Summary: (from goodreads) Our journey began in fire... Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness-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... "When it comes to brewing up scorchingly hot sexual chemistry, Day has few literary rivals." -- Booklist

So this book just happen for me. I was at the store and saw it on the shelf and something about it caught my attention, so I bought it. Why did I buy it when I knew I had a ton of reading books at home, who knows but I did. I am glad I did after I read it. To think I could have been missing out on this story and series. I have never read anything from Day before but you can bet that will be changing. Bared to You is being compared to Fifty Shades, you can take that as a good thing or bad. It all depends if you are fans of the type of story Fifty Shades is, then you will be a fan of Bared to You. Now as far as plot comparison, they are somewhat similar but they do have separate entities. I would assume what makes they comparable for the crowd is to label them both as erotica. Other than that they have minds of their owns. 

In Bared to You, you meet Gideon (holy smokes hot) Cross and Eva Tramell. What I loved about Bared to You both characters are messed up with issues. Its not just him and she is the submissive again, nope. Eva has her own demons to fight while Gideon does too. So when they end up together, sparks fly but you have to read to see if they fly in a positive way or end of the world way. The journey we follow between both these exciting, energetic and somewhat wacko characters is a page-turner. 

I am excited to read what next, when Reflected in You comes out in October. I recommend to mature adults, and definitely over the age of 18. I think if you enjoy reading romance, erotica and drama, then Bared to You will appeal to your taste.
