I had read somewhere that we will see some characters from Crossfire in the Blacklist books. It was along time ago. Being set in New York maybe, she has recurring characters in the Georgian Series. I wounder how many books will be in the Blacklist Series? I guess we'll just have to wait. I hate waiting.

I was one who bought the e-book when it first appeared so it has been a long journey.  By the time I reached E L James books all three were available but I find Sylvia's books better written, the characters more believable.  I never really got how Ana was so immediately 'under Christian's spell' considering her innocence when they meet, whereas with Gideon and Eva it all seemed right.  (I also appreciated there was no bdsm as that is not my thing - although I suspect there may be something in Gideon's past). 

I am tending now to wait for a series to be complete before reading although there are some authors I will read as the parts are published.

I'd have liked to have finished reading the Crossfire series months ago but I do understand that for the right ending to the story we've had to wait for it to be written and despite the many moans on Facebook etc. about delays, I doubt any author 'writes to order' but needs to have the inspiration.  There's no set rules for writing books or how long there should be between parts of a series and I did find some people were pretty rude 'stamping their feet' demanding the book be published.

I agree, The Crossfire books are much better than FSG.  I think Christian brainwashed Ana, and he only "loved" her every time  she left him, or he thought she was leaving him. Gideon loved Eva from the beginning. There relationship isn't perfect, but they fight for what that want and that is each other. 

D500, you do have a lot of willpower only reading a chapter a day. I've read all the books numerous time over the last year. I feel for those that read them from the very first release of BTU. I only started reading them last November. It dove me nuts, when I realized the series wasn't complete. If I had to wait all these years for the ending, I'd be crazy by now. I try not to read incomplete series now.

In RIY towards the end of the book  (Ch 17) when Eva confronts Gideons mother at that private club with the big band. Elizabeth says "I'm Christopher's mother, too, and he was there. He swears nothing happened. Who was I supposed to believe with no proof." 

That means Christopher Jr knows what Gideon says happened and either lied to parents, really didn't know, or was scared to say anything. 

We also know that at least some of the abuse happen in a bathroom, so Christopher Jr might not have witnessed it. Who know, I hope we find out.

Gideon would have been around 12 when he was abused. He said they started seeing a therapist when Christopher was 5, and he is around 6/7 years older than Christopher Jr. He also said the abuse lasted for a year. I fully believe Christopher was abused also, but being so young he might not remember. The issue of   Elizabeth telling Chris, and Gideon saying the discussed it over dinner. I think Elizabeth probably said something like "I took Gideon to the doctor" and that was it.   

What do you think will happen with Cary? I want him to get his HEA, too. 

I didn't see the teaser yesterday, so maybe there is a wedding. OWY, is 250 pages,or that's what is says on Ibooks, seems really short for everything that needs to be adressed. All the other books were over 350.

I'm not sure if there will be a second wedding. They are telling people so I'm not sure if there needs to be another wedding. I'm  just thinking there is a lot of stuff to clear up and this will be the shortest of all the books. Also the other book consist of about 3 to 4 weeks in time. I'm really curious how she's squeezing in so much.  I just thing there is a lot of ground to cover other than the wedding.

 

This is my first time to post on here, and if this topic has been talked about before I apologizes. Do you think Christopher Jr was also abused by Hugh? Their mother said he was there and said nothing happened. Christopher was so young 5/6 years old. Just something I thought about after re-reading the books again a few weeks ago.
