‘Bared to You’ is the first part of a trilogy which focuses on the romantic happenings between two characters, Eva Tramell and Gideon Cross.
“Our 2013 books left behind index has certainly revealed that the Fifty Shades phenomenon has created an appetite for Britons wanting to read more erotic romantic literature.
“Over the last three years our annual books left behind study has shown a decline in celebrity biographies but a rise in fiction books especially for thriller and romantic trilogies. A good book offers the ultimate escape which is a great companion whilst travelling.” Shakila Ahmed, Travelodge spokeswoman commented.
