  1. Â Rob James-Collier maybe.
  2. Agreed!! I post on both but since I really, really want Lionsgate to think about this I put it here. Â The deed is done!!
  3. Sorry for the missunderstanding. Â I am not proposing Gideon revist Hugh but rather Crossfire Foundation maybe contributing to effort to get legislation passed or comment at the end of the book about the issues.Â
  4. We all know Etta was the best but she died last year so I thought since it is Gideon's wedding he could get Beyoncé because she played Etta in movie called "Cadillac" about the Cadillac Record Company
  5. "At Last" feels like a perfect song for the first dance of Eva and Gideon at their New York wedding. These are Beyoncé lyrics so they might be slightly different from Etta James At last my love has come along My lonely days are over And life is like a song Oh yeah, yeah At last the skies above are blue My heart was wrapped up in clover The night I looked at you I found a dream that I could speak to A dream that I can call my own I found a thrill to press my cheek to A thrill that I have never known Oh yeah, you smile, you smile Oh, and then the spell was cast And here we are in heaven For you are mine at last Read more: Beyonce Knowles - At Last Lyrics | MetroLyrics
  6. Since Crossfire not only is a wonderful love story but a presentation on the effect of childhood sexual abuse, perhaps Lionsgate could include a public service announcement. Gideon spoke of the statute of limitations preventing him from getting justice against Hugh but now the New York legislature and those in several other states have or are seeking to make it easier for victims to pursue justice as adults.
  7. FYI In April, 2013 New York put forth legislation to remove statute of limitations on time victims of childhood sexual abuse have to file civil and/or criminal charges. Would be nice if Sylvia could work the outcome, if it is good, into the HEA.
  8. I also feel the marriage was a loving one until the scandal. Elizabeth, although not explicitly stated, did not seem to keep Gideon away from Hugh even after he told her of the abuse. Regardless of the doctor reports, she could have acted in a precautionary manner just in case. We have a lot of information regarding Dr. Terrence Lucas but none that I recall about the other doctor. Could he/she also have had an association with Anne?
  9. Today I read an interview that Sylvia gave. She discussed her expectations regarding the production of the Crossfire series by Lionsgate and that she expected they would include all the scenes necessary to present Eva's and Gideon's stories. Being mainly familiar with American network television, presenting a significant amount of the content of these books will be difficult. I understand cable networks are more open and Sylvia stated she expected the series would be made for cable television. She recommended watching The Tudors with Henry Cavill and Games of Thrones as examples of well done television. In the interview, Sylvia mentioned the limo scene as being pivotal because it introduces so much about the main characters. I think the flight to the Caribbean and the scene in the Vidal library along with the shower where Gideon helps Eva work through her fears after her nightmare are also extreme important to be produced.
  10. Since we know there are tough times ahead for Gideon and Eva, I think one of them will need musical inspiration from "I Won't Give Up On Us" by Jason Mraz
  11. We agree was magnificent. Plot line Gideon is in a hurry. The Pierre is not available. He restores Tavern on the Green then after the wedding turns it over to Shawna and Arnoldo to run as a special events center. Then we see what happens. ;)
  12. Watching Downton Abbey and thought Dan Stevens who plays Matthew Crawley would make a good Jean-Francois Giroux.
  13. Have not read that one yet. Now I look forward to that book!
  14. Checked the web before I posted. Central Park.com said may reopen later this year, 2013. September 27, 2013 article said developer needs more money to open. Personally took pictures in summer 2012 and it was definitely closed and damaged. Only visitor center opened to distribute visitor information. I do not know about Christmas. Maybe it was a partial restoration.
  15. We are in agreement The replay was for Avid_reader Gideon has never told Eva to stay away from his mother. Whether he should or should not, he turns to her repeatedly.....his apartment, wanting know what Eva thought of Elizabeth, saving Vidal Records and the ultimate, wanting the love of his life to have the engagement ring that belong to his mother. The man has serious issues regarding Elizabeth.
  16. Hard to go back because there is so much. Sorry to be redundant I was referring to when he was abused. He asked his mother to help him and as you mentioned she did not believe him and that most certainly lead to many of his demons. Gideon has never told Eva to stay away from his mother. Whether he should or should not, he turns to her repeatedly.....his apartment, wanting know what Eva thought of Elizabeth, saving Vidal Records and the ultimate, wanting the love of his life to have the engagement ring that belong to his mother. The man has serious issues regarding Elizabeth.
  17. I think under the topic of "Mothers and Fathers", I mentioned and others concurred, all of Gideon's women friends look like his mother and she is the only person other then Eva who has been to his home. Gideon also told Eva the reason he saved Vidal Records was to prevent financial hardship for his mother. His mother is the only one he says "did not love him enough." but when he was in trouble he went to her for help. She would appear to be a strong influence in his life. I agreed with you about Elizabeth expecting the ring was for Corinne based on Gideon's behavior, past and present. I think that is why she called him to the hospital. I do not think she expected to see Eva. Only Giroux was not surprised. Eva attacked Elizabeth first at the restaurant. Elizabeth was surprised that Gideon had told Eva about his alleged abuse. He had never shared that before. When Eva stood up to her regarding the ring, Elizabeth felt threatened.
  18. I wish you had told me that sooner. I might have waited until book five to start this...No I think I would rather suffer through their struggle with you guys and get to the HEA together.. (I am guessing HEA means "happily ever after")
  19. Tavern on the a Green has been closed for years and is a wreck. Gideon would have to restore it. Monica wanted The Pierre which is actually a more exclusive location. I think book three ends in August. Now that I think about it Tavern on the Green could eliminate the problem of the other venues already having been reserved and the Crystal Room is/was fabulous!! In the fall with Central Park trees changing color in the background and riding up in a hansom cab.....very romantic in the late afternoon
  20. Gideon wants to shout it from the highest hills so nothing private
  21. I was shocked when Eva and Gideon got married in Entwined in You. Was anyone else? I knew there were five books in the series by the time I finished Bared to You so I knew ETW would not be the final book. This is my first Sylvia Day series so are these types of surprises normal?
  22. I absolutely love this. CSLOL...(C=can't; S=stop)
  23. Listening to Eva and Brett at dinner and at her apartment after the video and recalling Gideon's frequent comments that women who wanted him did not know him makes me hope Sylvia will bring these characters to their senses in Captivated by You.
  24. This is a song originally recorded by Janice Joplin.  When I listened to it today I pictured Eva on her way to lunch with Mark and Steven at the Bryant Park Grill ....when she runs into Gideon.  "Take Another Little Piece Of My Heart" Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on! Didn't i make you feel like you were the only man ¡º yeah! An' didn't i give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ? Honey, you know i did! And each time i tell myself that i, well i think i've had enough, But i'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough. I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it, Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby! Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, oh, have a! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, You know you got it if it makes you feel good, Oh, yes indeed. You're out on the streets looking good, And baby deep down in your heart i guess you know that it ain't right, Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when i cry at night, Babe, and i cry all the time! But each time i tell myself that i, well i can't stand the pain, But when you hold me in your arms, i'll sing it once again. I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it! Take it!  Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, Oh, oh, have a! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good. I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it, Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby! Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c'mon now. Oh, oh, have a Have another little piece of my heart now, baby. You know you got it ¡º whoahhhhh!! Take it! Take it! take another little piece of my heart now, baby, Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh, oh, have a Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.  I know other places in the story are good too but the line "Yeah, out on the street" really made it fit that scene.
  25. If you can, ebooks!!! I do miss the touch of real books but for durability ebooks can't be beat. PS If I really like something, I get paper too. I can't wait for the five book box set!
