same—needing an Advil and a better Happily Ever After.
Wooowza. This book is about love and heartbreak. With a twist of lust. 50 shades was good but Eva and Gideon’s story is a true page turner.
Love. Completely in love. I wish I could read this for the first time again.
Wow. I love this series so much!! I read all of them 5 times, it’s just such a great story and I wish I had a Gideon Cross in my life😘
What? Sex then argument then therapy then repeat. What terrible people. Heated scenes and constant long drawn out conversations talking through their issues over and over again.....
Makes 50 SOG seem like an off brand!. The crossfire series are delicious! I find myself putting off important stuff to keep reading. Never gets boring, filled with passion and romance and sexy scenes but also has an amazing story!
Classic. Best series EVER!
Loved it!!!. This is one of my favorites!!!
Favorite Series. Intelligent and well written, this book starts the series off with a bang. Gideon and Eva have to fight for their relationship at every turn. You can’t help but root for them as they struggle to find peace.
Kept my attention. It was an easy read and fun to read. I like the 50 shades vibes. The characters could be a bit more dynamic, we don’t go into much detail about what makes them unique other than physical descriptions and why the two main characters like each other. She asks him to tell her what he likes about her and he never really gave her any good feedback. Makes their relationship slightly less believable.
🔥🔥. This book had me on edge, easy to read and entertaining. Highly recommend
I adore this series!. It’s full of love and angst and plain good old fashioned drama. All set in NYC which I love!
Great book. Although quite similar to the 50 shades series, this book is very very good. It’s similar but just borderline enough that it’s not alike. Very different visuals but some things are the same. Overall a great love story with vivid wording that really gives the full effect of the book. Didn’t care for how fast the writer moved on in certain situations without really getting into the anger during arguments but I’m still going to give this 5 stars. I absolutely loved it. Very hard second place after 50 shades!
My favorite book series. If there ever a book that I wish were a movie or mini series, would be this story. The sex and flare keep you hot and wanting, but the rawness of the storyline makes this so much more. Unlike 50 shades, which in my opinion is a bit too unrealistic (virgin girl without a trouble in the world, lands a billionaire BDSM with a troubled past), this story takes two souls, regardless of wealth stature (although it is present and helpful) ravaged by pain and betrayal that only the other can acknowledge, feel, and ultimately heal. To think that it’s possible if two people could feel that deeply and raw about each other would be amazing. Love this series, please make a movie. I would never stop watching it!
Holy Cow!. Wow. I am impressed by this hot, profoundly felt love story. Sylvia Day's characters and writing are next level. I am canceling my plans so I can read book #2. Heartfelt and Hot - a winning combination.
WARNING! Book contains scenes of sexual trauma. For victims of sexual trauma, such as myself, I appreciate when books warn of this before hand with some type of disclosure or something in the description (this one did not).This book has a very heavy focus on sexual trauma (such as rape) and can be very difficult for some to read. Proceed with caution.
Bared to you. Nice read loved the characters. Super steamy and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Crossfire Seris. This is the best book series Eeeevvvveeeerrr!!!
Just.... Jumpy plot. Terrible character. Bad story.
Great writing!. Loved the book! Couldn’t put it down. I do agree with some of the assessments of her being immature. But I kept reminding myself that they are only in their twenties. If you looking for a book you can fully immerse yourself in and binge read..this is it!
Best series ever!. I’ve already finished the series so I thought I’d review the 1st book since I hadn’t. I’m obsessed with these characters, they fight hard but love harder , ugh so good!
Interesting book. I liked it more than Fifty Shades. It seemed more realistic to me, and it has way more drama. Plus, I really like Eva's personality.
Addicting. I lost count, I definitely love this book. As a matter of fact, I love the complete trilogy. Can't wait when it becomes a movie. Maybe on cable, Starz or Encore!!! 😁
Bared To You. Bared To You - 8.5/10: This book was good, I don’t really know how to explain this book. This book is mostly a commitment romance book. You’ll have different emotions in this book ( Shocked, good irritated, happy, loved, etc ) This book gone make you fall in love with the Characters - mainly Gideon, because he was so sweet and loving. Eva was sweet and loving too but she just pushes/starts arguments with her significant other- Gideon. I recommend this book to whoever likes commitment Romance, toxic romance, heartfelt romance, friendship drama/new beginning, dominance romance and work boss romance…

5 star. Great book
Disappointing. The book is just ok but, not as good as fifty shades of Grey
Another good book. I have read this book in about three to four days. It was another great book for me to read, I have read fifty shades of grey twice, when read this book I was like wow, now I have finished reading it and now knowing there are two more books coming out I can't wait to get my hands on them to read. The author has become another favorite of mine, I am so looking forward to reading her books, I will be letting all my friends to get theses books.
Bared to you. I enjoyed the story line and can't wait for the next book in the series. The ending left me wanting more.
Comparable to 50. Great characters & wrote In the same style as 50 shades. Purchasing the second book now.
Bared to you. Very iffy it had too many scenes that felt like Shades of Grey. But couldn't get me to fall in love with the main characters. Just could connect with them. Some passionate sex but not a gripping story
Amazing. Couldn't stop reading!
Bared to You. Great book - looking forward to the sequel...
Hot cross!!!!. After reading the fifty shades series..... Really enjoyed this book and can't wait for the next one..... Please don't make us wait long.
Good but not fifty shades good. If you haven't read fifty shades then you will enjoy this book. But if u read fifty shades, you will find u enjoyed fifty shared better
Loved it. I really liked this book, very saucy and looking forward the the next one. So much still to be revealed!
loved it. loved it !!! seriously its really good !!
Bared to you. It you loved fifty shades of grey, you haven't read Bared to you. All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!
Great story...fun read!!. This story of Gideon and Eva, is very graphic with the sex scenes, however, I loved it. It's a great fantasy/love story....a very fun series!! I don't want it to end and anxiously await the next book!
Bared to You. Suspiciously and extremely similar to the 50 shades of Grey series. Hence disappointing having read that series - morbid curiosity- like the inability to take your eyes off a car crash. The book is merely porn and discussions between the characters of their challenging relationship. Nothing more!
Disappointed for the moment bey I paid!!!. The book although good at some points , I found it wasn't long enough for what I paid. 50 shades was at least worth the money at $30 for the set and also way longer.
Amazing. No words can say how much I enjoyed this book, I won't even compare it to fifty shades of grey because this book is extensively better.
Okay read. Having read the 50 shades series first and looking for another fix, I was recommended this book. I put it down a few times frustrated on the fact that I felt so many things were taken right out of 50 shades. Too many similarities too list. I didn't really feel the character or the reason behind the connection o the character as I did in 50 shades. I overall would recommend this book and thought it was a good read but not as good as 50 shades. The second book in this series, reflected in you is a great read and I can't not wait for the third book.?
nothing like 50 Shades. I lost some self respect aftervreading this book. The characters are not well formed, sexscenes too explicit. If you are looking for erotica over romance, this is your book.
Bared to you. Disappointed is really all I can say to describe the novel....oh, and maybe a waste of money. Couldn't wait to finish it and as another reader commented, just skipped over most of the erotica hoping for the plot to improve. Not even in the same ball park of Fifty Shades.
Bared to you. This was a total 50 shades rip off but not as exciting.
Very good read. Loved this book. Anxious for the next one to come out. I have read the 50 shades trilogy. And this books is very very similar to that, but I honestly enjoyed this one a little more (not as much spelling and grammatical errors) However being that the first book is similar maybe Sylvia day has a trick up her sleeve to add some unforeseen twist
Bared to You. I loved the book, held my interest the whole way through, but hate how it ended....the whole series should have been introduced all at once, now I have to wait until the next book...Deeper into You is released....which I'm not a patient waiter....so please release it soon....thanks
Much Better. I've read this as well as FSOG and liked this one much better. The characters, development of them and writing is more mature in this book. I honestly skipped through a lot of the sex scenes in FSOG, it was redundant after a while. Can't wait to read the next one.
Very crappy. A poor version of fifty shades. Don't waste your time nor money on this book!
Amazing!!!. Loved the hole series. However, it doesn’t feel the story is done. Maybe one more book coming soon?
Good one!. A million times better then the 50 shades series!!! I enjoyed the characters and over all story very much. A bit cheesy here and there but hey...its a romance novel. I love the relationship between all the characters and the fact that I can relate to many of them. Bravo Sylvia Day!
Riding the coat tails of 50 shades. disappointing - cannot compare to 50 shades other than lots of sex and a safeword.. really???
Not a fan... I felt this book was too much of a 50 Shades rip off. I didn't find the characters interesting at all, and really feel that this book lacked originality. I think the potential was there for it to be a great book, but again, it was way too similar to the 50 Shades series.
Perfect!. Thank you Sylvia, the Crossfire series changed my life ❤️
Awesome!. This book was great! I'm not happy with the ending, it doesn't feel over... But There is a second one. I see how this is kind of like the "grey trilogies" but I also find it completely different. It's a great erotic romance :)
Bared to You = Pure Enjoyment. Was looking for something along the lines of Fifty Shades of Grey and this was recommended to me. Well I must say that I LOVED LOVED LOVED it. A must read. Looking forward to the next two in the series. Can't wait.
Very disapointed. After reading 50 shades of grey I was looking from something just as addictive. I have to admit i was not impressed by this book at all. It copy's 50 shades to much to my taste. I find the story quite dull. It is well written but is missing something i did not hang on to each word and was not eager to finish it. It did not have me wondering. If you've experienced 50shades don't waste your money on this book.
Not Fifty Shades but a great read :). I really enjoyed Fifty Shades it had lots of kinkery sex but this book had more of a story to me. Gideon and Eva have a past and I enjoyed how Sylvia took us through there past and present. It has lots of sex but a story line. I couldn't put it down and eagerly wait for Reflected to You.
Very good. Not as good as fifty shades but still Worth the read
Bared to you. This is a sad imitation of fifty shades of gray. There are many similarities that makes it a knock off from the gray series. The characters are much better developed in fifty shades and one is much more able to identify with their vulnerabilities versus this novel. Very disappointing.
Bare to you. Captivating couldn't put it down. Can't wait to read the next one. Mini series would be awesome. 👍👍
Awesome book!!!. Loved this book can't wait for other books!!!!
Entertaining Reas. I enjoyed the Character development in this novel (far more than 50 Shades of Grey). There is more substance to these characters. However, I do find Eva's coping mechanism with stressful issues & events of running away becomes annoying after a while. There is only so many times a person will chase after you! It gets annoying & repetitive. Issue arises = Eva running away = Cross running after = sex. I hope the 2nd book will be a little less repetitive. Nevertheless, it's an entertaining read.
Amazing. Love this story! Couldn’t put it down!
Okay. Read this after reading the 50 shades trilogy. It was similar but I felt that Christian and Ana are easier to relate to and easier to fall in love with. I felt the characters were better developed in 50 shades. Will probably still continue reading, but definitely not as good as 50 shades.
copycat. I hate this book, waste of my time and money. copy CAT of 50 Shades and others....
Not worth reading. Fifty shades was a million times better. This book sucked in comparison.
Awesome. Can't wait to read part 2
OMG! I can't believe!. This book is a waste of money.. So similar with FSOG even the storyline.. Why will they write something with the same story & without better execution.. Uggghhhhhh! I can't believe!
So much better than 50 Shades of Grey!!!!!!!!. So, so good! If you liked 50 Shades, you'll LOVE this book. It's a better written book with more fully developed characters...read it in a day! Heroine is flawed but strong, hero is dominant yet yielding. Can't wait for the following 2 books!!!
50 Shades Knock-off. This book was almost an exact replica of fifty shades accept Christian was much more alluring than I found Gideon. Honestly if you are thirsting for more fifty shades just re read them and save your money!
Cross > Grey. I enjoyed this book a lot. I thought it was better written that fifty shades but equally exciting. I prefer this story line over Greys. Cross is definitely more appealing to me. Good read after fifty. However you'll catch yourself comparing them a lot and thinking its a rip off. I find it a better story. Give it a chance. You can't dwell on Grey for long.
Bared to you ~ by: Sylvia Day. Great intense love story with two very strong personalities !
Wow.. I really enjoyed this book, I read it beginning to end from purchase. I couldn't pry myself away from it, it kept me interested from cover to cover. Truly a great story line and thinking about Gideon leaves you wanting more! Can't wait for the second novel to come out!

A Crossfire Novel. I absolutely love the love story between Gideon and Eva. All 4 books are well written and I preordered the 5th book. I can't put the books down! Sylvia Day is my new favorite author.
Awesome read!!!. Skillfully written. Ten-folds better than 50 shades!
This series is written perfection.. I cannot count how many times I've read each book in this series. Each book is fantastically written and flows smoothly into the next novel. The characters are solid and ooze conflict and romance. Must read book and series. It's not too hardcore, but it's definitely not soft either. It's just right - perfect.
Crossfire. These books are good, not great. I love to read and they all have a great story line. Sylvia Day has taken all my money because the series makes you want to know what is going to happen.
The best romantic hot sexy love story!!!. I fell in love with this book!! I could not put it down the story was so enthralling! The author caught me from page one. I wanted to see how it ended but I was sad when I finished the book I loved it so much. Gideon is a dominant man with the most loving sexy hot side to him. Eva was his perfect match. I am so glad this book shows a dominant man that isn't beating and demeaning his partner. The story made me cheer their love on. I am buying all 4 books to this series and preordered book 5. I don't know how I can wait until April for book 5 though. I could keep reading about Gideon and Eva and Cary for many more books. I will read all this authors books.
Bared To You. Not worth the $9.99 I paid. Very disappointing writing.
Sad to see it end, but beautifully done!. I love the final book in this series. After reading FSOG, I found this series. It's written so well, a true love story. The storyline is hot and the sex scene are steamy. Thank you for such a fantastic series. Thank you for the twist and turns. Thank you for allowing them to gradually evolve. The story builds and so does the obsession with these books. Bravo!
Bared To You review. As an author myself, I would first like to say, I command Sylvia for writing a story she felt connected to. I don't understand why so many people are bashing her story because if you read the acknowledgment in the beginning, she thanked E.L James so obviously this story was inspired from 50 Shades. I just wished Sylvia changed the plot a little bit because it was in fact identical to 50 shades, but nonetheless this was her story. so I won't say I wasted my money buying this book. I would actually recommend anyone to read it because it is actually great writing. I preferably enjoyed fifty shades of grey better because it was a very compelling story and the love between Christian & Ana is captivating. I felt like I knew them from reading because their characters developed as the story prolongs. unfortunately, with Bared into you, I did not feel that connection with Gideon and Eva. I do believe they are in love and it was portrayed really articulately- I actually admire Eva story because I think it can help anyone who's been through the same situation, but I just think for Eva, who has been through an abuse as severe as it was written, her sudden and almost attraction pull for Gideon was completely unnerving and quite frankly unbelievable. it was too fast. I didn't feel like she gave me a chance to enjoy the experience of the characters to fall for each other. Also, I don't know if anyone else felt this way, but for some odd reason I can't put a face on Eva. I know she's blond, but I just can't picture her- I felt her character was sort of missing the information. (though, sorry to admit- I do like her better than Ana) But half of the time, I was trying to figure out why were they so emotional and angry all the time. it seemed forced. it's not a boring book. it's very well written and I'm actually looking forward to seeing what else the story unfolds- I'm hoping it takes a different route from 50 shades. I personally think everyone should read it and see for themselves. it's not as bad as the reviews I've been reading.
Amazing. The book to read after FiFty Shades!!!!!!
Amazing!!!. I love this series! I love everything about it! I have read them at lead 4 times and am doing so now again! They are a tish better than 50 shades, better written and a little more believable! Love it!!!!
New Fan. Yes I am a fifty shades fan, please do not make the mistake that other reviews have done by trying to compare the two books for the same feel. This book is an erotic love story the main characters Gideon and Eva both have there issues totally different from fifty shades. While the initial setting can appear similar (meeting in the office building etc....) the story line is completely different this women is more mature just getting started the male also a man of great wealth with issues. I loved the book the book finished in one night Eva is crazy I felt like I was in the moments of Eva craziness. You won't be sorry for the read.
Really... Why raise price so high?!. Completely ridiculous pricing on Ebooks. How was this $2.99 last week but didn't allow for download and now it's $9.99. How can people charge this for an Ebook when you can get a paperback for the same price?
Um. Im not understanding how people are saying this is better than 50 shades when it's the same crap writing. Need something with a tad more originality
Eva and Gideon. This was my first read after the fifty shades trilogy, and I will honestly say that I really enjoyed Eva and Gideon's story. It was refreshing to get acquainted with new personalities and the new DRAMA. The drama was so thick you could cut it with a knife, but I loved every page of it. I can't wait to see how their story ends, hopefully it remains a romance and not turn into a tragedy.
So far, so good. Just finished the first book and I just wanted to say that this book is so different in so many levels, to be truthful I was expecting another 50 shades of Grey, but no I loved that both characters have demons of their own I'm looking forward to reading the second book right now
Story dragged. The story I felt dragged. Nice enough but not really worth the hype.
Pretty good!!!. This story line I found interesting. A little Different hook to it but it's still a thrilling read for the open adult minded.
Just captivating. Be prepared to be swooped up, yet again, by a controlling, filthy rich entrepreneur. Definitely a must read after 50 shades!
Hot. Worth it. Buy.. Very different from FSOG and I am happy about that. It's a great read! I am so glad it is a trilogy.
Good Read. It never fails...girl gets job and meets and gorgeous CEO and her world is turned upside down. Good read and enjoyable book. Eva and Cross have a passionate addiction to one another. Love that is very intense.
Loved! But can't continue :(. I loved this first book. I have been trying to buy the second one for about a week and keep getting the same message: "This item is currently being modified. Please try again later." Really disappointed and hope this gets fixed soon!
No Fifty- but still good.. I LOVED Fifty Shades so I thought this would be a good read to keep me occupied. It is very similar to Fifty, but still has a different twist too it. I read all 4 books within a week, it was a pretty easy read. I really do like it but there is something about the book that still doesn't sit right with me. I haven't decided if the male lead is just plain obsessive and possessive or if it actually is true love. This book definitely makes Fifty Shades look like a kids books with all the sex scenes. After a while I had to skip over some of the parts because it's just so constant and a little more harsh with the verbiage. But overall pretty good book and I'm looking forward for the 5th one to come out.
Bad. No originality! A very poor and vulgar attempt at a story like Fifty Shades of Grey.
Boring. Does not compare even remotely with Fifty shades of gray! Such a boring book.
Bared to You. I googled what to read after 50 Shades & this book was at the top of the list. One of the reviews mentioned it was better than 50 Shades & had a better plot. After finishing it, I was aggravated. Better plot how? It was as though the writer dissected 50 Shades & attempted to rewrite it with more time spent on how to recreate a storyline enough NOT to plagiarize. The book simply ended, period! I understand the writer wants to split the story line for profit, but I'm so irritated, I'm moving on to another series. Gideon Cross was another name for the character of Christian Grey. Both loaded, both emotionally unattached prior to the female character, both controlling, jealous, possessive, dominants requiring their lover to be submissive, both in need of psychiatric help & both saved by the leading lady with which they cannot live without and rather loose their entire wealth than the loss of their loves. Wish I would have had a movie marathon on Netflix than waste my time.
So fun to read!. This is not just like 50 in my opinion. Yes there is a lot of sex, but I knew that before I bought it! I felt the story was much better than 50 shades. No, you don't know a lot about the characters after the first book. It's a series that you will have to read in its entirety to get to know the characters. I really enjoyed these characters more than I thought I would. I liked that they both had issues they needed to overcome, and I didn't find the female character to be weak. If you're expecting an awe inspiring read you should probably search for a book outside of erotic romance, but for a book of this type, I thought it was a fun read! Can't wait to read the last one when it comes out!
Not like 50 shades, but still excellent. I read some bad reviews that its a rip off of 50 shades or a cheap version of 50 shades. Buts its not a whole like 50 shades, there's not really bdsm in this book, just a lot of hot sex!! And very troubled past!! I stayed up till 5 in the morning and read it all! Loved it!!
Loved the book !. I'm not a very good reviewer. But all I can say is this book is ADDICTING & BEAUTIFUL, FUNNY & MOST OF ALL LOVING.
A complete knock-off. This is a cheap knock off of Fifty Shades of Grey. There is no originality or substance to the story. Leaves the reader with an ugly nauseous feeling rather than relaxed and romantic.
Absolutely horrible writing. I felt like I was reading some adolescent novel. Didn't make it after page 157. I bought the book because Most of the reviews were saying that this was a great way to get your FSOG withdrawal fix.... You were all wrong. What a waste of $8
Best series ever. In love just waiting for the rest of the series to come out 💕
Rip off.. This book is a complete knock off of Fifty Shades that lacked a connection with the characters and has way too much going on.
Can't put it down. This runs along the lines of 50, but in it's own way. Great story line. There's 3 books out but the 4th and 5th are due out sometime this yr👏
Pretty good book. So far this book has my attention, hope the second is just as good and the reviews for the third are all wrong.
An honest review that I'm sure not everyone will agree with. I bare it all to you.. He was beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot. I was drawn to him as I'd never been to anything or anyone in my life. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily... Eva works in the same building as Gideon and literally bumps into him at the elevator. Gideon is quite forward in his approach with Eva. Physical beautiful is not as important as what is in the inside. Eva is a shallow character by constantly stating how she cannot deny Gideon. Gideon knew. He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other's most private worlds...and desires. We never find out what trounces Gideon. All we understand is jus has nightmares. The bonds of his love transformed me, even as I prayed that the torment of our pasts didn't tear us apart... Eva speculates the situations with Gideon with too much drama. She jumps to unnecessary conclusions without clarification. These sex scenes become so robot having read them over and over again. No originality. Authors continue to harbor the same patterns in the bedroom. It's time to skip through the sex scenes which leaves virtually very little appealing storyline. So quick to judge and speculate. Let's run and pout instead of face the situation head on. She even has her own bedroom to run and pout in. It sickens me that Eva uses sex as a weapon for forgiveness. Way too many pages about sex. If you remove these sex scenes you won't be left with much of a story. Every situation with Eva is faced with insecurity and lack of trust. She jumps to conclusions. She has these preconceived ideas about every tiny detail with Gideon. These characters are toxic and I can't wait to rid the toxins. I felt unattached to these characters and I'm proud to say that. I would never want to be anything like these characters.
Loved it!. Christian, make room for Gideon!
AMAZING!!!. I LOVED fifty shades but this book...this book is amazing!!! Trust me! Just try it and I promise you will be hooked!
Smoking. Better than 50 Shades!
Crossfire series. Awesome series! Couldn't put it down!
Unique, yet perfect. Amazing love story i look forward to reading the other series 😊 I think I'm in love with Cross 😃 😍great read
Can't put down. This is a book you will read for hours on end not realizing how long you've been lost it the pages!
Nice!. It's nice to read an erotica where a woman is hungry to give a man pleasure: so rare these days.
Close. I bought this thinking it would be close to 50 shades of grey. I have to say, some parts were similar, others not so much. I found that the relationship between Eva and Gideon moves very fast compared to Christian and Anastasia. Saying that, I did like this book and I recommend it. Just don't go in thinking of Christian and Ana. you'll set yourself up for disappointment.
I ❤️💚💜💙 the crossfire series.. I love all four books to this series, I'm excited i heard the are going to make it a TV show, I wonder how that's going to turn out. If you liked 50 shades of gray do you would definitely like this book.
Bared to you. Phenomenal
Amazing. I can't get enough ..
Better than Fifty Shades. This is absolutely one of the best series I have ever read. A lot better than Fifty Shades of Grey!
Loved this book💞. Had a hard time trying to picture the characters, I'm so strung up on fifty shades lol.
Boring. The sex is too much. Just like fifty shades, I keep skipping pages. Why does it have to be in almost pages? It's so boring....
Love it!. Nothing else to say :)
