it was inspiring, heart warming, and beautiful. She has real insecurities, jealousies, worries, but I sympathized with them all and loved her spirit, her dedication and her decisions.Īs a couple, they were just so functional!! Watching them work so hard at their relationship, where no matter what went wrong, letting nothing tear them apart. She, just like Gideon, is seriously flawed and scarred by her past. Never once have I wanted to throttle her. For a story told entirely from Eva's perspective, we do learn a lot about him in this book.Įva is one of my favorite heroines as well. Everything.Īnd we get a lot more insight into him- into his secrets, his nightmares, how he became so rich, what he felt when they first met. I absolutely adored everything about his character.

But my dear God does he make my heart (and my panties) melt!!! I swear, flaws and all, that man is pure perfection to me. Gideon is the epitome of a complex, tortured, flawed, and mysterious hero. “I didn't know I was looking for anything until I saw you.” and in doing so, find a way to save themselves.īut as messed up as they both were, they worked through EVERYTHING!! A couple after my own heart. They both had a lot to learn about how to trust each other, find safety in each other, heal each other, save each other. Sometimes it was painful, but always understandable.

But the thing was, despite some of them being irrational and over-the-top, I sympathized with both of them about their insecurities and worries. With a couple with as many issues, hang-ups, and fuck ups as Gideon and Eva, yes, I admit it was sometimes frustrating to read through their problems. And that truly is what is at the heart of this book. In order for their love to have the room to properly and healthily develop, they have to learn to trust each other. But lust isn't enough to make a relationship truly work. The strength of their attraction, desire and need for each other is palatable. And again and again and again until they made it work. Who were willing to sacrifice anything for each other. It was absolutely beautiful to watch a couple who were just so messed up but who wanted, with every fiber of their beings and every corner of their hearts, to do everything in their power to make their relationship work. Gideon Cross (oooo even his name gives me shivers) and Eva Tramell are one of my TOP favorite book couples ever. If I had custom ordered this book straight from the deepest book desires of my heart, it could not have been any better.
