For me, the thing that makes a book like this enjoyable is when the relationship is the foundation and the sex/conflict is more secondary and used to further that relationship. It felt like it was written by an old-fashioned person's idea of what a relationship like that would be like, what talking dirty sounds like, etc. I like a sex driven book as much as the next person, but this book was just ridiculous and so cheesy! I purchased it based on all of the stellar reviews, but it had me laughing at it during some points. Can't wait for the next book: Reflected in You. I definitely look forward to more books narrated by her. I was very surprised to see that this is the only audiobook available that she has narrated. Distinct voices for each characters and exellent tones for the love scenes. The emotions she brought to the narration were just flawless. Jill Redfield did an amazing job with all the voices. Now to the merits as an audiobook: this is fifty shades better. Eva's controlling mother and Gideon's very misterious family and you have a story that is very interesting, unpredictable and did I mention HOT! If you loved fifty and are looking for another version of the story, please note that this is different, more psychological and intense. Hot chemistry! Bring in secondary stories about the bi-sexual, also insane but ridiculously gorgeous roommate that Eva has (Cary). The interesting thing is that their sexual abuse made them a little cookoo but did not affect their libido of sexual performance. They have both been victims of sexual abuse when kids and they don't really know how to have a normal happy healthy relationship. The thing is they are kind of crazy, and not the fun kinda crazy, but the you'll-Need-therapy-the-rest-of-your-life kind of crazy.

Bared to You is the story of Eva and Gideon, two very beautiful, filthy rich people that fall madly in love. But I must clarify that I really liked both books. Just when I was starting to miss fifty a little, Bared to you came out promising to be a substitute for FSoG. Then I went into an emotional detox and started listening to paranormal romances for a few weeks. I listened to the Fifty Shades trilogy twice back to back.
