Go Chris!!!

I know Gideon said he heard his mother tell Chris Senior about the abuse but if he did not know, what was that conversation about?

I'm thinking that conversation was about Christopher.  Gideon was a bit self absorbed and wouldn't be following what happened to Christopher back then.  Indeed, Hugh may have told them that Gideon hurt/abused Christopher when it was really Hugh doing the damage.

As for Gideon's red-headed receptionist, I really have felt that this girl is related to Hugh/Anne but that the connection is not well known - different last name and all.  Possibly Hugh's wife was pregnant when Hugh killed himself.  If the wife remarried, the child could have a different last name and maybe Gideon didn't follow all the threads.

Anyone else even a little concerned that we haven't even seen a cover yet?  I am thinking that we probably won't be seeing this book any time soon.  But I do hope I am wrong!

Don't want to beat a dead horse here, but could part of the delay be that the publisher is putting out the Audio book at the same time as the e-book, paperback, etc.  Watching some authors putting out the e-book and paperback at the same time, the lag time for the audio is often 6 months or more.  I don't know why, but it seems to take a lot of time to make a audiobook.  Just a thought.   Again, not something I think Sylvia can control.  Probably part of the contract and the publisher is pushing to put it all out together.

Not getting a snippet doesn't bode well for OWY coming out soon.

 I hope they go out for a very private, romantic dinner ; perhaps somewhere off the beaten path like Rossi's lol and work their way back to each other. .

LOL.....  Spit coffee on my keyboard at that one!

 

Do you think they could run into Deanna?

I thought Eva was Mark's assistant. With no Mark there's no one for her to work with.

Just because a boss leaves or changes jobs, it doesn't mean everyone who works for him/her get let go.  They could certainly keep Eva, but she likes working for Mark.  Also, she realizes she can not work on the LanCorp RFP/campaign, so she will have to let management know that.  Ann Cathrin makes some good points as to why the ad agency would want to keep her, just move her to another Acct manager (Jr or otherwise). 

 

I think Eva is starting to see that being married to Gideon is going to color her world in certain ways.  Working for the ad agency may not be best fit for her, especially if Gideon's competitors are going to come at her/him that way.  She is mentally fighting the inevitable and trying to justify in her mind that this isn't the case.  That certainly adds to why she is so mad at Gideon, at least in my mind.  I don't agree with her moving in with her mom and totally shutting out Gideon, but I can see where this is a catalyst for her and hits very close to her triggers. Her 'choice' is being negated, but she will have to realize that some of that was her 'choice' to marry Gideon.  This is just a fall out from that decision.

I also think in the elevator he was confused and thats why he needed to settle... He normally associates taking out his anger on brunette women that he doesnt care about but this nite he would be taking out his anger on the woman he loves more than life and she happens to be blonde so it must have been really messing with his head...

You got to keep in mind that when talking to Dr Peterson, Gideon has put it out that he is ALWAYS VERY AWARE of Eva's triggers and is respectful of not trampling on them....  That said, when he tied her in the elevator, he was at least partially drunk and concerned about her triggers so he had to move away for a while, settle down and think this through (STAY IN CONTROL).  I think with this in mind, the elevator and how he handled his anger make a lot more sense.

from the looks of our latest teaser, Eva hasn't told Cary that Gideon and her are alreay married, just engaged!!! Wait until Dr. Travis and Cary find out that she is alreay hitched!!! Wish we would get a teaser from where Eva confronts Brett about the S E X tape.....

I don't know how to copy the teaser or I would have posted it

I wish we could get the book!  Considering Sylvia thought it would be out before the end of the year.  Unfortunately, she didn't say what year!!!

 

Oh well.  We wait.  But I agree, Eva didn't tell Cary on the flight to the west coast...  or he is being cagey with Dr. Travis.  (Don't think that is the case though!)   God love Cary!

Maybe this is when Eva tells Cary that she is already married to Gideon... .

Have to agree. I think this is when Eva tells Cary that she and Gideon are married.

This is what I'm thinking too. There's this teaser plus the one where Gideon is talking to Elizabeth. Where is Eva for these conversations? These must be Gideon's pov! Isn't that so exciting?!?!? Ahhh I can't wait for this book!

Don't I remember early on after ETW came out, that Sylvia said that Gideon was finally talking to her more?  That would point to having more or Gideon's POV in the last two books.  Plus, since these are 'mainly' for Gideon coming to grips with his demons, it makes sense that we are finding out what is going on in his head.

 

Also, as much as i like that Gideon has close male friends, I never felt particularly fond of Arnoldo.   Much warmer thoughts for Angus, a man who has looked out for him for probably 20 years and the ONE he brought along to stand up for him at his wedding!

 

 

Thank you Sylvia! I knew he would follow her to S.D. Just knew it! Now, will you tell us the rest??? Ha Ha!!!

This latest snippet just goes with the earlier one...  Eva stays back to get have Gideon tell her why he is in San Diego and he says the bit about tell me what you need and we can argue and have make-up sex later!  Yea Gideon!  melt.....

 

Oh, and of course Gideon had Eva and Cary stay at one of his properties, so of course he would know where they would be...  love it!

"The Boss" series by abigail barnette is realllllyyyyy good. Not quite crossfire series but just as good

Probably the wrong place to ask this, but is "The Boss" series 2 or 3 books. I only see 2 out and hate to be waiting for yet another book!

I know we all hope CBY comes out as soon as possible, but what do you guys think is the realistic release date?

Can't help but think that a German(?) bookseller came out with a May? 2014 date a while ago and had to publish an apology.  Could it be that they were right all along?  I'd like to see CBY out before then, but I highly suspect that Sylvia has been pressuring Penguin books but has gotten no where with them.  I feel bad for her because she has been getting such a hard time on facebook and I don't think she really has any real control over this.  Oh well, what will be will be.

I have recently read the HE11 Yeah! series by Sable Hunter.  Starts with Cowboy Heat, then Hot on Her Trail,  and covers the McCoy brothers and their finding the women of their dreams.  There are 2 versions of most of these books (12 in the series already but since we have moved onto friends and acquaintances, there is a possibility for a number more (he11 Yeah! Cajun Style and HE11 Yeah! Equalizers).  

 

The "sweeter version" of the books/kindles are a little more tame but good reads all the same.  Waiting for the next one of these to come out.  They are hard to put down.  I would recommend you read them in order because just like the "Rescue Me" series by Kallypso Masters, the storylines weave through the books and you would get a little confused about other characters - especially with Aron and what happens to him on his honeymoon.

 

Still waiting for more Gideon and Eva though!

Ok, so I have seen Sylvia quoted as having said on New Years Day that she expected to have something for us in two weeks. A month has now gone by and no Crossfire C B Y announcement. At this point, she must be SO frustrated with her publisher. Wish we knew something. I miss Gideon and Eva and want to know what is happening in their story!

I think Sylvia put in Darrin's commentary to explain why there was a video launch in the first place, because Eva as a first person narrator would not know exactly why the event was orchestrated for the band, just that she was invited. Its not really normal these days for a Times Square video launch for an up and coming indie band. Gideon might mention later he set the whole thing up in an undercover sort of way so he would have an event to act as a couple with Eva. Gideon kept saying how impatient it was for the two to begin being seen in public together and he probably assumed Brett would invite Eva. Gideon could accomplish two things by setting up this event: showing off Eva AND making his presence in Eva's life known to Brett. 

 

I wonder how many of the women on here are hoping Sylvia announces the release date Christmas eve, assuming she is taking Christmas day off completely. Or maybe a snippet. I like the idea of her giving us something between tomorrow and New Years, but I also hate to think she is doing some kind of work those days. 

I have always believed that the video event was set up not only to promote the band but to embarass Gideon and Eva.  I DO believe this was all orchestrated by Christopher.  He certainly would have heard about the fight between Brett and Gideon over Eva.  I also think he is aware of the illicit video and may have told Deanna about it.  Christopher also appears to have told Lizzie about Eva's past.  I don't have my book with me, but during one of the confontations between Lizzie and Eva, Lizzie says something to the effect of "I know all about you and that singer!"   Christopher is in this up to his neck!

 

I would love either the release date or a snippet!

 

Hi Sharon,

That's a great idea!  Amazon in Canada doesn't offer that incentive, but it is a good thing that it is offered somewhere.  Getting a discount on gas is always a great thing! 

 

I don't know if you have heard that Kallypso Masters will be releasing her next book by Christmas!  She had mentioned that it will be offered in at least one location; Amazon, Kindle,Smashwords, etc. but I am not sure if it has been decided exactly.  I am so excited!  I really hope that it is offered at Smashwords. Then I can order it via a PDF file.  Otherwise I hope that she releases the printed book soon...

IS the Kallypso Masters book in the Masters At Arms Rescue Me series?   Love those.  Waiting for  "Somebody's Angel" one to find out more about Marc and Angelina.

I am so certain that it will be May since AFTERSHOCK is coming out in March.  So upsetting.

Looks like that German website that had a May 2014 date (that got retracted with a statement), may have been correct after all.  I am still keeping my fingers crossed for a Valentine's day release, but not overly confident about that either.

 

Sure wish Sylvia would put out something......

 

I hate to be a downer here, but I have a real bad feeling that if we don't get a release date really soon (like this week!), that CBY won't be out before Christmas. I hope I am wrong, or that the release date is announced soon, but I am starting to get a bad feeling.

Looks like a certainty now. (Sad face)
