![]() I suggested we talk a bit about the whole-foods locavore campaign, but that didn’t help. We were working on a campaign for foreign-language-learning software, but he wasn’t into it at all. He was distracted and moody, which was very unlike him. IT didn’t take long for me to realize something wasn’t right with Mark. He was dressed in a navy suit with a deep purple tie that did great things for his dark skin. “Everything all right?” he asked, his brown eyes capped with a slight frown. Bye.” I returned the handset to its cradle and smiled at Mark. If I felt like there was an actual story to be told here, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but it just feels like more of a money grab to me because the "trilogy" is so popular.“Thanks. People could argue that he's just "teasing," but I think we all know that he's NOT, plus he killed a guy already in cold blood, so who knows what depths this man would be capable of if he felt so inclined? Honestly, I can't tell if this book is more ridiculous or terrifying.And all of the threads introduced in the end, just to squeeze two more books out of this franchise.bleh. Oh, cool, Eva's new husband is already making veiled threats at kidnapping her. Eva tells Gideon the entire book that she's not ready - and let's be real, they have only been together, what, a few months? Maybe four or five at the most? And he still pushes her into marriage, which really felt like bullying on his part, and told her that he would have kept her there until she'd agreed anyway. I know she wants to "help" and "heal" him, but she's ignoring her own issues in the process, and that's just not good.They also tie the knot unexpectedly, and secretly, while on a weekend getaway. But she just goes along with the whole restraint thing because it's what Gideon wants. Eva says, in her mind, that she doesn't like being restrained in sex, and she's only allowed Gideon to do that, and only with his hands and his body. There's an instance, for example, where Gideon has some restraints custom-made for Eva and doesn't tell her anything about it. But Eva was also raped as a child, and she's just letting him run roughshod all over her. He was raped as a child, so he wants to have control in almost everything now, so I sort of understand that. Okay then.I have some major problems with Gideon. And then they get together super quick and no one bats an eye. ![]() But everyone except Cary is apparently blind to this. And now they're trying to pretend that they are still broken up, although it is painfully obvious to anyone who remotely pays attention to Eva that she's still with Gideon. Gideon made a huge, elaborate, ridiculous "cover story" for them to prove that he would have no motive to kill Nathan by "breaking up with" Eva. I suppose I just want to see how bad things get - and believe me, just when you think that you've hit the bottom, the author proves you wrong!Gideon killed Nathan Barker, Eva's former step-brother who was responsible for repeatedly raping her when she was young, because he was trying to blackmail and/or hurt her. I mean, the romance between Gideon and Eva is so much like an unhealthy trainwreck that I roll my eyes until I'm practically dizzy, and yet I still keep reading. And just when I thought that this series couldn't get more ridiculous, this book comes along!Look, I will say that the series is readable.
