Hi Everyone, I have been not been around for a while, patiently waiting for the release of Captivated By You. Like many of you I am not sure how I feel. I have to say that usually I put the book down with a strong sense of the charAchters and where they are in the story. I feel there was enormous growth in Gideon but there just seemed to be more added to the story, we don't really have any closure with any of the villains as of yet. Book five seems like it is going to have a massive climax with many differnt people and while Gedeon and Eva are only building their relationship again it is a bit scary.

Yes, I am wondering who else is in the background. Sylvia is good at adding these mysterious people and situations. Looking forward to finding out more :)

Hey ladies From what I have read in reviews the intention was for these to be short and really make up one final book when put together. I liked the story, loved how feisty Gia was. I think in the past Jax also loved Gia but didn't fully realise she felt the same (hence the photos). He broke up with her to both protect himself from heartbreak and her from the secrets of his family. He is scared if he is in love the same fate that happened to his mother who married his dad for love would happen to them or her? Just my thoughts, am probably completely wrong

Hope you enjoy it. I did, but feel there is the opportunity for and extra book or epilogue in the future

The final book in the stark trilogy 'Complete Me' by J Kenner has been released. Just read it over a few hours this afternoon. A good read and completes the story well.

Hi GiGi Yes I do compare. Especially if I am left feeling deflated at the end or there is an aspect of the story that I think if not included/went in a different direction could have made for a much stronger storyline. Then I think back to stories that I love and know it is in a different league. At present I have only found a few authors that match up to the fluid and thoughtful style of SD. Some come close, but aspects of their story make me turn away. I like drama in a romance, but at times there is only so much a couple can take or a person can forgive. I am finding as the genre has become really popular there are some book sellers promoting books as being rated no1 or better than... And then when I read them I can see there is a very big difference between them and the ones I love. I hope this makes sense.

I have now found out the third is due December 3. I liked the story and I have been to Italy so knew the places they talked about well. The sex is more romantic than gideva which is raw and passionate. Enjoy :)

Hi GiGi I just finished the first two books from the Gabriel Series last night. Really enjoyed the story. The third is not out yet and there is no date announced. I havn't read or watched the movie of the twilight series, but I have read that this series also came about via fan fiction like FSOG.

Hi Sharonm745 Me too, I have to keep reading and stay up all night. If there are more than one book in the series, I have to read them back to back! I just spent three days reading the This Man trilogy Thanks for the welcome

Thanks sme :)

Thanks GiGi I am enjoying myself, love the different perspectives and ideas put forward. Thanks for the welcome :)

I have been reading this forum for the past few months and have loved everyone's comments and thoughts, but this is my first time posting myself. I really love SD's historical books and of course the crossfire series. I read books so quickly that I have had to look around for my romance fix and have found the following contemporary romance/erotic novels to be pretty good and keep me entertained; This Man (trilogy and all released) Jodi Ellen Malpas Blackstone Affair (trilogy and all released) Raine Miller Knight and play/stay ( two books both released) Kitty French Stark Trilogy ( 2 released final out on 30 July) J Kenner I love the writing of SD and can see the differences between a great writer like Sylvia and the thoughtful stories she writes compared to some of the other books out there. Hope you are all well and cannot wait for my next Eva and Gideon fix
