many thanks for crossfire my partner is a big fan of Sylvia Day so is reading it first and is so far enjoying what she has read.

Many thanks to Mumsnet / Penguin Random House for a copy of 'One With You'. The author has done well with these very popular sets of books, and I was looking forward to a great read.

The books are intriguingly presented, with a modern contemporary cover design - I was half-expecting action, espionage and suspense to be mixed in with the relationship plot. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. Unfortunately, the book comes across as little more than a reworking of 'Fifty Shades Of Grey'. Yes, it's sheer escapism, but not quite gripping or edge-of-your-seat, I'm afraid. The way the characters behave make it difficult to invest in their predicaments, and the events lead up to a somewhat predictable ending. And despite being the final book in a series of 5, there are still mysteries surrounding Gideon’s past. (Maybe I am being unfair as the answers could be in the previous books. But being the final instalment, I expected it all to be neatly wrapped up).

As stated above, the books are selling and clearly work has gone into them. Fans of this genre should enjoy it.

Sorry for late posting. I haven't been able to read much as only returned from holiday recently.
The book is not really my 'genre' I think. I don't like the way the herione gushes over the attractive man.

I will persevere and update on this post.

Many thanks Mumsnet for my free book. Just beginning to read it now. Will post again when I have finished it.

Thank you for my book ,Bared to you. I had not heard of this series before. I felt the book lacked much story line . The characters lacked depth . It didn't really grip me I'm afraid and I doubt I'll read the others in the series. Thanks Mumsnet for selecting me for the book.

I was really looking forward to reading my copy of Bared to You but have to say that I am slightly disappointed, the characters were a little weak and I couldn't relate to any of them at all which is something that's really important to me in any book I read. The story is easy to follow and the book is a quick read but it didn't have any depth and I ended up not caring what was going to happen in the end. I'm not sure if I will read any of the other books in the series.

Thoroughly enjoying my free copy of Bared to You. Thank you. Looking forward to reading the whole series

This series is part of the fifty shades genre and the two are very comparable.

It's an easy read which gets to the point much faster than fifty shades and develops some of the ideas from the fifty shades series. The back stories of the characters are more developed although the actual story is a bit cliche and predictable.

As I was reading I did wonder about the impact this could have on young women who may believe that elements of this sort of relationship are acceptable and who may end up in an abusive relationship. The whole story hinges around money. Half of the scenarios could not happen if Gideon was not rich.

It's a good read and I did enjoy the series. However, the realities of such a relationship may not be as glamorous as the books make out.

after reading some of the reviews here was hoping for really good read ,but how wrong could I be BARED TO YOU is really Sylvia Days rewriting of E.L. James book, "Fifty Shades of Grey." so because of this I couldn't really get into it or even wanted to try too pity Sylvia had steal someone ideas so they could try make a name for themselves ,so she on my blacklist as just another copycat

Thanks for my copy of the book Bared To You. This book left me annoyed as it just came to an end and left far too many questions unanswered; the main one being who was Gideon's abuser. The sex scenes just became monotonous, I'd rather have found out more about Gideon's past (how did he become so successful so young?). I won't be bothering to read the rest of the series as I feel they'll have the same plotline i.e. misunderstanding/arguments and then make up sex and I'll still be none the wise about Gideon's past.

Not for me I'm afraid!

I was lucky enough to receive the first in the series! If you love escapism-well you won't be dissappointed! I couldn't put this book down and am delighted that there are several more in the trilogy.

I received a copy of Bared to You. I didn't know anything about the series before this. It was strangely compulsive reading, peopled with impossibly beautiful characters and lots of sex, but not much of a story line. However, I don't think I'll be rushing out to get the rest of the series.

I have now finished the first book in the series. I really liked it. Yes, it was full of sex, but thats what the story was about, the powerful attraction of the characters, no use complaining about it :)
I will certainly be picking up the remaining books and devouring them as quickly as I can!! :)

I was lucky enough to win the first book in the Crossfire series Bared to You in the Mumsnet giveaway. I had never heard of the books and it probably wouldn't have been something I would have bought. I am also in the category of never having read 50 shades of grey which I think this series probably resembles. Eva and Gideon are both very rich very beautiful people with troubled pasts - this book is clear about Eva's problems but only hints at Gideon's. From the moment they meet their sexual attraction is undeniable and there are very few pages of the book which do not describe their sexual activity in intimate detail and explicit language - if you find this offensive this is not the book for you! I found the characters rather cliched - Eva even has a drop dead gorgeous gay/bi flat mate and I also found it hard to sympathise with characters who despite having had problems lived in such gilded cages. This book is pure escapism - if I found the next in the series in a hotel room I might read it at the pool (all the while feeling inadequate about my appearance and my sex life) but buy it? probably not.

Thank you for my copy of One With You. I have just finished reading this. I won't divulge the plot as I'm aware we are all reading different books in the series. This book is told in alternating chapters between Eva and Gideon and is the last book in the series although there are some unanswered questions so I wonder if there will be another book.
This book was great fun. A little erotic in places but is nowhere near as explicit as some.
If you are looking for a heartwarming, passionate, fun and steamy read this is the one for you. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks again

I haven't had a chance to start reading it yet, I have read all of the others in the crossfire series and looking forward to reading this. They are very similar to Fifty Shades of Grey, maybe a bit too similar for my liking, much prefer FSOG but seeing as I have read all of these books the can't be too bad!

Thank you for my copy of Bared to You.
My first impressions were really good but as the story went on I found it not very interesting at all.
This is an erotic novel, the main character opens up about her troubled past, you barely get a hint about her lovers past. Though the story is written through her eyes only and in reality men don't really open up. I felt like I was missing a piece of the puzzle.
The plot to the story starts of well but just continues with sexual themes and places throughout the rest.
I'd like to read the next book in the series to see if it gets any better as I personally feel the book stopped dead like watching a film halfway and switching it off

Finished the book now, I enjoyed the storyline but for me there were too many sexual encouners. Less sex more storyline wouldve been perfect. Will read next book as i am intruiged about Gideons past.

I havent finished reading this book yet but a quick comment. I received Bared to you, I had not heard of this series as I have read all the fifty shades books and found them tedious so when any similar book came about, I would (unfairly) dismiss it. I started reading yesterday and I am hooked, much better than Fifty shades and already halfway through. I leave you now to dive back into it!! :)

I have now read Bared to You. It was a bit like shades of grey - it was ok but I don't think I will be reading the rest of the series but pleased I had the opportunity to read this!

I received Captivated by You & didn't realize what I was letting myself in for, never having read a Sylvia Day book. It certainly kicks off with plenty of sex and that continues throughout. Not really quite my sort of book but fascinating to read a Sunday Times best selling author. I found it a bit dark & depressing & would not be in a hurry to read the other Crossfire novels, although I know a lot of people would. Thanks for the opportunity.

One With You - just finished reading and really enjoyed it. A great summer read.

Bared to you, I hadn't heared of these books so was interested to try one, not my usuall kind of reading but was surprised, the story line was well written with some good characters in the background.
Good holiday book.

One With You - Thanks MN for sending me the final book in the series. I've read the others so can't wait to read this one. About to start it now so will post again when finished!
