I enjoyed this, because often I feel stifled by the protagonists when all I read about is their isolated relationship.

A lot of other characters who are in Eva and Gideon’s life are highlighted throughout the book. The male and female protagonists are not the only fully developed characters in the book. Both characters face issues outside of their relationship, problems involving their parents, friends and careers. And while that is the focus of the series, that is not the only aspect of the book. Storyline: The series takes the reader through Eva Tramell building a relationship with Gideon Cross. And the reader is able to perfectly see how characters battle with personal and relationship issues. There is really good character development throughout the series. Everything said and done, by all characters, complement their life story and their past behaviour. Her books are the perfect balance of dialogue and narrated explanation.Ĭharacters: because the writing is done so well, the characters are brought to life. She’s always on the borderline of over explaining, but she never crosses it. She knows when to give just enough detail and then leave the rest to reader’s imagination. Writing: I always get lost in Sylvia Day’s writing. P.S Gideon makes my top 5 fictional boyfriend list. Other than that, Gideon Cross and Eva Tramell are in a league of their own. But I think the two series only share one similarity, the hot-possessive-business mogul male protagonist. If you Google ‘what book to read after 50 Shades of Grey’, Sylvia Day’s Crossfire series pops up over and over again. Sylvia Day’s website informs fans that a release date for the book is expected to be announced “soon”, but then again that note has been up for months. Sylvia is working on the 5 th book and fans are waiting for the release date. Bared to You #1, Reflected in You #2, Entwined with You #3 and Captivated by You #4. So far the Crossifire Series is compiled of 4 books. I’ve decided to review the entire Crossfire Series in one post. Are the secrets Gideon hides too much for Eva, or is she able to overcome the darkness of both their pasts? But is Gideon Cross what Eva Tramell wants? They both carry dark secrets about their pasts. But when he spots Eva Tramell, the new assistant working for one of the companies in his Crossfire building, things change for Gideon. Every interaction he has with a woman is a calculated risk, executed with the same briskness he applies to business meetings.

The millionaire is hardworking, successful and broodingly gorgeous. Gideon Cross is New York’s hottest bachelor.
