"The idea for Bared to You came to me shortly after writing Seven Years to Sin, which also deals with a couple recovering from difficult pasts. In some ways, Bared to You feels like an extension of Seven Years to Sin to me, even though they're set 200 years apart..."
--Sylvia Day

A young man forced to sell his body for money. A young lady who watched him do it. Two tormented souls brought together years later to assuage the hunger of a desperate, irresistible attraction...

With lush sensuality and unerring insight, Sylvia Day explores the underpinnings of intimacy and desire.

Praise for Sylvia Day and her novels

"Bared to You obliterates the competition...unique and unforgettable."

"The romance between Alistair and Jessica is truly not to be missed."
--Romance Reader at Heart on Seven Years to Sin

"The undisputed mistress of tender, erotic romance."

I've read a fair number of Sylvia Day's books already, but this style for her was new to me. Seven Years To Sin might just be the best historical romance I've ever read. I flat out love the way she writes, but I'm feeling rather gobsmacked by this story. Jessica and Alastair are the most intelligent, capable, and emotionally rich characters I've found in a romance. This is a beautiful read. Highs and lows. Wash, rinse, and repeat. But a depth and richness that isn't common in fiction. I had decent expectations when I picked it up and she still exceeded them.

I very much enjoyed reading Seven Years to Sin. Jessica is a widow, looking to overcome her grief and move forward with her life. To start, she decides to travel to Jamaica to deal with her property there. Alistair has long been infatuated with Jessica and when Jessica boards one of his ships to travel to Jamaica, he decides it is the perfect opportunity to make his move. Neither could anticipate the depth of emotion in their attraction, which began seven years earlier, and neither wants to see the inevitable end of that attraction...

Part of why I really enjoyed Seven Years to Sin is the erotic nature of the romance. For a historical novel, the romance is pretty hot, heavy, and bold. On Jessica's wedding day, she witnesses an erotic sexual encounter that awakened her sexual appetite, and that appetite simmered for seven years until she met Alistair again, but this time she was free to act on the attraction. The society restrictions of the 1800's are still in place, but with the setting being primarily on a boat in the middle of the ocean, those restrictions are more relaxed, allowing the characters to be more bold in their actions. Once Jess and Alistair have to re-enter society, they find that nothing is easy, and their circumstances are not what they thought at all.

Each of the characters have their own issues to overcome. For Jess, this is overcoming her past abuse and this issue gives the story a great deal of depth. Violence against women is a very serious topic, and I imagine that in the 1800's women who were victims were often desperate and with out help at all. Just when Jess thinks she is doing better at putting her past abuse at the hands of her father behind her, she finds that her sister is dealing with abuse. Hester (Jessica's sister) has an entire story liner herself in this novel, and I really felt for her and her situation. While Jess is off having her hot romance, Hester is home living in terror and desperation. The way these stories combine creates for a very well rounded book, it is not a frivolous romance story, and has a sense of realism and believability.

Overall, I really liked Seven Years To Sin, it is a well written and developed story full of sensual romance and provoking plot twists. Alistair is a wonderful historical hero, the type of man who defy's expectations and succeeds in whatever he does. Jessica is a woman who must put aside her past to embrace her future. Together, their story is beautiful, romantic, and a very good read.

...aaaah how delectably deliciously fun this story was. Full of tortuous romance and drama. Ms. Day has such a fantastic talented ability of laying well developed attention to detail and transporting the reader so deftly to another era. Character descriptions are strong, exquisite and precise.

Yummy Alistair Caulfield has been attracted to Lady Jessica Tarley since before her marriage. Now that she is widowed, his seductive plotting and planning to persue her are obscenely direct and blatantly aggressive. He's known for his gigolo behavior as a means to make money. Lady Jessica remembers his past behavior well, unaware that he's "moved on" from such antics. Nevertheless, his past behavior rises to follow and haunt him as he persues Lady Jessica. She perceives him as nothing more than someone to ruin her prestigious reputation~~someone not to be taken seriously in a relationship, but rather someone who enjoys occassional "romps". Yet she's attracted to him and eventually yields to her desire for him...much to his delight.

He fears his reputation will ruin her pristine social standing. He fears he'll corrupt her even though he wants her to be his and his alone. He realizes his reputation has made him unacceptable and unsuitable however he desires her to the point that he doesn't allow anything to thwart his seduction of her.

But Lady Jessica eventually falls in love with Alistair and his past doesn't matter. She fears she won't be "enough" for such an experienced worldly rogue or that he'll become bored with her.

Then there's the attraction between Jessica's younger sister, Hester and Alistair's best friend, Lord Michael of
Tarley...<----who is also the brother of Jessica's deceased husband...making Michael the brother-in-law to Jessica. All this is going on along the side-lines. Michael and Hester are strongly attracted to each other, except Hester is married already to Edward, Lord of Regmont (dum, dum duuuuuuum).

I loved this story with all his nail biting angst and drama...and Ms. Day doesn't disappoint with her deep tactic message(s).. of child and domestic abuse. No holes...no loose threads. At times this story was sobering and at other times it was just so much gosh darned fun. Kudos!

Not quite sure the liberties of women and the esteem they are held in this book by menfolk are historically correct, but still it's a fun read!

If you're feeling into a bit of period drama and fun, this book will do it.
Haven't finished it yet, but I reckon it's worth the binge-read now and again.

With a lot of depth and reminders of unbearable consequences of abuse, yet somewhat shallow at places. Overlayered with romance and erotic.
The heroes seem trustworthy, their struggles honest.
Yet I’m not totally convinced at their sometimes very sudden and deep insights, that’s the moments where I lost the story.

Ho acquistato Seven Years To Sin perché Sylvia Day stessa ha dichirato di aver tratto ispirazione da Alistair e Jess per scrivere la serie Crossfire (Bared To You - Reflected In You - Entwined With You - piu' altri due titoli ancora da pubblicare). Seven Years To Sin è straordinario, ed è un vero peccato che la storia non abbia avuto un seguito.
Come sempre, sono stata talmente avvinta dalle intense emozioni che i due protagonisti condividono da non riuscire a smettere di leggere fino alla fine del romanzo. Una grande lettura sotto l'ombrellone.
