Review: Reflected in You by Sylvia Day

Description:
Gideon Cross. As beautiful and flawless on the outside as he was damaged and tormented on the inside. He was a bright, scorching flame that singed me with the darkest of pleasures. I couldn't stay away. I didn't want to. He was my addiction... my every desire... mine.

My past was as violent as his, and I was just as broken. We’d never work. It was too hard, too painful... except when it was perfect. Those moments when the driving hunger and desperate love were the most exquisite insanity.

We were bound by our need. And our passion would take us beyond our limits to the sweetest, sharpest edge of obsession...

My Thoughts:
I love Eva and Gideon. They are just so intense. I get wrapped up in their story. They both have issues yet they just work together. This book has unexpected surprises. Secret keeping threatens to break them apart, but in this book I see growth in their relationship. What is next for these two? Can't wait to start the next book!

Saturday I spent the day in Milwaukee at the Barbara Vey Reader Appreciation Lunch. This was my first reader event and I had a great time. It was a little overwhelming at first. There were close to 500 people and 60 authors. All the authors I talked to were so incredibly nice. Authors are the best people. :)

Review: Bared to You by Sylvia Day

Description:
Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness… He was 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...

My Thoughts:
I might possibly be the last person on Earth to read this book. I have heard good things about this series, people saying that it's better than 50 Shades. It's been on my list for a while and I'm glad I finally got to it. I loved it. Absolutely. I can see the comparisons of Gideon Cross to Christian Gray. Both aggressive, dominant, rich men who are obsessed with their women to the point of stalking. I thought Eva was a great character. She's not always right, but she's strong and honest and won't settle for less than she deserves. Gideon and Eva both have pasts that they are trying to overcome. I enjoyed watching their journey as they try to figure out how to be together. They have a very intense relationship and it is nice to see the lighter moments between them as well. I really can't wait to read the next book.
