katedress 's review for:

Gabriel's Inferno by Sylvain Reynard
5.0

Ok, this isn't going to be some long embellishment with quotes and pros and cons and all the stuff I usually do because this book is to deep. I've read the 1 star reviews but I disagree. Now I can't say this book would be the love story I'd want for myself because, personally, Gabriel is basically a walking sonnet and I would gag on the worship he would give me constantly but how this book was written is what makes it 5 stars for me.

I looked at my husband more than once and asked, 'do boys really think this way?' The author was eloquent, detailed and did not rush the storyline. His writing was believable. It gagged me at sometimes because too much lovey-dovey makes me roll my eyes but most women feast upon that. He wrote a better love story than 75% of female writers do and I respect that. This book being 1,079 pages on my iPad was longer than most that I read on the daily and yet enough of the plot was answered but more suspense was woven into the story, making me want to read Gabriel's Rapture (I currently am).

The building, building, building of their relationship climax comes together at the very end of the book and the author turned kissing into actual foreplay. It was nice to read a book where people aren't banging by page 3 with a 25 page description of it. Because a relationship is more than just sex and that is what Julia and Gabriel have. We shall see if this theme continues into the second book!
