I lost count, I definitely love this book. As a matter of fact, I love the complete trilogy. Can't wait when it becomes a movie. Maybe on cable, Starz or Encore!!! 😁

I liked it more than Fifty Shades. It seemed more realistic to me, and it has way more drama. Plus, I really like Eva's personality.

Sylvia Day has done an amazing job in this series! Even as I write this I feel like that's an understatement. Gideon and Eva's love for one another and their independent lives continually collide and crash in pure emotional suspense. I literally couldn't put them down! This is a once in a lifetime love story that is wrapped up in some pretty detrimental life altering circumstances. I found myself constantly flipping to the next page and rooting for "GidEva" through the entire series!

What am I suppose to do with my life after the Crossfire trilogy? These books are AMAZING. Blows fifty shades out of the water... great read!

What terrible people. Heated scenes and constant long drawn out conversations talking through their issues over and over again.....

Omg I'm obsessed with this story! I can't get enough!! LOVE IT!!

Wow. I am impressed by this hot, profoundly felt love story. Sylvia Day's characters and writing are next level. I am canceling my plans so I can read book #2. Heartfelt and Hot - a winning combination.

In the beginning I couldn't put this book down. I loved reading every word. But as chapters went by it became too repetitive. He upsets her=she runs=he explains his way out=mild blowing sex=repeat. It was well written in the way it keeps you reading but I almost decided not to finish because it was too predictable in the cycle of their relationship.

Awesome series! Couldn't put it down!

The sex is too much. Just like fifty shades, I keep skipping pages. Why does it have to be in almost pages? It's so boring....

I love the final book in this series. After reading FSOG, I found this series. It's written so well, a true love story. The storyline is hot and the sex scene are steamy. Thank you for such a fantastic series. Thank you for the twist and turns. Thank you for allowing them to gradually evolve. The story builds and so does the obsession with these books. Bravo!

The story I felt dragged. Nice enough but not really worth the hype.

Phenomenal

This is not just like 50 in my opinion. Yes there is a lot of sex, but I knew that before I bought it! I felt the story was much better than 50 shades. No, you don't know a lot about the characters after the first book. It's a series that you will have to read in its entirety to get to know the characters. I really enjoyed these characters more than I thought I would. I liked that they both had issues they needed to overcome, and I didn't find the female character to be weak.

If you're expecting an awe inspiring read you should probably search for a book outside of erotic romance, but for a book of this type, I thought it was a fun read! Can't wait to read the last one when it comes out!

Im not understanding how people are saying this is better than 50 shades when it's the same crap writing. Need something with a tad more originality

I absolutely love the love story between Gideon and Eva. All 4 books are well written and I preordered the 5th book. I can't put the books down! Sylvia Day is my new favorite author.

I fell in love with this book!! I could not put it down the story was so enthralling! The author caught me from page one. I wanted to see how it ended but I was sad when I finished the book I loved it so much. Gideon is a dominant man with the most loving sexy hot side to him. Eva was his perfect match. I am so glad this book shows a dominant man that isn't beating and demeaning his partner. The story made me cheer their love on. I am buying all 4 books to this series and preordered book 5. I don't know how I can wait until April for book 5 though. I could keep reading about Gideon and Eva and Cary for many more books. I will read all this authors books.

Completely ridiculous pricing on Ebooks. How was this $2.99 last week but didn't allow for download and now it's $9.99. How can people charge this for an Ebook when you can get a paperback for the same price?

I loved this first book. I have been trying to buy the second one for about a week and keep getting the same message: "This item is currently being modified. Please try again later." Really disappointed and hope this gets fixed soon!

I googled what to read after 50 Shades & this book was at the top of the list. One of the reviews mentioned it was better than 50 Shades & had a better plot. After finishing it, I was aggravated. Better plot how? It was as though the writer dissected 50 Shades & attempted to rewrite it with more time spent on how to recreate a storyline enough NOT to plagiarize. The book simply ended, period! I understand the writer wants to split the story line for profit, but I'm so irritated, I'm moving on to another series. Gideon Cross was another name for the character of Christian Grey. Both loaded, both emotionally unattached prior to the female character, both controlling, jealous, possessive, dominants requiring their lover to be submissive, both in need of psychiatric help & both saved by the leading lady with which they cannot live without and rather loose their entire wealth than the loss of their loves. Wish I would have had a movie marathon on Netflix than waste my time.

I LOVED Fifty Shades so I thought this would be a good read to keep me occupied. It is very similar to Fifty, but still has a different twist too it. I read all 4 books within a week, it was a pretty easy read. I really do like it but there is something about the book that still doesn't sit right with me. I haven't decided if the male lead is just plain obsessive and possessive or if it actually is true love. This book definitely makes Fifty Shades look like a kids books with all the sex scenes. After a while I had to skip over some of the parts because it's just so constant and a little more harsh with the verbiage. But overall pretty good book and I'm looking forward for the 5th one to come out.

Christian, make room for Gideon!

Yes I am a fifty shades fan, please do not make the mistake that other reviews have done by trying to compare the two books for the same feel. This book is an erotic love story the main characters Gideon and Eva both have there issues totally different from fifty shades. While the initial setting can appear similar (meeting in the office building etc....) the story line is completely different this women is more mature just getting started the male also a man of great wealth with issues. I loved the book the book finished in one night Eva is crazy I felt like I was in the moments of Eva craziness. You won't be sorry for the read.

I cannot count how many times I've read each book in this series. Each book is fantastically written and flows smoothly into the next novel. The characters are solid and ooze conflict and romance. Must read book and series. It's not too hardcore, but it's definitely not soft either. It's just right - perfect.

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...

Eva works in the same building as Gideon and literally bumps into him at the elevator. Gideon is quite forward in his approach with Eva. Physical beautiful is not as important as what is in the inside. Eva is a shallow character by constantly stating how she cannot deny Gideon.

Gideon knew. He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other's most private worlds...and desires.

We never find out what trounces Gideon. All we understand is jus has nightmares.

The bonds of his love transformed me, even as I prayed that the torment of our pasts didn't tear us apart...

Eva speculates the situations with Gideon with too much drama. She jumps to unnecessary conclusions without clarification. These sex scenes become so robot having read them over and over again. No originality. Authors continue to harbor the same patterns in the bedroom. It's time to skip through the sex scenes which leaves virtually very little appealing storyline. So quick to judge and speculate. Let's run and pout instead of face the situation head on. She even has her own bedroom to run and pout in. It sickens me that Eva uses sex as a weapon for forgiveness. Way too many pages about sex. If you remove these sex scenes you won't be left with much of a story. Every situation with Eva is faced with insecurity and lack of trust. She jumps to conclusions. She has these preconceived ideas about every tiny detail with Gideon. These characters are toxic and I can't wait to rid the toxins. I felt unattached to these characters and I'm proud to say that. I would never want to be anything like these characters.

Amazing love story i look forward to reading the other series 😊

I think I'm in love with Cross 😃 😍great read

This is absolutely one of the best series I have ever read. A lot better than Fifty Shades of Grey!

Skillfully written. Ten-folds better than 50 shades!

Nothing else to say :)

The book to read after FiFty Shades!!!!!!

This is a cheap knock off of Fifty Shades of Grey. There is no originality or substance to the story. Leaves the reader with an ugly nauseous feeling rather than relaxed and romantic.

This story line I found interesting. A little Different hook to it but it's still a thrilling read for the open adult minded.

Had a hard time trying to picture the characters, I'm so strung up on fifty shades lol.

Does not compare even remotely with Fifty shades of gray! Such a boring book.

I bought this thinking it would be close to 50 shades of grey. I have to say, some parts were similar, others not so much. I found that the relationship between Eva and Gideon moves very fast compared to Christian and Anastasia. Saying that, I did like this book and I recommend it. Just don't go in thinking of Christian and Ana. you'll set yourself up for disappointment.

I love all four books to this series, I'm excited i heard the are going to make it a TV show, I wonder how that's going to turn out. If you liked 50 shades of gray do you would definitely like this book.

Not worth the $9.99 I paid. Very disappointing writing.

It never fails...girl gets job and meets and gorgeous CEO and her world is turned upside down. Good read and enjoyable book. Eva and Cross have a passionate addiction to one another. Love that is very intense.

This is a book you will read for hours on end not realizing how long you've been lost it the pages!

I LOVED fifty shades but this book...this book is amazing!!! Trust me! Just try it and I promise you will be hooked!

No originality! A very poor and vulgar attempt at a story like Fifty Shades of Grey.

So far this book has my attention, hope the second is just as good and the reviews for the third are all wrong.

Not a bad book at all. I enjoyed reading it. Definitely much better written that Fifty Shades; however, I still like Fifty Shades a lot more. This book helped curbed my withdrawal from ending the Fifty Shades series. I'm glad there are more Crossfire books though to keep me entertained.

These books are good, not great. I love to read and they all have a great story line. Sylvia Day has taken all my money because the series makes you want to know what is going to happen.

Be prepared to be swooped up, yet again, by a controlling, filthy rich entrepreneur. Definitely a must read after 50 shades!

I love this series! I love everything about it! I have read them at lead 4 times and am doing so now again! They are a tish better than 50 shades, better written and a little more believable! Love it!!!!

Just finished the first book and I just wanted to say that this book is so different in so many levels, to be truthful I was expecting another 50 shades of Grey, but no I loved that both characters have demons of their own I'm looking forward to reading the second book right now

This runs along the lines of 50, but in it's own way. Great story line. There's 3 books out but the 4th and 5th are due out sometime this yr👏

This was my first read after the fifty shades trilogy, and I will honestly say that I really enjoyed Eva and Gideon's story. It was refreshing to get acquainted with new personalities and the new DRAMA. The drama was so thick you could cut it with a knife, but I loved every page of it.

I can't wait to see how their story ends, hopefully it remains a romance and not turn into a tragedy.

This book is a complete knock off of Fifty Shades that lacked a connection with the characters and has way too much going on.

I've read both books in 3 days.. Absolutely fell in love with Gideon Cross of this series!! When I was reading the 50 shades series I found myself skimming pages as one page was just like the other.. This series actually has an awesome storyline!! I was skeptical of reading this series as I felt I wasted enough money on FSOG.. This series is definitely worth the money!! You will not be disappointed ....

I know this is an unpopular opinion but I would take Gideon Cross over Christian Grey any day. And Eva is a far more interesting character than silly doe-eyed Ava.

I loved this book read all 50 shades of gray mad wanted a book just like it, power,lust,sex and more sex and I got all of it! What to read now? I'm 54 today just read my first 4 books Evers and I'm hooked

Lori L

Overrated! If the characters had been developed and had any of the passion of FSOG it would have potential. The start of the story was good, then it just felt like it was rushed to get to the sex.

Even though it was very similar to the 50 shades trilogy, I liked Eva and Gideon alot better since they BOTH have interesting and dark pasts. I cannot wait until the second book since there are a lot of questions that still have to be answered.

this filled the emptiness I had after finishing fifty shades books but I would not have read it at this time had I known the next book wasn't coming out until OCTOBER!!! I sure hope Sylvia gets enough good reviews about this book go ahead and publish the next one! I will for sure recommend this book to friends!!! However I did miss the inner goddess & subconscious in fifty shades!

So upset at the thought of no more 50 shades...this satisfies my need until October...it's a panty soaker

Great story! Can't wait till next book! Same feel as fifty shades! I like the fact the author does not describe every sex scene like fifty shades! Love the characters and the name Gideon!

It was a good book and I will buy the second one come October bc I don't like being left wondering but it was like a copycat version of FSOG.

Christian & Ana are more interesting than Gideon & Eva.

It wasn't terrible but it also wasn't AMAZING.

Very cleaver for this book to be promoted as a Fifty Shades of Grey equal. Unfortunately, this couple's relationship lacks the intensity and emotions of Ana and Christain. Eva leaves nothing to the imagination with cheap sex talk and quickly giving of herself. Readers are better off re-reading the Grey trilogy.

This book will definitely cure your fifty shades hangover. However, although the stories are similar Eva and Gideon are a lot more intense and likable. I don't know how I am going go wait until October for the sequel!!!

Very good book, needed another book similar to 50 shades! Can't wait till October for the next book!

Another obsessive relationship story, so similar to Fifty Shades series

Copy of the 50 shades with underdeveloped, empty characters that lack the emotional connection. The sex scenes are explicit but have no passion. Waste of money

This is what I need after 50 shades of grey. I can't wait for the rest of the story.I LOVED IT.

Gideon Cross gives Christian Grey a run for his money!!!!!!

Definitely cured my 50 fix! Just wish I didn't have to wait for October :(

Well done! Very intriguing read, to say the least! I cannot wait for the series to continue...

Loved it, can't wait for October :)

Too much of a "50 Shades" copycat.

Can't wait for the next one!!

Great book I can't believe I have to wait till Oct to read then next book! Love how they both have trouble past and r trying to fix it with there sex and love for each other can't wait till the next book hope Oct comes fast......

This was a great book! I can't wait till the next book.

It should be on everyone's to read list.

It read the book quickly, but It got slow and boring half way through. The same thing happening over and over. It didn't have me deep into the characters. Just didn't like it.

Ok I enjoyed this book however it is way to similar to fifty shades of grey, there were times when I was confused at which book I was reading, way to much a like! I felt that it was more graphic sexually than fifty shades. Can someone please write a sexy book like fifty shades but not the same story line!

It was a good book but was disappointed to see all similarities of Fifty Shades. But if you are in need of a something to read it is a good book.

I recently read 50 shades and I didn't understand all the hype. Half way throw the 2nd book I was annoyed, bored, and over the sex. I kept reading bc I started and had to finished. I was hesitant to read this book bc I was so over 50 shades but after a day or two I gave it a shot. I liked this story infinitely better than 50 shades. It lacked the repetition that 50 shades had which I was very grateful for. I'm addition, it felt that it was written much better And I honestly can't wait for the sequel! :)

Indeed--- there are several similarities between "Bared to You" and "Fifty Shades of Grey." I don't want to go into details. But I'll just say that I like "Fifty Shades of Grey" better. "Bared to You" is written better. The diction is not as cheap . But the problem for me is that the characters lack chemistry. I feel like it was just sex over and over and over. There were points where I read over the love scenes because I was tired of them.

Bared To You pretty much plagiarized 50 Shades of Grey. I felt no connection b/t the main characters Gideon & Eva. If you're gonna copy someone's work at least make it interesting and exciting. Total ripoff!

If you loved the Fifty Shades trilogy you will have this book. Although the story is similar to Fifty Shades it is different. I read this book in one day and currently pending the sequel.

Gideon is no Christian but it was still a great read! I've already preordered the next book!

I liked the story line.... Some people do need sex as a reassuring mechanism to deal with issues in a relationship. Not everything is sex, but it was interesting

If you liked 50 shades you'll love this book!

I liked this book more than I disliked it.

But still... The story felt underdeveloped and at the end I was like that's it? Seriously? It felt like the author lost steam and just ended it without resolving anything.

For example, what exactly happened in Gideon's past? What was the deal with the whole maga krav thing? It had no real relevance in the story. What's up with Gideon's brother and mom? What about Cary going off the deep end?It was just left open and nothing really came out of it or was resolved. Also what's up with the power exchange bdsm part? It seemed like an after thought and in reality there really wasn't any bdsm to speak of. I mean yeah he obviously was sexually more in control but it wasn't anything out of the ordinary other than their getting it on 24/7.

Like others said. It's way too similar to fifty shades but not nearly as good. I liked that Eva was a stronger woman than Ana but she didn't feel as real. And it seemed weird how he was supposedly so crazy for her yet kept ignoring her. Gideon pales in comparison to Christian Grey.

In the end I felt it wasn't cohesive enough and the plot was underdeveloped. If she continues it I really hope the next book will be better.

I found this story to be written much better technically and descriptively than 50. I loved G.C. and the complex nature of his character. I hated Christian in the first book to the point that I had to force myself to read the next book. Sylvia does a much better job at getting the reader to like the hero in this book. There is really zero comparison. Bared to You is a great book! I can't wait for the next book!

A 50 shades fix, but a lot more raunchiness! Looking forward to the next one!!!

Great read ..can't beat the price waiting for her next book hurry

This book was just all right. The story was underdeveloped and very predictable. I really tried not to compare it to Fifty Shades, but there were so many striking similarities that wasn't possible. I'm not one to stop reading a story in the middle -- I like to give it a whole-hearted chance -- so I did finish it, but it felt like a waste of time reading a copycat book. If you haven't read Fifty Shades yet, you'll probably enjoy Bared To Me. Personally, I was unimpressed.

I enjoyed the storyline. However, I believe it hardly compares to 50 Shades of Grey. The story itself, is an interesting read, but the verbiage was a bit too harsh for my taste. I'm interested in reading more are Eva and Gideon, but could do without some of the explicit sex ventures.

I read this book after reading fifty shades and i cant wait till the second part is finished!

I couldn't stop reading, maybe because of its' striking resemblance to 50 Shades of Grey....

Loved it!!!!!!

I've had this one in my TBR pile for awhile. After reading 50 Shades, I decided to give myself a bit of time before delving into this one because of all the talk of the similarities between the two. I'm glad I waited because I think that distance enabled me to appreciate the similarities and differences between the two.

Gideon Cross is an uber wealthy 28 year old who happens to run into Eva Trammel as she times her commute from her apartment to her new job at the Crossfire building. She has no idea who the god-like man with dark hair and blue eyes is, but her stirs two emotions in her (even if she didn't quite realize what those were at the time): fear and hope.

As I read the first half of the book, I could see how Eva's reluctance to bend to Gideon's will would have others saying this was similar to 50 Shades. He does have stalker tendencies. She, in no uncertain terms, tells Gideon she doesn't want anything to do with him. But for me, once you get past that and follow them as their embark on their relationship the similarities ended.

Eva and Gideon both have a very key and vital parts of them that is broken. They have trust issues related to the events that caused them to be the way they are. They both struggle for control over their relationship because that is what they need to make sure the past does't repeat itself.

While Gideon tends to alienate himself to ensure complete control, Eva has surrounded herself with people that have just as many issues as she has (which can't be good for her recovery either). Her best friend, Cary, is a recovering something (addict maybe) who she met in therapy in San Diego and hasn't been separated from since. We, along with Eva, get to watch him self-destruct and it makes you wonder what kind of effect that will have on Eva. Then there is Eva's mother. She's a whole lot of "out there" and definitely someone who blurs and crosses lines for her "piece of mind" regardless of the affect that will have on her daughter. While Gideon does fit into that same role with Eva, you can also see a hint of them wanting to break out of the molds they have both put themselves in and work together towards something healthy.

The one thing you'd think these two would have it together on was the sex, considering how combustible they were from their very first kiss. But even with sex they had issues, granted not quite as large as everything else in their relationship, but it was still there. I did scratch my head when Gideon declared that Eva was a submissive, because everything we'd seen in their sex life up to that point showed them pretty evenly matched. I mean, who wouldn't melt if you had a god-like man that turned you on giving you multiple orgasms. But after thinking about it, I could see where Eva was a submissive, reluctantly.

Clearly it's not going to be a clean and easy process. The last half of the book was messy and emotional, leaving me wondering "what next" as I flipped the page to see what would happen.

Sylvia Day has created two very complex characters who's emotional scars are laid bare for us to read. Both of them are hard to connect with, because of those emotional scars, but as the story progresses and they share more of themselves with each other you can start to understand them better. I look forward to reading Deeper In You and learning more about Gideon and Eva.

You can not compare this book to fifty shades. Its a cheaper version.

This book has great characters and Sylvia Day definitely traps you in. Cannot wait for the sequel

After reading fifty shades, i stumble upon Another series "Thoughtless" by S.C Stephens!! Soo good!!

Really good! Can not wait until the next one!!

Great read! I have been looking for another great book to keep me entertained and found it!

After reading the Fifty Shades Trilogy I was left wanting more!! When I found this book I was pleasantly surprised how similar but almost better it was! Can't wait for the next one!

Definitely, cured my withdrawal from Fifty Shades. Has a lot of similarities to my favorite new trilogy. Romance & lots of sex is what Eva & Gideon's push and pull relationship as they both work through their inner demons left me wanting more.
