I surged into him, knocking him off-balance and onto his back. Keeping you safe is goddamned self-preservation! Tolerate it for me, if you won’t do it for yourself.” If something ever happened to you it would kill me, too. Can you understand that? You’re my heart and soul. ![]() I thought we really got a true sense of not only the depth of how far Gideon was willing to go for Eva here (which really started from book one), but we also saw how devoted she was to helping him through the trauma of his past. His idea of a way to fix their situation and keep a protective watch over her only seemed to create more complications. It wasn’t really a cliffhanger…but there was a definite revelation toward the end regarding Gideon.Įntwined with You (Crossfire #3) by Sylvia Day: The passion, drama, and secrets continued as Gideon and Eva took a new step forward in their relationship. Although book one was obviously filled with a variety of emotions, this installment had me feeling every possible emotion I could think of and then some. Important people from their past brought conflict and tension into their already complex dynamic. I had my issues with both Gideon and Eva acting like jealous teenagers and pushing each other away. ‘I couldn’t imagine that I’d ever fall in love again like I had with Gideon. But jealousy and possessiveness started to creep in to their daily lives, leaving them unsure of how to proceed. They had admitted at this point that they were in love and it was all-encompassing. Reflected in You (Crossfire #2) by Sylvia Day: This book showed Eva and Gideon’s relationship still evolving and in transition. “I must’ve wished for you so hard and so often you had no choice but to come true.”Įven though there was a lot of erotic dialogue and love scenes, there was still wonderful tenderness between Eva and Gideon which is what I loved most about them. “Oh, Eva.” He rubbed his cheek against my damp face. There was a bit of a dark tone to the plot because of this, but Gideon, Eva, and her friends added humor and sometimes even playfulness to the scenes that lightened it up. Without fully knowing what exactly happened to both of them in the past, it was clear that they had survived trauma that would haunt them the rest of their lives. ![]() She wasn’t sure of his motives or that she could trust him. Gideon had laser-like focus on making Eva his and protecting her from the outside world. Eva Tramell and Gideon Cross’s chance meeting outside his office building sparked a romance that would test their emotional limits. That being said, here’s the breakdown of each book and the overlying plot found within.īared to You (Crossfire #1) by Sylvia Day:This was where all the magic and drama began. I felt like they could commiserate together and understood where each other was coming from having lived through their own tragedies and come out on the other side. Even though they shouldn’t have worked so well together considering their individually tortured pasts, there was something so intense between them that I couldn’t imagine them not staying together in the future. In my humble opinion though, Gideon and Eva’s characters seemed to fit together better right from the start. I’m not saying anything negative against 50 Shades of Grey because I am a fan of that series as well. The Crossfire books are more focused on the romance between Eva and Gideon, albeit with an edge of erotica, but not BDSM, which to me was the overwhelming factor in 50 Shades.ĭon’t get me wrong. But to me, that’s where the similarity ends. I will admit that the basic idea of an overprotective rich businessman and his youngish girlfriend is similar. Now, I know…it has been compared to 50 Shades time and time again. The Crossfire series by Sylvia Day captured my attention with the depth of emotions Gideon and Eva suffered/rejoiced through, and with the complexity of the plot in each book.
