Review: Gabriel's Redemption,by Sylvain Reynard+International Giveaway

Title: Gabriel's Redemption

Autor: Sylvain Reynard

Amazon | Barnes & Noble

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 her 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.

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.

I still can’t believe that it ended! 

Sylvain Reynard created such a beautiful and intense trilogy and it’s really hard to let Gabriel and Julianne go away. Well, they are not going for long, I really have hope that we can see them in Sylvain’s next book. About this one, I have to tell you that it’s a little different from the others. It is an amazing story with an incredible plot, but because they have an official relationship there are some aspects that turn the story in other directions. To be honest, in the beginning I was afraid, something was not right, but after reading a couple pages everything started to make sense and I enjoyed reading it very much.

Gabriel is always perfect! Even after marrying with the love of his live, he maintain his personality and continue to fight for his happiness. He struggles with himself, putting Julianne in the center of his Universe. He is so intense! About Julianne I have to say that she is so selfish in this book. She seems only interested in her studies and keeps forgetting about her husband wishes. Sometimes she made me so mad! But in the end I really loved the book and looking back I can’t say this one is worse than the others. It’s just different. 
Hope you enjoy and much has I did. Sylvain Reynard is an awesome author and I hope to read more of his work.
