In 2012, Bared to You was nominated for the Goodreads Choice for Romance and won the 2013 All About Romance Annual Reader Poll for Best Erotic Romance AND Most Tortured Hero. My Take This is the better-written, adult version of the Fifty Shades series. Gideon is also from a tormented childhood and Day is much more subtle about the BDSM. So subtle that it’s barely there. I suspect Reflected in You will introduce it a bit more (the original title was to have been Deeper in You). We’ll have to see when it’s released in […]
