Review--One With You by Sylvia Day

One with You by Sylvia Day
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unfortunately, this is where the journey of Gideon and Eva Cross ends. For the past few years we have read about their short relationship. In this "episode"Eva and Gideon have finally worked out the kinks in their relationship. They have secretly gotten married without their family's knowledge and are in the process of planning a public ceremony and making sue that their marriage is as strong as it can be.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the Crossfire series and I'm very sad to see it come to an end. I was so invested in the characters that after I was finished reading the book, I even dreamed about what would happen next. I want to thank Sylvia Day for allowing me the opportunity to catch a quick glimpse into the lives of Eva and Gideon. And it certainly was a quick glimpse, with the five differnt books spanning just a few months.

I look forward to the next book series that starts with the book So Close and this series will take place over a few years instead of months.

Review--The Innocent-VMM #2 by Taylor Stevens

Innocent: A Vanessa Michael Munroe Novel by Taylor Stevens
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Vanessa Michael Munroe is one serious chick and one you don't want to mess with. When her best friend, Logan asked her for help locating his daughter, who had been taken from her mother and brought back to the cult they had grown up in, she is eager to help. She has the skill set to get the job done. Logan, along with other member of the cult, The Chosen, help with the background information to help Munroe infiltrate the Havens. Will she be able to find the girl before she is discovered? Will the ex-Chosen members use their own agendas and compromise the mission?

This is the second Vanessa Michael Munroe book I have read and the second in the series. She is a strong woman and I would not like to cross her bad side at all. She is the type of person you want to make sure you always keep on your side. She is small, but powerful and can make the strongest man, cry like a baby. This book definitely sent me on a roller coaster ride. Set mostly in Argentina, the adventure begins from the start of the book. After Logan approaches Vanessa for this mission, she dives right into it. She doesn't questions anything, she is just there to help a friend and will stop at nothing to complete the request. Inserting herself into the cult, with the promise of a healthy monetary contribution, Munroe, finds the girl and then has to plan how to remove her without them both being hurt. Once the plan is in motion, there is no turning back.

This book will keep you on the edge of your seat. Waiting to find out if Munroe is really as good as she claims to be. I would like to read all of the books in this series, and unfortunately, I haven't been able to read them in order the way I would prefer to do, but I am enjoying them none the less. I still haven't discovered what makes her tick and decide to learn the skills that she has, but I can't wait to find it out.

Review--Captivated by You by Sylvia Day

Captivated by You by Sylvia Day
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The story of Gideon Cross and Eva Tramell continues in #4 of the Crossfire series, Captivated By You.  In this edition, we find that Eva and Gideon have married, but keeping it a secret from most of the people in their lives.  They both still have a lot of issues going on in their lives and they continue to fight over the same issue.  Gideon desperately wants to protect Eva, no matter what and Eva wants to be able to be her own person as well as being the most important in Gideon's life.   Will they both be able to make the compromises and sacrifices necessary to make their relationship work.

This book was a quick read (2 days).  Sylvia Day always provides an interesting story to keep the reader from putting the book down.  The scenes in this book are enough to get you hot and bothered.  I'm not sure if there are going to be anymore Crossfire books, but I do want to know what is going to happen with Eva and Gideon.  Will they be able to make their relationship work and have the future they both want to have with each other.  Or will they continue to get in their own way and ruin what they want more than anything; each other.
