CAPTIVATED BY YOU, the fourth installment in the
Crossfire series takes on
the ultimate enigma, Gideon Cross. Readers will be
ecstatic to get an
insider's look into Gideon's mind, feeling both his
desires but also his
insecurities concerning his wife, Eva. Their recent
marriage hasn't entirely
cleared up all their problems, especially as a person from
Eva's past returns
and threatens their relationship.
Sylvia Day doesn't waste any time submerging readers into
the drama of
family and friends as they meddle in Gideon and Eva's
lives. Following the
same vein of the previous books in the series, Day remains
within her
comfortable space as she explores their inner wordings of
Gideon's mind.
While easily the best part of this book, I was hoping that
in getting the hero's
POV, readers would get a new or possibly different
experience. But Day's
style remains largely the same with a strong emphasis on
emotion and
insecurity.
CAPTIVATED BY YOU captures the essence of the series and
builds on that
until readers are submerged into the sensual world that
author Sylvia Day
has created.
Gideon calls me his angel, but he’s the miracle in my
life.
My gorgeous, wounded warrior, so determined to slay my
demons while refusing to face his own.
The vows
we'd exchanged should have bound us tighter than blood and
flesh. Instead they opened old wounds, exposed pain and
insecurities, and lured bitter enemies out of the shadows.
I
felt him slipping from my grasp, my greatest fears
becoming
my reality, my love tested in ways I wasn’t sure I was
strong enough to bear.
At the brightest
time in our
lives, the darkness of his past encroached and threatened
everything we’d worked so hard for. We faced a terrible
choice: the familiar safety of the lives we’d had before
each other or the fight for a future that suddenly seemed
an
impossible and hopeless dream…
