I won’t lie: I will admit that I read Bared to You because it was linked to Fifty Shades of Grey. Genre: Contemporary, Erotica, Romance, Drama, Dark And it would have been a decent trilogy.# of Books: 5 (Bared to You, Reflected in you, Entwined with You, Captivated by You, One With You)Ĭomplete?: No, One with You, has a publishing date TBA This could have ended in a trilogy if we cut of all those unnecessary scenes. Overall verdict: Sad to know sex sells so much that authors would rather not waste their time with anything else. But again, this really could have been developed further. With Gideon finally talking about his abuse to Eva also finally finding ways to be more committed in her life, after her abuse led to her own destructive path down the road. It was not the relationship growth only, but also the personal growth of each other. Gideon and Eva both helped each other overcome many aspects of their lives. That was a cute and heart melting moment. But the way Gideon finally does give in for the sake of Eva and they get back together, its sweet. They aren’t perfect though, and they have way too many problems. Gideon and Eva have this soulmate connection. I think Day at least went about the right way about this. I think there should have been at least one time skip. Don’t flip their lives 360 degrees just like that. But five books!! Sylvia Day give your characters time to breathe. I mean if this was a trilogy at max, yeah I probably would have been considerate.
And so many things happens in those months which is just absurd. The whole book series span about in a timeline of 3 – 4 months. Yeah, I get it they are broken and they feel that sex anchors them together, Day could have written it subtly and not as descriptive, that would have made things so much better and sweet. But pages of pages of descriptive sex scenes just ruins the whole mood specially if it just doesn’t help the plot even a bit. The thing is sex isn’t a bad thing in a romance novel when written well because it can show the depth of emotions between the protagonists. But Sylvia Day didn’t focus on developing the plot line or characters as well as she could have, if she didn’t have them getting it on like rabbits every few pages. And I needed to know what happens, needed to know if these two get their happy ending. No really, the only thing that made me come back each time for this series was the bond between Eva and Gideon made me really love them. Gideon and Eva’s characters are so broken but so strong. In my honest opinion, The Crossfire series had the potential to be a really good series. Let’s start with the most annoying thing about this book series, shall we? (Few spoilers ahead)
