SPOILERS: Entwined with You Overall Discussion
Kirsten replied to LN Cronan's topic in The Crossfire Saga
Since I know GiGi doesn't have FB these are todays BTY quote posts:  â€œThere’s always the hope, but I expected it would take more work than a chance meeting over drinks.†- Gideon, BARED TO YOU    â€œDo you have any idea how crazy I am about you?†- Gideon, BARED TO YOU  -
I'm confused by this too.
-
Her son broken. The only person Gideon feels he can be himself in front of is Eva. Gideon told his mother what was happening to him when he was younger and she didn't believe him. Since that time he has never let her see the real him again. shame.
-
I doubt it. She has perfected the façade if the perfect family for the world and she's actually believing it herself.
-
That twist is what has me  Julie
-
 Plus she knows nothing about Eva. Thinking Eva is trying to take him from her. Please. Eva wants him to find healing.

 I had said months ago that there was a possibility that Gideon tracked down that ring since in all likelihood with the money that Geoffrey had scammed from people most of their stuff would have been seized and sold at public auction to recoup losses. I am not sure what type of relationship Lizzie thinks she has with Gideon, but clearly the woman is delusional.
-
She certainly does Sharon.

I can re-read it Barb, but I cry every single time I do. You would think I would be immune to it all, but I'm not.
-
 You know most of RIY was difficult for me to get through. I couldn't understand what Gideon was doing and my heart broke for the both of them over and over. I imagine this reading the same.

Hi Betty. I was a bit surprised they got married in EWY. I thought for sure we would have to wait until book 5. I think the reason why it was done is because it not keeps them bound together regardless of what happens in this next book, and I am anticipating this next book to be pretty heartbreaking. No doubt Gideva love each other, but sometimes life becomes overwhelming and you want to just give up. This ensures that they don't.

Julie I actually have this picture saved on my computer because he looks so happy.

 It's close enough to your bedtime Julie. Â

She did stay with Penguin for books 4 & 5.

Mothers and Fathers - Monica and Elizabeth and Victor and Geoffrey

I agree that I've always had a wee bit of a suspicion that he was murdered too Donnad. Â It also goes by people involved in the scheme Julie. Every person adds on another count. -

Mothers and Fathers - Monica and Elizabeth and Victor and Geoffrey

First I want to say that I am not giving up hope of this book being out by the end of the year. I have spoken with SD regarding this and her goal was always to have CBY out by the end of the year. If this book is not out by then it is on Penguin and not her.  Second the only person who could have initiated Gideon changing his last name really would have been Lizzie. As Gideon's only living parent and because of his age Lizzie would have had to initiate a name change. Chris wouldn't have needed to agree to it. She could have picked any sort of name for him and as long as the fees were paid and it wasn't offensive it would have been approved. I'm not sure that Gideon changing his name would have made a bit of difference at the time. I am sure Geoffrey's name was splashed everywhere so no doubt people knew he had a wife and a child and Geoffrey screwed people that were in his social circle so there was certainly no escaping that. Yes years down the line Gideon having a different last name would have been probably helpful, but at that point Gideon could have refused the name change even if Lizzie and Chris were all for it.  The same holds true for Chris adopting Gideon. When Lizzie and Chris Sr. married he certainly could have filed the paperwork to adopt Gideon and it would have been approved 1-2-3. That gets tricky with a say 12 year old Gideon because at that point a judge is going to heavily weigh what Gideon wants.  -
Mothers and Fathers - Monica and Elizabeth and Victor and Geoffrey
Kirsten replied to BettyY37's topic in The Crossfire Saga
  Hi ladies. I have always looked at Geoffrey Cross' character as being loosely based on Bernie Madoff. Now Ponzi schemes normally fall under the Federal Government jurisdiction so that is the same state to state. Now Bernie was sentenced to 150 years for his crimes. Even with time off for good behavior he would have never taken a breath of fresh air as a free man again.  As far as Vidal Sr. I go back and forth. I really had assumed that he and Lizzie were having an affair while Geoffrey was alive. My opinion changed on that front a bit with EWY. I walked away from that book thinking much like Sharon he's a decent guy, but spineless. -
I agree GiGI. These are Gideon's books and Eva is insecure. Not as insecure as she once was, but him closing himself off will trigger many things for Eva, she has to be strong enough to overcome that on focus on what he needs to get him healthy. It's certainly going to be a bumpy ride, but in the end they will both be much better off for having taken the journey.
-
Thank you Sharon and I agree. In turn that would also mean that Eva could abuse another. I just can't see all of that. Of course I maybe wrong but I can't even allow my mind to go there at this point.
-
She has said that several times so no worries.
-
Hi GiGi~ POS means piece of sh*t. Sorry I was so lazy. Â
-
It's so difficult to be a survivor of any sort of sexual abuse. Gideon is in a place where he thinks he played a role in this, that on some level he wanted this. He didn't want that. He was a child for goodness sakes. I do believe he trusts Eva, but at the same time he is ashamed of what happened and he has done everything in his power to bury it. He has a long hard road ahead of him.

I have been so swamped with work, but couldn't resist this morning when I had a free moment coming onto the site. Of course Sylvia had posted a few minutes before so I was thrilled. Â Book Bash will be held again next year. There has been talk of having it be a two day event and all of last years authors have been invited back. I am hoping Sylvia will be there again. I will let you know when I hear about tickets going on sale. It is supposed to be January, with the event being held at the same hotel the last weekend of June. Â Lastly, I hope you have enjoyed my book selections Sharon. Most of the authors I read are indie or start out that way at least.

I think you are right with the closing himself off and just handling things without even talking to Eva. She takes that as him shutting her out and she has trust issues.
