One With You (Crossfire 5) By: Sylvia Day

(N)  In this final book of the Crossfire series,  after falling in love Gideon and Ava are finally married. But while marrying each other was easy staying together is more of a challenge especially when there's still so much damage between the two.  Both Gideon and Ava have shared their deepest and ugliest secrets with one another, they both suffer from their pasts in different ways. Both have lived separate lives when it comes to family and Gideon is having to learn what it means to really share Ava with those around them, specifically her close family. But this isn't the only thing that could come between the two newlyweds.
       On With You is the fifth and final book in the Crossfire series and it is also the longest book in the series, meaning that this one took a little longer to read. This book was also told through both the point of views of  Eva and Gideon. There seemed to be a lot going on in this story that didn't really seem to apply all that much to Eva and Gideon's relationship. For example and possible spoiler, the story line involving Eva's mother's past. This part of the story line seemed to really have nothing to do with anything else that was going on in the story. It really seemed as though this part of the story was just there to take up space.
       I really wasn't into this book and it took forever to read. I felt I was just reading this book because I invested so much time in this series and I just wanted to see how the series ended. But I feel as though this series just dragged on longer than it really needed to and that there were stories that didn't really need to be told but were. And when it came to the end of this book and series it seemed as though this book just ended. I thought the end was going to be a little different with maybe an epilogue of a couple years into Gideon and Ava's relationship giving the reader an idea of how their relationship would be years from now. But that wasn't how the book ended and I was a little upset with that.
       Overall I would have to say that the only reason to really read this book is if you already read the other books in the series and really want to know how to book ends.
