yes, always post; we don't care unless you write something bad about Sylvia or the Crossfire series.....like "I am tired of waiting, not going to read anymore of this series or any books of Sylvia Day.." then we get really mad. So keep everything postitive.
Yes, I caught that twitter by reading her posts to the right....now I really can't wait for 11/18/2014

On Sylvia's community page, she is having a contest for why we love Cary....since I am not on any social networks, here is my opinion. I don't necessary love him, but he is not one of my favorites. He tries to be a good and loyal friend in all ways to Eva, but he has put her in some rather bad situations. For instance, when he didn't tell her who the band was when she went to the concert...she could have been better prepared, or not have gone at all; also the famous cluster that she came home to. What if Gideon had not shown up in time? Would Cary really have stepped in and stopped Ian? That also put Gideon in a bad situation with Ian sueing him, but as always Gideon handled everything. He protected his Angel.

I would like to find out who is behind the sex video other than the wannabe videographer Sam Yimara. I also want Eva to confront Brett about it and push him to the curb. If Eva wanted to be friends so bad with him, why wait all these years to do so.....this relationship (if you want to call it that) has to be OVER!!
-
Hi jmhope, I agree with you, but I hope not before she gets a big fat glimpse of Eva's engagement / wedding ring & Gideon's. She needs a reality check...you've been kicked to the curb Corrine!
Hopefully hubby showed her the blurb on page 6.....
-
All of the comments by everyone sound great to me. Maybe they are also celebrating the death of the sex video as well!!
Good point, well made!!! Hopefully that is true!! Now if only Corrine has flown back to France with her hubby!!
-
thanks for posting Kristen....
obviously Gideon is taking Eva away someplace nice on his private jet!!! Also, probably more steamy S*X too. Lucky girl....wonder if it is where they got married
-
notice on the Community section with Sylvia's tweets and facebook postings, that a read a chapter a day and two on the weekends will begin on Monday. I personally couldn't stick to just one chapter daily, anyway, I am saving my reading for my upcoming trip in October....I wonder if there will be postings with insights and thought for each chapter....seems we have done that with our forum in the past when we were waiting for EWY

Hi.. New here and this is my first post. I read all three books in 3 days and have reread them as well. I am not sure if this is the right place to post this so forgive me if it's not. Some of what I would like to say may have already been discussed but I am going to ask anyway. Does anyone else think that the shrink treating Corrine is Dr. Lucas' wife, the red head Gideon slept with? It has been driving me crazy especially when she told Eva that she has seen two women go crazy over Gideon. Also, as to the pen on the cover of Capitvated by you... Signing of divorce papers???? I truly hope not.
Welcome to the forum....hope you enjoy it as much as I have...
We don't really know who the red head is....some of us think it is Ann Lucas, but I think that Gideon would have noticed the name of the Dr treating Corrine on the pill bottles. Sylvia so far is not giving anything away. Sylvia likes mysterious redheads, they are mentioned quite frequently; a redhead at the first dinner ( and Sylvia did say that that wasn't Anne), Gideon's receptionist, a redhead involved in the cluster at the end of BTY....you get my drift
Regarding the pen, the concensus think that maybe the pen belonged to Gideon's father. By the way, I was watching a repeat of Murphy Brown, and Frank mentioned owning a "mount blanc" pen.. and I was thrilled that I knew what they were talking about :)
-
I see the basketball with the thumb, the dice, like Kristen says a game board, maybe Monopoly, and in the upper right hand corner your guess is as good as mine.....wish the picture wasn't so dark.
Wonder what Sylvia was doing in LA this time? More Crossfire series negotiations?
-
One thing I always found funny about the crossfire books is that everyone has rockin bods, but they eat the worst foods. Like meatloaf and enchiladas. Eva has been to that taco stand quite a few times....
Like in BTY when Eva first ate with Mark and Steven, and Steven asked where does all the food go, her reply...."with me to the gym." We don't really know if Gideon eats bad food, he always seems to have take out delivered to his home; but as stated by others later, they both go to the gym, have personal trainers, etc. We don't really know what Cary does to stay in shape, other than scr*w around alot.
Another pet peeve of mine, when Eva's father visited on both occasions, she didn't take off from work. He flies across the country to visit and spend time with her, and she didn't even take any time off to be with him. Especially on the last visit when he was so upset. If she had taken the day off, maybe Victor and Monica wouldn't have hooked up....
tomorrow is "teaser Tuesday" !!!
-
Had a new thought. Can the excerpt be linked to the earlier teaser when Christopher says to Gideon: "Don't tell me how to do my job and Don't get in my way or I'll shove you out..."
doubt seriously if Christopher has the "balls* to engage in fisticuffs with Gideon.....and if he did, Gideon wouldn't be bruised but Christopher.
-
This is actually a quote from Bared to You, but Gideon makes me melt.
yeah, at the very top of the "quote" it says Bared To You. this happens at the end of BTY when Eva comes home to the cluster and gets in the shower.....
still nice to get thou!!!

Hi Biarbocalb,
That is such an interesting photo! Question: If MoMo and Richard are on the "rocks", who spilled the beans and just exactly which beans were spilled? Affair? Adultery? Or something else?  Questions, questions, questions...
I don't think page six has anything to do with Stanton and Monica. The Crossfire series has mostly been a day to day accounting of the life of Eva and Gideon....that said, Stanton and Monica were together at the dinner/benefit where the news of Gideon and Eva's engagment got out.....the rings and all. Don't know when Eva told Monica....remember Monica said when they were getting "dolled" up...He has to ask you first
So we don't know whose "love" is on the rocks; maybe Corine and Giroux ?? I am still going with the theory of after sex and before San Diego shower and Valentine's Day treat of the engagment confirmation.
I wonder if we will be getting two teasers or photos a week like we did with EWY depicting chapters. Just 61 days to go!!!!
-
I think there was security video outside the club where they had just left I believe that is how they pegged Nathan and that is when Gideon decided he had to deal with Nathan on his own; he was terrified for Eva...
was this written somewhere or we just assuming this? A good theory though
-
I think the time of day is quite late. Eva as per usual probably got her shower and fell asleep on the couch waiting for Gideon. When she woke and couldn't find him she was understandably worried since he had sent her the earlier flirtatious text...
I agree about the time of day
....think the bruising came for working out with his personal trainer, making sure that the trainer is allowed to fight back. Maybe after several sessions with Dr. Peterson suppressed memories are coming back, which is making Gideon angry.
In today's Tuesday Teaser, it is a combo of photos....a man showering (Gideon of course) and page six. Think that is the tidbit that we had earlier about Eva's engagment and the Gideva baby watch....wedding by end of year. (this was an earlier treat)

I saw the price drop to $7.99 from $9.99 u.s. Kindle ... But now Amazon says it's unavailable . Weird .
Looking forward to book 4... Hopefully we get lots of answers and a lot less drama (asking too much ? ). Can't wait to see what the pen stands for, the uk version usually has Eva's stuff on the covers .. Anyone think it's a necklace ?
I think Cary is good for Eva ... I don't blame him for being upset with her for not telling him about Gideon .. I mean they live together. Does he even know who beat him ? Did Eva tell him ? I don't remember .
Couple more months !
as far as we know, Eva hasn't told Cary who (the police suspect) beat him up. Not sure if the police even have proof that Nathan was the guy who attacked him.
-
I just finished re-reading the excerpt. I would like to know how and why Gideon has bruises? Did he get into another fight with someone? CBY so far seems a little dark, I guess that is to be expected since Gideon's story is finally coming out.
When he asked Eva why she was at the penthouse, she should have also responded with "I live here don't I?"
-
I also had a question while I was doing the last read-through (actually bought the paperbacks so I can get them signed in November!) - why do we never hear of Monica's second husband Mr. Mitchell? We obviously hear about Barker and Stanton took care of all of the legal stuff...so what happened in between?
The only thing we do know about Monica's husband #2 is that he was a gambler; Eva referred to him as a "whale". Maybe Monica got rid of him because of his gambling, maybe she had to pay off his debts, that is why she is so consumed with money and having it.
I really want to know how Monica and Eva survived until she did marry Barker. We don't know how old Eva was when they got married. Remember Monica's family disowned her when she decided to go thru with the pregnancy.

Calling all " OLD" forum members...Come back to the family!!!
don't know if I am considered one of the "OLD" members, but I have been here all year long!!!
can't wait for 11/18/14, and then the writing will really begin!!
-
the new teaser today.....maybe Cary and Eva are looking at the refurbished penthouse apartment that they now share with Gideon?
-
Oh happy day!!! I was finally able to pre-order CBY !!! Today is Tuesday teaser!!! I hope that Sylvia gives us a chapter countdown with photos like she did with EWY. I am soooo excited!!!!
-
The pen looks like it could be an old style Mont Blanc (I think that may be the Mont Blanc snow cap flat version just visible on the top???) so could this be his father's pen?
Don't know what a "Mont Blanc" pen is or snow cap....but if you look closely at the pen you can see the initials GC which could stand for either Gideon Cross or his father Geoffrey Cross.....so you could be on to something
-
Does anyone else feel a certain way about Cary? First of all, he basically lives off of Eva; I'm not saying he owes her anything since that is the arraingment that they had made, but I also don't feel like he needs to question where she is/give her a hard time for not disclosing more of what she has been up to during EWY.
Most important to me is how judgement he is of her. She walked in on his orgy and she barely gave him any grief about it, but he has nothing but opionions and, again, judging comments about her relationship.
He's supposed to be a friend, but I just feel like some of her self-esteem issues could be due to how he makes her feel about hee choices.
It might just be me though...
they have a co-dependent relationship forged thru therapy group. Cary could be a better friend, he seems to be always thinking of himself and not of others. He has put Eva is awkward situations; like the orgy, juggling both Trey and Tatiana at the apartment, etc.

Hello everybody I was wundering why Monica had to wear Eva's clothes after sleeping with Victor. Did he rip her dress of of her????
probably, or they were in disrepair and people could tell that she wouldn't be entirely presentable out in public

I was thinking maybe sunglasses, they are dark....but I don't see a gun, if only the photos were brighter, but then they wouldn't be "teasers"....
I have been reading some of the quotes or comments that people are posting for the chapter read along, can't believe some are still asking when the 4th book is coming out!!!?!
