AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT:
SYLVIA DAY
*from the author’s website*
the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of over a dozen novels written across multiple sub-genres — contemporary, fantasy, historical, futuristic, science fiction, romantic suspense, paranormal romance, and urban fantasy — under multiple pen names: three! A wife and mother of two, she is a former Russian linguist for the U.S. Army MilitaryIntelligence.
Sylvia is a lifelong California resident who loves to travel. Her adventures have taken her to Japan, Holland, Germany, France, Mexico, Jamaica, and all over the United States. Born in Los Angeles, she grew up in Orange County (the O.C.), and later lived in Monterey, Oceanside, and the Temecula Valley.
She is a Japanese-American who enjoys the many Japanese cultural events in Southern California as well as frequent family jaunts to Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, and Sea World. Her childhood career aspirations were few — become a dolphin trainer at Sea World or a bestselling novelist. Obviously, the dolphin trainer career took a back seat.
A year after she first sat down at the keyboard, Sylvia sold her first book to Kensington Brava and three years later — to the day — she sold her 15-17th single title books. In addition to her novels, she’s written numerous novellas and short stories for both print and digital-first release. Sylvia’s work has been called an “exhilarating adventure” by Publishers Weekly and “wickedly entertaining” by Booklist. Her stories have been translated into Russian, Japanese, Portuguese, German, Czech, Italian, French, Greek, and Thai. She’s been honored with the RT Book Reviews Reviewers’ Choice award, the EPPIE award, and the National Readers’ Choice Award, as well as multiple nominations for Romance Writers of America’s prestigious RITA® Award of Excellence.
Sylvia travels extensively in conjunction with various speaking engagements. In addition to presenting workshops before writing groups around the country, she is a frequent panelist at events such as the RT Book Lovers Convention, Romance Writers of America’s National Convention, and Comic-Con.

Book Description(from Amazon)
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness…
He was beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot. I was drawn to him as I’d never been to anything or anyone in my life. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily…
Gideon knew. He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other’s most private worlds…and desires.
The bonds of his love transformed me, even as I prayed that the torment of our pasts didn’t tear us apart…

Our “Thoughts” on “Bared To You” by Sylvia Day!
—
HAPPY READING!!
Let me start by saying I loved Bared to You. Next let me say I would not have read it right now if I had known it was the first part of many because I can't stand waiting to see how things turn out!!! I have absolutely no patience when it comes to waiting to finish a story I usually like to finish it in one sitting. If you can get a message to Sylvia PLEASE tell her to hurry with the next one!!!
I have this one on my TBR already. Since I first read the blurb, it caught my eye. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Thanks to Debbie for letting me know it is part of a series. I am like her and have issues with waiting for books to come out.
I am not generally a romance reader, but curiosity got the best of me with all the hype over "50 Shades of Grey." I picked it up, and while I wasn't thrilled with the writing, the story was intense and I was hooked. I've reread the series multiple times, and I was looking for something else that I could get into like that. When I found "Bared to You," it was very similar, and the writing was so much better. Unfortunately, I breezed through it in 2 days, and I've read it a second time since. I also read through both books of the Guardian series, and was hoping there would be more of that. This is a relatively new genre for me, but I am really hooked on the few stories I've read from this author, and I'm looking into some of her others while I wait for the next "Crossfire" and "Guardian" books to come out. This is a very bad addiction I've developed. 🙂
