Gabriel's Inferno (Gabriel's Inferno #1) by Sylvain Reynard

“If I have a soul, it's yours.”


This is another re-read for me and one that I have absolutely loved.

My love for The Professor started way back in 2013 when I read Gabriel’s Inferno for the first time, I’ve reread him many times since then, but as has happened with a lot of my rereads recently, I’ve rediscovered just how much I love them and have found I appreciate them on a much deeper level—perhaps it’s age? Perhaps it’s therapy? I don’t know but I adore it. It’s like discovering them for the first time again in a lot of ways and truly feels like a gift.



There are so many reasons I love this series and it’s going to be really difficult to sufficiently put into words just how much this book means to me. You see, when a series has been with you through a really difficult time, for me anyway, it attaches itself to your soul. It becomes a part of you and this series is most definitely a part of me.


Gabriel has, since the first time I met him, been one of my top five (possibly top three) book men of all time. He’s so tortured and moody and intelligent. He’s passionate about all things he loves and that overflows when he meets Julianne and it’s breathtakingly beautiful to read.


Julianne is a character that I’ll be completely honest, I didn’t love in the beginning. I found her a little too meek, a little too gentle. But she evolves during the book and grows which I like. To be loved, adored and worshipped like Gabriel does is intoxicating for sure.

I love the intelligence and depth of both the characters and the story, the sexual tension and chemistry Gabriel and Julianne share. It burns from the page and I feel like while Gabriel is busy showing Julianne what a good lover he is … he also seduces the reader throughout the book too. I simply adore how he worships her.



I adore Gabriel's bow ties, how rich the story is of all things Italy and the depth of emotions you feel while reading. My heart breaks for Gabriel’s confession and my heart thuds for Julia while at home for Thanksgiving and ultimately rejoices when they finally get to be together.


It’s a re-read so I know where we’re headed and yet I still feel like I’m reading it for the first time. A sure sign of an incredible story teller.

Five breathtakingly beautiful stars for this masterpiece.

Driven (book one) by K. Bromberg

  You know when you discover something so fantastic you wish you'd known about it your whole life? This is one of those books. I discovered K.Bromberg early into her writing career and haven’t looked back since.   At first when I started reading I thought I knew what kind of book this was going to be. You meet Rylee and you learn pretty quickly she’s a force to be reckoned with. She’s fierce brave and strong and I love that. You get introduced to Colton very early and he appears to be like so many other alpha males in romance books. Oh, how wrong I was. As the story unfolds, you realise that for all his bluster and dirty talk, Colton is a damaged and deeply feeling guy who doesn’t know how to let anyone in. Their chemistry is insane and the push-pull of their relationship will have you longing for more. It’s a deeply emotional story and one that I have read a number of times and fall more in love with each time I read it. It is without a doubt one of the best trilogies out th...

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by JK Rowling

As a ten year old girl in desperate need of escape, I first discovered the world of Harry Potter.   At the time, it was to my ten year old brain, exciting and very much a world I wanted to be a part of. It was packed full of everything I craved—friends, mischief and magic. As an adult, it’s remained   that but with a much more complex understanding of what all those things mean. When we meet Harry he doesn’t have a place. He’s bullied by his cousin, ignored by his aunt and uncle and desperate for someone to see him, to really see him and to listen. When strange letters begin to arrive his world gets turned upside down and finally, after a giant of a man named Hagrid, tells him he's a wizard, his life begins to fall into place. He heads off to Hogwarts and embarks on a journey of not only magical discovery, but a personal one too. There is layer upon layer of heartbreaking discovery for Harry. He learns not only about this new, exciting world but he also learns about himself an...
