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...

Critic reviews

“If I were to recommend any book today to readers who enjoyed Fifty Shades of Grey… this would be the first one I would offer… Scorching love scenes.” ( Dear Author)
"An erotic romance that should not be missed.” ( Romance Novel News)
“Hot… page-meltingly hot.” ( Darhk Portal)

Featured Article: Steamy Listens as Irresistible as Fifty Shades of Grey


Fifty Shades of Grey has been a prominent title in erotica for nearly a decade. Considering that it's a wildly romantic story in which character development and sexual dynamics play equally strong roles, it’s quite a standout in its genre. Ask any fan and they’ll tell you that it’s not always easy to find something that has the same kind of tension and payoff as the Fifty Shades trilogy. Here are some books and series that fans of Fifty Shades are sure to love.

When Gideon dragged Eva to the libery during the party

No

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

AWESOME! I want more!

Would you consider the audio edition of Bared to You to be better than the print version?

I didn't read the print version - I am an avid book listener and do not read books in print - the audio helps kill my commute time.

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

It was a great story line. Some of the most memorable moments was Ava telling Gideon about her past and how he handled it. And how he's learning how to open up for the first time in his life.

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

I don't think I've listened to her before.

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

Complicated lives make for great sex.

Any additional comments?

I am addicted to Fifty Shades....this....was even better! I am wanting impatiently for the second book to come out!!!

Not 50 shades of Gray.

I was looking for a steamy novel and I got it with this. If anything there was too much sex. It got a bit boring after a while.

Better than 50 Shades!

Would you listen to Bared to You again? Why?

I found this book to be just as good of a story as 50 Shades of Grey but with better sex scenes. Very hot!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Gideon Cross has his issues, which is what makes him so interesting. He is very protective, obsessive, and domineering which makes him even hotter and makes the story that much more interesting. Although his obsession with Eva seems like it would be unhealthy, it is one of the things you will love most about him.

Any additional comments?

One of the best credits ever spent, and you will want to listen to the second and third books as soon as you can!

desperately seeking a Gideon Cross of my own!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes! If you liked FSOG, you'll love this. Christian Grey has nothing on Gideon Cross!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Carey!

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

The first time Gideon uttered "crossfire" and it meant something so much more than when Ava said it. I mellllted!

Any additional comments?

Jill Redfield was an amazing narrator. The story is great. The characters are awesome and well developed. I couldn't stop listening!
