Professor Gabriel Emerson has left his position at the University of Toronto to embark on a new life with his beloved Julia. Together, he’s confident that they can face any challenge. And he’s eager to become a father. But Julia’s graduate program threatens Gabriel’s plans, as the pressures of being a student become all consuming. When she is given the honor of presenting an academic lecture at Oxford, Gabriel is forced to confront Julia about the subject of her presentation—research that conflicts with his own. And in Oxford, several individuals from their past appear, including an old nemesis intent on humiliating Julia and exposing one of Gabriel’s darkest secrets. In an effort to confront his remaining demons, Gabriel begins a quest to discover more about his biological parents, beginning a chain of events that has startling repercussions for himself, Julianne, and his hope of having a family. Review: A worthy finale to the Gabriel series - (Please note: there are spoilers in this review, so if you haven’t read the book yet, you may want to skip it!) There are books you read, and then there are books that capture your mind and heart so thoroughly that you want to live in them forever. When a beloved series ends, it can be a painful thing. We thought we’d seen the end of the story of Gabriel Emerson and Julia Mitchell with the close of “Gabriel’s Rapture.” Fortunately, author Sylvain Reynard came to our rescue when he announced he was writing “Gabriel’s Redemption,” the third and now likely final (sob!) installment in the Gabriel series. So though parting is very sweet sorrow, the book provides answers to questions that remained open at the end of the second book while giving us a wonderful look at how the couple embarks on their life together. At the end of “Gabriel’s Rapture,” The Professor and Julia had just wed and are celebrating their honeymoon. When we reconnect with them in “Gabriel’s Redemption,” they’ve been married almost a year. Gabriel has settled into his new position as a professor at Boston University, but Julia is having a hard time adjusting to the workload and the expectations put upon a PhD student at Harvard. Julia has just completed a paper which analyzes a particular canto of Dante’s “Inferno.” The high quality of her work has earned her an invitation, through the inimitable Professor Katherine Picton, to present the paper at a conference at Oxford University. Gabriel is very proud and excited for her, until she tells him that the paper’s conclusions conflict with some of his own research. Slipping into “Gabriel is an ass” mode, her husband is infuriated – and, very likely, threatened. We’d read several times throughout the series that Julia was often worried about being consumed by Gabriel, and the reader here sees one of the ways in which that can happen. But instead of being intimidated by Gabriel’s expertise and knowledge, Julia sticks to her own theory about the canto, which discusses Guido de Montefeltro and the possible role of St. Francis in saving his soul. Once Gabriel lets his anger blow past – a lesson in patience that’s encouraged by his father, Richard – he rereads Julia’s paper and acknowledges that her theory is plausible and backed up by solid research. It’s quite a departure for Gabriel, who’s know to be stubborn and arrogant in many ways, especially when it comes to his professional expertise. As I read his admission that Julia was probably right and had done fine work on her paper, I realized she had truly effected a sea change in her husband. He’d reconsidered not just for the sake of his marriage, but for the sake of research and scholarly advancement. Smart move, Gabriel. Supporting your wife helps your marriage and the annals of Dante research. As the Snarky Narrator might say, “Now, was that so difficult, Professor?” They depart for the conference in Oxford, where Julia will present her paper to an audience of Dante specialists from around the world. She’s naturally nervous but shored up by the encouragement of Professors Emerson and Picton. The scene where she discusses her findings, and then fields questions from experts with years of experience ahead of her own, is one of my favorite in the book. It’s a joy to see Julia’s strength and confidence as she more than holds her own in a roomful of intimidating tweed jackets...and an obnoxious enemy from the past. While at Oxford, Julia and Gabriel run into their old nemeses, Christa Peterson and Professor Giuseppe Pacciani. The two are still involved with each other, a relationship fueled by the need for sex and revenge. Deluded as ever, Christa is determined to seduce Gabriel in spite of his marriage to Julia. The reader will note gratefully that she is no more successful this time than she was in the prior 24,389 times she attempted to lure him since she’d shown up in his classes at the University of Toronto. All joking aside, Christa is relentless in her determination to have The Professor for herself. She could be the most disliked person in the Gabriel series. And while readers may get satisfaction from the scene where she is publicly embarrassed at the conference in England, she is later the victim of an assault. It’s an upsetting event; for all Christa’s hard-heartedness, we know she must be deeply wounded and traumatized when she is raped by her lover. I have a lot of sympathy for Christa because of what happened to her. Sad to say, women are victims of vicious and cruel crimes, and Sylvain Reynard shows that anyone – male or female, wealthy or poor, educated or not – can fall prey to a predator. It’s a cautionary tale which emphasizes that victims come from all backgrounds and circumstances. (Julia was nearly raped and probably would have died at the hands of Simon in “Gabriel’s Inferno” if Gabriel hadn’t arrived when he did.) The blame for this incident should be rightfully put on the perpetrators of such acts – here, the twisted, duplicitous Pacciani. There are also many joys in the series, and one of the greatest is witnessing the personal growth of both The Professor and Julia. That’s something that continues in “Gabriel’s Redemption.” Through his love for his wife, Gabriel learns to become more vulnerable, more forgiving and patient, and less in control – all lessons that Julia teaches him, gently and by example. And he, in turn supports her work and her devotion to her scholarly pursuits while reaffirming that her character - her compassion and charity - are among the qualities that make her highly desirable. She learns to have more confidence in herself and her choices. I think this is made most evident in the intimacy between Gabriel and Julia. There are a number of love scenes in the book, but as always, Reynard writes them lyrically and sensuously; they are never gratuitous. To me, they underscored how Julia grew in confidence and in her ability to accept that she was physically desirable, and that she deserved the ardor of the man she’d loved for so many years. She has grown past much of her shyness and feelings of inadequacy. I was struck by this most in a scene where Gabriel and Julia are in bed, enjoying a sexual position that recalls one of the famous black and white photographs that Gabriel had in his bedroom in the Manulife Building a lifetime ago. When Julia had first seen the picture, she was repulsed by it, believing that it represented a sexually dominant side of The Professor. Now, however, she welcomes the chance to explore different facets of intimacy with her husband, including activities that might have frightened her before. She trusts Gabriel; she knows he only wants her pleasure and fulfillment, and it’s brought her light years ahead of where she was when they met. It’s wonderful to see how comfortable she is and how their love is expressed so thoroughly (and frequently) together. In spite of the progress and their ability to work through the professional disagreement, Julia and Gabriel face another obstacle: his strong desire to become a father. While Julia wants a family too, she and Gabriel are not in sync over the timing. She’s worried that a child would derail her schooling and her research for her PhD. It’s a difficult situation which inspires the reader’s sympathy: this is one difference for which there is no compromise. Mother Nature takes the situation in her own hands, as it turns out, and while it may have been a shock to Gabriel and Julia, it’s immensely satisfying to the reader. The question of children in the Emersons’ future is also tied to what I think is a major theme of “Gabriel’s Redemption:” the importance of family. From the start of their marriage, Gabriel finds his home with Julia; they are already family together. Some of the most significant events in the book involve Gabriel’s discoveries about his biological family: his mother, his father and his half-siblings; and a grandfather whose academic, religious and charitable achievements were well known to The Professor, even as he never knew they were directly related. Julia’s father remarries, and he and his wife give her a baby brother. Paul, who has returned to Vermont to be with his parents and recover from his broken heart, reconnects with an old love; that flame, it seems, didn’t completely go out. Simon finds true love and redemption only to see it snatched away by a past girlfriend and family ties that place political advancement above matters of the heart. And the wonderful Richard, Gabriel’s true father, finds peace through a magnificent dream about his late wife that helps him keep going and again be a loving participant in his own family. I will never tire of these characters, but if “Gabriel’s Redemption” is really the last book in this series, it’s the perfect way to end it. Thank you, Sylvain Reynard. Review: AMAZING!! - OH MY!!! Signing up for this tour was a dream and all I can say is that I was beyond excited to be able to participate. First off, it pushed me to finally....FINALLY read the books... (yes, I know....CrAzY....) So, I picked up Gabriel's Inferno and suffice it to say I kicked myself in the rear for not reading this book earlier. OH MY FREAKIN GOODNESS that book was so awesome...I could not put it down...it was fantastic....*sighs* Well, I wrapped it up and dove right in to Gabriel's Rapture and again...BAM...caught up and knew I would forever love these books... So, here I am riding on this book hangover high and knew that I would be starting book 3, Gabriel's Redemption, and ultimately have to say goodbye to my beloved Gabriel and Julianne. *takes a deep breath* Ok...I am going to try my hardest to write a review letting you know how FAN-FREAKIN-TABULOUS this series and book is without giving any spoilers. It will be hard because I am reviewing the third book.. So, here goes... I open Gabriel's Redemption and it picks up right where Gabriel's Rapture leaves us. We are following the happy couple and things seem to be moving along quite well for them. I am trying my hardest to figure out exactly where this book is going to go, but truthfully, there isn't any use. Sylvain Reynard never once took me on the path that I thought he would. Yes, there were close calls on my guesses, but he does such a wonderful job creating a storyline that keeps you so engrossed that your guesses just don't hit the mark. That....That is a REMARKABLY AMAZING THING!! Love it!! Anyway, just like the books before, we are immersed in the academia world and the eloquent verse in these books are like smooth butter on bread...It is refreshing and stimulating and through every scene I was enchanted. Of course I was also spellbound to the one and only Professor Gabriel. OH MY STARS!!! That man...HOT DAYUM!!!! I may have to take a timeout because my heart is just a fluttering and it is getting HOTTTTT in here...*takes a deep breath to regain composure* Ok...OK...I am back to normal... From book 1 until now the transformation that we see Gabriel go through as well as Julianne is awe-inspiring. There were so many moments in which I felt my heart and chest swell with such adoration and respect for these two characters. Their love truly did conquer their fears and brought out better individuals because of it. And to say that they had a healthy sexual relationship would be putting in mildly. These two could heat up the Arctic and cause Global warming with how SCORCHIN their passionate encounters were. *fans self thinking of those juicy flaming moments* WHEW!!!! Ok...so we definitely see that they have journeyed through some tough weather, but Gabriel's Redemption doesn't let up on these two and we find that even though they tried to leave the past in the past, it kept popping up in their present. What will this couple do to cope?? What major things are going to interfere to disrupt their lives this time?? To say the least, I was surprised and elated at how things progressed in Gabriel's Redemption. It is a beautiful tale of spiritual growth that warmed my heart exponentially. My stomach was in knots worrying as well as it was filled with butterflies at awesome discoveries. If this is a series you haven't started....DON"T WAIT any longer...Believe me...It is a brilliant piece of literature. It is mind blowing and I am truly going to miss this alluring and enticing series....

It is mind blowing and I am truly going to miss this alluring and enticing series.... A DEFINITE MUST READ!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable but not as much as Books 1 & 2 *by L***O on December 18, 2013* Sylvain is the master of writing woo and so I was excited about the release of this third book in the series but I found I wasn’t enjoying it quite as much as I did for the first two volumes. I feel the difference here is that the story is not about wooing a character and is not about a budding romance and the exciting thrill of something new. This is a story about an established relationship; about making new lifestyle adjustments as a newlywed couple and addressing the continuing existence of their network and social conflicts. This story is categorized on Amazon as erotica – but it’s not. Yes, there are a plentitude of sex scenes between Julia and Gabriel – almost too many -- but I seem to recall the scenes were written more explicitly in the first two books; not so much here. They’re nice, but they’re Harlequin style and that’s not bad; it’s just not erotica. Julia has become a stronger character and demonstrates her developing backbone in social situations and in her personal life. I enjoyed reading her presentation at the Uffizi and how she graciously dressed down Christa among their peers. I can foresee her character continuing to strengthen as she carries on her path to earning her doctorate and evolving as a new mother. Gabriel will always be a work-in-progress type of character. His strong personality is constantly tested resulting in extreme high and low emotions. Julia is a very good ying to his yang. It was a little tiring reading how each of them got caught up in their heads overthinking the stressful situations at hand or over fearing future outcomes, but life is like that. We all get caught up in our heads debating the right, least hurtful way to approach a stressful situation, and everyone around us gets tired of us. So, here fiction certainly mirrored life. *********************SPOILERS************************* I appreciate Sylvain’s good writing and how he didn’t always take the expected path in scenes. For example, Christa sneaks her business card into Gabriel’s suit pocket. The reader anticipates that Julia will find the card and a clichéd misunderstanding will flare up. Even when Gabriel tosses the crumpled card into the hotel room wastebasket, the reader still expects Julia’s discovery. Sylvain didn’t take a clichéd route in writing the card’s revelation and that’s certainly refreshing. However, the style of many of the chapters was template-like and so the delivery was feeling a bit rote by the end of the book. The snarky narrator is humorous but he appears in nearly every chapter and becomes a nuisance. Most of his narrations contained a phrase along the lines of “it should be noted ...” My snarky narration: (Yes, yes, yes, but now you’re becoming a pest.) I enjoyed revisiting Paul’s character and I easily empathized with his feelings. I liked how he was impassioned to defend Julia and to hold his own against Gabriel. Paul and Julianne certainly would have made a good couple together and Paul knows that but he’s willing to pick himself by the bootstraps and move forward with his life. Some of the side characters were distracting: Tom and Diane and their surprise pregnancy; Rachel and Aaron and their struggles to become pregnant. Honestly, I don’t feel this story needed these additional tangents. In addition, it was a little bit distracting to be passively introduced to a slithering yet unnamed character at the Uffizi Gallery. Now that I’ve had the benefit of reading a teaser to Sylvain’s next novel, I suspect the slithering character will make a more pronounced appearance in our future readings of Sylvain’s next novel. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gabriel's Redemption (Gabriel's Inferno) - Gabriel's Rapture (Gabriel's Inferno) - Gabriel's Promise (Gabriel's Inferno) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/4777089-gabriels-redemption-gabriels-inferno](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/4777089-gabriels-redemption-gabriels-inferno) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
