Is this book similar to 50 Shade of Grey... yes. Is this book different than 50 Shades of Grey... yes. The concept of the erotic romance story line is there but the story of the characters is different. Like in 50 Shades of Grey, the book is from a young adult girls point of view. This book centers around Eva Tramell journey as she starts a new job at Cross Industries at the Crossfire building. Little does she know that boss/owner of the building is who she will soon be falling head over heels for (a PG-13 meaning). Gideon Cross is the boss/owner if many buildings in New York and is a "very attractive young man" who happens to be single. Eva bumps into him the day before she actually starts work, because she wanted to time out her walk to work every morning. They have a conversation full of sexual tension before they part ways. This is the base for the start of the book.
The part of this book that is different from 50 Shades of Grey is that BOTH of these characters come from a damaged childhood. Eva and Gideon are survivors of sexual childhood abuse. At the end of book two we still are not completely sure about Gideon's past but Eva was abuse by her older step-brother. This book is about two damaged adults trying to find a way to love themselves and still be in a functional sexual relationship. It's a twisted tale of love but you do see how these two really care about each other and want to become better for one another throughout the series.
There are two books released so far, Bared to You and Reflected in You and the third book in the series is set to release June 4th- that book is titled Entwined with You. If you are a fan of 50 Shades then I don't think you will be disappointed. If you have already read the book let me know your thoughts.
