    Romantic, liberating and totally addictive, the Fifty Shades trilogy will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you for ever... Daunted by the dark secrets of the tormented young entrepreneur Christian Grey, Ana Steele has broken off their relationship to start a new career with a US publishing house. But desire for Grey still dominates her every waking thought, and when he proposes a new arrangement, she cannot resist.

    Gideon Cross: As beautiful and flawless on the outside as he was damaged and tormented on the inside. He was a bright, scorching flame that singed me with the darkest of pleasures. I couldn’t stay away. I didn’t want to. He was my addiction…my every desire…mine. My past was as violent as his, and I was just as broken. We’d never work. It was too hard, too painful…except when it was perfect. Those moments when the driving hunger and desperate love were the most exquisite insanity. We were bound by our need. And our passion would take us beyond our limits to the sweetest, sharpest edge of obsession.…

    What made the experience of listening to Reflected in You the most enjoyable?

    Even better than the first in the series.


    What other book might you compare Reflected in You to and why?

    FSOG - I'm a huge fan but this series is taking over as the best yet. Sorry EL James and Becca Battoe but I think you've met your match with these.


    Have you listened to any of Jill Redfield’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    No


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    The end. It's left me hanging till the 3rd book is released. Roll on June !!


    Any additional comments?

    The best. Even though it is an erotic love story the underlying plot is very sad and unfortunately something that is in our society far too often.

    "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."

    What made the experience of listening to Bared to You the most enjoyable?

    It is such a gripping story that I couldn't turn it off. There went a weekend listening to this and Reflected in You non stop.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Bared to You?

    Eva and Gidion are such a complex pair both individually and as a couple it just keeps you listening


    What does Jill Redfield bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    I have "just read" the books as well as listening to the audio. Jill Redfield is brilliant. I thought Becca Battoe of FSOG was brilliant but she has competition in Jill.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Love story with a twist.


    Any additional comments?

    Really good story, can't wait till the 3rd in the series comes out.

    Would you consider the audio edition of Fifty Shades of Grey to be better than the print version?

    No not better but love the fact that I can listen to them where ever and when ever I want. But then I'm addicted to audio books.


    What did you like best about this story?

    Yes there is the erotic romance but it is also a very good story. Can't wait for further stories on Christian and Anastasia.


    What about Becca Battoe’s performance did you like?

    Her ability to be all characters is brilliant.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    I fell in love with the 2 main characters and they made me both laugh and cry.


    Any additional comments?

    If you loved reading this trilogy then I can assure you the audio version is just as brilliant.
