NOTE: LATEST UPDATE on this list —> September 5th 2015! (see them below, in the reader recommendations section – 37 new suggestions!) 🙂 This is a work in progress. I will personally “taste-test” each book (hehe) that makes this list before I add it to the main part. These are my favorite lists to make, but this one’s been hard on me!! There have been many recommendations and suggestions (keep ’em coming!) but not all have given me that “Fifty” feel, ya know? I mean… come on… What the heck can live up to Fifty?? It’s been said many times, that Fifty’s ruined us for all others.

Guess what guys!!? Remember how excited we all were after reading “Bared to You“? How we chatted, and went over every little detail. How many questions we had, our speculations about a few of the emotional situations to come, and how many more books there might be?

Sylvia Day – Crossfire Series Reading Order
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!
Book Review – Bared to You by Sylvia Day
Bared to You: A Crossfire Novel
And here it is… friends. Time for me to say again, “We fooooound it!!! We foooooooound it!!!” Yep. We found it. What, exactly did we find?
Weren’t some of you asking me what to read after Fifty Shades? Hrmmmm? Were you? Well. This. Is. IT!! We found it. And now I know… I know. Nothing compares to Fifty. That was our biggest problem, wasn’t it? We’ve found many “similar” books in regards to the subject matter. Some had large elements of BDSM in it, some had the “contract” with the rich, gorgeous tycoon uninterested in love. And some had none of that… just a ton of 5-star intensity that we could easily become addicted to. But none had it all. None of them were quite… “What to read after Fifty.” They were good options, but not perfect.
Book Review – Unsticky by Sarra Manning
Unsticky
Wait. I just realized… I still have no idea what “Unsticky” means. What the heck is unsticky? Interesting title for sure but it seems I may have missed the hidden meaning. *shrug* Ah well. The title might be convoluted, but the book was straightforward, and an easy read. Interesting enough to hold my interest, but I was able to put it down.
So was it like the Fifty Shades trilogy? Is Vaughn as awesome and freaky, as tormented and as infuriating, yet as sexy, as Grey? Was THIS the book that we’ve been looking for to give us another “Christian-style fix? Hrmmm…. sorry. But nope. Sorta close, but not close enough. It had everything it needed to “give me the need to read” – I mean how could one not want to read this? This looked like it would be right up my alley!
