Bared to You (Crossfire #1)

" I want there to be happily-ever-afters for the fucked-up crowd. Show me the way, Eva honey. Make me believe."

― Sylvia Day, Bared to You

My post Fifty Shades read and it didn't disappoint me at all! Better written as everyone would agree, with such incredible characters and not to mention all the angsty, erotic scenes and the emotional roller coaster ride the author has promised. The twists on the characters are very well thought out and will definitely leave you wanting more and more!

The story mainly revolves around Eva Tramell, a young ad agency assistant who tries to live a normal life after a very traumatic childhood incident and Gideon Cross, the hottie billionaire who doesn't believe in mixing sex and emotions... well, only until he met Eva. When their paths crossed, there was an undeniable connection that was so intense they couldn't let each other go. But there's too much baggage for both of them and they are totally screwed up! Their troubled past make them the insecure lovers they are, yet they both want each other so desperately it hurts.

Can two broken souls survive it all? Can they find their way to heal without hurting each other? Will love and sex be enough to get them through?

I really love the story from beginning to end. Not to mention how other characters were strategically placed to spice up the story. Each has its own spotlight that you can't afford to miss!

Sylvia Day did not just tell the story, she made it come alive!

Apart from its extra steamy and erotic scenes, i think BARED to YOU is yet another reminder that sometimes, LOVE just ain't enough to hold a relationship together, but its bare minimum! Its a combination of LOVE, TRUST, HONESTY, COMMUNICATION, COMPROMISE and a huge amount of COMMITMENT that each party is willing to contribute.

Just like Eva and Gideon, its always a "work in progress"!
