Title: Bared To You
Author: Sylvia Day
Disclaimer: I'll try as best as I can to be neutral, but whenever I deemed spoilers are leaking, I'll warn with❗; highlight at own risk.


Bared to You is almost similar to 50 Shades of Grey; if I have to compare. And so far, I've only read four books of the same idea. The hero is ridiculously rich and wealthy, but unlike most where the heroine is - I wouldn't say poor - maybe average; Eva is the daughter of a multimillionaire. Though not as rich as Gideon, money isn't a problem for her. I would say that she might also be a debutante herself. She also belonged from the same class and status as Gideon, so it's not like they're living in two different worlds.

Of course the story has to start with having a strong attraction at first sight toward each other and probably a very wrong way to start a conversation/friendship. Blame Gideon for it. But it's okay, their appeal to each other is just too strong, they eventually overcame the flawed introduction.

I love how the author describes each moment beautifully. She writes them so well that I wasn't just able to picture everything as if I see them in front of my eyes, but I fell in love with her words. It's also remarkable how the whole book was only for the span of 2 weeks plus? Every day was written in detailed, I don't know how she managed it without sounding like a reporter.

I also love how easy it was for Gideon to try to commit into a relationship, and not holding himself back. He's trying his best to make things work, he's not too egoisitic and prideful - doesn't mind apologising❗except the fact that he still keeps secrets from Eva. Basically, I love how this book doesn't have too much of a push and pull relationship - it tires me reading them sometimes. I would say this book is a total fluff.

But I have to warn though, they have a lot of sex. A lot. Almost every chapter. And I did not expect this. Too much that at a point, I just skipped reading the part. But it really amazed me how she was able to write each bed scene differently and very detailed. I mean, sex is sex, and how different can it be from one sex to another, if that makes sense? I mean, if you think about it, it's just sexual intercourse - basically a verb, an action; like walking. How different can you describe walking?

I'm done for the most part, but just to recap, this book is a total fluff, if anyone is up for it. I tried to keep this simple but I'm sorry if I don't talk enough of it. I feel like I have a lot to say about this, but I realise I'll probably ended up going round and round, repeating the same thing, so it's best if I end it here, and rate it as 5/5. Call me bias but it suits my criteria and preferences.

On another note, I just watched Shokura's gesture telephone game and I had a great laugh. Jesse is so stupid but Fuma is another level! Let's just appreciate the fact they stripped on stage - not exactly to the point its sinful, but I feel like I've regressed to being a teen, getting excited looking at my crush.
And as much as I love KAT-TUN, hands down to SixTONES' performance! They didn't just nail it, I think they did so much better than KAT-TUN! I love the twist they gave to No More Pain - their dance, their voices, everything! Juri's rap is getting better, and I love Taiga's deeeep voice. It shook my ovaries. SixTONES, just debut already!
