Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness...
He was beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot. I was drawn to him as I'd never been to anything or anyone in my life. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily...
Gideon knew. He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other's most private worlds...and desires.
The bonds of his love transformed me, even as I prayed that the torment of our pasts didn't tear us apart...

Lots of smut, as one can very quickly figure from the way even the first chapter is written. The smut is definitely written better than, say, 50 Shades, but let's be honest— that's not particularly difficult. As much as I couldn't STOP reading, there's no plot, which therefore makes it an insanely easy read, and perhaps that's where the success of this book lies.

It was pretty good, the storyline had a few weird turns and be cautious of the trigger warnings, but overall, pretty good. Very similar to the 50 shades storyline, at least the first book, but Eva is much more of a spitfire than the 50 shades girl. Definitely continuing the series.
Comparing this book to Fifty Shades of Grey does this book a major disservice. Especially if you want someone who thought that book was hot garbage to read it. Yes it was hot garbage. FIGHT ME.
Eva Tramell is young, beautiful, rich and completely messed up by a rough past. Gideon Cross is young, beautiful, even richer then Eva and completely messed up by a rough past. Eva is well aware of her flaws, upfront about them, and has taken steps to try and piece herself back together ( i. e. Therapy). Gideon past is also fucked all the way up and he thinks he's fine and it takes coming across Eva to realize that's he's seriously the fuck not and his billionaire self needs therapy as well. AND THERE'S NO SHAME IN THAT.
This books gets way intense at times. Both Eva and Gideon feel very real. Yes they are young, rich, hot AF and the sex is B-A-N-A-N-A-S...but that's half the reason we read these books. The other half is to feel that connection with two people just trying to deal with life and their past and moving forward and maybe with that one person who'll stand by you when you're on top of the world and when you feel like the whole world is against you.
I felt like this book was giving me whiplash from all the running back and forth Eva was doing. She was quick to say EFF ALL THIS IM OUT GIDEON. And I'm not mad at her for it.
