From the author of the New York Times
bestsellers Gabriel’s Rapture and Gabriel’s Inferno comes the epic conclusion to the captivating
romantic trilogy.
Professor Gabriel Emerson has left
his position at the University of Toronto to embark on a new life with his
beloved Julianne. Together, he’s confident that they can face any
challenge. And he’s eager to become a father.
But Julianne’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 Julianne 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.

A lot of romance books end with a marriage or happily ever
after, which makes me happy, but sometimes I want to see more of the couple. I
am so happy I got to see more of Gabriel and Julianne.
Gabriel’s
Redemption picks up six months into Gabriel and Julianne’s
marriage. They both have a troubled/tragic past, but they didn’t let that stop
them from wanting to be together and getting married. And they are determined
to fight for what they have, no matter who tries to get in the way.
Even though their marriage is still fresh, Gabriel has
decided that he wants to have a child with Julianne. Julianne is hesitant to go
down that road so early, especially since she is still in the process of
finishing school. I thought this was a unique twist because I never thought
that Gabriel of all people would be the one who wanted to have a baby so fast
considering what he went through before.
I liked Julianne from the beginning, but I ended up liking
her more so in the final book. She can
be shy, but she voices her opinion more when it counts. It was good to see her
come into herself more, show her stubborn side, and stick up for herself more
than she had in the past.
Gabriel was such an arrogant jerk in the beginning of the
series. He has come a long way. Even though he still has some of that
arrogance, he has grown and learned how to let go of some painful issues in his
past.
It isn’t long before old faces resurface and try to sabotage
what Julianne and Gabriel have.
I was very excited to read this book. Well excited and a
little scared. I was afraid that I wouldn’t like it or that it wouldn’t be
nearly as good as the previous two books in the series. I was happily wrong on
that account. Even though I liked the first and second books better, this was a
really good read. It was fun to see Julianne and Gabriel in the marriage. And I
happen to think that Sylvain Reynard has such a way with words. Faith, love,
redemption, and forgiveness, all play a great part in this series and it is
easily one that I will not soon forget.

About the Author
I'm interested in the way literature can help
us explore aspects of the human condition - particularly suffering, sex, love,
faith, and redemption. My favourite stories are those in which a character
takes a journey, either a physical journey to a new and exciting place, or a
personal journey in which he or she learns something about himself/herself.
I'm
also interested in how aesthetic elements such as art, architecture, and music
can be used to tell a story or to illuminate the traits of a particular
character. In my writing, I combine all of these elements with the themes of
redemption, forgiveness, and the transformative power of goodness.
I
try to use my platform as an author to raise awareness about the following
charities: Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation, WorldVision, Alex's Lemonade
Stand, and Covenant House. For more information, see my Twitter account.
