Welcome to Maureen’s Books Wednesday’s Favorites. In the
Wednesday’s Favorites post I will talk about a book I loved and that I think
deserves a little more attention. I read popular books, but also many books
that aren’t so popular (yet). In this post all sorts of books from all sorts of
genre’s will have a chance to shine. Today’s Wednesday’s Favorites is ‘Gabriel’s
Inferno’ by Sylvain Reynard, a book I read in January 2014.
The Book:
Dante specialist by day, but by night he devotes himself to an uninhibited life
of pleasure. He uses his notorious good looks and sophisticated charm to
gratify his every whim, but is secretly tortured by his dark past and consumed
by the profound belief that he is beyond all hope of redemption.
When the sweet and innocent Julia Mitchell enrolls as his graduate student, his
attraction and mysterious connection to her not only jeopardizes his career,
but sends him on a journey in which his past and his present collide.
An intriguing and sinful exploration of seduction, forbidden love and
redemption, “Gabriel’s Inferno” is a captivating and wildly
passionate tale of one man’s escape from his own personal hell as he tries to
earn the impossible…forgiveness and love.

Praise for ‘Gabriel’s Inferno’:
throughout and searching out various Dante and Beatrice pieces of art. You
don’t really need a knowledge of ‘The Divine Comedy’ or ‘Dante’s Inferno’. It
is well explained in the book. I highly recommend this one. It’s gorgeous.
unexpected ways, a story that leaves you breathless at every page and that
everyone should read. You won’t regret it and I mean it.

romance readers. This will not disappoint. It’s one of the most amazing romance
stories I’ve ever read about!!!
just so romantic, sad, passionate and extremely addicting that I just can’t get
enough of it.
About the Author:
BESTSELLING 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

Stand, and Covenant House.
