Reflected in You (Crossfire, #2)Reflected in You by Sylvia Day
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

***BE WARNED!!  THERE MAY BE SPOILERS AHEAD!!****


Yeah.  Well.  I just don't know what to say.  With the way this ended, I don't know that I can accept it.  Does Gideon's actions finally make sense? Yes.  But the better question is, does it make up for the hell Eva has felt and lived through because of his actions?  I say no.  At least for me it doesn't.  I want to be like Eva and just be ok with him ignoring her for the most part, for running hot and cold with her, for being seen in public with his ex-fiancee and having everyone believe they'd gotten back together, including Eva herself.  I'm not.  And I'm mad.  Not just at Gideon for doing these things (for Eva's protection), but I'm mad at Eva for knowing, knowing, that she's falling back into her old self-destructive depressive patterns, and continuing to allow the little contact they had to continue to eat her up.   I'm mad at her for knowing she needed to break it off with Gideon for her mental and emotional health and then for giving into his cryptic words of "trust me" and "wait" while he ignores her.  I guess I'm stronger than I thought I was cause there is no way in hell that I would have allowed him to continue to stalk me the way he was and to confuse me the way he did.  Their relationship was fragile to begin with, I don't know if I can believe them getting past this hurt; even with her knowing he did it to protect her.  there would always be that nagging thought in the back of my head (and heaven knows it will always be in the back of Eva's).

The secret in Gideon's past was hinted at, and he finally gave her the details.  It was a whopper.  I have a feeling I know who did it to him.  I may be TOTALLY wrong, but from the way things were laid out, I'll be surprised if I am.  At least with him opening up and telling her about it, when they get back together Eva will know that he's willing to let her in more than he had.

Even with my ranting, I loved it.  When a book can make you fired up and ready to spit, it's got to be amazing!  I am looking forward to the next one to see how this chapter will affect their future.

Crafty Round Up for mid-October

 Hi friends!!  I figured I needed to come share my sewing/stitching/quilting updates with you because it's been a while.  So, let's get started... First up is quilty goodness.  And it comes with a story.  Christmas 2021 I bought myself a block of the month subscription from Fig Tree Fabrics for her Manchester by the Sea Mystery BOM program.  If you are not familiar with Joanna and Fig Tree Fabrics, go check her out.  Her stuff is GORGEOUS!!!  I've bought her fabric forever for clothes for the girls.  Joanna does the block of the month programs and sends out fabric and patterns each month and you end up with a beautiful sampler quilt.  Manchester by the Sea was scheduled for April 2022 thru March 2023.  I got a beautiful envelope of fabric and instructions to make blocks each of those months and did not touch a one of them until we came back from Disney last month.  I'm a member of her BOM group on Facebook and have seen the fin...

Hello October!

Hello friends! It's been a while since I've been on here. I've read a bunch of books, eaten some yummy foods, sewn a lot of quilt blocks and stitched a lot of stitches. I've also had a wonderful vacation to Disney with the WHOLE family! Let me just tell you, it was HOT there. Yes, I know it's Florida and it's supposed to be hot.  But ya'll.  I'm originally from south Louisiana,  I get heat and humidity, but this was overwhelming lol the heat indexes were upper 90s and hit 101. In mid-September. But we still had a marvelous time. We rode all the rides we were aiming for and ate most of the snacks we planned for. And we got in two of our traditions-Boston Lobster Fest and mini-golf!  I totally went off any eating plan while there.  Mind you, I am not really on an eating plan right now, but I didn't overthink food.  If I wanted the fish and chips from the England pub at EPCOT, I ate...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
