I have received my book and have read the first 100 or so pages. Although the 'steamy' scenes are a little more hot water than boiling kettle. I was surprised at the level of social and psychological history of each character that the author was conveying this level of depth of details she went to to make them deeper than a name on a page. Two met through counselling, one is focused on money, one like to have the control etc. She as also, as far as I have read, touched on topics which I have not normal read about such as self-harm, abuse etc.

So far - not an overly steamy read - but that might change later- but a good read if you like a little more depth to the characters.

Thank you MN for the opportunity to read and review this book. Unfortunately I have really not enjoyed this book. I found it completely unoriginal and quite tiresome to be honest. Of it's type it may be ok but it would be good if there was a proper story in there - sorry.

I received captivated by you, sadly can't say I'm captivated by it! Can't see me persevering to be honest, will pass on to a friend

Thank you for the book 😆 Never read any of these book, can't wait to start reading it today! Totally excited! Will definitely be back with my reviews on it 😊

Recently received Captivated by you, I've read the other 3 a while ago & it was easy to kind of remember the story & characters. I've managed to read the first 100 pgs & if you don't take the book 'seriously' & enjoy this type/style of book; then you'll enjoy this series. Not sure if there are people out there like Gideon & Eva, if so then they must be either walking like John Wayne with sore knees! Thanks for the book.

Have just received my book, I also didn't realise it was an erotic read. Looking forward to reading it! My mum said she's read them all!! Little minx!

I received 'Bared to you'. Like others, I didn't realise that this would be erotica. I wasn't interested in 50 shades (never read) and I'm really not interested in this. I gave it a shot, but I just found it, boring frankly. I didn't think it terrible, but once I put it down - well I forgot to pick it up again.
I'm not a big reader (hardly ever) but in comparison - DH had a copy of 'the girl on the train' lying around which I picked up recently - and read every available second. I'd rather plot driven than hanky panky driven.

I received "Bared to You" and hadn't realised beforehand it was going to be like Fifty Shades! It's not really my kind of book as I prefer more of a storyline. However, I have read the first few chapters and intend to finish it anyway in case something exciting happens at the end. Thanks for sending me this book as it's good to read stuff you wouldn't normally choose!

I won the book and chose Bared To You.
I felt the book was ok, better written than 50 Shades, however I felt the plot lines lacked depth.
I finished the book in a few hours and felt it came to an abrupt end.
That said I would like to read the next book in the series.."Reflected In You"

Not my taste in books. Sent straight to Charity shop.

I received a copy of Bared To You.

Of its genre, it's quite well-written, but to be honest it is a bit 'same-old, same-old' in terms of its theme with lots (perhaps too much) of rumpy-pumpy and not enough in terms of meaty storyline. I'm interested in what motivates the author and what element of her work gives her the greatest level of satisfaction.

I didn't realise they were erotic novels - wish they had a story to go with the sex

Bared to You, should perhaps be titled Bored by You - Not the most thrilling storyline I'm afraid.

Never heard of these books before so asked for the 'bared to you' first book of the series. Didn't realise they were saucy novels! V similar to fifty shades

Thank you so much for the book! Mumsnet, I really appreciated the opportunity for both reading and reviewing this book.
I receaved and read “Bared to you”, the first instalment of the Crossfire series a few weeks ago. I apologize about only now leaving my thoughts on this thread...
It was my first read of this series however I was not very impressed by it I’m afraid. It is a highly erotic read but it lacks a narrative. The story line could be more complex and not revolving only on sex... Nonetheless for me, its flaw lies on the main characters which are not believable and incoherent. I didn’t feel any chemistry between them as well, it is not the fact the author repeats constantly about how ‘hot’ the characters feel about each other that provides any chemistry or emotional connection, it is the subtilties of actions in a consistent narrative, which the book lacks. I was also left with plot lines unanswered.

I received 'Bared To You' - Thank you very much.

I found the book a quick read, I enjoyed it as a light story that was easy to get into.

I like a bit of sex in my books and this didn't disappoint.

I would recommend it as a holiday book and will look out for the sequel next time I go away.

Many thanks for the book i look forward to reading it,

Id never heard of the crossfire series before I received my book. Ive just started to read it and am totally hooked. So easy to get into and keep your attention. Will be busy reading it again tonight!!

I read One With You and I was really pleased to receive it as I had read the previous books. It's quite a quick read but I found it disappointing as I had questions to be answered with regard to the ongoing story line, and they weren't.
The story continues and you think all will be revealed but it isn't for example you never find out if it was Carey's baby or not.
The storyline is sensual but a bit samey and tame after a while, it's ok as chewing gum reading but I probably could think of better books to recommend.

received my copy of Bared To All last week. Almost finished it. I had not heard of this series before. Similar mode to Shades of Grey, I am waiting to find out Gideons story, Eva has bared all (in more ways than one ;) )Will read next book in series. Some interesting characters in the background which makes storyline more interested. Thanks mumsnet for putting me forward for my copy

Received and read Entwined with you. I was intrigued by the premise as so many relationships seem to fall apart at the 'drop of a hat'.

I found it well written, and I enjoyed the storyline. I do wish I'd been able to read the first books in the series, but it has left me badgering hubby for the Crossfire series for my birthday next month.
Some of the love scenes were more than sensual and every so often I would find hubster peering over my shoulder, and then stopping me from turning the page.

One With You by Sylvia Day is the final of the Crossfire books & I have to admit I have not read any of the others, however it was easy to pick up the storyline. The book was two thirds through before it became really interesting with the shooting, & the ends all tying together in the conclusion. I became a little bored with the sex theme running through it as it all became too improbable that two people can lust after each other every minute of every day, for a whole book. The Fifty Shades Of Grey trilogy was of the same ilk but better I thought.

I recieved 'Bared to you' and took it with me on holiday, I can honestly say I only read the first chapter and found it boring, my daughter-in-law however picked it up and read the whole book and loved it x

Potential spoiler alert. I was sent 'reflected in you' from mn to read (thank you mn). It was a quick and easy read and it was better written that the dire fifty shades. I found it annoying how Eva was constantly thinking the relationship was over when it seemed clear to the reader it wasn't, I also found Gideon's controlling behaviour very worrying in how it was accepted and made my teeth itch that people may read this thinking it could be accepted in a relationship. It picked up marginally at the end with the murder plot (which I assume sets up the next book). It's not really my kind of book or something I will continue with (although I am frustrated enough with lack of answers to have a google as to how the series ends) but if you like this kind of thing you may well prefer it to fifty shades.

I received a copy of Bared to You, which I believe is the first in a series of books, and will sadly be my last. Well not so much of the sadly. I just prefer my reading material to have a decent story and credible characters.
Why on earth would I want to waste my time reading about hot,steamy sex, when I could be doing exactly that with my other half.
