Looking for something that gives you that “Fifty Shades” *oomph*. This. Is. It! I have been searching high and low for months now, and have found some “similar” books, but none were as intense. This one is, and my Facebook group would agree:
Jenny: Maryse, finished Bared to You and dare I say it’s a squeeeeeeeeee!!!!! Yep, you heard me! All of us girls have read it/reading it and it’s unanimous…..we ♥ this book. Gideon is to die for and hot as hell…yummm. He could very well be one of my faves and earns a ♥♥. Eva is one fiesty, sexy heroine! These two sizzle and I am hanging out for book 2! I need it now!
Sali: omg finished this yesterday & had freakin MASSIVE come down !!! i felt lost mate when it was over !! this will b in my top 5 books of the year with out a doubt !!!!
Carol: So I’m 85% done and I almost don’t want to finish just so I can wonder and obsess over the outcome. These two are ONE HOT MESS together but then couldn’t be more perfectly made for each other. I am struck by the similarities to Cross and my beloved Grey, but not turned off by it in the slightest! Thank you for recommending, and my hubby will be thanking you too 😉
Brandie: Okay just finished and absolutely LOVED it!!!!!!!! However, I am furious with you all, why didn’t you tell me that there is going to be another book?!?! It better be coming out like tomorrow!
About the series:
The Crossfire series follows the emotional and romantic journey taken by Gideon Cross and Eva Tramell.
Our journey began in fire…
Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness–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…
Gideon knew. He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other’s most private wounds… and desires.
The bonds of his love transformed me, even as I prayed that the torment of our pasts didn’t tear us apart…

- “BTY is book #1. I can’t end a book on a down note. Those types of books bum me out if the next book isn’t out, too.”
- “… There’s just more to work out that I didn’t touch on yet.”
- “It’s erotic romance. It’s one messed up woman and one messed up man, trying to heal so they can be happy together.”
- “… It had to end where it did. It’s a long book as is. Over 100K…”
OMG October thats such a long time away!!!
Woo hoo in time for my 40th.
Maryse! If your not reading kristen ashely’s knight you have to. Trust me it is the perfect follow up to bared to you I Needed to ween myself off gideon and knight was the perfet source! I’m now on two sleepless night two because of this!
Thank you so much for the review!!! I was needing a steamy read after Fifty and I have to say Gideon has been in my dreams two nights in a row 🙂 I have to say Eva got on my nerves a bit, but after all she’s been through, I can’t say I would act differently…
Mary Jo above me is right, I’m gonna check something out to cool me down lol 😉
Omg!!!! Just finished It!!!! And I’m dying for more…..I need another book like NOW…..
bummer to wait sooooooo long, hey i am in to instant gratfication, but on a brighter note I love Ms. Day just for the fact she ended bared to you on an ok note….yeah me..i dont think i would have been able to survive that after Crows Row traumatizing ending…….
October? Too far!!! Wah.
LOVED this one. Great rec as always, thanks Maryse and gang 🙂
Maryse,,.You. Never. Fail. Us. Ever.
:)… Seriously, You always find the BEST reads…I follow your blog like a bible…lol.llol…
Hug
And keep them coming…
Awww Bia thank you!!
So I read Bared to You to keep my mind of fifty 🙂 and now I need something to keep my mind off gideon ugh! Any suggestions to something similar???
Im with Bianca now I’ve finished bared to you what’s next , can’t wait till October, and going back to game of thrones book 6 just won’t do after those reads lol
Help needed lol
So ever since you mentioned this book it was on my TBR list and I finally started it yesterday during my lunch hour…this book was so gripping I finished it tonight and I work 8 hour days and am a single parent of 2. Needless to say I have pre-ordered Deeper In You and can’t wait for the series to continue. Thanks so much for being my go-to reading list…you are the best.
OMG!!!! Love d Bared to You and cannaot wait until October to read Deeper in You!!!!! I need something to read to take my mind off Gideon!!!!!! Awesome read and read it in one day!!!!!
I’m on it!! Always searching for the next big *squee* 😉
I can’t get a hold of this book! it says I have to pre order on Amazon but I thought it was released already? I’m nearly finished fifty shades and I need another book pronto!
I just finish “Fifty Shades of Grey” all three, and I must say I was having major withdrawals. “Bared to You” is definitely a page turner, and I can’t wait for “Deeper in You”.
Ditto, Mieko! Although now they’ve decided to change the name of book #2 to “Reflected in You”.
I have just finished fifty and I’m confused to what order the bared book go as there’s one with a shoe on the front cover one with rings ? Help !!!
Hi Jane!!
Just as you see it above, on this reading order guide. This is the exact reading order guide, and so far there is only one book out anyway. Book #2 will be out in October… I’m not sure about a book cover with a shoe? I’ll have to look that up.
I hope that helps!
Is Book#2 now going to be called Reflected in You?
Yes, it has just been changed to that title. Same book though (if you click on the link it will go to the “corrected” version).
I really enjoyed bared to you…cant wait till Oct. However the constent fighting between the 2 was a bit of a drag. The sex between the 2 seemed a bit far fetched. However I couldnt put it down, so thumbs up for me!
Omg I just read bared for you in basically 24 hours. I liked it almost better than fifty shades. Oct 12 is frankly way to long to wait. Anyway we can start a petition to get it released sooner like tomorrow.
Hi i have to say im not really impressed with bared to u im only a third of the way through the book and its to samey as 50 shades i think the author could have used her imagination a bit more (just personal preference) but i will finish the book to see if its worth reading the others when they come out !!
Would any recommend 50 shades after reading bared with you?
I would! Absolutely!
i have just finished bared to you and i couldnt put it down. i did like fifty shades better and thought bared to you was abit of a copy but all the same i still enjoyed it and will be getting the second one as soon as it comes out 🙂
Omg I’ve just finished bared to u ,loved it so much , can’t wait for the 2nd one to come , also read fifty shades loved them too can’t decide who I luv more lol , really need something else to read NOW !!!
I have read the 50 shades trilogy twice now and after reading Bared to You I am HOOKED and completely honest I loved Bared to You better I feel that it is a more piratical relationship between two people and can reflect it more into a relationship like my own “other than the fact my husband is not filthy rich” LOL I am dying for the 2nd book to come out and im seriously bummed I have to wait so long 🙁 I may have waited until all 3 was released before starting the series because I can’t just wait aahhhh ;p Sylvia Day your awesome and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!
Oh yes. I ADORE Gideon… and yet, I’m nervous for what they will have to face together. But that’s what I love in my books! Agreed… the wait is torture.
I agree with everyone else, October is way too far to wait for the 2nd book. I keep going ack to Gideon and Eva at east once a week. We need to find another alternative while we wait. Any suggestion? Love Sylvia Day’s writing. HELP!!!!
Maryse, thank you for the clarification on the name of the 2nd book…I was confused, it said Deeper in You at the end of Bared to You and the only names popping up were Reflected in you.
I thought it was a little like 50 Shades but it has more characters, and more realistic drama that I can relate to…except for the money:) October is a bit far away, but I like Sylvia Day’s style, so I might check out her other books. Your blog rocks!!!
I loved bared to you . I began to see them like a movie in head
omfg i cant wait for the next two books but october is ages away 🙁
cant wait 4 the next books! wish they had all been ready at same time! roll on october1
I just finished the book and I am pretty sure I will read it again and again until October…This is going to be a hard 2 months (: Great book!!!
I have book #2 reserved on Amazon. I am so happy that the 3rd book will come so quickly after #2! Thanks for the update, Maryse…as always, you ROCK!
Loved Bared to You more than Fifty Shades because it was edgier. The sex scenes in Fifty Shades were great but it was how it was written. Its an erotic romance so use some cuss words damn it. lol. I was bummed when I finished with Gideon and Eva. Can’t wait for October!!
I thought Deeper in You was the 2nd book bit it says reflected in you is. Did the name of the book change? Or did I miss something lol. Please help. Thanks
I can’t believe ŵ have to wait until October for the next book only finished the book this morning and already need to read the next one
I read 50 Shades and found myself having withdrawals after finished and wanting more. I bought Bared before finishing Freed so I’d have something to jump right into. All the similarities were annoying and hard to move passed in the beginning, but what a great read. It wasn’t as slow to start as 50 Shades was and the overall phrasing was better. I just closed on the last page and withdrawals are now setting in for Gideon and Eva.
I also heard a good book to read was Bond with me…had anyone read that?? I’m currently reading 50 shades and LOVE it, I know I’m going to want to read something simular after it….I think I will start with Bared to you after seeing these great reviews. Thanks! Again – if anyone has insight into Bond With Me, I’d like the feedback! Thanks!
OMG i cant wait until the next book comes out
ok im confused . I love bared to you and i want to read deeper in you but all the sites i have been to said reflected in you is the next book i dont know which book is it??? help me please
Deeper In You has been retitled to Reflected In You. Same book, different title. Hope that helps! 🙂
The original title was not “conservative bookstore” friendly.
thank you
what is the second book after bared to you ?????
just looked on amazon and it says 25th oct for release
I just checked via my link in the reading order guide and it’s definitely still releasing tomorrow. In fact, Sylvia is teasing us about it’s release saying “Just a few more hours….”
OMG love the books just finished reading bared & reflected carnt believe i gotta wait till december for book 3 hope its released early as it almost christmas would love to give these books as a troligy for a prezzys …… come on give ya fans a prezzy and have an earlier release date 🙂 ooow release-date thats a good title for an erotic book hahaha an takers for my title all i ask is i get dibs on reading the book first haha
I’m more of a fantasy/fairy/Wizard kind of reader
But by default I picked up Bared to You: A Crossfire Novel then got hooked and continued with Reflected in You: A Crossfire Novel both by Sylvia Day. I’m in a phramp as I don’t know where to go as to getting the same kind of style of writing with actuality the same kind of twist it had in the end please could you help me please
For ever thanking you
I just read that Intwined with you is not coming out unitl May 2013. I am really upset. If Sylvia Day write another series of books i will not read any of them until the entire series is released. I was so looking forward to the 3rd book that was suppose to be released in December 2012 and now to wait 7 months for the next one is just ridiculous. I am very disappointed. everyone i spoke to who has read these books agrees. What is the hold up?
so true “Ines golda” what is the hold-up but…!!!!!!!!!!! in the meantime do you know what i could read until then…?
How am I suppose to wait until May 2013 for Entwined with You to come out???? I’m gonna go nuts!!! I have really loved my fiance’ even more since I read the first two books (hahaha) now I have to wait 7 more months!!! SYLVIA DAY please hurry!!!!
Hi!! I loved the book Bared To You and I am obsessed but I was told the second book wont be released til the 23rd and then I just read it has been out since Oct. 3rd??? Im also confused on the fact that at the end of Bared To You it says to look forward to the 2nd book titled Deeper In You, and now that the release date is coming up I am finding a book called Reflected In You!!! Can you help me out, and please tell me what book I should be looking for and ordering and when will it really be out?
The title “Deeper in You” has been changed to “Reflected in You” – same book different title
Also – the digital ebook of Reflected in You is out now, but the actual print book was delayed for later in October.
Hope that helps!
Hi everyone!!!! Just finished bared to you and starting the next book in a couple of hours…. I completely hate that I have to wait until
May for the third book….I have no patience for that at all:-(….good read though:-)
I have loved reading the the crossfire novel and can;t whit until May for the thired book. I have read Fifty Shades of grey that was good to, But what do I do know ? may be I’ll have to do some house work
I love all Sylvia’s books but i agree i would have waited to read them till they were all out. I started because it was all over that they were going to be released only a couple months apart. Now may 2013. Way too long. I will have to read the second one again to remember 🙁 . Loved 50 shades because they were all released at the same time.
I thought it was a very poor imitation of Fifty Shades of Grey!
I thought the 1st book was a dissappointment. Then I read the second one. Wow! Can’t wait until May to read the 3rd.
I just finished Bared to You and going to start Reflected in you, I thought “Deeper in you” is the title of next sequel. Anyway, Bared to you was not a disappointment at all, and Cross is so hot. Haha <3
Hi Lala! They changed the title. Something about it possibly being “too suggestive” on book shelves in retail stores. 😉
Crossfire movie series in the near future??? 😀
My hubby ordered the series from amazon and at the first chapter of bared to you i was easily hooked. I read fifty and it was really great. But Sylvia Day’s book is amazingly hot! 🙂
Cried when he said “I love you” for the very first time. <3
If Reflected in You is the next book in the series and then Entwined in You then what is the ad in the back of the book for Deep in You? And how many books will there be in the series?
I feel so obsessed with these books. I was worried I wouldn’t
Find another book like fifty shades. I read through bared to you
In a day. Found this website as I was trying make sure what book came next. Thanks for the good blogs
I just finished Bared to You! I loved it. I also have read 50 loved them as well. Now I’m deciding whether to wait until the library gets my next book or buy it for my kindle. Dam it Gideon. 🙂
I read fifty shades l love it : going to pick up Bared to you this week!
Just wanted to say I have read both book crossfire. Amazing love them can’t wait untill entwided comes out also loved her newone ask awsome you fall inlove with the carracter they are awsome love her books
I loved Fifty Shades trology; at the end of it I felt like reading something else and I started the Crossfire triology…and now had to stop at the second book while waiting for the third book to come out….it is the same feeling I get after reading from time to time Jane Austen’s books over and over again and wanting to read a sequel to the story…for example Pride and Prejudice and many modern day sequels to it , some worth reading more than others….its like you cannot wait to know whats happening next…just because they are just not “a happily ever after ending” .
The same happened while watching Downton Abbey…you just can’t wait for the next season! They are emotionally and sexually arousing and enriching. Just like what happened for Elizabeth and Darcy in all the various P & P productions, the same feelings come across for Gideon and Eva, and for Christian and Anastasia: you feel like you own the story and the characters, and analyse who could play the main roles in potential movies.
I am so glad I discovered this series. I am more in live with these characters than the Fifty Shades trilogy. I cannot wait until the third book. Loved your post and comments! Thanks for sharing!
Do I have to read these in order I downloaded the second one thought it was the first the crossfire series
Yes they must be read in order. It is an ongoing story and the first book is amazing!
Is no one else upset-bored-mad-disappointed with the “plagerism-ness” that seems to me to be all over these series books; i.e. Crossfire and Blackststone Affair books? I had to research who was published first (including FSoG) to see who copied whom. I read FSoG first and loved it, so read these other series when recommended as good follow ups.
The characters, their backgrounds, the words used to describe them, all the same. I will forever have the word ‘mercurial’ seared in my brain. E.L. James should be incredulous.

OMG … My BFF gave me the books an i just read all 4 in 4 days just for her to tell me i have to wait for the next one to be released … She got me so hooked on the story…. it’s going to kill me to have to wait …
Please please can you tell me how long will we wait for one with you, i am driving myself crazy, i need to get the book. please
Ok I have read all four books a few times waiting for the last book. Cant wait!!! Please release soon…its driving me crazy!!! If and when you release tv series or movie it will be girlfriend night at my place. lol.
I have read them a couple of times been waitin for the last book yo come. And when I found out when it was coming out I got all excited. Soooooooo ready to read the next chapter of Eva & Gideon
The first book was good, half way through the 2nd (and I’m trying the third), it’s nothing but the same sex over and over and over and over. Now I like smut books but these are too much repetition. I’ve skipped through so much I’ve only had to read about 75% because the rest is just the same. I don’t think I will be reading anymore from this author
