Bared to You by Sylvia Day is a compelling read that dives deep into the complexities of love & desire. The chemistry between the main characters, Eva & Gideon, is electric, making their tumultuous relationship both thrilling & intense. Day's writing style is engaging, pulling you into their world & making you feel their struggles & triumphs.
The character development is one of the highlights of the book.

It has its flaws, but the passionate connection between the characters & the emotional depth of their journey makes it a worthwhile experience. I’d give it a solid 4 stars for its engaging storytelling & unforgettable characters.

honestly, this book just annoyed me. the whole “meet cute” was the worst I think I have ever read and gave no basis for this book. they start dating because he told her he wanted to have sex with her basically after the first time they accidentally bumped into each other?? and the whole plot is them forcing a relationship to work (that doesn’t). they fight, and then have sex to fix the issue - when none of their issues ever even get fixed. and then it just abruptly ends because I feel like the other didn’t have anything else for them to fight over. the book lacked really any plot and was just an endless cycle of fight and have make up sex without the actual making up part.

Just really dirty. No plot in sight. Very toxic actually!!!
Good read, however similarities were so close to 50 Shades, which I think was and will end up being the better series. Thhings in this book moved so quickly, almost like it was on fast forward, which made it easy to get through, but also less believable.
