Gideon Cross is as damaged on the inside as he is flawless
on the outside. Sylvia Day has created a unique and well-
loved hero that hits readers where it hurts the most -- their
hearts. Leagues of readers have fallen in love with the
complicated, obsessive and emotionally scarred duo of Gideon
and Eva. Almost as possessive and obsessive as Gideon is
over Eva, readers grow rabid over their love for the
Crossfire trilogy. Day is really made her name with this
series!
REFLECTED IN YOU tests the bonds that hold Gideon and Eva
together. It will crush reader's hearts and take them on an
emotional journey that will slay them. As Eva and Gideon
undergo therapy to fight the dark demons that haunt their
past, their relationship is jeopardized when emotional
insecurities, lack of communication, secrets, and Gideon's
possessiveness push Eva to the brink. REFLECTED IN YOU is
most definitely a lesson in blind trust. But will Gideon and
Eva's passionate love for each other be enough to slay their
personal demons and overcome insecurities?
This book is as much about the sex as it is the
emotional journey. However, I cannot say that this book
worked for me in this regard. Though frequent and more
daring, most of the sex scenes felt flat. Anger, jealously
and vulnerability fueled one particular sex scene and that
for me was the best one of the book because it involved
emotions other than potent lust. I yearned for something
more and was slightly disappointed when Gideon's dominance
failed to translate into sex. It seemed like the most
logical step forward given his personality.
Day's writing is smooth and flowing and that contradicted
nicely with the mess that Gideon and Eva endure. It brought
a little bit of structure to a relationship that so clearly
needs it. Emotions run high and even as Day reveals the
secret that Gideon kept from Eva all this time, I still felt
something was missing. This book, and especially this
series, don't fit into any clear lines. There's no natural
progression for these two. Gideon and Eva are too messed up
for that. Turbulence very much follows Eva and Gideon on
this journey. It's no easy ride.
I'm torn. Reading this book in a single sitting wasn't
enough for me. I wanted more, but I also felt conflicted
when their actions caused more harm than healing. It's
exhausting, yet so interesting that I could not look away.
One thing is for certain...Day writes a compelling story for
Gideon and Eva. Eyes glued to the pages until I flipped that
last page, I devoured REFLECTED IN YOU until there was
nothing left
to consume. I will be anxiously waiting for the next book in
the series to find out if Gideon and Eva finally find peace,
not only in their relationship, but also in themselves.
Gideon Cross. As beautiful and flawless on the outside as he
was damaged and tormented on the inside. He was a bright,
scorching flame that singed me with the darkest of
pleasures. I couldn't stay away. I didn't want to. He was my
addiction... my every desire... mine.
My past
was as violent as his, and I was just as broken. We'd never
work. It was too hard, too painful... except when it was
perfect. Those moments when the driving hunger and desperate
love were the most exquisite insanity.
We were
bound by our need. And our passion would take us beyond our
limits to the sweetest, sharpest edge of obsession...
