 Jane's Melody is excellent. I'm sure you will like it.

 Perfect couple.

 I was looking for a dress for a wedding I'm invited to and I think this is Eva's garden party dress. (One of my favorite sections.) It is a "made to order" and additional crinolines can be added. I don't know if leather flowers are an option but this has to be close. Â

 If you liked Maya Banks her KGI series is excellent especially if you like adventure mixed with romance. I also like how Maya keeps her readers up-to-date with what she is working on with FB posts, tweets and her website. She is very forthcoming with snippets and teases. The next KGI book is due out in Dec.

 I agree. I worked full time most of my life and we had excellent child care. My kids were happy and I could go to work knowing they were in good hands. I can see where a person who experienced abuse would be cautious, and do background checks on potential daycare providers, but working outside the home doesn't make one a bad parent.  I have a good friend whose sister was a nanny for a popular Hollywood couple for years when their kids were young. She traveled everywhere with them. Having a nanny gave them the peace of mind knowing that their children were cared for when they were on the set for long hours during the day and there was limited negative impact on the kids sleep/school schedules.

 Yes. According to K. Masters' website, her next book is due out Sept or Oct. She doesn't have a firm date yet.Â

 I agree I think the red head in the first book (Bared) is the one that Sylvia said wasn't Anne but the redhead in Entwined is Anne. She has to be.Â

Welcome to the game Sarah. Â Â I think we will be killing people until book 5 is here.

Shaz & Barb watch out my peak season is over and I'm going to get some kills. This is embarrassing that I haven't killed anyone yet in my game.Â

Wow it took awhile to realize someone was missing. I went through the books and added the characters to the list as I found them. Do you want to add Dr. Travis now or forget him?

 The will have a nanny because Gideon has to go to many of those charity events and he will take Eva with him. Also Eva is starting her own foundation and she will need to attend that. My guess is they will have an onsite daycare at Crossfire however there will be in depth background checks. I suspect that there will be cameras around the house and daycare too.  Also, Gideon has a home office. It is very possible that Eva will work from home for awhile and only go into the office for meetings and such.  I like the idea of another book but when I talked to Sylvia at the library (BookBash) she didn't seem to open to the idea. I guess at this point she thinks she is going to wrap up the story in the next two books. Of course plans change and she might add a prequel and a follow-up book. I hope so.

 It was tweet that Sylvia sent out awhile ago but I haven't seen anything yet.

 I know what you mean. I haven't read romance novels since Joan Collins and Danielle Steele were so popular. I only read FSOG because a couple women at work were talking about the book and they were reading too slowly for me to find out what happened next. I didn't start reading the next romance book until April of this year when I started the Crossfire series. Now I can't get enough. I will say that some of the BDSM books will sometimes make me cringe.  However, I started reading the Rescue Me series by Kallypso Masters and they are some of the best love stories. The books are about a group of veterans who deal with PTSD and other war injuries by starting a BDSM club. Some of the scenes are intense but they aren't gratuitous. It is clear that the lifestyle serves a need and helps heal the characters.  I just finished book 4 and the 1st page has a lot of warnings about abuse, incest, & BDSM. Masters is a victim of child abuse (incest) and this book deals with a child abuse survivor. There are parts that are very sad and heart wrenching. Like all romance books there is a HEA but it is an 1100 page journey. They are well worth the read. The only negative is the next 3 books are on hold. I think the author is negotiating with a publisher.   BTW the first two books are free on Amazon. That's how I started reading the series.

Go for it Shaz. It is our way of getting rid of the people who are holding up production of CBY...a kind of death in effigy.

Welcome MrsBlue.  It is good to see people are still joining and we love to talk about anything Crossfire.

I know you do JLS and I understand. She will have to go sometime and most of the forum will be jumping for joy but I will cry for Gideon.Â

I like this too even if I did want to slap Gideon and tell him to ignore Corinne for a couple minutes/hours/days, etc.

 This made me think about Eva helping Gideon fall back to sleep after he started with his nightmare.Â

Welcome. The forum is a little quiet now but it will pick up as soon as news, pics, snippets for Captivated starts.

Sarah you can jump in and try to kill anyone. I disagree about Cary. I think he has Eva's back and only wants what's best for her. That is one of the things I like about this series; the characters are open to personal interpretation (Gideon & Eva not included). Some people like various characters and others don't.Â

 I love all the Maya Banks' books I've read so far. In my opinion the BDSM is much lighter than FSOG. It isn't hard to take at all.  The books are more more about the love relationship than BDSM.
