A Crossfire Novel, Book 2

By: Sylvia Day

Narrated by: Jill Redfield

Length: 10 hrs and 19 mins

Publisher's summary

Gideon Cross: As beautiful and flawless on the outside as he was damaged and tormented on the inside. He was a bright, scorching flame that singed me with the darkest of pleasures. I couldn’t stay away. I didn’t want to. He was my addiction…my every desire…mine.

My past was as violent as his, and I was just as broken. We’d never work. It was too hard, too painful…except when it was perfect. Those moments when the driving hunger and desperate love were the most exquisite insanity.

We were bound by our need. And our passion would take us beyond our limits to the sweetest, sharpest edge of obsession.…

Critic reviews

"A steamy read that will have you furiously flipping pages." ( Glamour)

"When it comes to brewing up scorchingly hot sexual chemistry, Day has few literary rivals." ( Booklist)

HOT, HOT, HOT

Would you listen to Reflected in You again? Why?

I will listen it several times, I don't want to miss anything

What did you like best about this story?

I like the way you can feel the connection between Gideon and Eva

What about Jill Redfield’s performance did you like?

Jill's voice is perfect

Too much angst this time around (some spoilers)

What did you love best about Reflected in You?

I have enjoyed the series and I can see how this book will be the conduit between the first and third book. However, this one was a little tough to get through. Lots of pain and angst throughout with very little relief from it. As the reader, I started to get uncomfortable, because the pain experienced by G an E was relentless, and even the sex seemed painfully desperate. They are just so chronically unhappy. I would have liked to see a longer book with a few chapters of lighter connection between Gideon and Eva -- there are one or two but even they are fraught with tension and tears. Even Cary gets seriously hurt. Way too much worry, and becomes too much for the reader when there is no relief.Corinne shows her true bitchy self, which is not exactly how we are introduced to her in the first book. More angst!!That being said, I love the way Sylvia Day has crafted the story, and I can't help but love the characters, so I'm giving it four stars. It grabbed me enough to keep me up until 3AM on a work-night, but I thought 7 hours was way too short for the second book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Reflected in You?

Hands down, the last few pages when Gideon can finally tell Eva he loves her. We knew it, she knew it, and he knew it -- but it is quite emotional to hear him become stronger and trusting enough to tell her. Secondly, it was important to hear what happened to Gideon with the PhD student-- from his voice.

Which scene was your favorite?

Any scene Gideon is in is powerful. He is kind of nuts, but you have to love his kindnesses and adoration of Eva. He is a bit of a sex-god and fun! Too bad he's fiction (he would have to be, with that kind of sexual ability!) Some of the "Dom" is there in a few scenes, but he's really more (non-intentially) cruel in Reflected to You.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did listen all in one sitting. Not that happy about it, because it did take me two listens to finish Bared to You. I thought this one was a little too short,

Any additional comments?

Looking forward to the final book to see how the whole story concludes -- altho-- I would love to see a 4th book. I kinda like following these two intense characters, and coming from Philadelphia, I enjoy the New York backdrop which I am familiar with.I like the new characters, but I missed Magdalena and wondered why she suddenly disappeared.Again, Jill Redfield was very good as the narrator. There were a few mispronunciations and voice issues, but she has become the voice of these books for me.If you are addicted to the series, you will want to listen. So, I would recommend it if you are ready for a bumpy ride.

Any additional comments?

I LOOOVVEE that they stuck with the same narrator its my biggest problem with audiobook series is when they change the narrator

Amazing story but Audio falls flat

I read this series on my own a few times already, i thought id give the audio a try. Its great but! I think i dont like how she fakes the male voices. It just sounds corny and just lacks. But the rest sounds great

Surprise Ending

Where does Reflected in You rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I was very into this story to the point where I was so mad at Gideon Cross!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Gideon Cross, because he is so confident and sure of himself.

Have you listened to any of Jill Redfield’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I listened to the first book of the Crossfire series and she is great. Takes her time narrating and has a great voice for her characters.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Consequences of severe passion and obsession

Absolutely INSANE…but SO entertaining!

The plot is even more gripping than the first book. I loved the story, and the fact that this second book had fewer sex scenes actually made it a more engaging tale (but don’t get me wrong, the sex was HOT). I enjoy this series as a larger-than-life piece of entertainment, so the implausibility of these characters’ lives can be ignored. If you want insane drama, this book delivers!

My only suggestion for improvement would be to have a male voice actor speaking for the male lead. It is really hard for a female to do a male voice that doesn’t sound comical, and in the context of a lusty dialogue, it is really hard for me to get past. I really like Jill Redfield’s performance overall, but I would have appreciated an actual male voice accompanying her’s.
