Gabriel's Promise (Gabriel's Inferno Book 4) Kindle Edition

I have read every book Mr Reynard has written. I loved Gabriels Inferno/Rapture and honestly felt the series was complete. Either motivated by fans, or money, the author wrote Gabriels Redemption. In my opinion, this book was unnecessary, as I felt it was rushed, too many things going in different directions, too many unanswered questions . The biggest complaint I had is how the author decided to "bridge" the Gabriel series with the Florentine series. I wouldn't have had a problem with this if both series were contemporary romances and not combining contemporary with paranormal. To me, that stretched the readers belief and imagination too far, and I did not like it one bit, still don't. But, hey, that's me. The one area I did like was Gabriel and Julia having a child. Again, the ending of this book indicated the trilogy was now complete. Wrong !!! Again, I am not sure if the author again was motivated by fans, money, or now the addition of a movie through Passion flix. It matters not to me, this book was boring and made no sense.I will explain. As I said I have read the Florentine series (loved this more than the Gabriel series). If the readers have read all of Mr Reynards books, surely they have picked up that this book to is a "bridge" to the first Florentine series based off of timeline.What is off for me is the subject matter of Gabriel's career opportunity. This is never , ever mentioned in the Florentine series when Gabriel and Julia are mentioned. So now the question is what is going on?There were again too many loose ends and the book just kinda stopped like brakes slamming.It is clear to me there are more books coming, but I am finished with this series . I was after Gabriel's rapture, and should've kept it that way.Again , sorry readers, don't hate me.

I loved these characters from the first couple of lines of the first book, and while I enjoyed this last book, and wish for more. I feel as if I have been left in limbo maybe I've drank from the "River of Lethe". On several parts, it makes you think there is something wrong with Julianne, when at the end is only exaggerated. I loved to see the couple adjust to being a parent and balance life decisions in their new roles. But I felt unfulfilled at the end. I noticed it was the end only because I swiped to the next page and read "Acknowledgement" so I had to go back and saw at the very bottom there it is "Fin". I relate this book to book two it left us yearning for more, and we all know the Julianne and Gabriel fans wanted to know more, therefor I am truly hoping for a fifth book.

Beautiful couple and lovely writing, but to say I was shocked when the book abruptly ended, is an understatement. There are so many unanswered questions. If there’s not going to be another book, then I don’t understand all the drama. I love how much Gabriel loves his baby and how he adores Julianne, but I’m left feeling unsatisfied after waiting so long. Hopefully, there will eventually be answers to my questions.

If you’ve followed me for any length of time on social media, you already know that Sylvain Reynard is one of my favorite authors. I’ve been a devoted reader of SR’s since 2010 and my love for Prof. Gabriel O. Emerson knows no bounds. When it comes to book boyfriends, no one comes close to The Professor. So when it was announced that “Gabriel’s Promise” would be published, my excitement went into overdrive.The fourth book in this series picks up right where “Gabriel’s Redemption” left off. As a reminder, “Redemption” is a story in which The Professor seemingly has it all. But even as Gabriel and Julia navigate through their newlywed bliss, Gabriel remains convinced that his happiness is destined to be short-lived, that it could be ripped away at any moment. When his infant daughter, Clare, is born and placed in his arms for the first time at the conclusion of book three, we get a glimpse of how blessed Gabriel’s life will become by fatherhood.“Gabriel’s Promise” takes this glimpse and fully immerses us in those first precious days and weeks of new parenthood. Gabriel’s love for Clare is limitless and it’s a joy to read. The Professor dotes on his Principessa as only he can, and I took it all in with a big smile. Seeing Gabriel achieve true happiness has been a long time in the making. He is an amazing dad. Naturally, there are some complications that arise for the Emersons during this time. What’s interesting to read is how Gabriel chooses to deal with his obstacles in “Promise” compared to the earlier books.My only word of caution would be for those who haven’t yet read “The Florentine Series” or “The Man In The Black Suit.” There are elements from those books that have found their way into “Gabriel’s Promise” and might cause some mild confusion. That’s not to say that you need to read those books before diving into this one. Just be aware that some dots won’t be fully connected with this novel, and that you may want to move on to those other stories afterward.“Gabriel’s Promise” is my first read of 2020, and as usual, SR sets the storytelling bar high for my subsequent reads this year. I’m giving this novel five stars for it’s heart, humor, sexiness, and the mere existence of the dazzling Prof. Gabriel O. Emerson.(If you thought Gabriel was hot before, just wait until you spot him strolling through the Harvard campus with Clare in a fancy Swedish baby carrier.)

I read this as avidly as I did the other three, was really getting into it, and feeling uptight not knowing if julianne was going to be seriously I’ll or whether she’d get better, and .................. nothing, don’t know either way, it didn’t address it. Then when they had an intruder and the bead was found, it was like nooooo what was this all about, surely we’ll find out soon, and ....................... once again nothing............... then julianne falls out with cecilia, and I’m wondering oh dear what negative effect will this have on her academic career, and ......................... again nothing..... I was so disappointed with the ending, nothing is resolved, they go home from their holiday, and julianne falls asleep with the lights off, when she’d been too terrified to be at the house, AND she puts the baby in the nursery after worrying about leaving her out of sight, suddenly they’re going to Edinburgh and nothing is resolved, and I’m left thinking WHAT???????????? If there isn’t going to be a continuation then all I can say is what a waste of my time, after the first three books, which were brilliant I’m left feeling somewhat let down by this one. While saying this, it’s as readable as the others, until everything just fizzled out...really disappointed.!!!!

I'm a huge fan of these books and was so excited about book 4 but I feel its boring and lackluster. The way it ended was a disappointment as I wanted to see them in Edinburgh and more. There are still loose ends in the book too.

When I first read about this fabulous couple and their history and present story I was overwhelmed, especially when they had their HEA. Imagine my delight when I read this exceptional author announced a further visit to the Professor Gabriel Emerson and his beautiful wife Julia, or Juliette as Gabriel likes to refer to her. We revisit following the arrival of their child Clare, after a somewhat troubled pregnancy and delivery. The humour, passion and delightful story onsite in to college life abounds. We meet old characters such as Katherine, Paul, Richard, Rebecca and Rachel and we move on viewing their lives through the power of words and descriptive narratives. Gabriel remains a complex but incredibly protective, over powering and humourus character, that remains so adorable. Julia’s character has grown but still remains a little rabbit like. Although she knows how to cope with Gabriel nature with tender love and persuasion. Clare is portrayed as a very delightful growing child, who has two very and adoring doting parents and a wide extended equally devoted circle of family and friends. We have drama as ever, and an undercurrent of uncertainty and definite intrigue that keeps the reader enthralled. It would be unwise to start this great story with this book, as it would be more than a little foolish to have missed the first three books about this couple, but also confusing. I sincerely hope we have more books to look forward to in this enchanting story, and pray that the author continues to get inspiration. Well worth 5 stars, and thank you SR, for a wonderful revisit to this delightful family.

I found the Gabriel series about a year or so ago, during reading This Man, someone suggested it. Bought it, and it had just been sitting on my self. But I discovered, Passionflix is making the three current books into movies which will be released this year, so I had to start reading...and I can't put the books down. I have fallen in love with Julia and Gabriel and their love story. I'm obsessed, and I can't wait for the movies to come out!

This book was a great read. It was nice to see the Emerson’s enjoying there time together and seeing both characters grow. Both Gabriel and Julia were able to grow and became better versions of themselves, but only because of each other. I really enjoyed this series.
