Both have agreed to follow couple therapy directly to their problems, but their obsession for one another is such that it goes up biting the inside. As in the first volume, Gideon is possessive and closes on itself. But Eva is not left! One point that had annoyed me a little in the first volume, which is amplified by here, is the jealousy of the young woman. It is almost compulsive. Looks like she does not trust him, that she is unable to believe that he is faithful Gideon. And instead of asking for an explanation, she prefers to close or turn tail. Once, twice, three times ... I understand she worries because her experience, but it becomes winded in the extreme.
What I liked, however, is this intensity between the characters. Gideon and Eva love. Despite their problems, disputes and the rest ... they really like. They find comfort in each other, and they try to make efforts to make it work. Their relationship has its ups and downs. They are hurting themselves because they do not communicate, because they are afraid of different things. Sex between them is as a way to relieve pressure, see to punish, when assailed by those emotions, and I find that the author does well to convey this tension throughout the story. Their story sounds right, because precisely their past are terrible and not snapping fingers they will manage to move forward.
The beginning was in perfect continuity of the first volume, but this is starting to really move instead in the second part. Drama, emotion, sex ... it works very well. Crossfire is a good set of erotic romance, better written than Fifty Shades, it must be said. Sylvia Day knows how to keep the attention of the reader and create sexy and addictive characters. I look forward to the next volume and where it will lead our hero!
