I'm just finished with this book and...Wow. I wasnt expecting that.

Okay...Now I will tell you how I felt while reading this book.

Since I liked Bared To You but felt something was missing in the first book, I was waiting big changes in the second book of Crossfire Series. My expectations were high at first.

In Reflected in You the biggest problem was jealousy. Gideon wasnt opening up about his thoughts and when this fact mixed with Eva's insecurity the jealousy was inevitable.
At first I thought this book would just be about jealousy and make-up sex. Because till the half of this book it was what it is.

“I'd rather argue with you, angel, then laugh with anyone else.”


They were fighting over someone and then BAM! Hot-make-up-sex! I am not complaining, it was hot. But I was waiting more from this book. Thats why I was almost disappointed. But it was hot enough to erase my disappointment.

The second half of the book was something else. I was angry at Gideon because he wasnt explaining anything and just expected Eva to trust him. But at the same time I loved him a lot. Because I trusted him.

And after he told what happened to him...I just loved him more. I have a sweet spot for troubled-men. I cannot help it *sigh*

“You’re the greatest risk I’ve ever taken.” His pressed his lips gently to mine. “And the greatest reward.”


But why I gave this book 4 stars even I didnt love the first half that much? Here is the answer: That end of the book!

End of the book my suspicions became true. I knew it but listening it was better. Because that part was written cleverly.

I admired Gideon, his intelligence and his power. It may not right thing to do but still...I felt relief like Eva. End of the Reflected in You was so much better that I expected. And I loved this book more than Bared to You.
I will keep listening this series with Entwined with You.

And as a note: Audiobook version of this book is so good. I loved Narrator so much. Her voice and the way her reading were just great!




Review: Bared To You by Sylvia Day via Goodreads

Bared to You (Crossfire, #1)Bared to You by Sylvia Day
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4- Stars!

First of all let me tell you this: If you hadn't read this book yet, I highly recommend you to listen it as audiobook version. It was good enough to make you feel emotions and it was fun ;)

I was waiting more than two years to read Crossfire Series. I dont know why I waited that long. There was no reason actually. Anyway, after all that time I was totally blind about this book. I didnt know anything about the story beside the name of Gideon Cross.(cool name btw)

"Are you sleeping with anyone?"

"Why is that any business of yours?"

"Because I want to fuck you, Eva. I need to know what's standing in my way, if anything.”


As we all got use to, Gideon Cross is billionare-hot-alphamale hero of Bared to you. He has dark, captivating charm. He wants control in his own universe and he has it.

Eva Trammel is new employee in the Crossfire Building. She comes New York with her best friend Cary for her new job.
And the first time Eva saw Gideon, he captivated her by his look, his confidence and charm. But she has same effect on him as well. Eventhough Eva doesnt seem to be his type according to people.

“Keep looking at me like that,"
he warned, leaning casually into the counter and sipping his coffee.
"See what happens."

"I'm going to lose my job over you."

"I'd give you another one."

I snorted. "As what? Your sex slave?"

"What a provocative suggestion. Let's discuss.”


Eva and Gideon both have issues about their past. In this book Gideon's mystery isnt solved. But Eva's...I am really sorry about what she'd been through. It was rough to listen. And I like Eva's strength about it. She bared herself to Gideon.
I really wanna know what happened to Gideon.

Beside from that their relationship has up and downs. Sometimes they seem perfect together sometimes they are just like disaster. But whatever they are the truth is...They are hot. There is pretty much lust and passion. And for the record...I love the library scene.

I enjoyed listening this book. I also love the other chracters in the book. Like Cary or Mark and Steven. This book is like beginning of the real story. Atleast thats what I feel. It was not so dark or deep. It was well-written enough and storyline was good enough but I felt something missing. I am not sure what it is. Maybe after reading all books of the series I will feel better.
