I've one thing to say- Sylvain Reynard didn't plan to write this book. He wrote Gabriel's Rapture in the hopes that The Professor and Julia's story would be complete. It's the readers that pushed for this book. They wanted more from this couple...a look into their future a few years down the road. To give us a sense of closure. SR gave us this in spades! Not only did we get the COMPLETE HEA for Gabriel and Julianne, but closure to each and every nuance to their story. Of Rachel and Aaron, he

Were parts of the book a bit long or anticlimactic for me? Yes. Were there parts I felt a bit too religious or spiritual for those who don't believe? Maybe. I can't complain there as I think it added a true sense of person, of beliefs and hopes that there's powers beyond our control...something to pray for and thank blessings for. Aside from that, the only other thing I found myself wishing for was more steamy love scenes. It always bothered me this series was tagged erotica because I don't see it at all....or that it was recommended for lovers of all things FSoG. I find this book totally different. Much more beautifully romantic and less smutty. That being said, a little more steam would've been the icing on my Gabriel cake! I mean, they had orchard sex, museum sex, kitchen counter sex, chocolate body painting sex....*wipes brow*..and desk sex!!!! More deets SR!

Sylvain Reynard is truly one of my favorite authors. This series being my favorite love story of all time. To take such torturous pasts and circumstances and give us their story come full circle, my opinion stays strong...Gabriel and Julianne are my favorite. The author truly knows his Dante and there were parts I found myself skimming when she was doing her speech, or some of the poetry. It's a bit over this blonde's head I guess. But the beauty of his writing remains. Rumor has it, he's venturing into more PNR writing. A shame but I wish all the success in the future to a writer that has touched me like few can.

Gabriel's Redemption was my MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK of 2013 and it so happens to be one of my TOP PICKS for 2013! The Gabriel's Inferno Series by Sylvain Reynard has got to be one of the best series out there today. Screw Fifty Shades of Grey! Screw Christian! Gabriel Emerson is the KING of dominant, sexy, addicting males! I cannot get enough of that man. Gabriel and Julianne's love story is at the top of the charts! Very memorable and impossible to forget. Sylvain Reynard is a fucking genius, tak Gabriel's Redemption was my MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK of 2013 and it so happens to be one of my TOP PICKS for 2013! The Gabriel's Inferno Series by Sylvain Reynard has got to be one of the best series out there today. Screw Fifty Shades of Grey! Screw Christian! Gabriel Emerson is the KING of dominant, sexy, addicting males! I cannot get enough of that man. Gabriel and Julianne's love story is at the top of the charts! Very memorable and impossible to forget. Sylvain Reynard is a fucking genius, taking us on a journey full of passion, emotion, and undying love. I guarantee if you start this series, you will NOT put it down for anything.

"Every night when I fall asleep with her in my arms, I thank God she's mine. Every morning when I wake up, my first thought is that I'm grateful she married me. I will never be worthy of her. But I spend every day trying my damnedest."

If you have followed this series you have been with the Professor and Julianne through major ups and downs, and they have survived, no matter how tough life has gotten, their love is unbreakable, unmatched, and unbelievably beautiful. In Gabirel's Redemption their struggles continue, and we experience their love, their connection grow even stronger. Some of the challenges that they face are typical challenges you have in a marriage, but there are a couple challenges regarding both of their pasts and the threat that lingers with uncertainty. At those particular points in the story, that is when you will catch me gripping my e-reader, and crying my eyes out. Sylvain has created these characters that have buried themselves in my heart, made me care about them so much, and you just never want to let them go. You laugh when they laugh, you cry when they struggle, and you smile when they show their wondrous love to us. Nothing will make you fall in love with a book more, than having fascinating and captivating characters, and not just the main characters, ALL of the characters. You either love em or hate em, but they will never leave your mind.

"I've hurt you, again and again. Yet you're so giving. Why?"

"Because I love you. Because I have compassion for you. Because I forgive you."

The most emotional part that got to me, was the fact that even though Gabriel and Julianne finally had each other, they finally were in a good place, but they kept worrying about the other one leaving them. It was just heartbreaking. I wanted to shake them and tell them to just LOVE each other, stop worrying about when your last day with each other will be. It seemed like they have never been this happy before, so that made them afraid of it, afraid that it wouldn't last, that their love had an expiration date. That intense love, that overwhelming, all-consuming kind of love is magical, and those two deserved magical! Gabriel's Redemption was in one word perfection. Trilogies have to be hard for authors. As a reader you expect an out of the park, fantastic ending to a story that you have been following for a long time. I have read the ending of some trilogies that have been disappointing to say the least, but Gabriel's Redemption was a beautifully complete story. There is nothing better that I would have asked for. Sylvain Reynard did these characters and this series justice. Kudos to you Sylvain, on the perfect ending to a perfect series!

"Apparuit iam beatitudo vestra. I love you."

Rating: 4.5 stars

Upon hearing the news that SR was going to write a 3rd and final installment in the Gabriel's Inferno series I, like every other SR fan, was beyond ecstatic and couldn't wait. Well, waited we did and Gabriel and Julianne are back!! I am beyond words. The ending was beautiful, final, perfect. I was sobbing and smiling simultaneously and I'm sure it was not a pretty sight. My heart wept when HLHS (Tommy's heart condition) w ...more
