Bared to You - Terbuka Untukmu  by  Sylvia Day My rating:  3 of 5 stars Sulit banget nikmatin buku ini cuma karena aku nggak bisa sreg sama terjemahannya. Kata-katanya nggak terbangun lancar dan bahkan nyaris nggak enak diikuti. Rasanya banyak kata-kata yang agak ganjil ketika digunakan untuk mendiskripsikan, atau mengatakan sesuatu dalam buku ini. Alhasil, itu berdampak pada keseluruhan kesan yang aku dapatkan ketika membacanya. Trus, aku juga agak terganggu dengan kemiripan antara buku ini dan FSoG. Ini fanfic kah? Entahlah. Tapi nyaris terlalu mirip, bahkan lebih parah dari Fallen too Far padahal itu aku bilang mirip FSoG. Oke, jadi sekarang FSoG sering jadi referensi untuk buku-buku yang kubaca setelahnya, jangan salahkan, karena itu buku erotica pertama yang aku baca jadi selalu jadi perbandingan pertama. Soo, banyak juga adegan yang bisa kutebak kemana arahnya. Hal-hal yang mirip yang masih kuingat antara lain:  (view spoiler)

Not too many things I want to express from this book. Surely this novel become good for me starting from the middle to the back, when Cassie had brought down his defenses to start liking Angle beyond her reputation. And the more interesting how Cassie tried to make a good reputation of Angle to his mother. Initially it was a bit slow anyway, and the two families who feud did not get too much my sympathy. Only when it declared that Cassie and Angle was marry the story becomes much more exciting. Wanna this book in paperback?

Initially I was already anticipating that in the latter end of the story there would be a big change, because from the beginning to the middle of the story, ties between the two main characters were like the ending itself. I was a bit not comfortable at the ending,not comfortable at plot and conflict development. The conflict somehow become too complicated for this kind of thin novel. Not to mention how many characters here. Heck, many who chase to get Angle. I wonder how many times the scene about the purpose in this book. And it was enough to make me tired. At the end I couldn't hold this story anymore and many parts I skip.HR Plus this was the first novel that I just gave 2 stars. Wanna this book in paperback?

This book is really good!!! Although in the beginning I was wondering, how could the story was about pirates, but when the story had entered the main problem when Drew was arrested, the story became increasingly difficult to ignore. As written in the synopsis, 'who is charming and who is captive', in this novel I often asked who was the hell actually the true captain here?. I really like Gabrielle who were kind and unyielding. I love these characters like Gabby, she did not have prejudice to others and she was very easy to forgive, she could always read all situations, and immediately straighten out misunderstandings. She was also brave, honest, and always tried to reverse the situation if the situation was not in accordance with her will. Drew figure appeared quite annoying coupled with its reputation of 'a lover in every port', but it never made Gabby lied to herself that she was not too concerned with that reputation. She had the willpower to chang...
