As Eva would say it made my heart hurt and often not in a good way. .

OMG me too.  I'm still sitting here trying to figure out how I feel about everything that happened.  The only thing I can say positively is that Sylvia is a great writer. 

ahhh yes, the mention of the prior text gives a hint that it isn't a night terror situation. What could it be that he is ashamed of though? I'm thinking it's something to do with his anger getting the best of him, but I also think Eva is somewhat clueless as to what happened between the text messages and that moment in the apartment. Also, I think I am gonna be annoyed when he goes to San Diego behind Eva's back. Unless it has to do with keeping the sex tape from coming out, that would be a valid reason, but I would be annoyed if it was because he doubted Brett being in proximity to Eva. I agree with Sylvia on Eva needing to let Carrie know about the marriage on a trip away from NY.

 

How log do you think it will take to devour the book? I'm gonna guess two and a half hours to speed read it at midnight on my computer or iPad and then take my time the next day when I go pick up the paper back from my bookstore.  So excited! But also kind bumped there will be a long wait till the story is all tied up.

 

I think he had his private session with Dr. Petersen and recalled something about his rape that embarrassed him.  Or it is possible they talked about Anne's brother and his suicide, Corrine's attempt at suicide and Gideon's dad.  Gideon thinks that he caused these suicides directly and indirectly.  He is digging up his past and it is hard for him to live with the memories so in his head he is thinking he might be dangerous to Eva if he hurts her again.  He doesn't want to break her and have Eva commit suicide. 

Yes D500 maybe tomorrow!! A Halloween snippet would be great or a first chapter !!!

 

I don't think it will be tomorrow. I don't recall that she released snippets on Friday in the past.  My guess (and hope) is it will be next week with the picture.

I'd be happy if that last sentence were the case, I prefer this set of books to Fifty Shades for various reasons but one is that there is no kinky stuff - I don't mind reading about that but it was good to read a romance as intense as this one is that was 'normal' having read quite a few with dom/sub relationships that were not just about power and control.

Both Gideon and Eva have a need to control the sexual side of their relationship due to their pasts and Gideon has certainly understood Eva's needs. I still worry though that there is something dark in his past yet to be revealed and that he fears she will still leave him if he tells her about it - let's hope if there is it is something he thinks is really bad but she has the sense to see beyond what his past entailed and look to the future.

 

 

Gideon has a little kink in him but he isn't into pain, at least not with Eva.  Both Eva and Gideon had enough pain in their life when they were young.

Good job ladies. 

It's like I've never been away. 

Hello ladies,

 

   I haven't visited in a long time but now that we see light at the end of the tunnel I decided to jump on and see what you all are talking about. 

 

I see many old friends are here still discussing Crossfire events.  It is good to see you all again.  Come on November 18!

WHAT IF .....  that isn't Eva speaking but Cary meeting up with Gideon to discuss the Brett tape ??

 

JUST THINKING  ....  his greeting ' Sorry you caught me mid-workout' ... doesn't sound like any greeting he was would say to Eva.  And Cary has always had the 'hots' for Gideon so he would definitely appreciate a ripped, sweaty body !!!  

 

It has to be Gideon.  He's sorry that he showed up in San Diego after he let Eva believe he was letting her go alone.  I'm sure her face told him she was angry.  My guess he was planning a more romantic meeting but Eva loves a sweaty Gideon.  Who wouldn't?

Hi I am new here and i also love these teasers. Thank you Sylvia and all of you ladies that post them here. Cant wait until the book comes out.

 

 

Welcome it is good that Eva and Gideon are talking to us again through these little teasers.

Actually I also think that the sweaty, hot Mothers Day teaser shows that Gideon is fully prepared to use his amazing body and sex god vortex package to keep Eva from getting mad at him and to keep him from falling off the cliff so to speak...He can play dirty when warranted just like Eva!! .

 

Eva can't resist his body and Gideon knows it.  As hot as he is Gideon is still insecure in his relationship with Eva.

Ladies, 

 

I think we talked about this before but I can't remember the answer.  Why are we trying to kill Angus, the man who many of us believe protected the young Gideon instead of Arnoldo his friend?   I'll help with the kill I just want to understand why he is next.

GiGi,

 

   I don't know if you read the latest K. Masters book yet but she has a post on Goodreads.  I guess there are people upset with her because she isn't planning the Luke & Cassie story to be a BDSM story.  It makes sense (to me anyway) that Cassie wouldn't be into BDSM based on her history.  It always surprises me when people get upset with an author's planned story.  I'm a talented reader but I couldn't write a book (not a decent one anyway) if my life depended on it.  As long as I get a good story I don't care.  If a book's subject matter doesn't appeal to me I don't buy the book and I wait for the next one s/he writes.  Anyway K. Masters is going to be at Book Bash this year (as well as many other writers you all have me reading).  I can't wait to meet her.

Ignore my question.  It was a security setting in my browser.  

 

I'll do a reread.  I'm always ready for a hot plane ride to an island getaway.

 

 

 

 

What is going on with the pictures?  I'm getting an error.  That never happened before.

I'm wondering who would be interested in a re-read of EWY before CBY comes out?

 

I'll do a reread.  I'm always ready for a hot plane ride to an island getaway.

 

While I'm visiting I need to try and kill someone.

It always makes me laugh when the site censors Sylvia's words. 

For those who can't open the link...

 

Sylvia posted this today.  I started a new thread to be consistent with previous book discussions.

A Special Teaser for New Years 2014

 

There is already a thread. Moving this.  I tried to delete but it doesn't work. See Treats...

I hope this is the appropriate place for this post.  I picked this forum because I started with Crossfire and spend most of my time here. 

 

I want to wish everyone a very happy 2014.  In addition, I want to thank Sylvia Day for not only introducing me to a great book series with a very hot, damaged and in love fictitious couple (Eva & Gideon) but also to some wonderful (real life) lovers of books.

 

My initial visit to this site was in search of the release date for Entwined With You.  After jumping on the site a few times to peruse the members' thoughts on the books and characters, some that I love, some that I want to choke, I started to debate what Sylvia "really meant" in BTY & RIY.  Then I began to participate on the other threads because I was sure I understood SD's clues and how they were going to play out in EWY.  (BTW I was wrong more than I was right.) 

 

My initial thought was that I would spend a couple days on this forum and then move on but I couldn't stay away.  I returned regularly for almost a year now and I absolutely love everyone's thoughts and input.  It will be more exhilarating when we get to discuss Captivated (not asking for an update from SD but I won't be upset if she shares a snippet or two or three or four. )    Not trying to get on your nerves Sylvia just having fun.

 

Anyway, after talking with fellow fans I found a group of ladies with a similar love of books.  They are generous with their time and recommendations.  I can't thank them enough for their sense of humor, excellent advise and just being an all around great group of women.  One of the best times I had last year was attending Book Bash.  (Thanks Kirsten for letting me know this event was so close to me and getting me a ticket.)  To the rest of our little group "The Crossfire Angels" I look forward to our daily discussions, pictures, and commiserations about everything from soup to Nutella. To my fellow "Kill A Character" participants some of you might need psychiatric help--you know who you are.  Finally GiGi thanks for being the keeper of the book list.  It is a great reference when I'm looking for my next read.

 

Thanks Sylvia for giving me good stories to read and introducing me to some good friends.  I hope 2014 finds you healthy and writing more wonderful stories.
