I’m really pleased that the books have been optioned for TV.
I’ve read adult fiction before where I’ve longed for them to get out the bedroom and do something interesting and that really wasn’t a problem with this book. She gets the perfect balance between their pasts, their careers and the sex scenes and this stops me getting bored. Despite being erotic fiction, the story of Eva and Gideon has real depth. What sets Sylvia Day’s books apart from similar writers within her genre is that she really does have a talent for writing and telling a good story. There are times where I wish both characters would open up more and face their pasts, which I’m sure will happen a lot more in the next two books which have now been announced.
Gideon is the perfect male lead, being both masculine and sensitive and Eva is very relatable. It also helps to portray the characters love, lust and frustrations at each other. The book is written from both Gideon and Eva’s points of view in alternating chapters which works perfectly, its great hearing events unfold from both points of view. There were points in the book where I had to phone Fay after reading them because there were certainly some OMG! moments! The author certainly doesn’t hold back with her descriptions and use of strong language which actually really adds to the quality of the writing. The sex scenes are every bit as extreme as the characters themselves and sparks fly like electricity between Gideon and Eva. Day really captures the chemistry between the couple perfectly and leaves you really caring about them both. Gideon and Eva are fantastic characters troubled, passionate and complex in equal measure. I liked this every bit as much as the other books in the series.
A week later I have finally finished the book, which I picked up in every spare minute I could find. The Captivated by You Sleepover was such a fun evening and the perfect setting to get stuck into a good book. As you may have seen in last weeks post, Fay and I recently attended an event to mark the launch of the fourth book in the Crossfire series by Sylvia Day.
