Welcome to Litsy!

💰 I do not. Have no interest in it.

💰 💰 Sylvia Day's Crossfire series has a wealthy MC and some spicy romance! 😉 (tagged book is the first one in the series)

I‘ve thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is an intensely hot romance novel, and it felt like I was “having an affair” at times while reading it hahaha I kept this book for reading at home not out and about 😝 it was a wonderful first book and I‘ve ordered the rest of the crossfire series. Waiting in anticipation for the rest

I read this a few years ago…I thought it was way better than 50 Shades!

This is out of my comfort zone, so take that into account! #Pop23 #ABookYouThinkYourBestFriendWouldLike & #BarnesNobleChallenge #FriendFavorites. I think this was *trying* to go somewhere & I wasn‘t expecting anything earth-shattering. I liked the witty characters. I felt some of their behaviors/reactions challenged my suspension of disbelief. Not bad but not great. It didn‘t ask too much of my brain & that kind of reading‘s okay sometimes!

Sexy? Sure. Relatable or well-written? No.

I did not care for Fifty Shades, but I did enjoy these!

We‘re in the middle of an unbearable heat wave and with an old townhouse, we can only have air conditioner units upstairs. So my husband and I have spent a lot of time camped out in our room without a TV or his game systems - so he‘s using my iPad for entertainment and I find myself turning to real books from my shelf. It‘s kind of nice! Reading this one now as I have never finished the series.

Book #6 (bad romance are my insomnia reads) Mehhh this first one of the series is kind of a kink-adjacent romance. It‘s got a couple of the cliches I like least... including super rich guy with no time for romance who somehow makes time for it bc of a girl and her exceptional irresistibleness who doesn‘t know she‘s submissive until he shows her. Not my thing, but there were some steamy-ish scenes.

A friend told me this was a better alt to the 50 shades books. I think it‘s just as toxic. Sex scenes were cringey. Plus I hate where one hears or sees something then runs away instead of just talking!! Major triggers in this book that I understand are real issues, but nothing I want to read about when I‘m in the mood for romance. At least it‘s done #bookspinbingo

I found this book to be absolutely terrible. Rich, confident dude likes clumsy airhead girl. Yawn. The sex scenes were better than 50 shades, but tainted by some strange and recurring mentioning of sexual abuse. Not sexy. Try again, Sylvia.

Still playing catch up, y‘all! 😂

📚 Tagged. Overall this is one of my fave series

This day has been overwhelming so I decided to read and eat snacks. I do have youtube open and I‘m taking a reading break and watching just random videos.
Best evening in a while but we all know everything good eventually ends.
A little about the book:
So the main character seems a little annoying to me but I‘m in love with her bestfriend. I‘m also kind of confused about the story dont know why. Can‘t explain it really.
#crossfire #eveningreading

Loved it ❤️
I still have to read the following books

I've never read anything like this. Realistic feelings, passion, sex, and wildness. Definitely good what I expected and moreover what is needed now.

The untypical storyline and writing mastery grasp all my attention for the last 2 days.

Perfect choice to set the fire in daily routine. 💥

Couldn‘t resist another romance 🥰😍💓

Ugh. I really disliked this one. I enjoyed it at first, but the more I read, the more I rolled my eyes. The conflict was lame and resolved too quickly. The sex scenes were cringy and at the most inappropriate moments (for example *immediately* following her confession of horrible childhood sexual abuse). I'm pretty disappointed in this one.

And now for a little smut. I've heard this series is great!

Could‘ve been worse

I am so in love with the crossfire series!!!

I enjoyed this book. Romance, lust and a little bit of creepy. Sometimes I found myself asking the main female chatacter what she was doing.

Day 20: Favorite romance book

Bared to You is the first book in the Crossfire novels written by Sylvia Day. There are a lot of similarities between this series and the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, but these books are so much better. Eva and Gideon are inseparable no matter what they go through and that kind of passion and love is somewhat rare now. It's refreshing, seriously steamy, and kind of kinky. 😉

For those who saw my post about swapping recs with a co-worker and not loving the book that she picked - I squeezed in a quick re-read of *my* pick to make sure I wasn't losing my mind. I've read this book many times over the years and always love it! Complex characters that leap off the page and have off-the-charts chemistry. So much 🔥

If you've ever been intrigued by 50 Shades but were turned off by the bad writing, try this instead! #romantsy

So, I like me some romance. I read this a while back and now I‘ve caught the romance fiction bug again but don‘t know where to start? What are some steamy contemporary novels, similar to this, that contain no BDSM? #recommendations please!

Well,let‘s see. 🤔I liked that the characters were very flawed, despite being perfect on the outside. And the story has more layers than your usual romance novel. Even with this, the main characters couldn‘t really grab my interest like they should have. I mostly finished it because I wanted to see what the hype was about. It was ok, but just didn‘t really do it for me 😐 I doubt I would reread or even finish the rest of the series...

Bringing this in my bag today. I wonder if reading it in public will be difficult LOL! 😅😅😅#RomanceNovels #BaredToYou #SylviaDay

This series was very good. If you want a way better version of Fifty Shades of Grey, then this series is for you. Gideon Cross is a sexy, dark, broken billionaire that will steal your heart. The series is dark, steamy and a page-turner.

At the library enjoying the last few days of my vacation before I have to go back to work.

“I must‘ve wished for you so hard and so often you had no choice but to come true.”

Finally have my room coming together after my move. This is one angle of my room and one of my shelves with all my favourite books/ series, my Saje diffuser, Essie nail polishes and my slow growing Pop Vinyl collection.

Needed some light reading so I picked this up. Its ok. Feels like its trying to be 50 shades of Grey but with two fucked up characters. Also, I think that for their crazy abusive pasts they both seem pretty well adjusted. Eva especially has some amazing self insight which I find hard to believe. That being said.... I AM reading the second book because it is very light reading and thats what I need at the moment.

It wasn't anything special.

🌟I finished #baredtoyou by #sylviaday tonight & I really enjoyed it. I found it a little ridiculous, but good!🌟 #romance #erotica #adult

Such a wonderful woman! ? Thank you Ms Sylvia for making my very first "meet & greet" very memorable.

Someone mentioned the Crossfire series the other day and it's been on my mind so time to reread it 😁#osrbc #romantsy

I am completely obsessed with Gideon Cross. Completely. Obsessed. Sylvia Day must have flames shooting from her fingertips when she writes the Crossfire Series. #OSRBC #romantsy

Just finished this scorcher! I'm addicted to Gideon and Eva's explosive chemistry and I need more!!!

Very hard to get into book with this view.

Beach time, cold beer and book!! Can't ask for anything more!!!

the story started out a tad creepy, the book does have some racy scenes so if you're not into that then don't read it, but if you do then this would be a great book to read! It's sexy and has an air of mystery and drama! This book has it all! Love it!
