Bared to you by Sylvia Day
This book has been compared to the Fifty Shades of Gray series. I haven't read Fifty Shades. I've heard more bad things about it than good, and I decided not to read it.
I went with this one, which is still 'erotica', but better written. So I hear, I can't say that for sure because I've only read the one.
Somebody lent this to me. I'd never heard of it before.
I think it's classified as erotica or romance. I also like to call it book porn. I'm not ashamed of the fact that I read it, I just think if it were on TV or a movie, it would be almost porn. (Except it has a story).
This was an extremely quick read. It took me three days, and I would have read it in one, but it's not a lunchtime novel.
Some thoughts on this book:
I didn't hate this book. It made me appreciate what I have. The love without all the ridiculous drama.

Some thoughts on this book:
- Every person described in this book is drop dead gorgeous. The main man (Gideon) is hotter than all the rest. That must make him pretty good looking if every other person is described as beautiful. It could just be the main character (Eva), sees the beauty in everybody. To me, it felt like an episode of Melrose Place or 90210 where only the beautiful people hang out. Just as an age reference, I'm referring to both original shows, although it probably works for the new ones as well.
- I was expecting either more or a different style of sex. There was a tiny bit of talk about dominant and submissive, but that's as far as they got. The sex scenes reminded me of the first romances I used to read in high school. Sandra Brown romances have the same type of scenes (in my opinion). Very detailed sex. I'm not complaining about the sex, I'm just saying it wasn't quite what I was expecting.
- I understand why this is the first of three. They didn't really get into a lot of detail about anything in this novel. (Other than the sex detail).
- They are both survivors of sexual assault (rape) in their pasts. Three days in, he agrees to 'couple counselling'. (I think three days, it was less than a month). I think if you need couple counselling that soon in a relationship, you probably should have been getting counselling all along. Eva had been (I think), but Gideon hadn't. Watching the two of them try to communicate really was the most frustrating thing in the world. The therapist had his/her work cut out.
- Although the characters tried hard to be a normal couple, they might want to take a step back and think about the definition of stalking. Healthy relationships don't include stalking.
I didn't hate this book. It made me appreciate what I have. The love without all the ridiculous drama.
