![]() ![]() They are planning a trip to Vegas since Gideon has to go to Arizona for work anyway to give themselves some time to figure things out and fix their relationship as friends. However, Cary messed up his love life by engaging in a clusterfuck orgy on the living floor and Eva is having to deal with the fallout of that but I do believe she is partially at fault for it since she and Cary have always leaned on each other for support and she unknowingly took that away from him by spending all her free time with Gideon. ![]() The opening just recaps the ending of the first book, how we learnt of Eva’s incredibly messed up past and how Gideon’s is just as bad even though they haven’t openly spoken about it yet because he isn’t ready to. Re-joining Gideon Cross and Eva Tramell was amazing, even though I am still reminded of the irony of Eva’s name and it makes me laugh. ![]() I re-read Bared to You a little while ago and still loved it, way more than Fifty Shades of Grey and I am finally continuing with the series since I’ve heard that it gets so much better.
