Publisher's summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sylvia Day comes the first novel in the Crossfire series - a provocative masterstroke of abandon and obsession that redefined the meaning of desire, and became a global phenomenon.

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...

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

If you are looking for a book in this genre then yes, it was a good choice. I just decided half way through that I was over erotic books

Has Bared to You turned you off from other books in this genre?

I'm turned off from other books in the genre but not because of this book. Its actually one of the better ones

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The reading was great.

Was Bared to You worth the listening time?

Yes, if you are into this genre, this book is a good listen

Good and easy read

I got this book to listen to at night before bed so I didn't want anything too complex. It's a fun, steamy story, but I was thrown off by the female narrator trying to do male voices.

Bared to You- not 50 Shades of Grey...

What did you love best about Bared to You?

I read some reviews before I bought this audio book, and most say its comparative to 50 shades of Grey. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed that trilogy, but to compare "Bared to You" to "50 Shades of Grey" just doesn't seem fair. The quality of writing and storyline of Bared to You is the winner. The story is better and the sex scenes are much more steamy. I was entertained from beginning to end. If you are looking for a hot romance novel with a good storyline this is a good one to read.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved that its not just all seductive & captivating love scenes, and that it actually has a really good storyline. Its not just hot love scenes. The story in between is very well written.

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

Jill did an amazing job narrating the story, and I am not going to lie. Its just way more fun to listen to this kind of books.

Good Performance, story just OK

Would you listen to Bared to You again? Why?

I loved that the reader wasn't monotone and gave the characters life

Would you be willing to try another book from Sylvia Day? Why or why not?

Sure..I am curious to see where these characters go

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

Not that I can remember
