Gabriel's Inferno is the first in this intoxicating trilogy featuring Gabriel and Julia, following their sensual journey of forbidden love - with all the obsessive yearning of Twilight with the intensity of Fifty Shades of Grey.
One man's salvation, one woman's sensual awakening . . .
Gabriel Emerson is a man tortured by his dark past. A highly respected university professor, Gabriel uses his notorious good looks and charm to lead a secret life of pleasure where nothing is out of bounds.
Sweet and innocent, Julia Mitchell enrols as Gabriel's graduate student and his immediate attraction to her, and their powerful and strange connection, threatens to derail his career. Wildly passionate and sinful, Gabriel's Inferno is an exploration of the intense power of forbidden love.

Customer Reviews
Love these books !!!!!!!
Could not put this book down loved the story and people in it just want more more more. Can't wait for book 3 don't want them to end.
Don’t believe the hype
I bought this book because of the reviews and I couldn’t bring myself to bother finishing it. I liked the Dante touch and the actual romance, but I found the writing pompous and the characters boring. When Julia says “ unfortunately it wasn’t the first woman that’s hit on me” it told me more about the writer than the character.
Poor
Overlong Dante pomposity hidden in a second-rate novel, with a weak, feeble, completely unlikeable "heroine" and a boring male protagonist. I wish writers would educate themselves about women and write female characters with spines, instead of simpering virginal wimps who must be coddled and wrapped in cotton wool.
This could have been a good novel, but with all the Fifty Shades comparisons flying about, that's a double-edged sword, as Fifty Shades is the worst book I have ever read. So yeah, this book is better. Only just.
