Book 13

BaredToYouBerkleySDay.jpgI know that I am skipping series but I wanted to get started on reading a more mature, to say, genre of books. I was recommended by my co-worker to read Bared to You by Sylvia Day. I told everyone about the Fifty Shades Series [guilty] so I guess it was her way to repay the favor. Well it took me about two days to get through the whole book. However the only thing that stood out to me besides the obvious sexually inclined pages was Ms. Day's use of words. It's so captivating and her words are so strong and proper that I am just filled with envy that I'm not as gifted as she. I recommend this book to everyone! Mostly to women because besides all the sexual moments (which are a lot) the plot hits so close to home for women who have/had relationship issues. As for Men, you could read this to get a better insight on women and how we actually see men. If you can get through all the mushy scenes. 

Well the plot is SO (see the emphasis on the SO) similar to Fifty Shades that even I got confused at times. Gideon Cross is in love with a new New Yorker Eva, and they both are deeply attracted to each other.Which leads into their heavy sexual encounters throughout the book. In general although their relationship is complicated because both of them have psychological issues, it eventually conflicts with having an actual relationship outside of a physical one. Eventually they learn from each other's mistakes, mostly Gideon's *cough. But trouble arrives in the form of pass lovers of Gideon who are tormenting their already dysfunctional relationship....

It's an emotional roller-coaster but it's still a great read. It's really different from the works that I am used to reading but overall I enjoyed it....

  1. I've been curious in these types of books having not been able to go a day with out hearing all the "50 Shades" hoopla. Maybe I'll pick this one up and give it a shot.
