Sexual harassment of female grad students is not romance. It is the betrayal of what ought to be a mentorship. This badly written male fantasy is deeply offensive and if the author knew anything about Dante he should know that the betrayal…

TW for sexual violence by an ex!!! The only reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 is because the main characters’ behavior/dialogue became kind of repetitive and even a bit annoying in the middle part of the book. Plot is great,…

Quick read. Pretty good. I would mark it up there with Fifty Shades.

Book 1 in trilogy, followed by Gabriel's Rapture and then Gabriel's Redemption. Story of Julia Mitchell, a graduate student who enrolled in Professor Gabriel Emerson's class at U of T. The two share a short but very memorable past, even…

I really feel this is better than the "50 shades" series. The romance grabs you, sometimes seeming a little over the top. The first half was outstanding. The second half seems like it was the same thing just being said a…

I don't know what the big hoopla about 50 Shades is all about. But this book is better written and far more intelligent than 50 Shades. I really Plus, it is not only about sex. It gives you more about history and literature.

How did I get here? What kind of Illusory superiority! I was trying to avoid "50 shades of Grey" and got something similar. Well, in Toronto there are a lot of handsome men professors, who are a little over 30, but they know several…

This book was on a list of '50 Shades read likes'. I really enjoyed the build up of tension between the two characters. If 50 Shades was too graphic or smutty for you then this book will probably be to your liking. I really enjoyed it! …

I absolutely loved it! It is a blistering page-turning look at what falling in love really is. I loved how Julia was able to make Gabriel look at physical love as an expression of emotional love, and not as sexual gratification. Endearing…

If you enjoyed the 50 Shades series than you'll want to read this book. In fact, I think the writing is even better. I really enjoyed the story, the characters, and I can't wait to read the next book!

I don't care what the other commentor had to say....I just loved both these books .......he had me in tears and I guess the writer has accomplished what he set out to do and that is entertaining and escaping reality.......highly recommend…

This ISN'T romance. This is misogyny wrapped up in some messed up abuse novel, disguised as romance. I couldn't find a single thing that was likeable or attractive about this character, because all he did was get pissed off, beat his…

If you like tender, sexual romance, this is the book for you. Its one of the best romantic books I've ever read.
