The reason this didn't get 5 stars is because of the first and middle part. I hate how their relationship goes from being perfect to not all because of some misunderstanding. It was just and endless cycle. It didn't get good until the end. The end almost made it a 5 but then I remembered how hot and cold their relationship was and how annoyed I was about Eva thinking if she should let Gideon go and how they felt bad about what they were doing to each other. 
 I disliked how throughout the whole book Gideon didn't open up to Eva. Only when she threatened to leave did he open up a little. It always felt like he used sex to avoid discussing things and even though she wanted to talk and let him open up or was mad at him, she always relented. Didn't care much for that. 
 I'm not sure how to fell about her going out with Brent to make Gideon jealous just like she is of Corinne. I'm proud she's standing up and she did get through to him but I don't like the idea in general. 
 I mean it's a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars. 
 I loved that Eva started snooping around to find answers that Gideon wouldn't tell her. What the detective told Eva at the end was mind blowing. I was not expecting all the details to line up with the actions Gideon did. It was a good way to end this book. I almost want to go back and read all the things Gideon did and see them in a different light. 
 I loved seeing them evolve as a couple though. At the end, they were not jealous of the other and trusted each other. That was sweet. 
 This book was better than the first because it had more plot with the whole Nathan business. Then again I always end up liking the second book more than the first. It was the same for Fifty Shades series and Gabriel's Inferno series.
