Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Spoilers!!! What?! I can't for the life of me understand the 5* reviews. How can anyone be satisfied with this ending or the entire read for that matter? It was barely a HFN forget about HEA. We got more of a HEA after book 3 when they secretly wed. We did not even receive all of the many issues brought before us resolved, so why have so many secondary characters and issues if there was never the intention of solution or closure?! Tatiana, I guess we're to assume she's still pregnant and that it is indeed Cary's? We leave off that she's still pregnant but is now dating someone else while pregnant from another guy? WTH? She was a no show in OWY, only spoken of, no dialogue. Corinne? Did the book ever publish/release or not? That was an exciting part, leading their dialogue to be fulfilling and promising with more angst to come, then nothing, fell flat to assumption. Elizabeth, well I guess that's life, she'll never accept what happened to him and is willing to lose everything and everyone because of her denial. Pointless and cruel addition here...Monica, good God the woman deserved more grieving, uncontrollable tears, Eva lending some comfort to Stanton, the man who did everything to protect her and raise her to get all the help she needed emotionally after Nathan. Stanton, even though Victor, her biological father was there for her, Stanton stepped up and supported her in many ways as if he were her biological father, Clancy for example how he made sure he looked out for Eva always even after Gideon's men showered her with protection. She had the best of everything unconditionally from that man. There should have been more of an interaction with Stanton and Eva after Monica died, especially with the circumstances. We should have been crying uncontrollably from their dialogue as they grieved for her. Victor?! Monica, was the love of his life, for forever. He never got over her, I expected to cry my eyes out from his grief alone dialogue, nope just a little dialogue, description of his red rimmed and glossy eyes. Then suddenly he's moving to NY to protect Eva on Gideon's payroll...ew! They go at it like rabbits at every chance they get cars, elevators, clubs, etc. and Gideon told Victor to expect their intimacy and that he would have to deal with it. Then he's moving in with Cary? So let's get this straight, a forty something year old man, straight, is moving in with a twenty something year old man, a bi man, who cuts, is an addict but drinks anyway, may or may not be a father, who enjoys orgy's and hello...Victor's a cop! Eva, does she end up working for Gideon or not? Brett, yep after book 4 poof the man just road off into the sunset. Christopher, we're to believe a therapist (Hugh) told him Gideon never wanted him at a young age and a quick conversation with Chris resolved that, suddenly he's up Gideon's butt. Then is Gideon's sleeping issue with Eva resolved nope, just assumption that it's getting better with the help of a puppy. Children in the future, maybe, sounds like Gideon's too selfish to share Eva with anyone including a creation of both of them. Lancorp, brought in then, nothing, why bring them in at all? Jean Francois Giroux just mentioned in this one, like Tatiana. Deanna Johnson, really after all that ghostwriter nonsense with Corinne's book she's now going to work for Gideon? What is that? The best that came from this book was Lucky and Gideon's friends. Cary, who I found funny in books 1&2, the man became annoying and immature and did nothing to grow as Eva did. He did nothing but hold her back with his poor me mantra and that's a shame. He's unhealthy for her on so many levels, I do not see the growth others see. After all of that and there's more trust me, then we have the repetitive nonsense. We got a recap of books 1-4 over and over and over and over again! Redundant. I loved the breather of them with no sex but once it started again bam It. Did. Not. Stop! I had to skim through it, it was too much and some too far fetched. They are more than that in books 1&2. Books 1-3 held a much different story than this series ending in 4&5. It almost was like Day lost sight of who Gideon and Eva were at the beginning. That's just so sad. We deserved a good cry for loss or for happiness but it just wasn't possible. I don't know how this got approved for publishing. How anyone thought this would make fans happy. The guy that went on from her publishing team stating that fans/readers were going to be so happy and satisfied with this ending, he obviously is not an erotic reader lover, we strive for great HEAs, feel good at every turn, certainly not this. Only a faithful matured adult reader in this genre can truly grasp the disaster this was. Gideon and Eva deserve more than this, as do we. Is this all for some kind of material for a TV series? Why would we want to watch it now? For that great epilogue? Oops, slash that, the TV series was cancelled. Why the hype of a great wedding to be shared with family and friends when it was never to be? Now we meet the Reyes'? Why bring in secondary characters and so many issues if you have no intention of ever bringing any solutions/closure? This was supposed to be the conclusion, a finale you know completion for the many stories left unfinished, a chance to bring it all home. I understand having some questions at the end of a series, but I can't applaud having many more questions then after the first book. Honestly, I'm still scratching my head here. As it is I had to make myself finish this book, many times because it was that disappointing. I suffered. I will mention I give 1 * for the book itself but if I could, I'd give 5*s for Sylvia's writing because she is seriously talented when it comes to her word structure, the expressive flow and details. Because of this I can't stress enough how I wish someone, a friend, the publishing team, anyone, would have guided her before it was approved for release. She deserved much better guidance than this, how can anyone think her true readers that really loved Gideon and Eva would be okay with this mess. I hope this is definitely the end of the road for Gideon and Eva because it just gets worse with each new book and I'm sorry to say I will not be purchasing anything else from this author. Please go back to the basics Ms. Day, take a class on ending a series "conclusion", I say this with no disrespect. You are too talented for this. Goodbye and good luck Gideon and Eva, I should have said that after book 3.
