Captivated by You is the fourth novel in the multi-million global best-selling Crossfire series from Sunday Times best-selling author Sylvia Day.

Gideon calls me his angel, but he's the miracle in my life. My gorgeous, wounded warrior, so determined to slay my demons while refusing to face his own.

The vows we'd exchanged should have bound us tighter than blood and flesh. Instead they opened up old wounds, exposed pain and insecurities, and lured bitter enemies out of the shadows. I felt him slipping from my grasp; my greatest fears becoming my reality; my love tested in ways I wasn't sure I was strong enough to bear.

At the brightest time in our lives, the darkness of his past encroached and threatened everything we'd worked so hard for. We faced a terrible choice: the familiar safety of the lives we'd had before each other or the fight for a future that suddenly seemed an impossible and hopeless dream . . .

I love the Crossfire series with all my heart, and could not wait for this book to be released, but what the book offered was so very disappointing it gave us nothing just a lot of back and fourth and no answers to the questions we all have been waiting for and no wedding, maybe it will be in the next book. The only thing I did love was Gideon's POV. It was not worth the wait or the money and I will not be buying the next Crossfire book.

Emotional, thought-provoking continuation of Gideon & Eva's love story

Reviewed in Australia on 22 November 2014

Verified Purchase

Well, it's been quite a wait to finally get to read more of Gideon and Eva's story. And i must admit, that upon finishing the book, i had a few reactions about how this whole 4th book unfolded.

One of the first things i thought, ok, i actually said it out loud....was WHAT!!!??? Another BOOK!!!??? Only a few moments beforehand, i had noticed that i was 97% of the way through, and at that point in the story, i'm thinking.....hang on, this is either going to end really badly (as in one of those horribly quick, anti-climactic ending's where nothing was really resolved but they live happily ever after anyway) or the story isn't going to be finished in this book. Sure enough, there is going to be a book 5.
I wasn't aware of this at the time of purchasing CBY, but that's pretty usual for me anyway.....i tend not to get caught up in the hype about books / authors, instead i like to arrive at my own conclusions, or get to that book / author in my own way. I read A LOT, so i find myself going off on tangents a bit, but get to a certain place eventually.

So, after my initial reaction, i slept on it, had a coffee on it, and pondered what all this meant and how i feel about the book.
When you think about it....the first books were really all about Eva and how she evolved as a person, working through her issues etc. We learned that Gideon was also a complex, troubled man, but it was predominantly all about Eva. I was absolutely thrilled to be reading from Gideon's POV in this book!! I loved how we are now starting to learn more about what's going on behind his eyes, how his mind works and the demons he battles with. Just as there was a process that unfolded for Eva, now we are being taken on that same journey with Gideon....as well as watching how they now face challenges together as a couple. So once i looked at it from that perspective, yes i can understand why there needed to be another book. Sylvia wanted to give Gideon equal dues to be able to evolve and free himself from his past. Because in reality, could two people who are deeply affected by issues such as theirs, truly just magically have a happily ever after without there being some exposure of their souls, without some kind of healing process and without learning how to be in a true, healthy relationship with each other? I don't think so. And if Sylvia had written it that way, everyone would be all up in her face about how unrealistic it was, how vacuous the characters are, or that it was just a "quickie" ending to finish the book and be done with it (i know i would have felt this way). So i completely understand why the continuation of their story is happening over two books. I know that i am keen to learn more about Gideon and what has shaped him into the man he is and how this will change him into the future.

Another point i'd like to make is in regards to the length of the book(s). These are full length books, not small little instalments that are 100 pages long and you have to buy 3, 4 or 5 of them in order to make up just one full size novel. There are plenty of those out there, where you pay a dollar or two for each instalment, and before you know it, you've spent $5-$10 on the series, which may or may not have been worth it (in terms of storyline, character development etc.....it's usually a lot of wham-bam-thank-you-maam and not much else!). So in comparison to those kinds of books, this series is definitely worth it.

I found this book to be such an emotional ride....there were moments of deep thought, laughter, tears and of course, the usual sexual intensity that we've come to expect between Gideon and Eva. Some interesting twists and turns throughout the book, which you don't really get all the answers to - even though this may be frustrating, it's also part of the build-up to explore how G and E handle everything that is being thrown at them. It was also great to continue reading about Cary and how is issues / relationships are unfolding too. I like that there is more to the book than just Gideon and Eva, that some of the other secondary characters are being explored as well.

So overall, i was very happy with this book. It did help to go and re-read the first threee books beforehand, just to re-acquaint myself with the series again, as it has been quite a while since i read them. So i spent the last couple of weeks reading them again, to be ready for the new release. I am looking forward to "One With You" and to continuing to share the journey with Gideon and Eva.....i do hope the book is out soon.

The crossfire series continues to draw breathe into its readers.

Reviewed in Australia on 1 January 2015

Verified Purchase

Sylvia Day has done it again. The crossfire series is masterfully written to draw its readers to absolute breaking point. Losing yourself in the wealth and opulence of the characters lives, forcing yourself to question your own choices and wondering if it's to late to change and start a fresh. Gideon and Eva are learning the devastation that drowns new couples. Love and lust get you so far and then reality pulls you into the dark arena of truth, suitability and the possibility that sex just isn't enough to keep you together. Eventually to hold onto yourself you have to let the one person you love go.
As a reader it is hard to overcome the fragility of these characters problems. In real life we would laugh at their ideas of problems but when list in their world you really feel for their pain. Over coming sexual abuse to become a complete person is the real lifelong battle. Xxx

I had been looking forward to the latest instalment of Eva and Gideon's tumultuous story, having read all three earlier books. This one started a little slowly, but certainly built up into just as entertaining a read.

In my humble opinion, Fifty Shades wouldn't be the sensation it is today if Sylvia Day had got there first with her Crossfire series. Her style is inviting, the characters have more depth and the story is slightly more believable! Although Ms Day must be fed up of comparisons, I have to say that I'm in awe of her ability to describe the human sex act in such a refreshing variety of ways!!

The ending to "Captivated by You" sets us up perfectly for what must be the final book in the series, "One with You".

Still captivating but hard to keep reading all in one sitting.

Reviewed in Australia on 24 November 2014

Ok so we knew that this was going to be the 4th book of 5. As it was stated at the end of Entwined with you. After such a long and drawn out (and quite frankly very frustrating) wait I believe I got what I expected. Gideon has many problems to sort out before Eva's and Gideon's relationship can progress. If you're looking for a quick fix to these problems to get to the happy ever after, then you are going to be disappointed. Some loose ends have been wrapped up however many more still need to be addressed. I found this book to be not as annoying as entwined as I felt things were going forward and not too bogged down on just Eva and Gideon. However, I did find it quite a slog to get through the emotional context all at once. I dragged reading out this book a week to fully absorb it all. I still love the series and can't wait for the final book to see how our favourite couple end up and how Cary's problems are resolved also.

Very disappointed, waited so long for this book and got nothing. The murder was just brushed over in a couple of paragraphs it seemed to just lose its whole appeal. Sex sex and more sex in all the books but book 4 just seemed to go over board with the sex and story just went nowhere. Unfortunately as I have read the first 4 books I Wil be compelled to read the last, but I will not be waiting with bated breath for it. I usually have enjoyed all that Sylvia Day has written but I think she should of wrapped this up after book 3 but $10 a pop for each book not bad money making.

Gideon is back!!!!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 December 2014

Verified Purchase

Ok let’s be honest, I was pacing the floor waiting for this book to arrive and after countless days of the postman playing with my emotions, I found myself jumping for joy when I finally had Gideon back in my hands!

Being reunited with Gideon and Eva was incredible, intense, sexy and truly captivating.

I loved this story, not just because it allows us to see more into Gideons past but because it allows us to reach into the core of his emotions and be captivated by his point of view, because that’s right ladies and gentleman, Captivated by You is a dual narrative, allowing us to see both sides of every clinche, every argument and everything that life throws at them.

For me the dual narrative made this book that much more intense, I’ve always known their feelings are strong but you get the true force of emotions when you are allowed inside Gideons head.

Believe me when I say, there’s a lot happening. With troublesome exes and people set on revenge, Mr and Mrs Cross find that married life isn’t a honeymoon.
But like always, as drama attempts to pull them apart, passion forces them back together again.

Whilst it was wonderful being reunited with Gideon and Eva, I was also very pleased to have Angus back in my life.
I know he isn’t a major character but there is something special about Angus that always makes me smile, I love the way he cares for Cross and it’s evident that for Gideon he is the one person that can be trusted with everything.

I lost myself in Captivated by You and as with the others in this series, when I turned that final page, I was already waiting for more….

2 stars is all this book deserves

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 April 2019

When I read the 1st book in this series, I was "Wow", read ladies now I've lost faith. Should have stopped on book 3, I would have been "none the wiser"

I'd really forgotten how complicated Sylvia Day has made the Crossfire series. While we want to find an end to Eva and Gideon's abusive childhoods. I think we all know that living with this type of abuse is heartbreaking. To hit on a subject that is immortal and degrading on a victim should be dealt with sensitivity. But the Author has tried to captivate her audience by elongating the story causing confusion and distress making this book virtually unbearable to read. Very disappointed

Same old same old. Story doesnt even move on from book 3.

I feel awful to only give this book 3 stars :( I love Sylvia Day and I have loved the first 3 books in this series (the first 2 more than the 3rd)
I don't know where to start with my review. It has taken me months to get through this book. I never read books in between a book but I have with this one simply because it was so easily put down and picked back up again. The story has barely moved on and I feel that the author simply filled the book by explaining every single detail too much. Eg; I placed the cupcake into my mouth with my fingers........ ok so you 'ate a cupcake' obviously you used your fingers. This amount of extra filling could have cut the book in half. This book could have actually finished the series if Sylvia hadn't been greedy!!
Will I buy book 5? Of course I will. Because I am now invested and I hope and pray that the last book is as good as book 1 or 2.... PLEASE!!!!!!! But will I be anticipating it's release? Probably not. I wish this series had of been 3 solid good books because it would have been loved a hell of a lot more by a lot more people. Sylvia Day is a fab writer, no one can take that away from her. But she took a brilliant opportunity and turned it into a dragged out let down of a series. If you haven't read this yet, here's an eye opener. In the book Cary reveals that the Eva/ Gideon saga has only been going on for 10 weeks. TEN WEEKS!!! how ridiculous is that!

Sylvia does not let up,I loved this book especially Gideon s POV. For me the story did move along nicely and as with any relationship there are ups and downs and with this couple I don't think I would have felt happy if it just skipped over the surface of their problems.We find out more about Cary and the Nathan storyline is wrapped up.I cannot wait for the next book, just hope we dont have to wait a year and personally I dont mind how many books it takes.For some reason people seem to have a problem with Sylvia and this series expecting it to be a trilogy like FSOG but I'm sure everyone would have read more of that series if it was available. Some reviews seem very personal and bitter towards Sylvia and I feel this is so sad that they are then reflected in the reviews of a great book, it is her choice how this story is written, how long it takes and these are her characters, so give the woman a break please.

The good and the bad

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2015

“Take me. Take all of me. The good and the bad. Everything. Take it all.”

I went in to this book not expecting very much. Not because of the writing, not because of the story itself, but because it has taken so freaking long to land on my kindle that I really thought all of my interest had been lost. After all it has been SEVENTEEN months since I read the last instalment (like most people). There was no way I was about to read the first three books again, so I was a little concerned. But it turns out I had absolutely no need to be. I love Gideon and Eva and within seconds of reading Captivated by You I was back in their world without a worry. It felt like visiting old friends, albeit slightly crazy ones.

It did take me a while to actually recognise and become familiar with Gideon and Eva though. That could have been partly because of the way this book is written. In the previous three books the story is told solely from Eva's POV, which is fine, but we've never really been inside Gideon's head, apart from small snippets, whereas this book is told in alternating POV's. It was a little shocking to finally be in Gideon's head, although I'd say it definitely helped with the whole story. Gideon is one of the most interesting characters I have ever read about and so being inside his head and understanding why he acts in certain ways was a massive help. It just made me love his character even more.

"My wife would fight the world for me. It was miraculous to know that. When no one else had fought for me, I'd somehow found the one soul who would."

There were some things that I got tired of, for instance Eva's behaviour towards Gidoen at times, and the whole sex tape fiasco. We know, thanks to the previous book - Entwined with You - that a sex tape of Eva and Brett exists and there are all sorts of threats for it to be released, but honestly, having the will they/won't they use it going on throughout the whole story got a little boring for me. There was no way Gideon was going to allow it to be shown, we all know that, so I didn't feel like it needed to be dragged on. Another thing that grated on my nerves was Eva's attitude and behaviour towards Gideon. Being with him, seeing all of his ways, Eva knew what she was getting herself in for. Gideon himself has admitted he isn't perfect and will screw up, so why oh why must she fly off the handle at every little thing he does wrong. On one hand I understand her, but on the other, I can't help thinking she is a spoiled brat. Gideon has already changed so much by being with her, I can't help thinking she treats him unfairly. It's like she wants him to be a completely different person altogether.

Aside from all of that, on the whole, I really enjoyed this book. Yes, I hated the fact that I have waited so long to read it (for whatever reason.. I don't want to get in to that) but I do think it was worth the wait. I've never read a series with so many books in it, and I would have thought that I'd end up bored, but it hasn't happened with this series. I could read about Gideon and Eva forever..

“I’m hanging on by a thread, Eva.”
“You don’t have to hang on. Let go. I’ll catch you.”
