** spoiler alert ** First of all this book was a slight improvement of the first. This series so far has shown me that it is indeed possible to thoroughly dislike the main guy love interest. I can barely tolerate Gideon. Most of the time I want to bash him over the head. The whole love dynamic in this book was ridiculous. They have only known each other for less than a week. I repeat LESS THAN A WEEK. which mostly consisted of arguing, insults and arrogance from Gideon's side. And the insta-love on Gwyn's side. Idiot. And then the spontaneous periods of kissing. Like WTF is even going on. And then towards the middle of the book Gideon thinks it's a great idea to make a proclamation of love. Like where the hell did that come from?

“Gwyneth,” he said, perfectly seriously, “I’ve fallen in love with you.”
My stomach muscles contracted as if I’d had a shock. But it was joy. “Really?”
“Yes, really!” In the light of the torch I saw Gideon smile. “I do realize we’ve known each other for less than a week..."

When I read this part, I burst out laughing. I thought to myself 'REALLY? You were accusing her of being a traitor like yesterday. You really think Gwyn is going to fall for this shit Gideon? I mean she can't be that dumb.'

Right? WRONG. The worst part is that Gwyneth actually fell for that crap. Although I must admit Gideon redeemed himself a bit in the epilogue when he saved Paul. Perhaps you aren't a total douche-nozzle Gideon. Perhaps.
