Book Review: Gabriel's Inferno by Sylvain Reynard

Gabriel's Inferno
(Gabriel's Inferno, Bk#1)
By Sylvain Reynard

Synopsis: 
Enigmatic and sexy, Professor Gabriel Emerson is a well respected 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.

Viviana's Review:
I've heard all of the raves and love for this book. I've also heard, (okay, read) all of the not so good reviews. It’s been compared to, no, not compared per say but advertised as “If you like ‘Fifty Shades of Gray’ then you’ll like ‘Gabriel’s Inferno’.” I didn't like "FSoG". My issue with "FSoG" was the writing. I believe the concept of "FSoG" to be an interesting one, just poorly executed. However, I loved “Bared to You” by Sylvia Day and “Gabriel’s Inferno” is also compared to it.

Book Review: Saved by the Trickster by Shona Husk

Saved by the Trickster
By Shona Husk

Synopsis: 
In a world of cold and Darkness, Lysanna is Trickster, a demi-god charged with making people believe in Light and hope. She travels the world creating magic and wonder, taking human assistants to help on stage and warm her bed. Somehow they always betray her, and they always leave. 

Zander is a fallen Celestial warrior. Cast out of heaven, he has been given one month to earn his way back. When he meets Lysanna he knows what she is. What he doesn’t expect is to discover the pleasures of being human and the burning lust he finds in the Trickster’s bed. Returning to heaven begins to lose its appeal, but he has a duty to fight the Darkness and he can’t let it consume the world. He may have to choose between duty and Lysanna.

Viviana's Review:
I’ve read Shona’s Shadowland series which I really like, so I was excited to have received a copy of “Saved by the Trickster” to review.  “Saved by the Trickster” is published by Ellora’s Cave (Erotica Publisher) and falls within their “Romantica” Imprint & “Twilight” Line. Books within the “Romantica” are a “special blend of erotic romance, featuring a central love story, a happy ending and lots of hot sex described in graphic detail, using the kind of language regular people use, rather than flowery euphemisms.”  “Twilight” is their “Vamps, ghosts, shifters and other paranormal lovers” line.
