I just want to thank everyone for this site and your comments. I really enjoy participating and hearing everyone's thoughts on the book. This is a great place to visit.Â

Not sure why my response posted twice. I only hit post once. Sorry

  I think Scott is on their side too. He liked the way Gideon is around Eva. Also, I don't think Arnoldo is really against Eva he is just cautious. He likes seeing Gideon happy and he is happy with Eva. He does want to make sure she appreciates what she has because he is Gideon's friend.Â

 I agree but wouldn't Lucas put his career in danger if this information got out. Gideon would find out and get back at him through the media too. I suspect his clients are wealthy and they would tend to distrust a doctor who told secrets.  Also, there are so many wealthy men who are womanizers. I don't think that would be to big a deal. Gideon is young, very good looking and wealthy he would attract women both married and unmarried. It wouldn't be unusual for him or men of that ilk to use women. To be honest I don't really think that information would turn Corrine off either.   However, If Gideon settles down with Eva the story would be that she domesticated him.  That said, I'm sure Deanna is going to get the article to print just to satisfy her own need for revenge but I'm sure it will backfire in some way.  This is such a good story. It is fun to talk about--there are so many possibilities.Â

 I agree. Cary admitted to Eva that he knew the life with Brett wasn't what she needed and wouldn't work for her. (I have to look up the conversation when I have a break) I do think that he would encourage her to have a fling with him to get past the heartbreak but in the end if he sees Eva & Gideon together Cary wants what will make Eva happy and that is Gideon.  I so want to read the whole book but I know there will be more issues to resolve in books 4 & 5. I'm not a patient person. :-)

 I'm a little confused.  I believe Lucas is behind the reporter's visit to Eva but why would he want her to find out about what happened during his teens?  Corrine was his first consensual relationship so there isn't any consensual sex to report from his teens.  If his abuse is found out and reported wouldn't Dr. Lucas' part in the cover-up come out?   I know Lucas is out for revenge but I just don't get how he will win in the end.

 What if the reporter is one of Brett's ex girlfriends? Maybe she is jealous that Brett wrote a song for her

  I think Lucas is behind the reporter too. I think he is angry about Eva's visit to his office and the fact that Gideon came after her. If he lies about a child being abused he will do anything to hurt Gideon.  I think Lucas' silence was bought by Vidal Sr. for some reason and neither of them want that out. Eva told him that she was still looking for answers and I think that scares the creepy doctor.

 I can totally see this happening. Ireland likes Eva and Cary wants her happy. I hope, I hope... I hate to wish my life away but I really want June 4th to get here.

I agree with you all that Eva & Gideon can use the reporter to their advantage.Â

I wonder if this reporter wasn't sent to her by Dr. Terry. Maybe he is trying to hurt Eva & Gideon because of Eva's accusations about him hiding the abuse of a child. If that got out it could hurt the doc's career.Â

The server just crashed. I logged in early hoping to be on line when the chapter posted.

 I was thinking the murder doesn't necessarily make his nightmare's worse but possibly opening up to Eva might trigger some. Eva was going around talking to his family about his abuse. Or maybe he will go back to Dr. Petersen and that will bring some memories to the surface causing more dreams. Â

 Thanks I thought I read something like that but I couldn't find it.  I hope he pulls the sheet off Eva but I'm sure he will have more nightmares before he can move on.

I just looked at the snapshot for today again and I'm wondering if Gideon is pulling the covers/sheets off Eva. At first I thought he was clutching the sheets but I only found references of Eva clutching sheets in the first two books...unless I missed one.

 But remember Eva said he wouldn't come to her at Crossfire because there was too much security but he would be there to meet with Gideon.

I think Gideon had at least two meetings with Nathan. The initial meeting didn't go well because Gideon didn't scare away. I think there had to be another meeting when Nathan tried to turn up the heat with more treats.

 I think Cary loves Eva like a brother. They have learned to support each other emotionally. Personally, I think Cary is even more damaged than Eva. He hasn't figured out how to move on with his life in a constructive way yet. Cary leans on Eva to keep him moving forward. I don't think he is jealous of Gideon and Eva’s relationship but I think he is afraid that he won't survive without Eva's help and he doesn’t know how he will fit in Eva’s life if she is in a permanent relationship.  Also, I think Eva mentioned one time that his career is dependent on his good looks. So in addition to the emotional damage he is very insecure about what his future will be if he can't model. My guess his good looks were blamed for his abuse by whomever his abuser was.

 Me too. It is bad enough it is a Monday but I so want to read chapter 1 that I can't concentrate. I keep writing my chapter 1 in my head and then tell myself...the read chapter is going to be so different.

I agree that a detective would never destroy his/her notes. I was trying to get my head around that and wondering if that was some poetic license or something that the reader had to do a hand wave and ignore. After I found this site I decided that type of writing isn't necessarily Sylvia's style.

LN I believe that Graves lied too. When she first walked into the gym I thought this is not good but then I was happy with the ending hoping for the best. However the more I thought about it the more I thought a lie would be a better segue to the next book. Sylvia is making Gideon & Eva really work for their relationship. It is a great story.

 I think the reason everyone is trying so hard to protect Eva is because her recovery is so tenuous.  They all see how she reacts to Nathan, and while they need to include her more in decisions, I understand their actions. I’m sure Monica and Stanton gave Gideon some backstory that makes him worry. Also, I keep thinking about what Monica said at the hospital “He’s completely taken you over and assumed control of everything.†Gideon wants to protect Eva the only way he knows how at this point.  I also want to comment on Monica’s love for Eva. I am firmly in the camp believing that Monica really loves Eva and is consumed with guilt. I was in the hospital a lot as a child and I can tell you my parents were overcome with guilt and all they did was accept a promotion that moved them to another city. If I found out that my child was abused because of a decision I just can’t imagine how guilty I would feel.

I don't believe that Gideon will get arrested. It just seems to cliche to me. I have a feeling that Sylvia is going a different route with this story. I'm with LN on this one. I'm thinking after Graves gets her comeuppance (not sure about this word) Gideon & Eva have a great sex scene.Â

I'm anxious to read chapter 1 too. The only bad thing will be the continued wait for the rest of the book. I know I will read it in one night and then I'll have to wait for book 4.
