Bared to You by Sylvia Day

So many reasons to love this book. First of all the thought of therapy used and appreciated is phenomenal! It is usually not entered into so willingly so for that I applaud the author. I especially liked the way that Eva explained Dr Peterson and how his therapy and the set up was a “safe place”. She goes on to explain how this huge place is used to treat and to hang out. That therapy is not over after the session, it is constant support. Without giving a spoiler, it was indeed a safe place for Eva.

My next reason is the sub-characters. I did love Cary and their friendship. I really thought that Eva has just one person, Cary, to trust and confide. He had a similar issue to Eva’s and they both together embraced therapy and healing. I was deeply in love with Cary until his messed up freaky party. I will forgive him eventually.

The next is the complex families. We know Eva and her Mother are equally in need of therapy for the same sort of reasons. How she goes about trying to control her daughter is laughable. She has resources and when she does things like cell phone tracking she doesn’t hide her stalker tendencies. So yeah I loved her too. Step Dad was aces in my book too. Mr Stanton was just Eva’s only protector before Gideon. Eva never confided in her real father what she experienced, so I think she had a certain bond with her Step Dad. Eva’s real dad is a cop so maybe with the available weapons, she should keep her secret!

Before the big deal I will say I loved Scott, Gideon’s assistant and Mark Eva’s boss. Both of those characters added a light side to an otherwise dark story. There was a point when Scott tells Eva how he enjoyed seeing his boss smile and tells her he never saw him so happy. That was special to me. Mark was so happy to get Eva as an assistant and was not even a little reluctant to have a newbie assist him on his first big presentation. I liked how he showed a weakness right away by telling her that he would figure it out as they went along. Not too many bosses would admit they never had an assistant and show weakness the way he did. Mostly they would fake being a leader. He looked at her as though she was his equal. So big smooches Scott and Mark.

Now the deep dark, handsome, amazing, intelligent, and captivating Gideon Cross. Where do I begin? Well he is all that! When he finally opens up to Eva and makes a few big mistakes he tells her right away that he will not let her go. Just straight out and right to the point, he let her know that SHE was his weakness. I hope I am not alone in my perception of that one. But I loved the way that he made no secret about his wanting to posses her. It had little to do with wanting to top her too. He never felt like that with anyone and he never let anyone into his home, life, and business before. This book did not get into the depths of Gideon s past, but I bet it will be shocking. Also, loved him a little more cause he didn’t really hesitate and said he would go to see Dr. Peterson. Bravo Gideon you got extra credit. I hope I can show him how pleased I am (delusional me?? nah)

The ending had me anticipating the next book. I think there are 3 scheduled for this series. Now I must add Gideon to my book boyfriend list and wait for the next book.

Stalk me.

 

Let me first say I love Keatyn and Cush! More than them I loved Abby and Tommy and the total non traditional household they have. Surprisingly Keatyn is very in control even though she has too much freedom. I thought Sander was an ass I would have tossed him to the curb. I loved that reveal though, very good stuff there. Brooklyn was all mine. He was what I think Tommy would have been had he not met Abby. Just free and chill with no expectations and no social suicide nonsense. I hated V and Ri too and I felt bad for Keatyn so many times cause those girls were bad. Mandy on her knees! That got me in a rage!! Aside from that the way V handled that ordeal was classic and she was Oscar worthy!!

It was a really fun read. I enjoyed the Vincent saga too! I thought she was going to fall for him for a little while. The drama she brought on was intense.

 

What I wanted was for Cush to be in the ending. I wanted her to get behind the safety of the electric fence and see Cush who of course tells her he loves her and that Garrett and James were scared for his safety too. I really wanted that. Can I get a reprint, rewrite or a chapter in the next book that tells me he is ther? Please??? I know this is going to be a great series but please gimme my Cush!! Single pringle ready to mingle

“Damn Disney, and all their happily-ever-after, unrealistic, bullshit stories.” ~ Keatyn 

“You’re single. I’m single. Let’s mingle.” ~ Cush 

“A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” ~ Brooklyn.

Love Unscripted (Love, #1)
First word that comes to mind is saga! This was a pretty long book compared to most I read. I am NOT complaining at all. The best thing about the writing and the story was the ups and downs. They are not really drastic and I was very invested in the characters and the threads that held them together. Taryn best friends Marie, Tammy, Gary and Pete were just that best friends. Those are the kind of people that I think we all need. The ones who don’t judge, critique, or lie.
The way the book started had me interested from page 1. The way Ryan ran through Taryn’s bar needing shelter and they talked for a while you felt the need for Ryan to have a person whether male or female that he could trust. So yes, Ryan and Taryn both had trust issue and that was the forever thorn in her side. They started out as friends gradually learning about each other. It took quiete a bit of pushing to get Tqaryn to taske a chance. She was cheated on by her fiance and found it easy to turn down every man who asked to date her. Being she is the owner of a pub, men were plentiful, none can hold a candle to Ryan.
When they realized they really cared for each other, they both fought it, Taryn fought more, but they went slow. Taryn was no nonsense and didn’t drool over Ryan and more importantly she didn’t need him, she decided she wanted him.
The family time they shared was a refreshing change for Ryan, which he needed. The banter between Ryan and Nick his brother was adorable. The silly stories that families tell when they are getting to know Taryn were so amusing. Jonelle who is his sister inlaw took a liking to Taryn immediately as well as his parents. It seemed like everyone knew they were perfect for each other but themselves.
About half way through the mystery starts to begin its set up. It was a hell of a mystery too. Body guards, crazed fans, stalkers, and orders of protection. While it all unfold you will be amazed at the outcome of it too. I think that was one of the more compelling parts to the book.
I say read and enjoy this one knowing the sequel is out. The book has everything I love to read love, life, friends, and of course a lot of mystery. Extra credit for love and steam!!!
