  1. Hi Shycharn! 

    I am so glad that you are posting!  Did you know where in the book that Eva figured out that Anne Lucas was treating Corinne or are we in the speculation stage? 

     

    The Russian mob and Megumi?  Holy cow!!!  I hope not!!!  She deserves better than that!  Do you think that maybe Corinne maybe too broken to deal with a confrontation or do you think that seeing Gideon will cause her to snap altogether?  Do you think that someone at the hospial that night will tell Corinne that Gideon stopped by?

    Hi GiGi at the end of the book after Anne Lucas confronts Eva & Eva is talking to Gideon that's when she puts it together that Anne is treating Corinne.

  2. Ok after re reading the book, I think that at the fundraiser Eva figured out that Anne Lucas was the Dr.that Corinne was seeing at put her on the antidepressant medicine.  I think the Russian Mafia has Megumi to trafficking her.  I think we will see a showdown between Eva & Corinne.  I think Gideon is definitely going to SD with his wife.  Was I the only one that thought that Corinne baby was Gideon baby at first?  I got a little freaked out at first!  I think that Eva didn't tell her mom that Gideon had proposed because she wanted her to see the ring on her finger & I think she told her before they left for the fundraiser.  

  3. Hi Shycharn: you touched on a couple of points.... I too think Monica may be the mob connection but I also think possibly Clancy's brother in the FBI or Victor , About Corinne, I think her true colors were finally revealed how selfish to plague Gideon with that suicide attempt in light of how Gideon's father died ... the problem with this scenario is that I don't think it gets Corinne completely out of the picture. In light of what happened I think Corinne and her husband will never reconcile this leaves us with her husband Jean Francois now a bitter enemy of Gideon and Corinne a HOT UNRESOLVED MESS!!!

    Hi sscrph, you are right about Corinne not going anywhere yet but she played the wrong card that time because Eva is going to get her in this next book.  I don't think she will get back with her husband but once Eva gets done with her she will definitely leave Gideon alone.

  4. Hi Shycharn, 

    How long do you think we will have to wait until the next book?  Somehow I highly doubt that we will see anything until next year.  I hope and pray that we see the next installment before the end of the year, but everything relating to the latest release was handled so poorly, that I can't see everything improving magically in the next few months.  What do you think?

    Hi GiGi, I hope & pray that we get book 4 before the end of the year.  According to a post she posted on FB, she is paying for a release before the end of the year.  Fingers crossed for that.

  5. Let me start of by saying that I Loved the prenup. I hate a couple of things that happened in the book but after reading a couple of the comments, I feel better.

    I thought that was very rude of the way that Elizabeth treated Eva & can't wait to see how Eva restores the relationship between her & Gideon our if it's even possible.

    I don't think that baby is Cary's!

    I hate that Corinne still has so much power over Gideon & he should have not been called to the hospital. (I thought was going to turn our to be his).

    What's the deal with Megumi?

    Anne Lucas, Denna & Corinne all need to get lost (I think they all will cause more problems for the couple in the next book).

    Monica needs to tell Eva what's really going on with her & why she's so concerned with money. (Maybe she's the connection with the mob). Think about it!

    In the last RIY spoiler the question was asked what was Gideon whispering to Eva the couple of times when she heard him speak hoaresly. Sylvia Day said it was a EWY spoiler but it was not answered in EWY so was it that he was saying "I Love You" then?

    I Loved the book, wanted more & hope that we don't have to wait long for the next book!

  6. Hey all...quick question;

     

    Has anyone read any other book by Sylvia Day? Crossfire books are the only ones I've read. Any recs?

    Thanks :)

    Yes, I have & I Love all of them that I have read:  All Revved Up, What Happens In Vegas, Mislead, Kiss of Night, A Dark Kiss of Rapture, Catching Caroline, Heat of the Night & Pleasures of the Night!  They were all good to me......

  7. In RIY when Eva gave her house key back to Gideon she said "I thought he might have whispered something, but I didn't catch it if he did"!!!!!!!  A fan asked Sylvia Day what did Gideon say & her response was that was an EWY spoiler so I know she will elaborate on it in EWY.  Anyway as I was reading Bared To You "AGAIN" for about the 15th time, Eva said in the beginning when Gideon made her for the first time b4 the Advocacy Dinner "I thought I heard him speak hoarsely, but I lost the words.  Do you think he said the same thing both times & it will be explained in EWY and if so what do you think it was that Gideon said!  I'm thinking that he was whispering "I Love You"!  What does everyone else think?

  8. mrsmajessick: Sylvia Day cleared that up when it was asked why Gideon still went to dinner & she said G gideon knew how important it was & knew that if he didn't show, that Eva would never forgive him. The fact stills remain that they all had a solid alibi for the time of Nathan's murder so what they officer say want stand up in a court of law. They need solid evidence & they know they will never have it.

  9. Throwing out for discussion today Gideon's hastily thrown together plan of giving the appearance he dumped Eva and how the plan didn't go according to his control-freak expectations. Here's a timeline based on the plan starting after Gideon and Eva returned from their weekend in North Carolina, because Sylvia revealed that taking Eva away for the weekend had not been part of that plan.

    Friday night: Gideon and Eva leave for North Carolina after the concert. Sometime that same night, Cary was attacked.

    Over the weekend, Monica tries phoning Eva and Gideon, but they're both out of phone contact the whole time.

    Sunday night just before midnight: they arrive home and Gideon gets his phone message about Cary.

    Monday morning, before the workday starts: Gideon sees Eva at the hospital, tells her he spoke to her boss so she doesn't have to go to work that day, and leaves for work himself. As he's walking away, he takes a phone call from someone (his security team?)

    Monday night: Gideon takes Corrine to dinner at Tableau One, his friend's restaurant, making sure they sit at a front table and a picture gets taken. He doesn't go to the hospital after work nor call Eva that night.

    Tuesday morning: Eva notices he hasn't called/texted in almost 24 hours. She leaves the hospital to go to work. Gideon freaks when he learns she left the hospital, calls her angrily, has Angus pick her up on the way, and calls him to make sure he's got her.

    Tuesday lunchtime: Eva finds, via Google alert, an online picture of Gideon with Corrine the night before. By co-incidence, Brett shows up at Crossfire looking to talk to Eva. She forwards the photo to Gideon's email, and she takes Brett to lunch. Before lunch is even over, Gideon finds out.

    Tuesday after lunch: When she tried returning to her office, the elevator takes her up to Gideon's floor, and they argue in the hallway. During the fight, he demands she eat lunch at her desk moving forward. She knows something's wrong, but he refuses to say what. As she leaves and the elevator doors close, he says "Trust me."

    Tuesday after work: She goes to the hospital. She calls Gideon at home, and he cuts the conversation short, but not before she figures out he's not alone. She fears maybe Corrine's there. In fact, Gideon was meeting his security people there (Sylvia posted this.)

    Wednesday: in the morning at the hospital, Dr. Lucas poisons her mind about how Gideon is treating her. Midday she has her weekly lunch with her boss Mark and his boyfriend Steve. When she gets back, she gets another angry call from Gideon about not following his orders to eat at her desk. "Are we done," she asks him, a question with double meaning.

    Wednesday night/early Thursday: she sends him a distraught email about how hurt she is over Corrine. He shows up in the middle of the night and makes love to her all night, but in the dark. She asks why he's acting the way he is, and he responds, "It has to be this way." He leaves before she wakes up.

    Thursday daytime: She attends a meeting about the vodka campaign. He ignores her completely in front of her boss Mark and one of the agency owners. She later calls him, and he promises to meet her at Dr. Petersen's office for their weekly therapy appointment.

    Thursday night: he blows off the appointment and instead parties with Corrine at the vodka publicity mixer held at the hotel where he used to take women (including Corrine years ago.) A picture of them huddled close together is taken by the press. Note: Sylvia later posted the publicity mixer was separate from the agency work on the account, which is why Eva's boss Mark hadn't known about it.

    Thursday night/Friday morning: Nathan is murdered Thursday night in his hotel room, a building Gideon owns and is within 15 minutes walking distance of the vodka party. His body is found Friday morning.

    Friday daytime: Eva picks up her Dad at the airport before work (refusing a ride from Gideon's other driver, Raul, and telling Raul to tell his boss to "go #&@! himself.")

    Friday night: Dinner at Eva's. Gideon and Eva both tense, but he tries a couple of times to touch her, only to have her freeze him out. The police show up, and Eva finds out Nathan is dead. The police ask Gideon whether he knows Nathan. "You wouldn't be asking that question if you didn't already know the answer," he tells the cops in front of Eva. But he won't answer in front of her where he was that night. Downstairs, he gives some sort of answer about where he was Thursday night. When he comes back up, Eva refuses to talk to him; instead, she locks herself in her bedroom. She assumes (correctly) he had been with Corrine Thursday night.

    Saturday morning: Her mother shows up at her apartment (while her father is out running.) She tells Eva about Nathan - that he had photos/video of her and tried blackmailing Stanton. Eva guesses correctly Gideon saw the pictures too. Her Dad arrives back, Monica leaves, and then her Dad shows her online the photo of Gideon and Corrine on Thursday night at "that" hotel.

    The break-up: Gideon is at the police station (we find out much later) when she calls him on his cell phone. Confirms he saw the pictures Nathan had of her. Calls him terrible things for not having the decency to end it with her before he started sleeping with Corrine again. But tells him she understands why he can't bear to be with her anymore because of those photos. (We find out much later that Detective Graves watched him take that call and that he looks like someone just died. She guesses that call was Eva dumping him, something she later confirms from Eva herself.)

    My basic theories about things Gideon counted on happening:

    • That press photos of him out to dinner Corrine on Monday and snuggled up with her at a hotel party Thursday provided proof he was spending intimate time with her.
    • Him publicly cutting Eva out of his life would be bolstered by gossip from his good friend Arnoldo (who owns the restaurant) and by Eva's own coworkers.
    • He did still plan to secretly spend time with her at her apartment. Even with Corrine in the picture, Eva would hold on and settle for pieces of him.
    • He counted on her not running away on him this time, because she'd already broken that habit.
    • He counted on the cops buying his alibi and quickly crossing him off the suspect list.
    • Once the coast was clear, he'd start making up to Eva all the hurt he caused.
    • She was never, ever to know he killed Nathan.

    Things he didn't count on as various parts of his plans blew up in his face:

    • Her dumping him. She'd warned him that he could push her away, but he didn't take it seriously enough, just like he hadn't at first taken seriously enough her warnings about her jealous nature.
    • Her finding out about the photos Nathan had and wrongly assumed they were the tipping point for him ending their sexual relationship.
    • The cops figuring out so quickly ties Nathan had to him, Eva and Stanton. So quickly they ended up coming to her apartment the Friday night Gideon was at her place meeting her father.
    • The cops aggressively trying to break his alibi, thus it being too dangerous to see Eva or even phone her.
    • Brett staying in the picture by going to lunch with Eva and later giving a radio interview he wanted to get back together with her.
    • The detective telling Eva about how and why they believe Gideon murdered Nathan.

    OK, fellow posters, jump in.

    I agree & to add, he didn't expect Eva to give him back the ring. Confront his mother, try to get answeres on her own & in doing so she confronts Corinne & Dr.Lucas. Gideon had to stop the distance thing to figure out what she was doing & they were seen by a cop, so if they go back & investigate more they will see that. And to top it all off,I know few didn't expect Eva to tell him she was going to marry him. I'm looking forward to reading EWY and whatever the fourth book, will be called. I'm sure there will be another book, I just hope we don't have to wait to long after EWY to get it. I hope Sylvia Day is about done with it, then she can finish the dream guardians. :-)

  10. Hi Everyone, I am new to this. I have read both books. Would someone be able to help me out with the scene when Gideon and Eva were at Dr Peterson's office and Gideon pulled Eva in the hallway and gave her a look, what did that look mean? I believe it was at the end of Chapter 8.

    Eva also told Dr. Peterson that she Loved Gideon & when he took her out & gave her that look, in my opinion that was his way of telling her that he Loved her because after they kissed Eva said her didn't have to say anything & that she got it. Meaning she got what he couldn't or wouldn't say because he showed her how he felt about her.

  11. Hello, I am new to this site so bear with me!

    I have a question, maybe already been asked..but here goes!

     

    After Monica saw NAthan outside of crossfire, did she do anything about it? Or did she just tuck it under her hat? Has anyone brought up the idea that she may have called Gideon after that (since it was right outside his building) and met with him and Stanton to discuss how to handle...so they were in the plot to at least get rid of Nathan somehow and keep Eva in the dark. Maybe this is why she didn't ask any questions about Gideon to Eva after she found out Nathan was dead and she didn't ask any questions about him during Spa day?

    I did, Earlier on I made the comment of her & Clancy!  Everyone kept saying Angus but if you remember correctly Clancy saw him too when he asked them to get in the car & he would take them the rest of the way & Monica sat in the front this time with Clancy instead of in the back with the girls.  She also asked Clancy on the street did he see him.  I'm not giving up on that.....  Sylvia Day commented that the day Eva called Gideon from the hospital & he couldn't talk & he had someone in his house that he was talking to a security team.  I'm sure it was Angus as well as Clancy & probably Stanton & Monica!  We will find out the twist to it all & I don't think that the story is going to end with this book.  Sylvia Day said when she posted the new cover on FB that she had some big news to tell us but she would tell us later and then she tweeted & said that Gideon & Eva still had room to grow!  So I'm thinking that there will be another book following & if so I do hope that she is writing it because I don't want to wait this long for another one of the Crossfire Series!  

    WHAT DO YOU THINK?  AM I RIGHT, WE WILL KNOW SOON ENOUGH!

  12. I know she asked for a girls night out but she said she was dancing like she was single. At least others posted that under the snippet so I couldn't help but wonder what if that was the case! Would be nice though. The book is not scheduled to be released until June so how many more snippets do Sylvia Day plan on posting? I'm not complaining, I am to anxious for this book!

  13. just a thought.. i don't think it was Gideon who murdered Nathan but it was his chauffer Angus, but only Gideon knows the truth..

    Everyone keeps ruling out Clancy & the day that Eva called him at home, I think he was talking to Stanton, Monica, Angus, Clancy & Raul! Just my opinion, they all knew he was in town trying to get money!
