The scholarly atmosphere of the University of Toronto is
the backdrop for this story and the protagonists are the
enigmatic Dante specialist, Professor Gabriel Emerson and
his graduate student, Julia Mitchell. Their first encounter
with one another is nothing short of a disaster. Gabriel is
rude, demeaning and a complete jerk to her, yet beneath
that tough, icy exterior lies a vulnerable heart.
GABRIEL'S INFERNO explores the troubled past of Gabriel
Emerson that is spotlighted through a hazy lens. Reynard's
writing creates for a very intimate experience - flowing
and eloquent, darkness interspersed with areas of light.
Though the characters themselves are interesting, it is
Reynard's writing style that makes this book feel romantic.
He expertly weaves seduction into every page so that
despite the fact that Gabriel and Julia are forbidden to
act on their attraction, readers don't feel cheated in
terms of the romance.
At over 500 pages, this book is a lesson in patience and
determination. Some scenes drag on for far too long and
don't necessarily push the plot forward yet there are also
scenes that cause your chest to tighten with emotion.
Midway through the progress that Gabriel and Julia have made
begins to stall and made me wonder how a relationship like this
could work. There is no natural progression for these two.
Obstacles, both of the professional and emotional kind
stand in their way. But it is their struggle with hope that
I think readers will become entranced by, as they root for
these
two to prevail over their own personal demons.
GABRIEL'S INFERNO is a beautifully written, gut-wrenching
story of two souls finding solace and hope in each other.
Reynard keeps readers riveted to the pages!
From national bestselling author Sylvain Reynard comes
the haunting, unforgettable tale of one man's salvation and
one woman's sensual awakening . . .
Enigmatic and sexy, Professor Gabriel Emerson is a
well-respected Dante specialist by day, but by night he
devotes himself to an uninhibited life of pleasure. He uses
his notorious good looks and sophisticated charm to gratify
his every whim, but is secretly tortured by his dark past
and consumed by the profound belief that he is beyond all
hope of redemption.
When the sweet and innocent Julia Mitchell enrolls as his
graduate student, his attraction and mysterious connection
to her not only jeopardizes his career, but sends him on a
journey in which his past and his present collide.
An intriguing and sinful exploration of seduction, forbidden
love, and redemption, Gabriel's Inferno is a
captivating and wildly passionate tale of one man's escape
from his own personal hell as he tries to earn the
impossible—forgiveness and love.
