Los primeros capítulos nos introducen en un nuevo episodio de Gabriel y de Julia, se muestra a un Gabriel más vulnerable y que se mantiene protector de su hija Clare, después del susto que le hicieron pasar por pensar que Julia había muerto en el parto. Pero al parecer las cosas se dificultan para los protagonistas.

Capitulo favorito: 4 capítulo que yo título como la invasión de los flamencos

Me dió mucha risa la aparición de cada flamenco en el transcurso de la historia.

Con respecto a los problemas a los que se enfrenta la pareja en esta entrega. Gabriel tiene que decidirse a ir a una serie de conferencias en la universidad de edimburgo y Julia quiere continuar con su estudio de doctorado. Y a todo esto se le suma la crianza y el cuidado de Clare. Podemos ver a un Gabriel súper paternal y protector de su hija y de su esposa. Y como siempre tenemos que soportar en silencio la terquedad de Julia de admitir que no se siente bien de salud.

Con respecto a otros personajes es interesante que Richard, Rachel y Rebecca estén tan atentos a la crianza de la pequeña y que apoyen a los protagonistas. Y que también tengan sus propias escenas para brillar y mostrar más de su personaje.

Me parece que esta entrega sobró, me encanta el personaje de Gabriel y el desarrollo que ha tenido durante los tres primeros libros. Pero ya es suficiente, para mí el segundo libro fue lo suficientemente conclusivo y si llega a salir otro libro no creo que lo vaya a leer.

No entiendo porque la trama del ladrón que entró a la casa de Julia y Gabriel quedó abierta y no dijeron ni siquiera quien es o porque lo hizo

Además la actitud de los personajes con la presencia del peligro fue super loca, no es normal que estén en peligro y se vayan de vacaciones con una bebé de meses.

I totally enjoyed this book!
Author Sylvain Reynard picks up in this fourth book of the Inferno series right where we left off in Book 3, Gabriels Redemption.
This book gives all the feels of being new parents for Gabriel & Julia with their newborn baby daughter Clare.
I enjoyed the love, suspense, and the drama they endure. This book did give me a rollercoaster of emotions when it came to the obstacles they had to overcome.
Overall I enjoyed every bit of being brought back into their world.

Thanks to the publisher for an ARC to read and give my honest opinion.

The first three novels in this series were like Dante's inferno, full of fire, jealousy, and sin. If your expecting that in part four you will be a bit disappointed. This is what happens after the fire. Things settle, you form a routine....its like Gabriel is domesticated. Its still a lovely book but after almost losing Julia, I think it changes Gabriel.

What did I like? Julia is first and foremost in Gabriel's thoughts. His razor sharp focus is still aimed at her which is a joy, despite their domesticity. They are constantly surrounded by groups of people so their sex life has taken a back seat with the arrival of the baby.

Would I buy/recommend? If you've read the first three then your invested....might as well finish the story in bliss. Its like the calm after all the chaos. They still have enemies and the pettiness of stupid people are still shocking but bright side is the baby.

Thoughts for the author? Three stars doesn't mean that I hated the book, it was just left field of what I'm used to. thanks for allowing me a copy to finish this amazing series! I'm looking forward to your next series.

I love this series!

This series pulls me in every time. I love Gabriel and Julie. Their love story was epic, and seeing them with the baby felt like the next step in their life. Of course, they have trials to overcome. I loved it!

O autor escreveu o início da coleção em 2015, depois escreveu um spin-off de vampiros que começa com um roubo de algo que pertence a Gabriel e só em 2020 lança este 4° vol. que é uma sequela imediata dos acontecimentos anteriores.
Pensava eu que teria uma ponte estre as duas obras, mas nada.

Um romance 🔥 não foi, caiu mais para o drama familiar. Essa parte perdeu logo o meu interesse. Depois começaram a acontecer uma série de mistérios à volta do casal que eu esperava levar aos vampiros, mas houve zero resolução desse enredo 🤷🏻‍♀️ Descobri que o Gabriel também conhece o protagonista do livro "O Homem do Fato Preto", ou seja, todos os livros do autor passam-se no mesmo universo 🤔

Este livro teve capítulos super curtos que muitas vezes não faziam sentido para mim interromper o diálogo para trocar de capítulo para continuar exatamente da mesma forma.

Resumindo, foi uma perda de tempo. Não houve conclusão de nada, foi mais do mesmo entre o casal e o fim ficou em aberto...

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

Não recomendo a coleção a quem detesta homens de nariz empinado ricos e não gostava de analisar clássicos nas aulas.

Review will be up as soon as I get cleared to put it up, no spoilers of course, but it's a 5 fantastic stars!

SR I am truly honored for the privilege of reading this book so early, so thank you and Nina for the opportunity and friendship over the years. I missed Gabriel and Julia.

It’s been a while since Gabriel’s Redemption was published, but even then, I wanted more. Gabriel’s Promise is that more I wanted and much more. Gabriel and Julianne’s story has been a part of my life for a decade now. Sylvain Reynard story is one that will transcend time. Not only because the romance story behind it, but all the knowledge you get from them, you will find Dante Alighieri, Botticelli along with C.S. Lewis work within these pages. You get a music playlist that will make your emotions more real.

I have read hundreds of books since Gabriel’s Inferno, none of them have the elements I have found within the series. I suggest you read all of SR books, as you will find some connecting dots with this one.

Needless to say, this book is a must-read more than 5 stars and a series you need to have on your shelf.

Don’t forget to sign up for Passionflix, as you will be getting this beloved story on screen soon!
