I hope that my next posts will be helpful. My husband thinks that I am a little OCD. But I need to be able to have thinks make sense, so I have gone through the books & made timelines. They may seem long & I am sorry. I really wanted to be able to give us all a quick reference. Please let me know if I have missed anything. hopefully this will help all of us in our reading or devouring of the series.

I think Gideon was saying to Eva that Corinne was not his alibi, meaning that he was not with her the whole night. After the fire, she left when he was dealing with everything. Plus he wanted to make sure that Eva knew he did not spend any additional time with her that night.

Sorry I was tired when I typed this it should have been book 4!

My thoughts on a title for book $:  Absolved by You  Redeemed by you  Can hardly wait.

So happy I finally got my validation to post. Looking forward to sharing this Crossfire journey with all of you!

Agreed She has to have Victor there for her! Also that she can tell her dad her new name - Eva Lauren Tramell Reyes Cross.

I think that at the end of Entwined, when Gideon and Deanna were talking - Gideon was either giving her the details on the engagement to run accompanying the pictures from that nights event. Or he was giving her the info on their secret wedding complete with photo. This would hopefully, keep Brett at bay and solidify Gideon's and Eva's relationship to the public.

To me, Gideon wants Eva to know that once she uses her safeword he will stop- she will have control. Because in this situation her saying no or stop, will not necessarily make him stop. Eva' s mind being in the "right" place is knowing that she says the word and it stops.
