there's a tweet that asks where should Eva, Cary and friends go for her bachelorette party?  Las Vegas. Rio, Miami, or Ibiza.  I would pick Las Vegas since Gideon owns property there and her SD friends would be closer.  Or better yet since Gideon is due a batchelor party they should combine them (this would alleviate the jealous and possesivnes of them both).  Have another group party starting on Gideon's plane and ending in Vegas, since Eva likes to drink and have sex they will be close to each other!!!

It was strange for Gideon not to kiss Eva goodbye on the lips.....Hope things are going well for them!!

I'm starting to this the teaser and the Wedding Wednesday are related.  They had been traveling and by her saying she didn't want him to be sick for the wedding makes it seem the wedding will be within days. So they had combined or at the very least partied in the same city. Maybe something happened during the trip that now he has to "deal" with. Less than two weeks to go!

if she's worried about him getting sick, maybe she is sick and that is why he wants her to nap and only kisses her on the head

Just finished RIY, man it twist my stomach when Gideon tell Eva about his abuse, and then again when the detective tells Eva about Gideon killing Nathan. I haven't read this book as many times as the others, because it's just all around too sad. Not as sad as a Colleen Hoover book, I don't cry, but dang to much emotions. Now, onto EWY, my favorite of the books. Hoping OWY will become my favorite. Hope we get a teaser sometime today.

At the very end of Captivated by You, Eva tells Gideon Mark has received "a retention offer" from Waters Field & Leaman to which she adds she does not know what Mark is going to do.  Gideon asks Eva if she will come to Cross Industries if Mark makes the move.  Her response is "I'm not sure yet...."

This exchange takes place on the last two pages of CBY! 

I think he'll go to CI, the offer was too good.

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. 

 

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 wondered about that too, Mark seemed shocked that she was quitting. I thought, why did it matter if he was going to work at CI. Maybe he wanted her to stay till the end of October with him, then that would give him time to try to talk her into going with him to CI.

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 also agree I don't think Cary has anything to be forgiven for. They were not exclusive, even though I think Tray wasn't seeing anyone other than Cary. Mostly because I don't think he had time due to work and school schedule. He wasn't happy about Tat, but mostly because she was a woman. Cary said himself, Tray wouldn't be half as mad if it was another man. 

 

Another topic we discussed previously, Dr Lucas. I just started RIY, and yes Dr Lucas was married when Gideon was 12/13.  He's 45, and been married for 20 years, so yes Hugh was his brother in law at the time of the abuse. So there is my question again, why would Elizabeth consult the brother in law of her son's accused abuser. I want that answer.

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?

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. 

Lily is the female, maybe a cousin to the Vidal's? I get we'll wait and see!

I'm sure when Sylvia started writing these books she thought it would be 3, but as the story progressed there was just too much for 3 books. I get irritated when I read series and at the last of the book the author seems to cram all the answers at once  I'm glad we are able to see thing pan out in a timely manner. Also it seems in other series not all the questions are answered. I hope that's not the case in OWY.     

What did ya'll think of Jeremy York's voice for Gideon? I didn't like it at first, but it grew of me. The Crossfire Series are my go to audio books when I'm doing yard work, so it will be nice to have a new one. Lots of yard work in Texas and it all starts in April! Started reading BTY this morning!  

I'm thinking we'll get some more Chapter 1 on Good Friday or Easter, but today would be nice. Happy St Patrick's Day!

another thought concerning Elizabeth.  When Eva first confronted her Elizabeth said that Christopher was there and said nothing happened.  Why take the word of a 5/6 year old over a 10/11 year old?  also if they were in the bathroom alot, who would have seen them?  Maybe Hugh didn't bother Christopher because of his age, and if Gideon's abuse stopped after a year, hopefully Hugh was sent packing from whoever stopped Gideon's abuse!!  Like everyone says, we have to wait until 4/5/16 to get our answers.

I think as a 5/6 year old, Christopher would have been more scared to say anything especially if Hugh had threatened him. Gideon didn't say anything for almost a year, so I would think there was some kind of threat. Also, if he wasn't abusing Christopher, Gideon's abuse happened in the bathroom so Christopher wouldn't have seen it. 

I never thought about Angus putting a stop to it. I like that, he's a good man. I agree if he found out he would done anything to protect Gideon. 

Another thing about Elizabeth, I will be curious if will be discussed in OWY, is why she would "consult" a doctor that is the brother in law of her child's accused molester? That in it's self is strange. I don't think Dr Lucas actually ever examined Gideon. He says himself Gideon was never his patient.  We know he had a role in the covering it up, but I hope we get more specifics.

Deanna - according to  Gideon he used her to keep Anne Lucas  from approaching him.  'She was a mistake in every sense.  She made herself available once, and I make it a rule to avoid overly eager women a second time.'  Eva recalled how he had handled his relationship with her after they first had sex, shutting down and shutting her out, leaving her feeling used and worthless.  Gideon also mentioned he barely said more than a dozen words to her altogether.  That sounds like she was hanging around when Anne was there, Gideon picked up on the fact she was available and as they seemingly didn't speak much, they may well have gone straight to the f*ck pad.  He obviously was not really into her so when the phone rang he took the call and got himself out of  the situation of having to have sex of some kind with Deanna (possibly with toys) just because she had made herself available.

So if Deanna  did make herself available in that way with someone who had a reputation for rarely going with the same person twice, what the heck did she expect?  She's a journalist so must have been aware of who he was and his reputation.  Now, of course, as a journalist, she has the ability to investigate and 'publish the dirt'.  She's pushing the violent thing - we know from his thoughts that he was more depraved with Anne than other women (not that he lets Anne know she was anything different to the others) and that makes me think that Deanna has talked to Anne, whether as a patient or as a journalist we don't know - but as his relationship with Anne is not known by most, to me it seems likely that Deanna has been Anne's patient and maybe somehow Anne has said something to Deanna about Gideon?

And I too wonder how, if Gideon really has been with so many women, other than rumours of him being dark, no-one has said anything about what he got up to at the f*ck pad.  The fact he didn't always have penetrative sex with the women would be something that might have been discussed - he must have been picking up women who moved in the same circle a lot of the time.  The main thing that was known was the preference for brunettes, particularly Corinne who is very like his mother.  Also consider that Maggie was with him a lot of the time, she was the one Eva discovered in photos with Gideon when she first googled about him, yet Maggie doesn't let anything slip other than his attraction to brunettes (Corinne). 

We know from Afterburn/Aftershock that Deanna will stoop low in her journalism career.

Hanging by a Moment

And why, when Chris confronted Gideon's mother over the abuse, did he then leave her?  They've seemingly had a long, presumably happy, marriage up to this revelation.  Chris's reaction to the information was great, confronting Lucas and thumping him.  But walking out on his marriage - one wonders exactly what reasons Elizabeth gave him for not having told him what happened, and as someone else mentioned, there was another child on the premises (that of course could be what he flung at Elizabeth and made him walk away . . . . )

I think he left her because she lied to him/ kept it from him. His son was also exposed to Hugh and as we discussed before could have also been abused. Elizabeth is a selfish woman and has deceived her husband.  I believe she  didn't want to believe Gideon because if it was true,  there would be police involved the media would find out and that would look bad for their family.  

If it is every makes it to TV, we have to remember that it's TV so no big movie stars are going to fill these rolls. I think Jared Padalecki  would be a good Gideon. He has the look, the hair, and a great smile.  

Eve told Gideon he didn't know what he was wroth one time and his said yes he does 24 Bill, then Eva cut him off. 12 Billion would be half of his self worth.

Every time I read RIY I get very anxious, I have thought the same thing and then I wonder if maybe Raul was there and it just wasn't mentioned. Wasn't Angus sitting in the limo waiting because Eva was trying to get to the limo to Angus before Brett saw her which we know didn't happen leading to the kiss and then the fight.

I also think Raul was there. They would have brought someone younger to keep an eye on things during the concert. Also at this point Eva doesn't know Raul so he could blend in.

Was Gideon in Aftershock/burn? 

No, and Deanna was only in a small part of the book. 

I only read Aftershock/Burn one time (I really didn't care for it) and it was alone time ago, but from what I can remember Deanna and Gina (I think was her name) were old "friends" and Deanna stabbed her in the back writing an article that was really bad. If she could do that to a "friend" there is no is Eva and Gideon can trust her.

I think a light bulb went off in my head, I've reread (probably the 10th or 12th time) and at the end of EWY and Anne approached Eva at the gala she said she knows of two women who have experienced severe depression over Gideon I'm thinking one is Corinne and maybe the other could be Deanna do you think this will be answered in OWY? And in CBY at the beginning Gideon was sifting through his emails and drafting quick answers and worked his way toward the subject line that had caught his eye the moment his email opened, any idea what was in that subject line or will that be revealed in OWY? I'm hoping for another excerpt I'm thinking maybe in the middle of March, I can't think of any other "special day" that is coming up. I will be at her event at Mohegan Sun and I can't wait.

I always thought the email had something to do with Bret and wanting to use the sextape  in the redo of the video.

I reread the excerpt from Natasha is a book junkie and where Gideon asked Eva to meet her for lunch and said she would enjoy it I'm thinking that his business lunch could possibly be with Mark. Anybody thinking the same thing? I could be wrong.

that's good! She always loved her Wednesday lunches with Mark and Steve.

I'm happy! The only thing is, it seems they are still living apart. She with Cary, so that would mean she's not at the penthouse.

We need a new topic to talk about!   How about Cary - what do you think will happen with him?  Go out on his own without Eva,  settle down with Tat,  will she abort the baby or miscarry it,  will it be someone else's baby, what about Trey???

Cary has is own issues, but I'm thinking he's growing and dealing with it. I hope if it is Cary's baby that Tat will give him the baby. I don't think she would be a very good mother anyway. I hope Trey and Cary work things out, maybe raise the baby together. 

 

I was bummed  we didn't get a teaser again yesterday. It's been weeks! I'd like one with Eva and Cary. I love Cary!

I forgot about Deanna being in Afterburn/Shock. I didn't really care for those books that much. I haven't read Blood and Roses. I might check it out.
