![]() ![]() Since then, I've been addicted to this story and loved each one of the books.Įvery time I start a Crossfire book, I get this supercharged feeling of excitement. Back when I read Bared To You when it was first released, I remember it was the first book in my life that I read, finished, and immediately flipped back to page one to read again. There's a special intensity that Gideon and Eva's relationship always had that really resonated with me deeply. ![]() I can honestly say that that was one thing I never questioned.įrom the very start of this series, I've been completely captivated by this beautiful, erotic, and heartfelt love story. They belong to each other and no one else. They're not the kinds of people to ever jeopardize that relationship and in this book, you see that more clearly than ever. Gideon and Eva love each other more than anything. There wasn’t any doubt about that, either.”įor those of you wondering and needing reassurance, there is no cheating, no love triangle, and no stupid drama in this book. It was like we knew how to make it right between us. “We both had a rough moment there, but we didn’t fuck it up. It was a learning curve for both of them to trust each other and do the right thing, but it really gave validity to their mistakes and strength to their growth. Because we wanted to be the best possible versions of ourselves, to be strong enough to be what the other needed.”Įven when one of them messed up, it was never out of insensitivity or ignorance, but rather it was usually out of a desire or in an intense circumstance where one of them truly believed that they were doing the right thing for the other person. They couldn’t understand- and I didn’t blame them because I was only just starting to really grasp it myself- that we pushed ourselves harder than we ever pushed each other. ![]() It was inevitable that others, especially those close to us, would look at us from the outside and wonder how and why it worked, and whether it should. We could forgive each other for anything except betrayal. Sometimes, we hurt each other to accomplish something or make a point, which worried Dr. More than anything, this quote represents the book so much to me: It's the ultimate example of 'showing not telling' with writing and this level of emotional depth and detail kept me constantly connected to the these characters. It's like getting an exclusive behind-the-scenes view into their minds and you don't just see their actions, you see why they're acting a certain way. So often it's people's insecurities and fears that are the root cause behind actions that might seen irrational or unwarranted but in this book, Gideon and Eva have grown so much and we're always shown the causes of their actions. I really applaud Sylvia Day for writing such an incredibly erotic series that was balanced with so much depth and complexity that it truly made this story one that you can't stop thinking about. You genuinely see the strength of their relationship grow over the series. Given their respective painful and damaging pasts, being open and communicative is an area that is shaky for them and so you definitely see them stumble and fall, but they always get up stronger. Even when they fight (as any couple naturally would in a growing relationship), you can always feel that there's a genuine reason behind their disagreements. The one thing I've loved since the first book was that you are always made to believe that Gideon and Eva's love for each other is the kind of love that transcends pure desire, but has the depth to wether any storm. So this review is more about my reaction TO the book. I'm not going to mention the plot at all in this review because if you've read the series, then you know where Gideon and Eva are at and if you haven't, then I don't want to give anything at all away. His face was impassive, giving nothing away, but his eyes… those blue, blue eyes… they raged with emotion. His hand curved around my nape, the hold possessive and tender at once. It’s extraordinarily gratifying to read about these two damaged people who love each so deeply and with such intensity working as hard as they can to build a healthy relationship and emerging stronger as a couple in a way that makes you truly believe that their love will last forever and ever and ever. I adored every word and I couldn’t be happier with the ending. ![]() Gideon and Eva’s tumultuous and intensely passionate love story first captured my heart years ago and this final book kept me glued to the page from the moment I started until the very end. This was one of my most highly-anticipated books of the year and it delivered everything I'd hoped for and more!! The Crossfire series is one of my all-time favorites. Every rite of passage… Everything.” He swiped at the tear that leaked out of the corner of my eye. ![]()
