 I searched all three books and I can't find this quote. Maybe it is garbled a little.Â

 I'm on level 182. I haven't moved forward in about a week and it is driving me crazy.

 I think the DB9 is part of the masquerade and since Gideon is at the hospital as himself and not the new hunky neighbor he wants his regular car there.

 Yes It makes sense. As I think about it, with hindsight and after seeing how Eva tried to fight off Nathan, Gideon feels he should have fought back. Maybe it is an expression of guilt more than anything. Gideon shouldn't feel guilty because he is a victim used by an adult. This is one more thing he will need to work through with Dr. Petersen.

 Yes but I mostly play games. I'm hooked on Candy Crush right now. I do follow some of my favorite authors so I can stay current with what they are writing.

 Yes.Â

 I hooked my boss on these books. It is fun talking about the story with her. Sometimes people will walk in on the conversation and they think we are talking about real people. Some of our co-workers are ready to have us committed. My office mate always asks now "is that a character or a real person" when I mention my kids or grandkids.

 I know what you mean. Sometimes a thought will pop in my head and I have to go back and read a passage or chapter again and then I think "you are going crazy in your old age lady." Whatever it is I just love this story and can't stop reading it.

 LOL.  You need to clear your cookies so your daughter doesn't know where you've been.Â

 Absolutely!       Â

 Well said. I can't wait to see how Gideon changes as he faces his past. It still surprises me when he tells Eva "he wished it hurt more." When Gideon is awake he has that hurt so hidden he doesn't even know it is there. However, when he sleeps the hurt takes over him so strongly that he is violent with his sleep partner.Â

 Not me. I loved all the crazy ideas everyone had and then finding out that Sylvia took us down a completely different path was great. Let's face if she could introduce the Russian mob then anything goes.

 I guess we are far enough into this story that I can talk about the next chapter a little. I was a little upset that Gideon wanted Angus to take Eva away instead of keeping her with him. It confused me that she felt better when she read his text and it said need instead of want her out of here.  For me using the word need would make me feel worse but I'm not sure why.   I loved this. Tat is a conniving witch with a capital "B". I'm sure she was hoping to show off in front of Gideon but she didn't do anything for him.Â

 I can only speak for myself. I have a wide personal space and it makes me crazy when people I barely know step into it. My husband, on the other hand, is a musician and has a lot of artsy, fartsy friends who like to touch, kiss and hug. It drives me crazy sometimes. None of them are bad people it is just the way theatrical people are.Â

 I don't think it is a trigger about the future but Eva's past. She still has a fear because Nathan would hold her down. When people are too touchy feely her fears come to the forefront. I don't think it is necessarily a intuition about the person. Of course we won't know until Eva lets us know through Sylvia.

 I know. It feels like their life is calming down and they can enjoy their love for one another.

 My favorite line in #20 is "I guess you like the ring." and then Gideon gave that rough laugh. It still makes me smile when I read it.  2. Would you like to go home Mrs. Cross. It is nice that Eva has someone around her that knows her secret. I just feel like she so desperately wants to tell everyone. I love that she had her little confrontation with Giroux and then went ring shopping. She is staking her claim regardless of whether people think he is engaged or married Eva wants everyone to know he is off the market...forever.  3. I knew you were nailing Cross again from the moment you started back up. ...Eva honey, don't you think that if there were another man in New York who could bang it out all night like Cross, I would've found him by now? ...No one is lucky enough to find two guys like that in a row. Not even you. You should've had a dry spell or at least a couple of really bad lays first.

 When the picture for Chapter 20 posted I was sure it was going to be a text that Gideon was arrested. I'm so happy I was wrong about that one.

 Well now that's a good Christmas present to open (or wrap up) whatever the case may be.

 I'm hoping we will have a July 4th snippet in celebration of Eva/Gideon' independence from their past.

 I think s*xual partners would be a better word choice. I'm not sure either Gideon or Eva really had lovers in the past.

  I agree. I'm sure there will be a lot of tears in the next book because Gideon has so much to face but his Angel will help him through. Can't wait.Â

 I love this title. It makes me feel good about the next book.

 I agree 1000%

 I hope I didn't give anyone the wrong impression. I don't think Sylvia will take this couple down a path where they aren't faithful to each other. I think their story is learning to deal with the way their past is impacting their present which includes bad choices of s*xual lovers.  I don't like Brett at the moment, however, if Eva is in a situation where Brett aggressively tries to recreate any part of Golden he will go down. The same with Gideon, he will not hurt Eva again with an old paramour.Â
