Well, we've waited a long time for this ending...and to say I was disappointed may be an understatement. I certainly expected after this long, drawn out wait, that Eva and Gideon would get an amazing ending. They didn't, not even in the Epilogue. Most of the book was like reading the first four books on repeat...Eva wanting Gideon to give her more, open up. While Gideon always having a melt down because of his need to protect Eva and the fact that he didn't feel like he was the center of her world.**Spoiler Alert**I think the really weird "what???" was the storyline turning to Monica and her life, or rather prior life. The explanation was rushed and didn't add a lot to the story.If you are looking for "What happened to Cary/Trey/Baby Mama", you won't get that answer. There is no conclusion there. Who knows if she has the baby, if there really is a baby, if the baby is really Cary's??? Trey is around but not in the picture at all. Cary was just kind of left in the wind.Gideon and his mother's relationship never resolved. There was a hint of why his brother Christopher hated him so much, but really no resolution there either.At one point, Eva shows up with a dog, like Gideon is the type to have a dog, any dog. But she shows up with what I assume is a small dog, a puppy from the description. Somehow, the dog has the miraculous sixth sense of a well trained, much older, much bigger, therapy dog for people with PTSD. This dog knows to wake Gideon and even at one point Eva from bad dreams and comfort them. This dog pops in and out of the story like an after thought. Another storyline without a lot of substance.
I came back to my review with the intention of deleting it and writing a new review. I was one of the first group of people to write a review, and I didn't want to give away any spoilers. But there were several people the review helped, so I'll just edit. I will tell you that I went back and skimmed through the book again. If I had rewritten the review, it would now only receive a 1 star rating.So, I'll keep some of my original review at the end. But here is my new review. Only the very beginning of the book is where I used a spoiler. I didn't give anything away about the body of the story.One mild spoiler from the first section of the book.NEW REVIEW:The one thing I was happy about is that the doctor immediately deflated Eva's ego by telling her what she was doing was emotional blackmail. Especially since Eva had just accused her mother of the same thing when Monica got upset until she got her way with Stanton. And Eva was very hateful toward her mother.Also, she was so sure that she was right, and by forcing Gideon to share something he wasn't emotionally ready to share, that she had fixed the marriage, because, in her mind, it was him that needed fixing. She just needed to hurt him in order to get her way. When she found out (and how stupid was she really?) that she had pushed him into a corner by blackmailing him, she got all teary-eyed. It goes from there.I feel like that should have been the end of book 4 actually.Then book 5 should have picked up a few months later with Eva working at Crossfire with Gideon. Then she could continue her career goals while contributing to her own company with her husband. That way she could show her intelligence and strength.
