Loved it. I can't wait for book 2 :-) Gabriel...so definitely swoon worthy. Gabriel a torchered soul that feels there is no redemption for his past sins. Juilanne a graduate student believes in forgiveness and must show him that he too can be forgiven and loved. Julianne however must aslo overcome a past keeps her from truly being herself and opening herself up for love. Gabriel a torchered soul is her only salvation to finally freeing herself from her past and her fears.
I truly don't know what it was about this book and why I loved it. I couldn't put it down once I picked it. It's not as steamy or graphic as other books I have read. It's really mild in my opinion for the topic and love that is portrayed. However every page I read I wanted to read more.
I loved the alternating points of view so that we could truly get a feel for both characters. I feel that it truly helped understand where both characters were coming from and how they felt about one another. Not only about one another but about themselves.
Gabrield not only feels guilty for his past he feels that he could be corrupting Julianne. Julianne only sees the good in Gabriel and knows he is the one she is meant to be with. Yet Gabriel's past is too much for him to believe he deserves any kind of love from Julianne. Julianne's past makes her believe she is not good enough for a man like Gabriel. They both struggle with their feelings with one another. Throughout the story we see how love can save the most torchered soul and free another. So long as they both can forgive themselves and move on.
I can't give you any plot details because it would ruin the story. All I can say is that I loved it and hope you put this on your to be read list. Thank you to the author for writing this wonderful book. I truly can't wait until book 2 comes out. I can't believe I had this book for months before I read it

Took me a few chapters to get caught in the web....but then I was and couldn't put it down
Disappointing. Story is too familiar. She's a timid virgin who's been abused. He's an uptight prick who treat his students like dirt, but has a dark sexual side. Didn't feel any real connection to main characters. The focus on past issues (sins, vices) repeating over & over only drags the story out. Its pretty clear what's going to happen when she pulls away from Paul, but its going to take another 200 pages to get there.
I got halfway through this book & closed it, then posted it. Booooorrriiinngg. Oh, the drama - and the melodrama!
It could very well be made into one of those cheesey telenovellas on tv. The repetitiveness was really annoying - like the author had to repeat herself several times because she thought you wouldn't understand it the first time. Don't waste your time.

I was looking for something different to read. The cover alone attracted me to it along with the title and authors unusual name. I started reading the back cover and was hooked. I bought it went home and read it in two days. Being an innocent young teenager that fell in love with her friend Rachel's brother who may I add is 10 years older..years later she ends up at the college he is teaching at and in his class..He doesn't even know who she is..but he treats her so badly...her only friend Paul who is also in that class definitely has feelings for her..He is a great friend..anyways to make a long story short...When he finally realizes that she was not a dream all those years ago....He refuses to let her go..He has A VERY interesting sinful past...she is so innocent and pure...someone who can turn the professors darkness into light..they have to keep their relationship a secret due to the policies at the school with students and professors..I like that he is a dante specialist and that is why Julia decided she wanted to study it...towards the end when these two finally go all the way and she gives the professor her virginity. ..If you read this trilogy by this author you will not be disappointed. ..This book is not dirty..it is about how through sin their is always redemption...This is such a beautiful story...I love how these books are written...I have read this trilogy so much my books need to be replaced soon...
