Bared to You - Review

 I have no words for how amazing this book was. From the beginning to the end I was hooked on both Gideon and Ava. I enjoyed seeing how these two damaged people tried to make things work. Not to mention Gideon Cross is a dirty man! Oh my goodness, I just couldn't believe how dirty this mans mouth was! I mean wow. Not only that but if there was a character whose dominance like...leaked out of pages in attempts at breaking the fourth wall, then it's definitely Gideon Cross!! Watching these two (and Carey) go through the doubts and craziness that is life has been great. I mean there is probably no other character that I relate to more the Ava, in a lot of her reactions to situations. I can't wax poetic enough about this book. I can't wait to read the next one in this series which technically won't be a re-read. It will be the first time that I will read the second book. I definitely feel a hangover coming on after this one. 

The spice in this book was top tier. I mean it was literal perfection. I don't think I've read a book that I could say that the spice was perfection. This one was it. 100 out of 5. Overall, this book manages to mix the spice and the story together amazingly well. It tells the story of two people are carrying a lot of baggage but want to be better for each other. I love that for them. They both have things that they use as crutches emotionally but with each other they are able to learn and heal from them. I liked that it showed that therapy can be a positive thing. Ava definitely uses it often and you can see how she is able to employ the things that she has learned into her real life. It also helps you to see how some of the behaviors that we might use ourselves can be damaging to someone who might have our coping mechanism as their trigger. I'm not saying that they were perfect in their actions but it definitely shows how they were able to use the tools that they were given to help not only themselves but each other. I would HIGHLY recommend this series. It has the perfect balance of being smutty with telling you a story. I loved it.
