Jenn Donald's review:
Once again I am rating this
series with 5+ stars. I love Gideon and Eva and I will shout it from
mountaintops, tall buildings or anywhere else someone will let me speak. Sylvia
Day has done it again, completely capturing my heart with her writing. I truly
loved every single minute of this book, every single one!
I have to say that I had high
expectations going into it since I have been crazy in love with the series so
far, and it did not disappoint.
Their story picks up right where
we left off in Reflected In You (thank you for that Sylvia Day!). Eva and
Gideon are trying to pick up the pieces of their relationship after Nathan’s
murder and find their path.
The love that is between Eva and
Gideon is so powerful it takes my breath away! These two are just meant to be
together, like there is some force that has brought them together and will keep
them together no matter what challenges they have to face. I think that’s one
of my favorite things about these two, they fight through it all together, even
when they don’t realize that is what they are doing.
Their crazy passion for each
other continues to burn red hot in this book too! They are struggling with external
issues that threaten their relationship as well as their internal demons that
they continue to deal with.
“He was all things to me, everything I wanted
and needed in one imperfect man.” ~Eva
I loved the continued growth we
see in Gideon in this book. I really felt like I learned so much more about
him, and his love and pure need for Eva.
Gideon has changed from the playboy, walking sex god we first met into
such a complicated and beautiful man. He is that perfect damaged, tortured
alpha male and yet he is vulnerable in a way that just squeezes your heart and
steals your breath. He has come to understand his need for Eva and that is not
just about great sex but a love so deep he can’t live without it.
“You’ll never lose me, angel,” he vowed.
Wherever you go, however far, I’ll be right there with you.” ~Gideon
Since the very beginning I
admired Eva’s strength, she is definitely a tough woman who won’t put up with
shit from anyone, including Gideon. She stands up to him when needed but also
knows when he needs the softness and love from her. She has her own issues to
face in this book with her family, Cary and those around her and she works so
hard to get through them even when she’s ready to break.
I also loved the continued
stories of many of the other characters in the series. The depth of the other
characters makes the story feel whole.
I was thrilled with the end of
this book, although I was practically jumping up and down when I found out that
this is not the end of their story (Squeeee)! I’m so excited to see where
Sylvia Day will take them next because it so clearly NOT over! These characters
still continue to grow and learn from each other.
Another heart squeezing,
scorching hot book from Sylvia Day that I will re-read over and over again.
This isn’t a simple love story, but a journey of two people finding love and
hope and learning how accept it from each other.
“It’d been that way with us from the very
first meeting, both of us inexorably drawn together. We’d mistaken our
ferocious mutual captivation for lust until we realized we couldn’t breathe
without each other.” ~ Eva
This is Jenn's Gideon Cross, her Dark
& Dangerous. (And may I say, WOW!)
