The sensual saga of Eva and Gideon continues in the second novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Crossfire series.
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...
This was such a big disappointment to me. I really liked the first book, but this just gave "history repeating itself" a whole new meaning. The sex was the same, the characters were the same (...no development), even some of the lines felt like they were just taken from the first book.
The plost of this book was very similar to the first installment in this series, and I really missed some more action. I felt certain that there'd be a climax (pun intended), but no. The last two chapters though, but still. 17 chapters of nothing. That's just a no go.
Cary was still the most enjoyable character. He's absolutely amazing! If you asked me, I'd love if Sylvia Day would write a spin-off series with Cary as the main character - that'd probably work better if it weren't erotica though.
So tell me this: when will we see women who actually stands up for themself in this genre? I'd like to read one of those! I want to be able to identify myself with the characters, and I really can't with Eva - or any other character in this book, for that matter. Furthermore, I'd like a man who treats women with respect.
