Gabriel's Promise: 4 (Gabriel's Inferno)

When I first read about this fabulous couple and their history and present story I was overwhelmed, especially when they had their HEA. Imagine my delight when I read this exceptional author announced a further visit to the Professor Gabriel Emerson and his beautiful wife Julia, or Juliette as Gabriel likes to refer to her. We revisit following the arrival of their child Clare, after a somewhat troubled pregnancy and delivery. The humour, passion and delightful story onsite in to college life abounds. We meet old characters such as Katherine, Paul, Richard, Rebecca and Rachel and we move on viewing their lives through the power of words and descriptive narratives. Gabriel remains a complex but incredibly protective, over powering and humourus character, that remains so adorable. Julia’s character has grown but still remains a little rabbit like. Although she knows how to cope with Gabriel nature with tender love and persuasion. Clare is portrayed as a very delightful growing child, who has two very and adoring doting parents and a wide extended equally devoted circle of family and friends. We have drama as ever, and an undercurrent of uncertainty and definite intrigue that keeps the reader enthralled. It would be unwise to start this great story with this book, as it would be more than a little foolish to have missed the first three books about this couple, but also confusing. I sincerely hope we have more books to look forward to in this enchanting story, and pray that the author continues to get inspiration. Well worth 5 stars, and thank you SR, for a wonderful revisit to this delightful family.

I loved this book. Great characters and story. If you like a good romance then this book is for you.

What an epic conclusion! I have loved this series and am a little sad that it has finish. But what a journey! I have loved every twist and turn of Gabriel and Julia's story. Falling in love is easy, its life that's the hard work. The words stuck because they are true. Everything that comes after falling in love is the hard part. Working to keep your relationship healthy, working on yourself inside that relationship and thats without jobs and being a student, nevermind getting pregnant and adding a baby into the mix but some how they seem to manage this tightrope we call life. I mean there were times when I wanted to bang their heads together for trying to protect each other and not talking and causing a bigger problem but we are all guilty of that in relationships sometimes. Though through all of their struggles, their highs and lows I found myself falling in love with them and their story over and over again. I could hardly put the book down for wanting to know what happened next and I wasn't disappointed. I do live in hope that one day they might make a reappearance one day. Until then rereading the books will be the perfect salve.

I was excited and apprehensive when I discovered "Gabriel's Promise," the fourth book in Sylvain Reynard's Gabriel's Inferno series. Having thoroughly enjoyed the first three books, I wondered if this instalment could maintain the same intensity and passion. This book picks up with Gabriel and Julia as they embark on the journey of parenthood after welcoming their daughter, Clare. Witnessing their growth as a couple and their challenges as new parents was heartwarming. Reynard's writing still beautifully captures the essence of their love story. However, I found myself agreeing with some reviewers who felt that the plot in this book was not as robust as in the previous ones. While it was lovely to see the characters' domestic life, unresolved mysteries and loose ends left me wanting more. Nonetheless, "Gabriel's Promise" is a satisfying read for fans of the series who want to continue following the lives of Gabriel and Julia. It may not reach the same heights as its predecessors, but it still offers glimpses of their enduring love. I hope another book in the series will tie up those loose ends. In summary, if you've fallen in love with Gabriel and Julia's story, this book is a worthwhile addition to their journey, even if it leaves you with a few unanswered questions.

A long awaited book 4 in the series. Once again Sylvain Reynard does not disappoint. A beautifully written and romantic story with surprise pockets of laugh aloud humour. His enigmatic writing makes you want to visit all the places he writes about, a book you won’t want to put down until you have finished it .

This book was a great read. It was nice to see the Emerson’s enjoying there time together and seeing both characters grow. Both Gabriel and Julia were able to grow and became better versions of themselves, but only because of each other. I really enjoyed this series.

I found the Gabriel series about a year or so ago, during reading This Man, someone suggested it. Bought it, and it had just been sitting on my self. But I discovered, Passionflix is making the three current books into movies which will be released this year, so I had to start reading...and I can't put the books down. I have fallen in love with Julia and Gabriel and their love story. I'm obsessed, and I can't wait for the movies to come out!

When I thought Professor Emerson couldn't be more lovable, he becomes a Dad. When I thought Julianne couldn't be more brave, she stands up for herself once again. I love these books so so so so much. Truly inspiring. It's a beautiful love story that touches close to my heart. Thank you Sylvain, thank you for the joy of a lifetime.
