Reflected In You by Sylvia Day


reflected in you
Sex is a powerful tool. Sometimes, it can even be a weapon.  There are people who know how to use sex to their advantage to get what they want.  I too have fallen victim to it.  Just like Eva "[t]here'd been a time when I'd turned to sex to feel affection, confusing momentary desire with genuine caring."  I guess that's why I really like this novel.  I feel there are times that I can relate and empathize to the characters because I have felt and experienced what they are going through.

Reflected In You is the second book in the Crossfire series.  The relationship between Gideon and Eva has really deepened in this book.  At the start of the novel, it can be seen that the thought of two days away from each other is unthinkable and unbearable for them both.  Being the intense individuals that they are, that is expected.  However, something as consuming as their affair is not healthy (and their therapist shares my opinion).  Two days is not that long a time for one not to be able to endure the separation.  They have become too dependent on each other and I think that it is bordering to something obsessive.  Isn't it suffocating if you're with your partner all the time?  We need our space once in a while, some "me" time, don't we?

Bared To You by Sylvia Day


bared to you
I was curious to read this book since I read the Fifty Shades trilogy and I heard or read somewhere that Gideon Cross is the new Christian Grey.  But I like this one than Fifty Shades (my apologies to Christian Grey fans and those of the trilogy).

I admit I have the hots for Gideon Cross, who wouldn't?!  He's rich, smart and powerful, sexy and confident.  I was thrilled when Gideon and Eva first me.  Wow!
He wasn't just beautiful; he was... enthralling.  He was the kind of guy that made a woman want to rip his shirt open and watch the buttons scatter along with her inhibitions.
I felt exactly the same way when I was reading their first encounter!
