Gabriel's Inferno By Sylvain Reynard
I'm over whelmed with the feelings I have for this book It was recommended to me from a friend because I had read Fifty Shades of Gray (who hasn't) and Trust in Advertising (nothing to scream about). After reading the summary I was determine to read it. Romance and Dante? That's a nerd girl's DREAM and it didn't disappoint.
From a passing moment between her and a friend's brother Julia fell in love with the work Dante. Now as a graduate student studying the work of Dante she is given to opportunity to study with Gabriel Emerson a renowned Dante specialist. It would be a dream come true. If only he could remember their one beautiful fleeting moment from years ago. All he can remember is that "Emerson's an ass" note that he caught Julia passing in his class.
This is not just a romance novel but a story of personal strength, redemption, and forgiveness. If you're looking for another Fifty Shades, THIS IS NO IT. The writing is beautiful, intellectual and creates such an appropriate ambiance for the story. Julia is a REAL girl. She's relatable and intelligent. Her hold life doesn't just revolve around the love she has for Gabriel. She has other plans and, while she would be utterly upset if things don't go her way in the love department, it doesn't seem to end her entire being (Someone has to know what book I'm hinting at). Gabriel is my new favorite contemporary romance character. He's dark without brooding. He's intelligent and although obnoxious at first, doesn't fit the normal bad boy persona by the end of the book.
Kudos to Ms. Reynard for creating an engaging, though provoking, and deep romance.
