I also liked when Gideon suggested in EWY that Eva could be a "fixer" .... Someone who works in crisis management...I think she would be very good at that or heading up Crossroads; it doesnt sound like Gideon personally works on those projects and Eva could take that and run with it...make it her own. I think CBY was really all about Eva coming to the realization that her life was going to change as Mrs. Gideon Cross whether she wants it to or not and there's no stopping it now. Definitely think that Gideon should have had major discussions with Eva before offering Mark a position but he knew that would probably just be another rough night and he certainly wants to avoid conflict with Eva at all costs. Cant wait for OWY. I think they will be back in sync and working together for a fabulous future together. Since it is already October; I think the wedding will have to take place fairly soon in the new book because the weather at the Outer Banks will be too cold for an outdoor ceremony if they wait much longer !!

You bring up an interesting point about Angus...Maybe he wasn't looking at Corinne in that window; maybe he had caught a glimpse of Anne Lucas at another table in disguise... Gideon being distressed over his meeting with Corinne would not have noticed her. Perhaps Anne Lucas told Corinne she would be present for moral support if in fact Anne is brain washing Corinne into writing the book...OMG!

The dress that Gideon got rid of was the Vera Wang that he bought for her for the fundraiser where she first met Corinne. This was the dress that exposed a great amount of cleavage that he wanted to cover with a scarf LOL!!

Hugh was pretty manipulative but I cant see him bringing a sex swing to the Vidal Estate LOL . Although I do wonder how Gideon became so proficient with the sex swing???

I definitely think there had to be some sort of visitation process in place. Eva would not want to go and live with someone she hardly knew so it makes sense that she had a somewhat close relationship with him prior to moving to San Diego.

Yes I do think that Gideon has visited a sex club and maybe has even encountered Deanna there??? LOL!!

I would like to know where Monica and Eva lived when she was a baby. Were they in the San Diego area and when did Monica come to New York... when she married Stanton or before this...I'm thinking an aunt or other sympathetic family member took Monica and her baby into their home in those early years ... I hope these questions get answered in OWY.

I dont think Eva wants to know the details as Eva did not want Gideon to view those videos Nathan had. I'm sure Gideon will restrict those discussions to his private therapy as most abuse survivors have great shame associated with the episodes and Gideon would be no different.

Couldn't agree more Ann; Corinne needed to go 2 books ago she has more than worn out her welcome!!

Gideon may be new to relationships but at least he knows to keep his mouth shut where Eva and Cary are concerned...My hope for OWY is that Gideva are sleeping peacefully together in their OWN place with their own decorating style and their friends/families in their own buildings several blocks away LOL. . ;)

On a funny note; hopefully Elizabeth Vidal doesn't hit on Victor at the wedding LOL; that would be very awkward OMG. :;

Well I really don't want to see Victor have an accident but I do think that once Gideva start a family he will move to NYC anyway. He would be a great role model to those kids and who of course would they trust more than Victor to watch their children. They wouldn't need to employ a nanny LOL . Between Victor and Mommyca; those kids will be smothered to death LOL!!

Yes jmhope I was disappointed initially when Gideon "missed" his old life too; but I did think it was a little of what Dr. Travis said at the beginning of the book...maybe it was just a longing for something a little less complicated... Although if you think about it alot of the stressors in Gideva's lives currently are due to his baggage from the past namely Ann Lucas, Corinne, Chris Jr, his mother. As Gideon gets deeper into his relationship with Eva he is realizing that he cant exert complete control over her and that it is actually easier to be a global magnate than to be a husband to a passionate, latino bombshell!!LOL

I cant believe that someone read that scene as a rape scene; at no time in that sequence did Eva ever say no or stop as a matter of fact it was exactly the opposite... Eva wanted Gideon desperately to have sex with her...

I think he thought that if Eva touched him he wouldnt be able to let go and things would progress beyond what he was capable of handling at that moment...

Yes i believe it does using Fifty Shades of Gray as my reference...LOL

Yes I have read that one too.

Yes,agreed. The shower scene was a beautiful, tender moment before the volatility of the coming chapters. The calm before the storm.

Totally agree with this Ann; I would love to read about that chapter of their life but it's just too soon... Maybe when Gideon is 30 to 32 yo and Eva will be 26 to 28 yo the perfect age... I agree with you that they should enjoy each other with nothing to distract them like the petty jealousies of others...I envision them with their 2 young children at the beach house and after they put the kids to bed Gideon has his way with Eva on the deck...LOL!!

Ditto...

I have a feeling Deanna is no longer welcome at Rossi's...too bad!! Lol

I honestly think Gideon wants to protect Eva not control her. The Lancorp account spelled disaster in every way for Eva. Down the road if their product was a bust they could say that Eva leaked information to her husband etc such as corporate espionage. They could have destroyed her reputation in an attempt to hurt Gideon and they certainly would have achieved that because Gideon would never want to negatively impact Eva's career.

Totally agree avid reader... Well said... Even though I strongly disagree with the way Gideon handled the situation as per his usual mo of not talking to Eva first ; Eva fleeing to her mother's over protective arms is almost laughable!! Even Gideon has a hard time believing it; but that just further increases his distress because he thinks that if Eva would rather be around her mother than her dark and dangerous sex god; things certainly must be pretty bad. I think the next book will open with their joint appointment at Dr. Peterson's. Hopefully he will be able to offer them some unbiased insight and then I hope they go out for a very private, romantic dinner ; perhaps somewhere off the beaten path like Rossi's lol and work their way back to each other. . :)
