  1. i wouldn't get my hopes up about this.....remember the negotiations fell through with Lions Gate and the plans with the Crossfire series.
  2. I am confused too. In OWY when  Gideon was in Brazil and Ava was in Ibiza, when she went to join him how did she, her Mom and Cary have visas already and not the girls that went with them?
  3. broke down and got the The Marked Series bundle. Just finished Eve of Chaos.  The ending was very up in the air!!. Who was the "dark" stranger and was there a ring in the glass.?  Hope the Eve of Sin City has some answers and I guess I have to get Eve of Warfare if I am going to get some answers. I did enjoy reading them even though at times they were really confusing. Maybe we can discuss these books since we don't have the Crossfire series anymore. Cheers Â
  4. also I read in her sylviaday.com website that if you bought the kindle version thru Penguin that you would later receive the song. Don't know how that works, but she did say more info to come. I'll wait and see
  5. Happy Birthday Gideon Cross 9/22/16. Â Also the pseudo anniversary of Eva and Gideon. Â Too bad "Vidal Records" choose 9/23/16 to release "Golden". What a slap in the face. I still miss Gideva. Â Laters Â
  6. Any story about Monica's past would have been better than the one we got. That said I too miss Gideva, their story could gone on for many more books. I think Sylvia was tired of writing their story and wanted to move on to something else. Â I loved the Crossfire series and am sad not to have something to look forward to. still upset with Gideon for his Cinco de Mayo mishap with those two women. Lost a little respect for him then. Â Miss you guys. Laters
  7. Nothing really was said about the real Monica, other than she wrote the parents obituary, she did have children and she had a last name that started with D.  That was confusing for "Monica " to take her sister in law's name . Her whole backstory was weird Hope this helpedÂ
  8. I was glad that Blake didn't feel he needed to see Sophia after he got that phone call from that Dom who owned The Club. Â Reminded me of Corrine from Crossfire and her attempts to get Gideon backÂ
  9. I enjoyed the series. It did have a HEA. At least all the storylines were wrapped up. Erica is too forgiving , especially of Daniel, even if he was her father. He hit her, threatened her and made her leave her boyfriend and had his own step son killed . At least he came through in the end. I'm still not sure of Resi. would have liked more of the pregnancy. Overall very good
  10. Well I have just finished book 4. It has been good. A cross between FSOG and Crossfire series. Just can't put my brain around letting someone hit you repeatedly (with hand, paddle, or belt) and have it turn you on. Poor Erica can't catch a break. Hope they both get their HEA. Â Starting book 5 nowÂ
  11. I downloaded the series to my Kindle. I will have a lot of reading to do during my upcoming holiday!! Did you ever read any of the books I suggested by Sylvia? If so, I hope you will enjoy them. Glad that you liked the Calendar Girl series; that was some really HOT reading especially May in Hawaii.
  12. I think the point trying to be said was the headlines read Bachelor party in Brazil. How did Hall know where Gideon was?  You know tabloids they 'll print anythingÂ

    One With You

    Sylvia. Loved OWY but... Â How did that photo of Gideon get taken in that VIP section. Thought Gideon only did stuff like that at his f**kpad. Â He should have known betterÂ
  14. Patricia Ann is the Hacker Series really good. ?Want to make sure before I spend $35.95 for the kindle bundleÂ
  15. what is so upsetting about the picture, is that Gideon said he only had sex (of any kind) in his hotel fuc**ad. He even took Corine there and stated in OWY he couldn't spend the night at the hamptons with her because of his nightmares and he couldn't f**k Corine there. Like how shocked he was with himself in BTY when in his office he kissed Eva and almost got carried away. He said in my GD office in the middle of the GD day.....In CBY he said he may not rent out Eva's apartment again because it held so many fond memories. The first time that he couldn't wait to get her to his pad.....he remembered putting his hands and mouth on her ( and he had never done that before). Through out the series he maintained that personna and to see (imaging) in that photo what he was doing is quite disturbing. What is truth and what is not?
  16. Yes, the Georgian Series is complete. They are 4 stand alone stories, but some of the characters are featured in each book. Afterburn/Aftershock was good as are the following: Spellbound, Seven Years to Sin, Pride and Pleasure, Lucien's Gamble, The Stranger I Married, All Revved Up, and last but not least the Shadow Stalkers mini-series all Sylvia Day books. Anderson wrote the Cold Justice series, they are stand alone stories with some characters featured in other Justice titles and Grant wrote the Evidence Series. You should enjoy them all!! Laters Â
  17. I enjoyed the Georgian Series. I mentioned Rachel Grant and Toni Anderson in another post. The Calendar Girl series. Â Really anything that Sylvia Day writes. Â I miss Gideva too
  18. Chapter 12 page 180 BTY (paperback)
  19. Since the Crossfire series only covered 3-4 months Ireland is still 17 going on 18. I'm thinking that Sylvia is waiting for her to be in college or almost graduating....23-24 years old. We don't want her to be "jail bait" or Gideon would really flip out!!
  20. In reading this series some of my emotional moments:. In BTY when Eva found out at the benefit that Gideon had actually been engaged before and that woman was now in NY and was the one who called at the first benefit they went to and Gideon left her to help (Corrine of course) RIY practically the entire book. I was so upset that Gideon was acting and treating Eva that way. Especially that limo drive to NC. I felt for Eva when her father pointed out yet ANOTHER photo of Gideon with Corrine and that is when she called Gideon and said that they were OVER. My favorite book was EWY. It was a happy setting.  They got back together, married, etc. I know they are fictional characters but they have been in my dull life for four years.  I'll really miss the Crossfire Series. Thanks Sylvia for bringing excitement to my lifeÂ
  21. Your timeline is pretty much correct except.....When she left Eva's mother had only the clothes on her back and that Katherine's care was totally on her. The name Monica was Jackson's sister....(Tramells valued their reputation and the reputation of their debutante daughter Monica. since Eva's mother never took any credit in that name, Monica Tramell, she was able to "steal"that identy. I know, this was a very confusing storyline.
  22. Afterburn and Aftershock I enjoyed reading. Glad that I got them both together. I felt that the ending of Aftershock was rather rushed, but overall a good read. Jax and Gia made a cute couple. Grey is Christian's POV and has been out since June (his birthday) are you thinking that his POV will be coming out for the rest of the series? That would be nice too Outlander is produced on STARZ and they are doing a great job. Season two starts 4/9/16 based on Diana's second book Dragonfly in Amber can't wait. There are 8 books so far in this series and #9 will be coming out hopefully next year. DG has stated that it takes roughly 2-3 years for her to write one of her books (after all they are over a 1,000 pages!)
  23. Yes, that was the quote I was looking for! Another way Gideon acting towards those two women and not in private. Arash said that he tagged two women during Cinco de Mayo, I just figured that Gideon met them wherever they were partying and took them to his fuc*pad, not behaved so badly in a semi-private place....had to be semi-private if Arash saw him with them. Anyways, I still enjoyed the book, sorry that it is over, I will miss Gideon and Eva, haven't seen the tweet that said that Sylvia would write about Ireland. Fingers crossed that this happens and that Gideon and Eva are mentioned. Oh, wasn't too thrilled to learn that Gideon did look for someone to get Eva out of his mind (in BTY when he "found" her at his club and they hung out together for the first time); he was free to do so but was surprised that he actually told Eva about it. I guess he is trying to be more honest .
  24. It was nice  "chatting " with you also.  I probably won't read the Blacklist until both books are out. It reminds me of afterburn/aftershock.  I read the excerpt for too close and Gideon was sorta mentioned "he was now the most eligible bachelor since ? Just announced his marriage. i wish we were happier with OWY
  25. I stated in a prior post that I loved this book. I still do, (the entire series in fact) but as some have stated some areas were lightly covered. Like Monica's back story...maybe I was too tired from reading all day, but her story was really confusing.  am re-reading slowly now so maybe everything will make more since. I agree....Gideon should have been more careful, I too thought he only did things in his fu**pad hotel. that's why he and his friends only stayed in NY. I couldn't believe that they went so far out of town for the bachelor/bachelorette weekend; they should have combined the two knowing how jealous both Gideon and Eva are. and I really couldn't believe that Monica came along. Who brings their mother to that type of party.?! If someone had to die I guess Monica was all right, better than it being Gideon or Eva. Eva did get over her Mother's death really quick. Gideon talking with his step-father so quick about how Hugh would have been too wiped after him to have done anything with Christopher so soon after. He never was that explicit with Eva. The handling of Deanna is still a mystery. Did she take a job at CI? and if so as what? A pain in the Arse and a BIG mistake? The book, now will it be published? and Victor deciding to move to NY and Gideon just happened to have a contract already made out with the salaries of Angus and Raul. Don't think Victor would let them have s*x in the limo while he was driving!! But Sadly, I am sorta depressed that the Crossfire Series is over. It is like I have lost some good friends. An epilogue five years in the future would have been better than them on their honeymoon. I guess they brought Lucky along so that they could still sleep together in the same bed.   After my second read, if I remember anything I will post. I guess you could call it a wake for Monica at the beach house in NC....that is sorta when Gideon and Eva privately renewed their vows by Gideon giving Eva that diamond band. He certainly spent some $$ on her this book....that diamond necklace, earrings and the ruby bracelet, etc
