I picked this up in my continuation of reading the "Crossfire" series.
"Entwined with You" picks up immediately after the conclusion of "Reflected in You". Eva is still enamored with Gideon, especially after what he has done to protect her from her past. They both have secrets, and it only seems to bond them together more. Unfortunately, with police sniffing around, they have to keep their relationship a secret from everyone else, which proves to be more challenging than either anticipate.
This book was very okay. I am still invested in Gideon and Eva as characters, and I want to see their happily ever after, but I felt like this installment went off the rails a little bit. They end up deciding to get married impulsively, and I have this suspicion that Gideon has motivations beyond love for tying the knot with Eva. Their relationship has gone from 0 to 100 in such a short time that it is difficult to discern if they are in love or in lust.
I think I do not love reading from Eva's perspective. Her inner monologue reads a little immature and naive and it has begun to rub me the wrong way. I am hoping she has some growth before the next book.
I still think Gideon is a great guy to swoon over. He definitely puts Eva first and is trying so hard to ensure she has the best out of life. He is trying to fix himself so he can be his best version for her, which I love to see.
I will be continuing in this series because I am curious to see how this will all play out.Â
