I enjoyed reading these 2 books too. It's too bad Gia and Jax don't run in the same circle as Eva and Gideon then Eva would know Deanna's dirty little secret. Wouldn't that be something fun?

I love it! It's perfect and fitting!

Not the first time someone complained out this individual...! I should known better!!

Silly me shoulda known tricks are for kids..!

I'm trying to get caught up on these threads from yesterday. Super busy with the last day of school yesterday. I was beginning to get discouraged and about to quit reading but I see now, that hopefully everything has been resolved. I love reading everyone thoughts and inputs. Y'all keep up the good work.

It kind of annoyed me in BTY that even though they broke up Eva still went to his parent's house for the record party. Even though it was for Cary's career.

NOW-I'm put off that she got the engagement ring that used to belong to Elizabeth. I get that Gideon remembers happy times with the three of them when he was very young. And maybe the ring is special to him. Elizabeth is so toxic-I don't think I'd want it on my finger.

I do find it weird she is wearing Elizabeth's ring.  They do even like Elizabeth. I would NOT want to wear my mother in laws ring. I know it represents a happy time in his life but Eva needs her own ring, maybe one that he's designed.  They are starting out a new life together, a fresh start.

Can i just start of by saying that their wedding was freaking perfect! I personally wouldnt mind eloping but my mom would kill me lol.... also everytime Angus called Eva Mrs. Cross I was grinning and felt all giddy!! Ahhh

Wasn't that totally awesome.  I really really loved the prenup.  What a sweet man!!!

Now that I have read EWY and now I'm re-reading( slowly) I just want it to be Friday so I can start dicussing it with everybody.

Me too. 

 I want to Thank You All for the your insight and theories and pictures and synopsis.  I am so looking forward to more in EWY.

This forum has been absolutely wonderful and so much fun! 

 

I will be downloading soon, very soon.  YAY!!!!

Given Sylvia's dismay about the embargo not holding 100%, I feel a bit guilty now that I managed to acquire a copy before Tuesday. She's got to be even more frustrated than ever with her publisher.

 

But all along, I planned -- and I still will keep to this -- to abide by my own personal embargo against discussing spoilers. Not until the morning after the U.K. release am I going to start discussing any of the Entwined chapters. 

 

The only things I will say before then is I very much loved the book, and that Sylvia really delivered on those nightclub snippets that gave us a little foreplay into some sexy time between Gideon and Eva.

Awww, don't feel guilty. Embrace it. I've looked this weekend at a few places but to no avail. It won't be long now for the rest of us.

Well my Publix had a copy, had it in my hot little hand. So I went to check out and the cashier looks at the book funny and calls the manager over. The manager then tells me the book was stocked early by mistake and they can't sell it to me today. Then he had to add insult to injury and asked if I wanted to go ahead and pay and I could pick it up Tuesday 8am. I told him no I already had one on pre-order. I swear I almost cried in the store.

I think I would have read it right there inthe store. Haha

He's BEAUTIFUL!!!

You know what? I wouldn't mind them hiding as long as they are happly together, cherishing each other, laughing and wihispering on a bed master.

they need lots and lots of alone time. 

OMG, I'm getting super excited now, it's getting close. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! I've printed off the recap of the snapshots so i can refer back to them as I read.  

I'm a MONICA HATER also ...

me too....and that husband of hers needs to grow some b*lls!

I feel terrible, I work in Edinburgh, born in Edinburgh and Scottish through and through yet not purchased this book yet, I must look for it online tonight 

 

These books of Samantha Young are a fun read. 

We visited Edinburgh last year and loved it.  Would love to go back and spend more time there.

I agree, don't stop with the phrases, they're fun!!

In England students go to university normally between 18 and 21. Is it similar in America? If yes, then I would say Monica did get a degree most probably.

I thinking Monica probably did not go to college or get a degree. She had been disowned by her family and a baby to take care. She probably had to work to support herself and Eva until she found someone to support her and her baby.

When Eva returns from lunch, she sees Gideon's care parked outside the Crossfire building.  She assumes he just returned from lunch.  How could he have returned from lunch, when he was still in his office when she was leaving for her lunch.  He must take the shortest lunches.  She only has an hour.  

My question is: why did Angus offer to take Corrine home when he was waiting to take Gideon to a meeting which he was already late for. 

I like Julianne Hough as Eva

This was my favorite. http://www.davidyurman.com/shoponline/product.aspx?itemid=Y18D9&folderid=/women/rings&keyword=Crossover

I received a David Yurman catalog this week and the ring was in there.  I am so asking for one for my anniversary.  I hope David Yurman has plenty to sell.  :-)

WOW!!! Thanks Sylvia!  You just made my day.  :-)

If you can stand a mini-lesson in U.S. history ....

 

The criminal laws and the punishments for committing crimes are not all the exact same thing everywhere in the United States. Each of the 50 states has its own particular versions of the laws. Yes, murder is murder everywhere. But in some states, the maximum penalty is execution. Other states don't have a death penalty, and instead their maximum sentence is life in prison.

 

Then there are Federal criminal laws too. Certain crimes are prosecuted in the federal courts. Like domestic terrorism, organized crime (i.e. Mafia and similar organizations), taking kidnapped children across state lines, etc.

 

However, no matter which set of criminal laws applies - crimes in a particular state (like New York) or Federal crimes, certain things apply everywhere. Most of all what applies are "constitutional rights" -- rights guaranteed every citizen under the U.S. Constitution. When the original framework of the U.S. Government was built over 200 years ago, the founders created a set of principles to try to prevent some sorts of government abuses they'd seen under feudal governments centuries ago -- especially abuses of the government arresting, trying, convicting and imprisoning citizens.

 

Most of the "rights" you hear about when reading about American crime cases, fiction and in real life, stem from one of the oldest parts of the U.S. Constitution, what's known as the "Bill of Rights." It's a list of ten things, "Amendments" that spell out basic rights promised to all citizens of this country.

 

The "right to silence" is covered under the Fifth Amendment. When you hear something like "I plead the Fifth" it means a person is claiming his/her right to refuse to answer any question police ask that could incriminate him/her. The police cannot force people to tell them things that the police can then use as evidence against them.

 

The "right to a lawyer" is covered under the Sixth Amendment. (In fact, most of rights that concern criminal cases fall under the Sixth Amendment.) If a person wants one, he or she can have a lawyer present when talking to the police -- and most definitely, every person standing trial for a crime has a right to a lawyer, even if the government has to pay the bill.

 

So why do these rights apply to Eva? She didn't kill Nathan. She didn't even know he was in town.

 

She has these rights because it's remotely possible the police could try to accuse her of being involved. She could actually be 100% innocent, but still, the authorities could try to arrest her because they don't believe she's innocent. Because the mere possibility exists she could be implicated, she has a right to have a lawyer with her when the police try to ask her any questions. If she and her lawyer feel it would be bad for her to answer a particular question, she can invoke her right to silence.

 

The right to silence and the right to a lawyer do NOT mean the cops are forbidden to approach Eva. The rights do NOT mean the cops are forbidden to tell her things either. But those rights do mean she does not have to TELL the police things in return. She has every right to have a lawyer beside her -- and to even keep her mouth shut, if she chooses.

 

Most times, when someone possibly involved in a crime says he/she wants a lawyer, all questioning should immediately cease. If the cops keep asking questions, they've gone into a very dangerous place where they could get caught violating a person's constitutional rights. If a judge determines someone's rights were violated, the police cannot ever later use in court things the person said.

 

As soon as Victor figured out the cops were asking Eva questions as a potential witness in a very serious criminal matter, he immediately put a stop to it by telling the cops they'd have to let Eva get a lawyer before she'd do any more talking. Monica reminded Eva the next morning that she needed to have a lawyer with her if the cops wanted to talk to her (Eva) any more than they already had. And when Detective Graves approached Eva at the gym, Eva expressly reminded the detective she (Eva) didn't want to be questioned without a lawyer.

If I was a betting girl, which I'm not, but if I was I would bet all my money you LN.  I think you are so right on this theory!!!

No I think it was more of a reflection on Monica's mothering skills which are sorely lacking ...

 

Yes, your right, her mothering skills are pathetic, but she is so consumed with herself and what other people think.

I desperately feel sorry for Eva, thinking that she would embarrass her family and Gideon for the abuse she suffered. To have to live with that for the rest of your life, thinking that you have brought shame on your family, living with the guilt must be utter torment. Nathan got off lightly in my eyes.

 

 Monica's reaction to Eva when she found out Eva told Gideon makes me think  Monica is embarassed by what happened to Eva. Monica was all upset and carrying on that Eva had never told any of her other boyfriends what happened.  Thoughts????
