 This is my favorite line too. Made me swoon.Â

 Me either but it would be fun.

 I don't know that he would have to get rid of it. The room is something he did for Eva when they were together. What I think would be nice is if Corrine came to Gideon's apartment for a decision about his intentions and Eva let her in (maybe Gideon has an early meeting) and Eva was in that just F$#@d state. What goes around comes around but Corrine would know Eva wasn't staging a performance.

I'm curious. Does everyone think there is going to be a trial? Or does the majority feel that the case is going to go cold? Personally I would like a trial and have Gideon acquitted.  If there is a trial it will be a long one and, most likely, require a whole book.Â

 I don't think so either...just wishful thinking. It would be too dangerous for Gideon to jump back in Eva's arms publicly.Â

 So do you think that by day 2 Gideon is publicly back with Eva? According to the one snippet she is out dancing pretending to be single. I noticed that a few snippets are from Chapter 1/1.5 so they aren't necessarily in order.  Maybe the dance is day 2 and they decide to go public again. I hope. I want them to be together and working on their issues instead of apart (in appearance only) and working on their issues.Â

 It wasn't mentioned yet but I assume there is. I think Eva will check and give an all clear before Gideon leaves.

 I agree with you...I think. All indications are that Gideon did it. I don't hate him if he did, in fact, I completely understand it. Monica has to be involved somehow even if it is just that fact that she knows what he did.Â

 I contacted Maryse. The event is sold out so she put me on a wait list. Regardless I'm going to Orlando with the hope that someone doesn't show and I can get in.Â

No I didn't know and I don't know this blog. I just started reading Sylvia's books and found this site the other day when I searched for the release date of the next Crossfire book.

Yes. I live in the Tampa Bay area. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to stay over night or drive back home after.

 Yes. So maybe Gideon is trying to protect Monica because he doesn't want Eva hurt by losing her mother.Â

A good lawyer could turn around Eva's admission that she dumped Gideon on Saturday. It isn't unusual for someone to be involved with two people at the same time. The Lawyer could say Eva finally had enough and said this is it. I can't wait any longer for you to make a decision. ...Or something like that.  OK someone posted on one of the other threads that she talked to Sylvia at a meet and greet and Sylvia indicated that Monica was involved in the Nathan murder more than people think.  That will put a whole different twist on everything.

 We don't know the whole story yet but he didn't confirm the abuse when Gideon reported it. His mom took him to be examined by Dr. Lucas and Lucas said he didn't see any indication of abuse. Hopefully we will find out more in Book 3

  This is a little disappointing but my fear is that you are right. I wanted some resolution in Book 3 so they can move forward as a solid couple working together. I don't want the possibility of a charge of murder hanging over their heads for another book.Â

I don't thing Gideon will go to jail but he may have to stand trial. I think going to jail would be cruel and unusual punishment for the readers.Â

 Monica said the records are open now that Nathan is dead. I'm sure Victor will find them and be furious. I suspect he will also figure out that Gideon had a hand in Nathan's death. In my opinion Victor will appreciate that he protected his daughter. I'm sure Graves, et. al. will share with him what they found in Nathan's apartment. Victor will know that Nathan planned on killing Eva. I know murder isn't the answer but I would kill to protect my child especially after what she lived through.Â

WOW! I'm so lucky that I just found this series in April. It drives me crazy when I have to wait too long for the release of the next book in a series that I'm addicted to. (I have several authors that keep me on the ropes. Fortunately release dates are all over the calendar so I always have something to read.) I'm using some of my comp time on June the 4th :-) On June 5th I will be happy knowing the next chapter in the lives of Gideon & Eva but depressed waiting or Book 4. :-(

I think they are still going to make mistakes because this serious relationship and trusting thing is so new to both of them. I have a feeling that they will talk it through more readily now because they are both aware what they did wrong in the past and they don't want to lose each other.

He didn't want her to spend the rest of her life afraid of him if she honestly believed he was a violent person. She suffered enough being afraid of Nathan. He was promising no more trying to manipulate her emotions, to chase after her, to try to force her to take him back for the upteenth time. He was willing to spend the rest of his life without her, even though it would kill him, rather than try to force her to stay with him. Poor Gideon.  I loved that part too. It shows how much Gideon loves Eva. Even though he has made a lot of mistakes in their relationship he only has her interests at heart. Now I think he is going to start moving forward and acting more as partners. I hope! I hope!

 Thanks. I remember when Carol Burnett went after the National Enquirer and won. She knew it was going to be an uphill battle but decided they needed to stop spreading lies and rumors just to hurt her because she was famous. I believe her success has served a precedent for other successful cases.  It is possible that Gideon will have a showdown with Deanna.Â

A thought about Corrine. I never felt that Gideon returned to a sexual relationship with her. I always felt she was his +1 for the press. Of course Corrine wants more but I don't think she is getting it. I understand the appearance in the paper of something more intimate but photographers can capture shots that appear to be something they aren't. They snap 10 - 15 shots consecutively and pick the one that tells the story they want to tell. I think that Gideon spends a lot of time talking about Eva and that is what puts the smile on his face. At least that is what he said about the Magdelene picture. And later-- why would Corrine go out of her way to make Eva think that Gideon was in her apartment (he clearly wasn't) if she didn't know that Gideon really wants Eva? Â

I thought that Gideon gave Eva his key when he returned hers in hope that she would come back to him. Eva, however, was too upset when he returned her key she didn't notice. Gideon is ashamed of his dreams and even more ashamed that Eva saw him having a dream. He doesn't want Eva to hate him however, he couldn't wait for her any longer and came after her. Gideon wants Eva to help teach him how to open up to her. It must be difficult for a man who never shared before especially when it is something that tore him away from his family.Â
