WOW!! Did these books take me by surprise. I was recommended these books by a friend. They're not my usual type of books. These are romance, not fantasy, or erotica, but they totally blew my mind, and I can honestly say, I can't wait until the next one is out, Gabriel's Redemption.

Gabriel is a University Professor, and Julia is his student, what Gabriel doesn't know is that they have met before, 10 years before, and he's about to remember. Then the fun starts. Imagine the stuffy, style English Literature/Arts Prof, all up his own ass, and yep, that's him. Then imagine a shy, run of the mill, don't look at me girl, Julianne. There's Paul, the love interest Jock, and Christa the shameless whore. There's a whole lot of surprises left in store, or storyline.

All in all, it's a fabulous package. Sylvain Reynard has done an amazing job with them. As well as being a lovely enough person to take time out of their busy schedule to sign e books through www.authorgraph.com . I got mine a couple of weeks back, and cherish it. Thank you !
