Save your money, nothing new happening in this book, except to drive the Crossfire Series further into the ground.
*Possible Spoiler Alert*
*Yawn* Was there a purpose to this book? Unless the purpose behind this book was an attempt at driving this series into the ground, then congratulations, it was a success. This book is similar to ordering a box of candies from a company that you've trusted in the past, and they send you a huge box, and you think that it's going to be filled with all sorts of goodness, but then you open the box, and it's filled with nothing but packing peanuts, and you keep searching thinking that you're going to find something, and finally after going through all the packaging, you find a caramel. The packing peanuts in this book are the sex scenes, and try as you may to search through all of them, but you aren't going to find a caramel, maybe a piece of butterscotch candy. Because I enjoy erotica, it pains me to say "Enough with the sex", please, we get it, we also get that they need each other to survive, Gideon is the yin to Eva's yang, he can't breathe without her, his body hurts not being inside her, they feel each other's presence before they see each other, their skin aches when they part, WE GET THIS, IT WAS ESTABLISHED OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER IN ALL THREE PREVIOUS BOOKS. Seriously, they have sex before work, while on the way to work, while at work, and then after work, at this point I would be happy just to see either one standing at the water cooler talking to a co-worker about the last episode of The Walking Dead, effing anything but the two of them effing. It would be nice to read one of having an independent scene without the other waiting in the shadows. It would be interesting to see Eva going to California without Gideon trailing, as it would to read about Eva going to lunch without Gideon waiting a table close-by, it would have been interesting to read any scene without them together, because as we all find out, they can't be together without engaging in sex. That's is all there is to this book is the sex, and although I like sex scenes, it would be nice to have a little storyline to go along with it. I skipped through dozens of pages because the sex is a yawn fest.
This series began with beautiful, wealthy, interesting yet flawed and damaged people, but has turned into a series about beautiful co-dependents that I seriously doubt can take a p*ss without the other one holding his/her hand. I now loathe Cary, instead of him being a supporter and friend to Eva, all he thinks about is how her every move is going to impact him. This book is essentially the three of them discussing sex, making each other miserable, whining and complaining, but can't be away from each other for longer than an hour. C'mon, how ridiculous is it that Gideon wants Cary to move in the penthouse that he and Eva are having remodeled so that Cary doesn't feel deserted. Gideon has turned into a pansy, frantic schoolgirl, but instead of passing notes of "Do you like me, yes or no?", he sends texts. Corrine having sex with Angus would be more interesting than to reading this, watching paint dry on the walls would be more interesting than this story.
As with book three (Entwined with You) in this series, nothing was resolved, nothing new occurred, it was basically a repeat of book three. The name of this book should have been: Entwined with You Version 2.0, or Gideon Has Sex With Eva Again and Again and Again and Again and Again and Again and Again and Again.
Save your money folks, nothing new going on here. I included a "Possible Spoiler Alert" because I wasn't sure if saying nothing new occurred would be a spoiler.
