Gabriel’s Rapture picks up right were Gabriel Inferno leaves off. Gabriel and Julia are happy, in Italy and in love. When they return back to Toronto, there are things that come up that makes life much more difficult for the pair.
I love the way that Gabriel loves Julia. He is so protective, kind and provides her with endless pleasure. I love Gabriel and I believe that no matter how many books I read after this book, he ruined me for future book boyfriends. He is the definition of complexity and I enjoyed this second installment because here I could see another side of him, the protector. Now, when Julia's future is being threatened, he is willing to do everything to not let it happen. The puts her first, having to face suffering and loss because he can't bring her pain.
Sylvain Reynard did not disappoint! This sequel is at least as good as Gabriel's Inferno. The book is full of thoughtful ideas about life, sin, forgiveness and love. In Gabriel's Rapture, the author connected love and sex in most beautiful way and the way he sees marriage is absolutely wonderful. The book has a very substantial effect on me. It made me cry and it made me think a lot about life. I don't remember feeling such a strong compassion for main characters in a long time. This book about love and forgiveness touched my heart and I am sure I will re-read it couple of times.
I am truly devoted to this series and to Sylvain Reynard's penmanship. God, you can feel how dedicated he was in every aspect of this book, from the plot, to the characters and other details that surrounded it. I can only imagine the hard work and research put into writing this book, because not one word in this book is unnecessary and without meaning. It's masterfully told!
I was not one bit disappointed by it. I could write pages just on my favorite quotes; the writing is superb and extremely sexy without having to be erotic. The book was as intense as the first but far more romantic. The writing is brilliant and I could feel what the characters were feeling in my heart. I don’t think that the book could have had a better ending.
I just can’t get enough of this series. It's one of the well-written sequels I've ever read because of the way it was delivered. I'm excited to find out how the series will conclude in the third book!
