Turns out we didn’t get either of those hypotheses. When I grabbed Entwined with YouI thought two things: one) was that we were going to learn more about Gideon as a whole (possibly his point of view) and two) it was end of the series. Also, Reflected in Youtakes a turn I never expected and gives this series a much darker feel than Fifty Shades. It’s present right from get-go in Bared to You and continues into the next books. What I liked about the Crossfire series that Fifty Shades develops more in the second and third books is the suspense. I could see why they both were attracted to each other and love each other more so than Anastasia and Christian (in Fifty Shades I think it’s clearer why Christian needs Ana in his life more so than why Ana needs Christian in hers). The relationship dynamic between Gideon and Eva is also easier for me to see. Overall I would say the BDSM element is stronger in Fifty Shades than Crossfire which for me is an added bonus because I’m not the biggest BDSM fan. But what interested me about Bared to You was that it stars two dark characters that have tragedy filled pasts that the reader gets to uncover.Īs expected, there are some parallels between the two series in terms of the events the two leads find themselves in (read: jealous exes, insecurities and tormented pasts) but they do differ once you get past the first novel in the Crossfire series. As much as some people didn’t like Fifty Shades, I actually enjoyed the romantic suspense and drama that it brought–I just could have done without all the sex. I won’t lie: I will admit that I read Bared to You because it was linked to Fifty Shades of Grey.
