 Oh Yea!Â

 I didn't take it as an insult I thought it was a compliment.Â

  I think that should be the title of the next book (even though it fit with the series) Can't Hardly Wait For You. Instead of talking about Gideon and Eva it would be a tribute to the readers.

Thanks.

I think the two rings she has in her purse are the new one she just bought for Gideon and her ring (1).  Gideon gave Eva his mother's engagement ring when they were married on the beach. I think it is because Eva wants another wedding that her family & friends will attend and she will wear the engagement ring now that her engagement is known.

 GiGi,     She left husband # 2 Mr. Mitchell because he had a gambling problem. That is why Eva won't gamble because she knows what happens to people when they get hooked.  Sharon

 Just wanted to mention that Gideon killed Nathan but many of us think that Clancy helped with the get out of jail free card. (Moving the bracelet.)

 Welcome.

 I can't disagree with anything here.

 Well thank you very much!Â

 I didn't like it when she first talked about secrets but I thought it had to do with Nathan's death. But then it could be that she was just trying to strike at Eva because Eva was questioning her actions with Victor.Â

 I wouldn't mind that especially if it is in 3rd person or from Gideon's point of view. It could answer a lot of questions.  BTW I didn't mind it in FSOG. I think the book ended to abruptly but it was good to see that CG ended up in the right place.

 LOLÂ

 Another thought about Tatiana. Cary said that she was difficult to work with on the sets. Maybe her last trip (I forget where she was overseas) she was put on a black list. As a result Tatiana decided she needed to find an easy way to make a lot of money and Cary gave her enough information, via pillow talk, that gave her the idea to meet Deanna.

 You're right. It would be clear to everyone that Gideon is off the market and all the exes need to move on if they want to find happiness. It might also help Corinne start reconcile with JFG because it will be clear to both of them that nothing is going to happen with Corinne and Gideon.Â

 I think when she was with Cary he was taking pain meds which have strange effect on people. I remember when I had surgery awhile ago my husband said I talked in my sleep. It is possible that the medication either made Cary talk in his sleep and Tatiana asked about his mumbling or the medication made him loose lipped giving her too much information about Gideon, Eva, etc. She took the information and decided to use it to her advantage. I'm also thinking that the pregnancy is a fraud too. Maybe she senses that Cary wants to move on with Trey and she wants to continue to milk Cary for more information that may get her money.

Now that I think about maybe book 5 will come to Sylvia more from Gideon's point of view. She said in an interview that, so far, she is only getting Eva's point of view.

 I can see this happening but don't you think she (Eva) wants to have her dad give her away? I think about that being more important to Eva than Monica having her wedding planning moment. However, leaking the wedding to Deanna will kill several birds with one stone, Brett, Corinne, Elizabeth, Jr. and Deanna (not necessarily in the order of importance). If this happens in Book 4 I wonder what the plans will be for Book 5; maybe that is the "final healing" book so to speak where everyone gets all their issues resolved.Â

As I do that part of my job that is routine and repetitive (those things we all have to do but put off) the phone call from Cary to Eva popped into my head. The one when he was angry because she told him about moving in with Gideon via a phone call.  It is another thing that Mommica had to stick her noise in; what did she hope to get from Cary? His help in getting Eva to not move in with Gideon. Monica really needs to stay out of Eva's business. I'm thinking now that Gideon is her husband; she is going to have to relinquish her control. Gideon isn't going to like her interfering. If I have the timeline correct it is August, is Gideon going to be happy with a December wedding? December is still four months away however, red is their color and it will fit in perfectly with a wedding in December.  I wonder how Sylvia is going to move time forward in the next two books since the first three have very little time jumps.Â

   Thanks. I can't tell you how many times I re-read this section trying to fit these pieces together (not to mention I love the plane ride and the wedding) and they just didn't fit.  Gideon is a good man at heart, and perfect for Eva in every way, he just needs to continue to communicate outside the bedroom. He also needs to kick his exes to the curb but then again Eva needs to do that too.  Â

 Me too.Â

 What a great explanation. This makes absolute sense to me. Thanks

 Thanks to everyone for your feedback.  I was thinking about this last night too. I suspect that Gideon is taking it one step at a time and "preparing" Eva for his fantasy reenactment. I remember Gideon saying that he was surprised that he didn't scare her off in the beginning by his actions. I'm thinking that he just wants her to remember her safeword when they have relations so that when they are in a situation when/if she is bound she will already know how to get his attention. ( I'm guessing that the person in a swing is bound. I wanted to do research but I have to wait until I'm home. I don't want to give our IT department the wrong idea. It might not bode well for my evaluation due next week.)  I just want to say again that I really appreciate everyone's comments. You all always give me something new to think about.

 I believe that Gideon would stay with Eva because he loves her and she loves him. The issue is that the video pictures would stay in his head. He already has the rape and abuse pictures of Eva in his memory and that plays out in his nightmares about Nathan. Eva doesn't want him to think of her in anyway but his "Angel" and a s e x tape would cloudy that image.

 I hear what you are saying but he says all you have to say is no or stop. I understand if a situation is very intense and one or the other partners might say stop but not really mean stop but if stop is all that is needed...How can a safeword give her more peace of mind?Â
