He wants Eva at his side every second of the day. Problematically, their behavior (mostly Gideon’s) prevents the two from achieving stability. They go to therapy together but tell the therapist that the only thing that is off the table is for the two of them to stop seeing each other. However, neither of them have been in healthy relationships and thus have no past experience from which to draw. They both want the same thing – to be together. There isn’t necessarily a plot in Reflected because this is a character driven, relationship driven story. It’s volatile and crazy with huge swings of emotion. Their relationship is neither tender nor sweet. Gideon has night terrors that cause him to attack Eva in her sleep, nearly raping her. Eva has been in therapy for years to recover from abuse from her step brother. Bared to You lays important ground work for the two main protagonists.Įva and Gideon are two very screwed up individuals.

I’m not sure if you could start with Reflected in You and I don’t think you would want to. If anything, I wondered if Eva and Gideon’s issues could be resolved with only one more book to go. Part of my response to this book is in direct correlation with my biggest fear for the book – that the conflict between Eva and Gideon would be unnaturally extended as we worked our way through to the end of the trilogy.
