This is book three and the final chapter in Sylvian
Reynard's Gabriel's Inferno series. This book picks
up six
months after book two, Gabriel's Rapture. Professor Gabriel
Emerson and his new wife Julianne have left the turmoil at
the University of Toronto to embark on their new life
together as newlyweds in Boston. There was so much drama
and angst in the beginning of their relationship, but now
they have made it through the fire and are happy together.
They have the normal marital problems but their love is
always present and is never trampled on. I think the road
they had to endure to be together really makes them so much
more appreciative of what they do have with each other. To
see them stand united, declaring their love for each other
openly and without any doubts is beautiful.
Julianne is working on her PhD at Harvard when Gabriel
decides that he wants to be a father. Julianne's graduate
program at Harvard threatens Gabriel's plans. As the
pressures of being a student become all consuming, Julianne
is given the honor of presenting an academic lecture in
Oxford. However, her research and presentation conflicts
with his own. Not to mention that several individuals from
their past appear to want to sabotage Julianne's lecture.
Gabriel has come a long way since the beginning of his
relationship with Julianne. In an effort to continue on his
path to confront his remaining demons, Gabriel has been
digging into his biological parents. In doing so, he meets
his half sister and learns that the father he remembers is
not the same father that she had.
When the couple are given an unexpected gift, Gabriel is
ecstatic, while Julianne can't help but feel that all her
hard work will be for nothing. When the threat of losing
Julianne becomes all to real for Gabriel, will this fling
him back into his past or will he continue to move forward
and finally be rid of his remaining demons?
I really enjoyed this series. I love how Gabriel has slowly
overcome most of his demons and his past and how the couple
has dealt with each bump in the road. Where he had been
dead set on becoming a father, to now wanting a baby with
Julianne. This series requires you to read the books in
order. There is just so much of a back story that you need
to go through in order to fully understand the relationship
these two have. Since this is the only books that author,
Sylvain Reynard has published, I am certainly curious to see
what she will come out with next.
