I think we will get more about Monica because Eva said she wanted to involve her more and maybe we will get what Monica was referring to in EWY when she told Eva she will tell her when Eva is no longer upset with her

Both women made good points about letting info out about Gideon and Eva as a couple.  Some info is good, pictures of them together and such, but nothing too intimate.  Like Eva wanted to do in EWY....let the world know that Corrine was married.  People need to remember that she broke  up with Gideon, went and married another guy....like this has been at least 4 years.  Why write a tell all now???  Make it look like Corrine is seeking attention.

Eva needs to talk this over with Gideon and make sure he is on board with idea.  

Now we need chapter two!!  I know....the whole thing will be available 4/5/16!!

Happy Easter everyone

Happy Easter to you also! I really like your thinking, it never said in EWY that Gideon fixed his website I hope he did put all of it in.

I loved when Monica told Eva that she was much more interesting than herself...Seems that Monica is aware of her own flaws and has her own insecurities

Agreed, I am also happy that Victor called Monica to discuss Eva and Gideon's eloping I wonder if we will get if the conversation also included what they did.

One of those excerpts would be nice, better yet I wish it was April 5th haha not that I want to rush life but I'm anxious and excited. I am happy they are still going to dinner and hopefully that is after the Dr. Peterson appointment. I do hope she tells Gideon her plans.

I thought previously that they were getting married in December but as I reread the last part she says fall is the perfect time to renew their vows?

That was a great end to chapter one but it leaves me uneasy for a few reasons... I think what Monica fears is that the story of Eva's abuse will somehow become public???? Of course she doesn't voice this to Eva but I still remember Gideon's ominous words in BTY about destroying the journalist or publication that would ever publish such a story. That being said this could also tie into the previous snippet about him asking if she was staying home. I think someone already mentioned that maybe Gideon didnt want Eva to see something. So here we are almost one week to go hopefully these last few days go quick. I expect Sylvia will also give us chapter 2 right before the release. Happy Easter everyone.

 

I agree with you about it being a great way to end chapter one, and it also left me uneasy. I did however like how she wanted to contact Gideon to vent to him I hope she does tell him what she wants to do so they can keep the line of communication between them open. Do you really think we will get chapter two?

Final part of chapter 1 is published on Sylvia's web site. 

Thank you, I read it however I won't say anything yet until everyone else has read it.

Happy Easter @SylDay we're down to single digits now #OneWithYou 9 days woohoo!!

I was thinking in that excerpt from hero's and heartbreaker's when I felt Gideon was strange, he was dressed in one of his suits so that in my eyes means that whatever he has to take care of is business as to where when he would meet Brett he was always dressed in jeans and sweats because it was personal. I wonder if Deanna some how found out about what Nathan did to Eva and Gideon is going to stop it and hide the reports. Just my thinking.

I think Gideon 'used' Deanna like he 'used' Corrine. He somehow made Anne believe there was something serious between him and Deanna just like he used Corrine to make Eva believe things were over with them. Here's a theory: Gideon 'dated' Deanna, took her out in public a few times, made sure she was one of the many gorgeous brunettes he was photographed with at society functions. He went out of his way to make Anne believe she'd been dumped for Deanna. I'm certain he told Eva the truth about the sex part: he slept with Deanna only once, and that was it: and that was the end, too: he cut Deanna right off. I can see Gideon going on a head trip soon as he stuck his ####  in Deanna. He'd just broken his rule about not having sex with a woman he dated. The way Deanna tells it, Gideon didn't even finish the deed: he kicked her out of bed and then avoided her after that. Now Magdalene's words to Eva make sense: about him not respecting women he sleeps with and once he stuck his #### in her, he was done. Maybe that is how it played out in real life with Deanna?

I don't think it was ever mentioned that while Eva was looking at Gideon's social media sites that Deanna was in any of the photo's the media did report that he had a bevy of beauties, again I could be wrong. I just finished reading chapter 7 in EWY where Deanna and Eva had the phone conversation where she stated that he answered the phone before he was done.  It is possible that he dated her and "used" her for more than the one time.

Just seen a comment on Facebook that some US stores are already selling the book - disappointing if they are - if it was a day or two before publication a mistake could have occurred but this far away it is unforgiveable to put the book out.  So let's hope no-one gives the storyline away.  Surprised that copies have already been sent to the stores, after last year's problems it might have been wise of the publishers not to distribute the books until a couple of days before release.

 

In my re-reading chapter of CBY last night I picked up on this:

 

Gideon speaking to Eva about his visits to Dr Petersen: "You're assuming Hugh is the problem," I said evenly, feeling the burn of hatred and humiliation in my gut.  "We've been talking about my father instead." She recalls he has two ways of waking from his dreams - ready to beat someone up or crying like his heart is breaking and she knows the former is to do with Hugh.

 

I live in the US (on the East Coast) and would also be disappointed if they were selling it now as anxious and impatient that I am I still wouldn't purchase it now. So I called my local Barnes and Noble bookstore and asked if I can come in to buy it and they told me they don't have it yet and will be available on April 5th she asked if I wanted to pre-order it, that made me a little happy knowing it was not there.

 

I'm wondering if, when Gideon during his nightmares cries is because maybe he did witness his father killing himself, I'm not sure your thoughts?

I think I have posted this before but I think Anne is the biggest threat to Eva. I really think she wants to do physical harm to Eva because I think she has really lost it . I'm sure she was talking about herself when she stated that some women have developed severe depression due to Gideon. I think Cary is definitely the one that let her into the apartment building that day and if this is the case , the fact that she is penetrating Eva's inner circle can only spell big trouble. Won't be long till we know all the answers!!

I agree with you especially since Anne was the one with Cary at that gala. I think she knew who he was then and has just been waiting to make her move. Cary didn't know her name and Eva didn't tell him who she was. I hope Eva gets to use her Krav Maga skills on Anne if she needs to. 

I'm re-reading EWY now and will have CBY done by April 4th.  I don't think I'll have OWY done within 4 hours and of course I will re-read it a few times to make sure I didn't miss anything.  The dark moments scare me I too cry every time I read RIY like I've mentioned a few times before RIY makes me very anxious. The end of CBY was with Anne in Eva's building and Corinne's book release so I'm thinking that OWY will start with those characters not too far into the book. We don't know where in OWY the excerpt which Gideon is acting weird is, maybe they are just getting back from the outer banks from finalize the wedding Eva volunteered Gideon to take care of the lodging.  I wish OWY was out tonight or tomorrow since I have a 3 day weekend. We are not far from single digit days woohoo!!

13 days and counting, I'm so anxious and excited that it is making me crazy hahaha. With the size of the book we should have all answers.  Again I am hoping for a happy ending!

Sylvia posted a link to the scene on Facebook with the following words:

 

"Who wants to start their week with a scene from ‪#‎OneWithYou‬?"

So presumably it is from the book.

I wonder if Eva's decision to quit is more that she really needs to get a move on to arrange the wedding and it would be simpler if she were not working?  Once that is over with she can start on the charity work.  She was giving a surprisingly short notice of leaving if going on the Friday of the week the book opens with.

One of the videos Sylvia posted on Facebook has Eva thinking 'Had I demanded more of him than I had of myself?'.  That could be why she is back in his bed, he's been opening up which we know is hard for him to do and to deny him the closeness he needs would not be fair.

In about two weeks most of us will know for sure.

The chapter of CBY I read last night had the confrontation with Christopher.  I noted Gideon's thought:  'It was the sad truth that I brought out the worst in my brother.  The only times he ever acted cruelly or rashly was when he was trying to hurt me.  I'd seen him give brilliant speeches, charm people with his natural charisma, and impress board members with his industry savvy, but he never displayed those traits towards me.'  I'm assuming Gideon is classing Christopher's treatment of Magdalene in the 'trying to hurt me' genre of actions.  Something has to have happened as a child over Christopher - maybe whatever that was has something to do with Elizabeth's attitude to Gideon's abuse?  Gideon is obviously oblivious to whatever it was - could he have been having nightmares even before the abuse, as a result of his father's suicide and in his sleep did something to Christopher who feels that Gideon has always wanted him dead?  Not certain how old Christopher actually is, Gideon was 5 when his dad died, his mum re-married quickly so assuming Gideon was 7 when Christopher was born and Gideon is about to be 29, Christopher has to be 21/22 so quite young in the business world.

 

I enjoy reading your posts and to where you are in the series it makes me think more about everything. I said previously that I did not get a good feeling about the excerpt I don't want Gideon to hold information back from Eva so if it is a true excerpt I am hoping that he has a good surprise for her, I also got the impression that he was very distracted and don't remember him just kissing her on the head when ever they parted for the day.

Shan 12 I did not think of that but as you point it out as did sscrph I said from when I read that excerpt that it wasn't settling right in my stomach. But time will tell when we read OWY if it is a true excerpt. Thank you for your input.

It is odd Gideon being so evasive and wanting to make sure that Eva will be home that day.   Very weird for him to say, stop nagging, and he is full of himself stating that he could f**k her with his blue tie on when he gets home!!

If I remember correctly, Mark had stated at the Wednesday lunch that he had a problem.  He had told WFL about his offer to go to CI and that he would be leaving in October.  Then WFL gave him a counter offer (not as much $$ as CI), but Mark feels some loyalty to them and is afraid that LanCorp will pull the account if he is not there to handle it.  That is when Eva tells him that no matter what she wouldn't/can't work on that account with him.  So don't know why Mark is so surprised or shocked.

I don't believe Tatiana's baby is Cary's.  Remember she just came back in RIY after being gone for a photo shoot and that is when she learned about Cary's attack.  She could have fooled around when she was out of town.  They aren't exclusive either.

Hope we do get an Easter addition to chapter one!!  The exerpts are nice, but I can hear Sylvia laughing in the background about our speculations.

Oh yeah. did you guys see the photo/tweet of the difference in size of OWY and RIY?!  Two weeks from now hopefully I will be almost finished reading OWY

I totally agree with everything that you say. My friend read the excerpt and she didn't think anything of it I told her she was wrong haha. I did see the photo/tweet and it is making me even more excited to think all of the questions will be answered.  I may have to call in sick on April 5th so I can read the entire book.

I hope it's a good surprise. Remember Eva's biggest problem was that no one told her anything so I really hope Gideon isn't keeping info from Eva because that will not go over well. 

I like everyone's opinions, I hope we get more of chapter one by this coming weekend. I convinced a co-worker to read the series she just finished RIY and understands why I was so anxious when I read it even after all of the times that I have read the series. She's starting EWY today she loves the series also.  I really really need a happily ever after!! Two weeks from today!!

Wonder if he wants to be sure she will be at home because he has a surprise delivery for her??? 

 

Also if you are an iBooks user you can now get a sample of One With You - it is just the parts of Chapter 1 from Sylvia's web site but it means you have it to hand.  Go to the book on iTunes and below the purchase button is 'get sample' - mine took a little while to actually appear on my device - iTunes has nested all the novels into one folder on my iPad and I only discovered it just now because I found most of the Day novels needed updating (Captivated has minor text changes and others something to do with extras has changed - not sure what the extras are as I can't see them). 

Thank you I like your thinking (I'm just anxious). I don't think I have iBooks I'll have to check (it's 9:15 am where I am not sure of your time) tonight.

In the snippet I think Gideon is definitely being secretive about something...Eva usually picks up on it but  because she is so tired  she's not feeling it.

Yes I agree with you and that's what makes me anxious. 

Now someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I remember in CBY that Mark took the position with Cross Industries but in the first chapter of OWY and Eva gave her notice I got the impression that he wasn't going to work at Cross Industries and I wrong?

I just re-read that excerpt, I don't know why I have a funny feeling but it's probably because he was rushing out so early and why he asked "You're staying home today, right?" then she said wait, you've got a dozen of those ties? Which he replied "It's your favorite, then said again "Home, right?" I don't know why he wants to make sure she is staying home. I mentioned earlier that I thought they were arguing it's probably because he told her to stop nagging him and called her grumpy.  My mind is racing I'm so excited about the book coming out so I think I'm getting anxious. I just love this series so much!!

Just realised the cold comment may be due to the old wives tale about going out with wet hair can cause a cold.

Yes I know that old wives tale too. I agree Gideon in a blue tie with those eyes!! 

2 minutes ago, D500 said:

They've been somewhere by plane, not sure why she worries he will catch cold (may depend on where they have just been?).  They've only just got home (he went straight into the shower when they got home and his hair is still wet)  As usual he is full of energy, she isn't. 

I don't think they've been arguing, she's just tired and probably not really looking forward to her mom and the consequent talking about the wedding where Monica will have her own ideas which will not match Eva's. 

Hmm, Gideon in just a blue tie . . . . .  .

Thank you! I'll re-read it tonight when I have more time. I did re-read yesterday the excerpt from Natasha's site. Where are you in CBY?

Just a quick note I'll think and write more tonight. I read that excerpt I got a funny feeling in my stomach (I read it quickly, I saw it in Twitter) why was he rushing out it seemed like they were arguing am I wrong? What are your thoughts?

there is a tweet from Sylvia asking....Should Trey forgive Cary?    That is a hard question.  Was their relationship exclusive?  Didn't Cary meet both Trey and Tatiana at the same time?  I mean if you have casual sex with lots of people (even if you are "careful") accidents do happen, Trey just can't get pregnant.  Don't really know if Cary has done something to be forgiven for? other than having relations with men and women.  Did Trey know about the blonde that Cary did at the Advocacy dinner the first night that Gideon and Eva had sex?  That is a really hard question, but can Trey be with Cary knowing that he may or may not be having a baby?  Just glad that I don't have to decide.  Can't wait for 4/5/16!!

I saw that tweet and have been thinking about it, I don't think they were exclusive and I agree that I'm not sure Cary has anything to be forgiven for. I'm also not sure that it is Cary's baby because I got the impression (maybe in my own mind) that Tatiana "got" around.  It is a very hard question, one I'm glad I don't have to decide either. I'm hoping for more of Chapter 1 this coming weekend. 15 days!!

I wouldn't care if the series was 10 books long....just love this couple!!

I believe they are talking about the audio version of the books.  I think you can hear them on you tube under sylvia day.  CBY is the first book that had both narrators.

First, thank you for the information I appreciate it, an I totally agree with you I love this couple and series I will be very sad when I'm done reading but then Ill have them all to keep re-reading them all the time.

He's the narrator for Gideon's POV in CBY's  audio book . He will also be reading it in OWY. His voice was a bit rough, I alway imagined Gideon's voice would be smooth. 

Thank you for the information I appreciate it.

 

I'll check out youtube!

As impatient as I am, I am very glad that it is 5 books. I believe Sylvia's characters took her further into their lives that she originally thought. I don't think she will cram the answers in I read that the chapters are very long.  People complained that OWY wasn't out in 2015 on Sylvia's coming soon page it stated that the COVER will be released in 2015 which it was it did not say the book would be (at least not any where I read).  Also, I'm at a loss where did you hear Jeremy York's voice for Gideon I don't have Facebook so if it was on there I won't be able to hear it . Can someone tell me where to find it please?

I remember in EWY (the Friday before Gideon and Eva got married) Monica and Eva went out to lunch (she had met Mr. Giroux in the lobby) Monica said she had things to tell Eva but she wouldn't, Eva said explain it to me and Monica said "Maybe someday. When you're not so upset with me." I have always wondered what it is that she's not telling Eva.

D500 what chapter are you on in CBY?
