The third installment to the Crossfire series takes off
right where the last one ended. Eva learns the extent to
which Gideon will protect her, but doesn't know how to
handle it all yet. ENTWINED WITH YOU feels very much like
the calm before the storm. Day is setting up the next two
books in the series, so the pacing of this book is much
slower and leisurely.
This leaves Eva and Gideon basking in the presence of each
other. The sex scenes are prevalent and intense, so much to
the point that there almost seems like too much of it all
at once. Eva and Gideon indulge in one another, giving
themselves wholly as if the other could be gone at any
moment. In some ways, it's a romantic notion. However, from
a storytelling standpoint, it doesn't allow much room for
plot.
The journey that ENTWINED WITH YOU takes is more emotional.
After
Eva had trust issues in the last book, Day explores those
feelings more thoroughly in this book. She uses sex as a
way to cement their love, as if it is the glue that will
hold them together. I am curious to see how Day will extend
this storyline, since these characters seem to have endured
so much already. What other kind of trouble can they face?
And more importantly, will they be strong enough to survive
it?
ENTWINED WITH YOU is a slow-burning novel that takes on a
whirlwind of emotions. With characters that have an
addicting quality to them, readers are sure to return to
Gideon and Eva for another much-needed fix!
From the moment I first met Gideon Cross, I recognized
something in him that I needed. Something I couldn’t resist.
I also saw the dangerous and damaged soul inside—so much
like my own. I was drawn to it. I needed him as surely as I
needed my heart to beat.
No one knows how much he risked for me. How much I’d been
threatened, or just how dark and desperate the shadow of our
pasts would become.
Entwined by our secrets, we tried to defy the odds. We made
our own rules and surrendered completely to the exquisite
power of possession…
