SPOILERS: Entwined with You Overall Discussion

[Sharonm745]

Perhaps it might be best for Corrine to find out the truth -- Gideon already was married to Eva even before Corrine swallowed that bottle of pills -- while Corrine is still hospitalized. She'll find out anyway, so maybe it's best she do so while she's locked up for her own safety. Because whether it was a desperate gesture to get Gideon's attention or genuine "nervous breakdown" engineered by Dr. Anne Lucas, Corrine is a danger to herself at present.

 

You're right.  It would be clear to everyone that Gideon is off the market and all the exes need to move on if they want to find happiness.  It might also help Corinne start reconcile with JFG because it will be clear to both of them that nothing is going to happen with Corinne and Gideon.

well ladies, my pick for playing Gideon is Joe Manganiello.  He has the body, the hair and is really sexy.  sorry to say he doesn't have the eyes  (his are brown.)  but he will be appearing naked in True Blood when it continues on HBO Sunday 6/16/13 at 9 PM..   Take a gander at him....he is something to look at, his character is Alcide.  just my opinion.

 

thanks for the clarification about the cuffs, when reading I didn't think they were attached to anything other than Eva.  That was some sexy plane ride!!!

I think when she was with Cary he was taking pain meds which have strange effect on people. I remember when I had surgery awhile ago my husband said I talked in my sleep. It is possible that the medication either made Cary talk in his sleep and Tatiana asked about his mumbling or the medication made him loose lipped giving her too much information about Gideon, Eva, etc. She took the information and decided to use it to her advantage. I'm also thinking that the pregnancy is a fraud too. Maybe she senses that Cary wants to move on with Trey and she wants to continue to milk Cary for more information that may get her money.

Oh. That would be perfect. What a devious mind you have, and a clever answer to the "how did she get the info" we'll done! I'm liking this.

What a witch!

OMG !

Gabri, I can't believe it's still missing. Where did you order it from?

Can I get you one here and send it to you? I don't mind.

I wonder if our little donkey got ambushed in France!!!

Thank you, Julie

It's so sweet of you!!

I ordered my copy from Feltrinelli, a local bookstore that has the widest choice of English books. I was told the book would be released June 16.... so complaints are not allowed here, but I really hoped for an advance delivery from Penguin (them, again!!). Same old ill luck!!!

Well, 'my precious' is only 3 days away... I can manage!!!

[Sharonm745]

You're right she does have more power over Cary and that could be where the jealousy stems from.

I believe Tatiana is one of her sources and if that is something that Eva finds out in book 4 along with the baby not being Cary's then that's a good way of Tatiana exiting the picture.

 

Another thought about Tatiana.  Cary said that she was difficult to work with on the sets.  Maybe her last trip (I forget where she was overseas) she was put on a black list.  As a result Tatiana decided she needed to find an easy way to make a lot of money and Cary gave her enough information, via pillow talk, that gave her the idea to meet Deanna.

Ok. Gabri.

Good job you downloaded it. Not long now.

Next time I will post it from England rather than wait till its released in Italy . Or be quicker to hop on a plane. :D

The cuffs weren't attached to anything. Gideon unhooked the silk ribbon joining the cuffs. It wasn't quite bondage, just cuffs. He placed them on her wrists, and told her to grip the pillow either sides.

Gideon won't take Eva anywhere she can't go because of her abuse, that's why he told her to safe word before she opened her eyes, to put her mind at ease. He s afraid of triggering her, which would destroy them as a couple. She needs control, to be able to say no, which she lost when Nathan raped her. That's why Gideon always makes sure her head is in the right place. Hope that makes sense.

 

I really like your exclamation alot!!

[Sharonm745]

I'm thinking, that Gideon and Evas wedding will appear early in book 4 as LN stated, fending off the exes, letting everyone know that Eva is Gideons.

But that they will renew their vows to each other in front of family and friends. Also, so Victor can give his daughters hand officially to Gideon.

Monica can go whistle.

 

LOL 

[insideofclouds]

Ladies since I dont see Kirsten around and Julie mentioned she needed her Henry dose here ya go. Different look from what we are used to!

[Sharonm745]

I was hoping that book 5 maybe a more family situation for Gideon/Eva, maybe a reconcile with Gideon's family, maybe a baby for Gideon and Eva, I know that is a jump ahead and we did not like it in FSOG but I think that if the book ends with them all healed then personally I would want to know more like did they have a family, what would they be like as parents, what would Gideon be like with Eva being pregnant xx

 

I wouldn't mind that especially if it is in 3rd person or from Gideon's point of view.  It could answer a lot of questions. 

 

BTW I didn't mind it in FSOG.  I think the book ended to abruptly but it was good to see that CG ended up in the right place.

[sscrph]

Am I the only one who found Monica's reactions to Gideon a bit strange in this book. In the first 2 books she was constantly prodding Eva for information on the situation with Gideon and giving (unwanted) advice on how to keep him.

However after the break up in RIY she stops asking. She also doesn't seem as enthusiastic (to me anyways) when she learns they are back together and she makes a strange comment about Gideon having secrets when Eva admits to telling him about the tracking device in her watch.

Maybe its just because of the strain already present in her relationship with Eva but I think she might know something about what Gideon did. Maybe she gave Clancy the information about the bracelet - so he'd know what to plant on the fall guy.

Did anyone else get this impression?

Yes I totally agree the SECRETS comment bothers me...

[sscrph]

Yes I totally agree the SECRETS comment bothers me...

But then at the end of the book she seems much more PRO Gideon especially in the lobby of the Crossfire when JFG accosts Eva before her and Mommica o to lunch...

I didn't like it when she first talked about secrets but I thought it had to do with Nathan's death.  But then it could be that she was just trying to strike at Eva because Eva was questioning her actions with Victor.

That's interesting, I didnt think of that. Who knows how much she's being paid for all the info!

Various thoughts on Chapter 8

 

Getting some rest:

• So sweet that Eva told Gideon a bedtime story in a way to get him to fall asleep on the couch snuggled up with her, then she stayed up all night just holding him.
• Friday was only their third night back together. Wednesday had been practically an all-nighter, and Thursday had been only a little better.
• Add on top of that all the sleep he'd been losing while they had been apart more than two weeks.
• Page 106, " ... he looked so weary, with dark smudges under his eyes and deep groves framing that wickedly sensual mouth." The fact he slept in until 11 a.m. Saturday proves how overtired he'd been -- he always been the first one to wake up the mornings they did spend overnights together in their early relationship.
• Loved her joke the next morning reminding him what he was up against the coming night (pun intended).  She had her girls' night, planning to drink too much, which makes her .
• "Oh yeah. You'll be lucky if you can crawl out of bed tomorrow, " (Eva) warned. (page 109)

He's more worried than ever about the violent nightmares, because now he's got traumatic memories of killing a man on top of the stuff from childhood. But these past few nights, Eva consistently has taken naps with him -- baby steps, I think to rebuilding his ability to trust they can share a bedroom.

 

Needs to take her own advice

• Now they know Deanna wants to try to hurt Gideon by painting him as some guy who flies into jealous rages, beating up other men because he keeps catching Eva with them. The fake story about Eva being in a threesome with Cary and another guy. The actually true story about her in a passionate embrace with Brett.
• When they talk about different public relationships strategies for defusing potential scandals threatening to erupt, Eva pointed out the usual safe strategy. "Stay away from me. That's what you'd be advised to do. Distancing yourself from the source of a scandal is Crisis Management 101."

Um, Eva, hello .... Deanna Johnson actually has an eyewitness account of you getting caught passionately kissing Brett and then Gideon trying to beat the guy up. A true story that could become a scandal. And, um, don't you think you ought to back out of the promise you made Thursday to attend that Times Square event with Brett? Hmmmm? Duh!!!!

 

More blanks filled in about Nathan

• We learned that it had been Clancy (not Gideon's people) who had been heading up surveillance of Nathan. But Clancy had miscalculated Nathan as far as Cary went -- and thus Cary paid the price.
• So that connected the dots to the fact it was Monica that informed Gideon who Cary's assailant was, telling him that Monday morning at the hospital, which started the chain reaction that led to Gideon putting an entirely new set of plans in motion.
• Clancy's theory about Nathan hanging out near the Crossfire that day Clancy and Monica spotted him was that Nathan was there to be seen. "Once he made himself known, he kept the pressure up. Likely, he expected to frighten you and managed to scare Mrs. Stanton instead. Effective in either case."

Clancy's theory about Nathan ratcheting up the pressure gibes with what Detective Graves believed was behind the beating. From Reflected, "I would say that Nathan Barker attacked Cary Taylor as a way to intimidate and threaten Gideon Cross."

Er, effective in that case -- Gideon felt threatened. Too bad for Nathan he went too far, revealing just how kah-ray-zee and dangerous he really was. At that point, it quit being about money and secrets -- and instead became about Eva's very life.
