Reviews with content warning for Rape - Bared to You

Långsökt bok. Hoppas det blir bättre i dom andra. Det var mer sex än story vilket sänkte betyget. En story är det viktiga för mig, jag vill bli frustrerad, ledsen, glad, arg men majoriteten kände jag inget (med undantag för några kommentarer som fick mig att skratta).

Har 2 till av serien hemma så ska läsa dom och sen se om dom sista är värda att köpa

4.0

Let me start by saying this series begins very similar to Fifty Shades of Grey, a workplace romance with a control obsessed billionaire, HEAPS of steam, and themes of surviving sexual abuse trauma. Looking at other people’s reviews, the feedback is completely split; half felt like it was an exact copy of FSOG, and a poor one at that, while the other half LOVED it because it scratched the same itch and said it was the better of the two 🤷‍♀️ Me personally, I gobbled it up happily!

The relationship between the main characters is quite the ride. They spend almost the entire series fighting and making up, a new miscommunication each time they see each other, giving some serious whiplash. Though they have a decidedly toxic relationship, I found myself still yearning for a HEA. Additionally, I found the scenes with their therapist most significant. Though you shouldn’t take a billionaire romance novel too seriously, there were some very insightful and valuable takeaways. It was quite an unexpected aspect that I think will stick with me the most.

The first three books were written in standard single POV, whereas the last two advanced to dual. This lent a hand to adding initial mystery and slight mistrust towards the MMC, and then evolved into well deserved understanding of his perception and devastation in the later books.

Overall, I really enjoyed the characters as well as the plot, but sometimes the author’s writing style was a bit too wordy and redundant.
