roxy88 's review for:
Gabriel's Inferno
by Sylvain Reynard
Wow what a ride...I am so overwhelmed by this book!
OK so basic plot Julia Mitchell is a very shy and quiet girl to the point where she gets the nick-name 'rabbit.' She attends Professor Gabriel Emerson's class who is renowned for being a major hard ass and all round prick. Her first day she is immediately singled out and verbally attacked in class. They both have so many secrets that make them the way they are and as the story progresses little bits of flashbacks are shown, these two have a past they don't even know about.
Now when I started this book I was expecting a sexy, smooth talking professor. But OHNO...I don't think I've ever hated a character more. He is a gigantic asshole to Julia and lost count how many times he made her cry. (He even made ME cry) He would say something so insulting and I thought OK...it can't get any worse. Boy was I wrong, he gets to the point where I thought that's it...No way will it work between these two. Then there's a very emotional situation where things switch. By the end of the book I had fallen in love with Gabriel even though he reaaaallly has issues. Now Julia's character almost gets squashed by Gabriel's overbearing attitude, I kept thinking 'get a backbone girl.' She very rarely got mad but when she did I savored it because she got her claws out and sank deep. She had one of those personalities that made you want to protect her.
As I started reading I got lost at times because I thought I missed something but I kept reading and noticed that things get explained later and usually not straight away. Like who certain characters are and how Julia or Gabriel know them. After finishing this book I realized there problems have only just begun. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for the second one to come out. I also will mention it has quite alot of 'mushy' romantic talk in the end half, now I usually don't like that stuff and it makes my eye-roll constantly but in this case it worked extremely well for the book. Well done Sylvain Reynard.
