So thinking things over I've noticed that Corinne has worn red a couple of times  when she's been to see Gideon I believe Magdalene wore red once. Even the box with the photos was red.  I'm sorry but red is Gideon's and Eva's color. Anybody else notice this?

No, pretty sure Arash wasn't asked to see Corinne so minor change there.  I don't recall the bit about 'admire anything except Eva - objectively dispassionately.'  Nor the bit about not calling security.  And there's the bit about Corinne's goal.  I denied that I ever loved anyone before Eva - I think that is new.  There's also more description of Eva and how he sees her and feels her.

 

I think I'm going to finish reading CBY tonight just in case I do find the book tomorrow. If not my e-book should land in 24 hours 24 minutes (well perhaps a little longer than that as they don't always appear dead on midnight), and I've already  read chapter 1 and part of chapter 2.  I look forward to the surprising thing that happens later in chapter 2.

I am glad I am not the only one who didn't recall those other comments. Like I said earlier my friend talked me out of going to look for it even though she knows how impatient I am now.

sme chapter 2 was changed from what I can remember I one I read didn't have Arash going to confront Corinne. I still have 29 1/2 hours to go for my download .

sscrph I am also intrigued.

I have finished CBY (after several times reading all of them) and have read chapter 1 and the excerpt for chapter 2. I am ready now, so excited I can't wait.

Well, the first scene from Chapter 2 was technically posted long ago:  http://www.sylviaday.com/2015/06/15/one-with-you-excerpt-2/

There were some modifications during the writing process, which have been included.

Readers in Australia and New Zealand will start receiving their downloads in a matter of hours, since it's already Monday there. From that point, downloads will start working their way around the globe until the US catches up timezone-wise, so there won't be any more excerpts or snippets posted. We weren't able to post many this time around, to avoid giving away spoilers or causing worrying speculations.

Thank you so much!! I actually love that one. So excited to read One With You in its entirety. Have a safe flight to Connecticut!!

I am wondering if Corinne's book will be published, I am even more hoping that she goes back to France. But I think she will cause a little more trouble until Eva puts her in her place.  Anne, Deanna and Landon are still very dangerous. Someone mentioned that Dr. Peterson might be related to Anne I hope that is not the case I get the impression that he is "ON" Gideon and Eva's side and wants them to be together.

I feel we've had less teasers this time round, not many of the teaser Tuesday type of things have been from OWY, more often quotes from previous books or asking us questions to do with the other books. 

Having re-read almost all the previous books, I was reminded how, on the first read, I wasn't sure about Gideon at all, Eva was the character I was most interested in.  I remember reading the limousine scene after Eva kissed Brett and not really liking Gideon until I realised why he was doing what he was doing!  By the end of Reflected in You when it was revealed what he had done for Eva re Nathan I began to warm towards him.  Of course the first two books were about Eva, entirely from her POV so what we learned about Gideon was what he allowed her to know about him.  By the time I read CBY I was hooked on the man, and beginning to dislike Eva, but again realised what she was doing to heal her man. 

I have to admit I'm worried about any further revelations about Gideon's past with his women (I didn't like what he did to Anne but could understand why and part of what I read either last night or the night before was Gideon saying he had 'twisted Anne' where before I thought she might have led him into the depravity - whatever she obviously enjoyed it, whereas he didn't).  I'm a little scared that Anne may turn violent towards either Eva or Gideon but of course the Krav maga and the MMA should help if that does happen.

Slightly envious of those in the US who have been to Walmart today and got the book but for me it's about a 30.5 hour wait for the e-book to be released.

My friend talked me out of going to Walmart so I am envious also because I want to know that they live happily ever after if not I will be crushed. I do not want them to split up again they are just getting back together.

If One With You ends in September, it is going to be a very busy month for Eva and Gideon as well as everyone around them!

That's true because in CBY Gideon had said it was already September

"And I don´t gonna spoil it .. but like somebody already said .. Chapter 2 starts with Gideon´s POV! And within we will know more about the wedding and some mature ... well .. something surprising about which I am already in a big worry. More I wont say! Hope this is not already too much for one or another person here?"

Intriguing, going to speculate as I can't stop myself doing that even at this late stage - something Gideon got up to in the past that is not too 'nice'?

 

After reading that comment I thought about going out to bookstores but here in the UK Sunday Trading Laws mean stores are not open for many hours today and by the time I would get to any they would be closed.

 

But I think as I am going into Central London tomorrow I might visit one or two bookstores just in case, remembering last year I almost had CBY a day early (it was in my hands in the store but the assistant at the cash desk knew it shouldn't be on sale).

I'm nervous about sme's comment I'm hoping someone will talk me out of going to look for the book today even though I know I'll have it tomorrow night. 

I would love chapter 2 also, however I'm thinking of driving around to stores (like Walmart) because someone said they are selling it already. It's snowing here so chances are I won't go looking. Now I'm even more anxious to read it.

This is why I don't pre-order Ebooks.  I can't tell you how many times I don't get them on release day and have to wait.  I just order at midnight on release day and I have them like

every body who pre-ordered.  I know the authors like to have the sales to report before release but it just doesn't work for me.  I know the electronic ordering is better but I prefer to wait. 

Hi,  yes I was around for the other books.  I stop in every once in awhile but it felt like a lot of re-hashing old discussions so I waited until there was something new to discuss. 

Most people who get the books early get them at events or small stores where books aren't their number one business.  I got the last two early at grocery stores.  I don't think they sign the same agreements with publishers because their book shipments are so small.  Most grocery stores only have one book display and that is shared with magazines, coloring books, etc. 

I did not think of the books being in grocery stores, the one I go to is on the smaller side so it doesn't have a book/magazine section (maybe I'll go to the bigger store and check haha probably not though). I don't think that Cary is the father of Tatiana's baby (I was thinking she isn't pregnant) but I really didn't think it would be Yedemsky's that would be an interesting twist to the story. I don't think Cary let Anne into the building, someone said they thought that Eva saw Anne get off of the elevator which it only stated that she saw her leaving the lobby. I still don't trust Anne, Corinne or Deanna. Looking forward to reading OWY.

Wow, I do not know of anybody who has received OWY already. That is too bad that that happened to you I am glad that you were able to get it straightened out, I checked my Amazon account and I will be receiving my version on my Ipad which is scheduled for April 5th all previous books that I have ordered were on my Ipad at midnight so I am hoping that will be the case this time.  Charity is a very good thing.

Thanks I can't wait to read the ending of this book.

Hi Sharon it looks like you have been a member for a long time, I am fairly new so I am happy to read all of the posts that people share it makes me look deeper into the stories. Thank you.

Last night I read the chapter where Gideon meets with Corinne to try and convince her not to publish the book - in this chapter he 'ended up back on track' with Arnoldo.

Tonight is the chapter with the swing, tomorrow Gideon without Eva and Monday the final chapter plus the first chapter of One With You from the web site and then fingers crossed by the time I've read those (I begin reading at about 23.30) my e-book will have appeared and I will then force myself to stay awake to read the whole book.   I've found reading a chapter a day has been useful, I've spotted things I'd not really taken in before and helps cope with the time before the book is ready. 

I am where you are, I will be also reading chapter one in OWY on Monday night however I'll get my e-book at 12:00am est. I'm not sure I'll be able to read thru the night and go to work Tuesday (I work with kindergarten to grade 2 children they keep me running haha). 

I would be interested to know what you spotted that you haven't before, I tried reading them slowly this time but not so sure it was slow enough.

That time frame of June-September makes me a little nervous.  I hope we get the wedding and Gideon's birthday.  I guess OWY starts early September??  BTY was June/July, RIY July/August, EWY August, CBY August? then OWY.  I am sorta confused, cause I felt that RIY was the longer time frame since Gideon and Eva were apart so long until Eva learned the truth about the breakup?  Tuesday can't get here soon enough.  Hope my download from Amazon comes soon after midnight EST.

I thought BTY started in May I am obviously wrong. I also would like the wedding and Gideon's birthday. I remember Monica saying  that she can't get a wedding together before the end of the year so I thought the wedding would be December however September would be really good.

I understand, I like to have all of the books in a series already published because I get so anxious, I absolutely love the Crossfire Series and have read them several times which I will do with OWY.

Thank you for sharing the other interview. I am really excited to meet her on Monday and start OWY at midnight. I am trying to think of what questions I would like an answer to that she will feel comfortable answering.

What chapter are you on now?

I did pretty much what she said in the radio interview.  Now looking forward to the Blacklist due, hope it won't be long before they are released.

I read that at the back of OWY there is 7 pages written about Blacklist.

Her favourite scenes to write are arguments.

Asked which actress she would like to see play Eva "Someone in their early 20s, with lots of curves!"

 

Thank you for keeping me posted on the Twitter q&a. I appreciate it. 

Did you see the interview from star-telegram.com?

star-telegram.com has mentioned One With You I saw it on Sylvia's Twitter

Hmm, on Facebook again, someone else was able to buy the book last week and has read it, but they have had the courtesy not to spoil the story, "Already reading it ...found it at Book World last weekend ..it amazing!!!"

Nothing like completely ignoring an embargo on putting stuff out for sale.

I don't have Facebook so I have not seen any post about people reading it already. I'm glad you said they didn't spoil anything. 

Really great interview, thank you D500 for sharing!

Hi Nathalia, you had me thinking about Cary yes he needs to get his act together. In my opinion I do not consider him a bff to Eva for these reasons, he did not tell her about Brett being Six Ninths, he yelled at her after she came back from her wedding telling her she shouldn't leave cute messages on machines, he waved her away after Tatiana was walking through the apartment naked (he knew Gideon was in the apartment) like it was nothing, he yelled at her on the plane to San Diego when she said she was married, he gave her attitude in the limo was she was trying to find out if Anne told him her name, he did seem ungrateful for Eva offering him his own apartment in Gideon's penthouse. Yes he stood by her when they moved into her mom's after her fight with Gideon but Eva I feel is more of a bff to him. Anne probably was with Cary in her apartment who knows what snooping she did while there.

I hope Gideon doesn't go along with Eva about the tabloids. I love Chris Sr. and Ireland. I also hope Eva will help build Cross Industries with Gideon she is a Cross now.

I also get very emotional every time reading this series. 6 days away so excited.

 

I remember seeing on Sylvia's YouTube page they showed an interview with Angus and the receptionist, however I can not find it now and I don't remember if they said her name. Did anybody else see that video?

I was glad to see a teaser from Gideon. I am also thinking that Chapter 2 will be from Gideon.

I was thinking that Ireland's boyfriend is related to Landon because he said that his grandparents lost their money to Geoffrey I don't think that Hugh's family lost money to him.

I can't wait for Tuesday I am getting more anxious.

I myself didn't consider Anne as the therapist, I focused on Hugh because he was abuser. I do feel that Anne is now Corinne's therapist and gave her the wrong dosage or wrong med so she would act the way she did.  Don't get me wrong I think Corrine would do whatever she could to try to get Gideon back which will never happen.  I guess I am thinking that because I am reading CBY now. I would love to have all of the answers now even though we are getting closer.

Does anyone think Gideon will kick Christopher out of Videl ?  Gideon did say that if Christopher wanted a war he would give him one.    How many wars will happen with this book - Ann Lucas,  Christopher,  Landon?

I am not so sure he will kick him out totally, I remember the fight in Gideon's office when Christopher was down and Gideon could have finished but he talked himself out of it. Yes he said he would give him a war if Christopher wanted one, I was thinking that maybe he would some how take away a little more of Christopher's interest in Vidal. 

I know it was said last week that Anne got off of the elevator (in Eva's building) however I believe that that is incorrect, as Eva headed back into the lobby (CBY) from checking her mail she saw a woman exiting the building, her spiky red hair caught her attention. It does say that the concierge said they  haven't had any visitors who came in without a tenant today. So I am wondering if she did go in with Cary. I don't believe Eva had spoken to Cary that day she did meet with Trey. Just my thoughts.

Is anybody taking April 5th off to read, I am not sure if I can yet .

Yes after Eva got that upsetting phone call from her Dad saying he knew about Nathan Gideon had her look at the revamped website to get her mind fixating on something else.  Eva said they worked fast 

 

Thank you I don't know why I didn't realize that especially because I am re-reading EWY, that part must have been a late night reading.

Sylvia's latest question on Facebook and Twitter:  "Was it wrong of Eva to disclose Gideon’s past to his stepfather?"

Eva didn't realise Christopher did not know about the abuse so she technically wasn't disclosing anything to him so I'm okay with that.  But she was confronting Christopher about how she thought he had 'turned a blind eye' to his stepson being raped and here is where I am not so sure she should have got involved.  I know she was doing this out of her love for Gideon and her need to  confront those who had wronged him BUT she objects to Gideon's methods of protecting her, and he specifically told her he did not need her to fight his battles.  This is a little like that scene at the start of Captivated where she is telling Gideon she is confused over her feelings for Brett yet tells Gideon he is an a****** and has hurt her badly by mentioning Corinne (bearing in mind Eva was caught in an embrace with and kissing Brett whereas Gideon has - I believe - not been caught doing any such thing with Corinne).

 

The only thing I can think of is in RIY when Gideon was pulling away Eva saw a photo of him and Corinne he had his arm around her waist and I believe his lips near her forehead other than that I also don't believe he has done anything other than spend time with Corinne, oh and had his hand on her low back.
