Review: Gabriel's Inferno- A Beautifully Written Book by Sylvain Reynard reviewed by Loraine Oliver - Gabriel's Inferno is a book that I will read over and over again in the next years. As a matter of fact this is my second reread of it, as I had read it when it came out back in July of 2012. I decided to reread all his books again while I am waiting for The Shadow to come out! So I have decided to review them all as well! Gabriel Emerson is a very dark character in this book. He is a Dante Professor in Canada at University of Toronto. He was adopted at the age of ten, and it was by a wonderful family, but his formative years were very sad. He is a stern professor but a good one, as a Dante specialist he needs to be! He is extremely handsome and sexy and he devotes his evenings to seeking pleasure. feels that he is beyond any hope of any kind of redemption. At a time in his life where he had gotten himself into a lot of trouble and had to come home for help, he was a cocaine addict and drank, and he had a girl he got pregnant and then she lost their daughter Maia when she was 5 months along. Gabriel secretly feels it is his fault as he ignored her, treated her bad, and did not give her what she needed. This is why he feels there is no hope. This is why he also feels unworthy of love, and will not see it in his lifetime. At that time when he was younger and had been expelled from college, he came home, and he is drinking on the porch when young Julia Mitchell sees him for the first time, she had been invited to dinner, she went into the house and everything was in shambles. Gabriel and his brother Scot had gotten into a huge fight, and her best friend Rachel, with her boyfriend left, she was so upset. Grace, Gabriel's adopted mother (and incidentally nurtured Julia as well as she had no mother) was up in her room crying and her husband had gone to get help for Scot at the emergency room and then to get Gabriel out of the mess he was in and to get him into rehab. Julia had gone back outside and sat next to Gabriel and they struck up a conversation. Gabriel had been drinking and kept referring to her as his "Beatrice", or his "brown eyed angel". They walked down to the apple orchard together and then talked and had one kiss and Gabriel gave Julia an apple for dinner. Then they laid together innocently holding hands until Julia woke up alone the next morning. She was so upset. She felt like she was lost without Gabriel already. This then is the beginning of them, and several years later Julia has gone to college to be a Dante specialist, and was hoping to run into her Gabriel again. She stayed innocent and always stayed hopeful that they would be together. Her father could not afford to send her to Harvard, and although she qualified for scholarships she went to Toronto herself to take her next stage of her degree there, and took Gabriels class! It is during this first meeting that Gabriel is so terrible to Julia in class-he does not remember her! His treatment of her is terrible and does not go unnoticed by Paul a big handsome farm boy from Vermont, who is Gabriel's student helper and teacher. He is instantly attracted to Julia and compares her to a timid rabbit! He from that moment on determines that he will be her protector. He does not realize Julia knows Gabriel from before and that he does not remember Julia. His cruelty towards her does not go unnoticed by others. After he gets back from his mother's funeral, things come to a head when Rachel comes to visit her brother Gabriel and she gets in contact with Julia and she sees how her brother is towards Julia and tells him that he had met her before! At this point Gabriel is conflicted, and he keeps having memories flash back in his mind he can't quite see. The book continues and we get to see how Julia and Gabriel finally reconnect with each other. There is so much mental and sexual angst in this book, and the best thing about this book is the beautiful way the author writes the story. There are many correlations between the story and the Dante's Inferno works. It makes the book so much more rich and special, it is not just a romance it is also a history of the world of Dante in a way, so I just fell in love with this author from the beginning and have read all of the books! I will be reviewing these books this week! I gave this book 5***** stars and I would have given it 10 stars if I could! Do yourself a favor and read this book! I know that once I read it, I knew I had stumbled on something so special!
Review: Mr. Grey who? I'll take Professor Emerson please!! - I don't really know where to start with this review. I don't want to talk about the plot too much because I don't want this to be a spoiler review. I also have a hard time putting this in the Contemporary Romance category, but I don't know how else to classify it. It's definitely not a paranormal romance, but it's not "just another romance" novel either. It's more of a grand love story... Gabriel is a relatively young professor, yes, I still think that 33 is young! He reads older because of his darkness and his intellect and quite frankly, the way he treats Julia. In the beginning he treats her like a child. Julia is 23 and a grad student that ends up at the college he teaches at when, due to extenuating circumstances, she is unable to go to Harvard. Her area of study, Dante, just happens to be his specialty. It becomes obvious quite early on that it's not a coincidence. Clearly they have history that isn't fully revealed until about half way through the book. I love the darkness of this story. Gabriel is clearly a tortured man who believes that he is completely beyond redemption. I rarely highlight passages of the books I read but this really struck me and I had to save it. "I don't expect you to understand. You're only a magnet for mishap, Miss Mitchell, while I am a magnet for sin." That says it all for me. This is the precise moment that I fell in love with Gabriel. I like Julia throughout the book, but her insecurity drives me insane at times. I know that there is a reason for it, but until that reason is fully revealed it's almost too much. Gabriel and Julia go through a lot to be together. Their relationship is also forbidden because of their positions in the University. They each have demons that they have to face, and eventually share with each other to get past the darkness that they are immersed in. They seem to be on the right path, but they still have a long way to go I think. I am not going to say anything else about the plot except to say that , for me, it flowed well. I think that SR did a wonderful job with the plotting and the way the story unfolded was really quite natural. I know that it seems like Julia should have told him about their connection earlier, but for the sake of the story in it's entirety it needed to be done this way. Otherwise it would have ended up rushing the story and the relationship between Julia and Gabriel. The book seems long, but I was enjoying it so much I didn't want it to end so that didn't bother me at all. In reading we do find out that SR isn't a fan of rushing into things! There is a nice build up of tension that follows to the very end of the book. I have read a couple of "romance" novels by men before and I will say that this one was the most sensual. Not that men are incapable of writing love scenes, but the scenes in this book are very beautifully written and while some of them leave the characters unsatisfied they will leave you panting for the next one! I can't write a review of this book and leave this out. I remember reading Dante as assigned reading in some of my college classes, but this book made me want to read Dante for fun. I loved the way he compares the Julia and Gabriel to Dante and Beatrice. It makes me want to find out everything I can about Dante and Beatrice. I thoroughly enjoyed Gabriel's seminars on Dante and would love to have been sitting there in class with him as a professor!
