Great Story

I thought the 1st book was good BUT wow...this 2nd one is even better...I did not realize there was so much more that Gabriel needed to go through and he is and does and the narrator has an EXCELLENT voice for this reading - LOVE this story!!!

The first one was great

The second is a bit less
it is a must if you want to know ehat is happening but somtimes its seems that the author write less and it will be much more

I loved the romance but didnt like the dragging

Awesome Book

If you could sum up Gabriel's Rapture in three words, what would they be?

Fantastic, Awesome, Amazing.

What did you like best about this story?

The love he showed Julia.

What does John Morgan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His voice. I love listening vs reading. It was magnificent.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Too saccharin

I read these books a long time ago and decided to re-read (re-listen) to them because I saw that they made a movie of these books and wanted to reacquaint myself with the story. I enjoy the story and all the historical Dante and Italian art references, and the musical choices the characters listen too. But, I had forgotten how totally overdone and saccharin the dialogue is. It’s way over the top and really, does anyone really speak as old as this 33 y/o professor does? I do like the books but find myself skipping parts to get past some of the dialogue.

Bought/audible

For honest review. As julie Mitchell and professor Gabriel Emerson relationship takes on a new step in their futures. They also are learning more of themselves, their own challenges ,heartaches,and happiness .This is a beautiful story.

Gabriels inferno- rapture

Elegant, sensual and captivating by content and emotional display of relationships of life in general and sexuality. Tasteful presentation of sexual encounters are examples of celebration of body, erotic expression of attraction and sexual acts. Recommend to all young men and women as one of the lessons in sexuality and emotional development.

AWESOME JUST AWESOME !

l JUST LOVE THIS I'M NEVER DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS SERIES THE MOVIE IS AWESOME ALSO BUT THE BOOK IS ALWAYS BETTER!!!

LOVE IT, LOVE IT

I have read the series at least 5x and I am not exaggerating either. I love Passionflix movie too. But they are taking way too long on Gabriel's Rapture which is my best book out of all of them.

Powerfully captivating

Where does Gabriel's Rapture rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The two book series ranks at the very top. This should be made into a film....I'm sure it would rival "Gone with the Wind".

What did you like best about this story?

The personalization of the human condition, how we relate to one another. Second and even third chances to make wrongs right.

Have you listened to any of John Morgan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, Gabriel's Inferno..he is beyond awesome! Each character took on their own personality (became three dimensional), because of the way he narrated this book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

There are no words! I couldn't put it down...even lost some sleep over this one.
This is by far and away the best series I have ever read! A must read

Any additional comments?

I'll be waiting for this authors next book....I will be reading all this authors works.
This series was inspired me to read more on Dante as well. I could relate to many of the scenes in Italy having been there..it sure made me hunger to return! Very romantic!!!!!!

scorched!

Any additional comments?

I loved this book! It was so good, i listened to it all in one sitting. Some twists were unpredictable, others you knew were coming. it was worth the credit.
