Gabriel

by Teiran Smith, Virtual Voice (Narrator)

After a decade-long absence, newly divorced Ginny Cipriano returns to her hometown and her motorcycle club family to reclaim her life and start anew. But her plans are quickly thwarted when she becomes a primary target of a savage rival MC known for the carnage it leaves in its wake. Taking swift action to keep her safe, Ginny’s uncle, the VP of Double H, has her whisked away to safety and assigns her first love, Gabriel, as her protector.

Ever defiant, Ginny was never particularly good at adhering to club life and the expectations of an MC Princess. Still outspoken and stubborn as hell, she refuses to live by anyone’s rules. Sequestered against her will in Nowhere, USA, with her former lover as her only source of comfort, Ginny is confronted with a startling truth—she never stopped caring for Gabriel. Certain he doesn’t feel the same, she conceals her feelings until a shocking turn of events leads him to reveal she is his endgame. Gabriel knew she would return one day, and when she did, he planned to stake his claim.

Throwing caution to the wind, the two pick up where they left off ten years earlier, as madly in love as ever and making big plans for their future. But like everything in club life, danger and obstacles greet them at every turn. When the club President forces them to press pause on their passionate reunion, another threat is made against Ginny’s life. But this time, Gabriel can’t be by her side to keep her safe.

While emotions run high, Ginny stumbles across a devastating, life-altering secret that everyone, including Gabriel, has withheld from her. Now she is left wondering who she can trust.

Gabriel is book 3 in the Double H Romance Series but can be read as a standalone romance as each book tells the story of a different character.

This is another safe MC book, but there is no tension between the H and the h. The second she shows up in town, he makes it clear that he’s in love with her and is going to get back together with her. The OW drama is perfunctory. The external drama might be interesting except for the fact that it’s a carryover from a previous book, and there’s just too much detail that fails to catch the interest.

I still like this author, but I think this particular book lacked vitality.

[Grinning Cat · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is all that is the best of the MC Romance genre. First of all, the characters are all well-drawn and realistic. I really felt for Ginny and what she was going through. And the Hero, Gabriel is delicious. Secondary characters are dimensional too. Second, lots of action kept the story moving. The book kept me engaged as Ginny and Gabriel found their way back to each other. This delightful book is going in my Favorites collection. Romance lovers, this book has an HEA and no cheating. Spicy sex scenes included. If you like MC Romance, I highly recommend. I received an advance review copy for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.

Oh, holy crap! Gabriel and Ginnys story is full of passion. It allows you to become one with the characters and you feel as if you are in the story. Great writing, I must say. This was so good with great flow. It does give you a history of the MC and the family and brotherhood explained introducing other characters to come. I really enjoyed this story! it kept me on the edge and made me anxious in some parts. Very well written!

What a great book. I have never read anything by this author before but now I want to read the whole series. She grabbed my attention in the early pages and I never could put the book down. Lots of things around my house did not get done. Ginny and Gabriel have a wonderful love story. The book is more than just a love story though. There’s a lot of action, intrigue, and drama not related to their love. I like that it was multi faceted both in plot and characters. I really enjoyed the book, and I recommend it.🔥🔥🔥

So many ups and downs in this story! Watching Ginny and Gabriel get a second chance after many years apart was quite the journey. I enjoyed the fast pace of many of the MC issues and really liked some of the additional twists along the way. Themes of family, truth, safety, and of course true love made this a story worth reading.

This is the 3rd book in the Double H series and it gives us Ginny and Gabriel's story which is a second chance romance. Ginny was never any good with the expectations that were part of being an MC princess she was stubborn and outspoken and didn't want to live by anyone else's rules. After being gone for 10yrs and going through a divorce she decides to return to her hometown for a fresh start with the MC and in her life. Before she can get comfortable her uncle who's the club VP finds out that she's being targeted by a vicious rival MC he wastes no time having Ginny sent away to keep her safe and he assigns Gabriel to protect her. The same Gabriel that she used to be in love with and the same Gabriel that's been waiting for her to return. I don't want to say anymore and ruin it for anyone else with spoilers. You really need to read this book to see what happens if they'll get their second chance.

Great storyline and character development made this book a hot and enjoyable read! I could not put it down it was that good!

[Bernie · Rating 5 out of 5]

fabulous read
This is a longer novel, full of drama, happy times and unhappiness, revelations, secrets, lies and threats, past history and future promises. The author keeps the reader interested throughout the book as nothing drags, moving on from one event to another quickly but without haste so as to be confusing..a lot going on.
Ginny, following the breakdown of her marriage to a controlling husband returns home, to the MC she grew up in, but determined to be in full control of her life and not be underestimated or undermined by a man. Gabriel has been waiting for her to return and is determined not to let her go again. MC life intervenes, danger is imminent and not just from a rival club, but from those in and around their own club as things develop and relationships take the strain.

I have read the previous 2 books in this series, enjoyed the stories but think this book is even better.

Gabriel was a fantastic read! The characters are wonderful. Ginny and jGabriel really are soulmates and true love finds a way.

This story had so much action and so many twists and turns. I saw none of them coming. And I never felt like the author was forcing them! This story kept me enthralled and I finished it in one sitting!

Content warning: Ginny was in an emotionally abusive marriage and her relationship with her mother was also emotionally abusive. The author takes good care of Ginny, and we don't get too detailed. The book starts with Ginny's divorce, but she recalls things from the past. If you are sensitive to these things, read with care or skip this one.

I love a good motorcycle club book and this book definitely showed how much these clubs are like family!

Ginny has just moved back to Hansy, Michigan where she was born and raised. And welcomed by her Aunt and Uncle as well as the rest of the Double H Motorcycle Club. Which includes her ex, Gabriel. But just as she's getting settled, Ginny finds the club is at war with another and she's in the middle of it.

So Gabriel takes it upon himself to be Ginny's protector, especially when they have to run. But the tension is still there between them and it isn't long before they get back together. But nothing can be this easy and when they return home it's one bombshell after another against them.

Ginny and Gabriel get their happy ending in this stand-alone book in a series.

I really loved how much Gabriel knew Ginny would come back for him, therefore not dating while she was gone and married to another. And their nickname of G for each other was super cute and sweet as they could both use it. One thing that was a bit off about this book was the rushed ending. I was a 96% and wondering if the book could wrap up with so much left out there. But a quick epilogue and not looking too hard a what went down fixed that.

Gabriel is a second chance romance between Ginnifer and her MC ex-boyfriend, Gabriel. Told from Ginnifer's point of view, the story starts as a recently divorced Ginny returns to her hometown of Halsey, Michigan. Ginny and Gabriel had apparently had an epic love story that ended 10 years prior.

This story had lots of heat. A bout of forced proximity is the impetus for the two main characters to face their feelings and rekindle their love. It's obvious that the two feel strongly for each other and readers will definitely root for them.

This book is only 3 stars for me because there were a few things that didn't do it for me.

*There's a major plot point that is a source of conflict for the characters that never gets resolved. It just gets dropped at the end.

*There seemed to be a large number of conflicts for the characters that came out of nowhere.

*Grammatical errors were hard to overlook due to frequency.

*Ginny was really selfish and annoying sometimes.

While this book didn't necessarily do it for me, if you are looking for an MC book, this one could be for you.

[Krystinna Collett · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have mixed feelings about this book. I will say it was written well, with strong MC characters. These characters were really understanding towards people. They did not act like a typical MC in some ways.

Gabriel is the new SAA in the club. He is strong, compassionate, and completely devoted to Ginny. I had a very hard time liking Ginny in this book. She is whiney, has a past that she continues to talk about over, and over, and over, while remaining immature.

I did finish this book, but it took me several days of coming back to it to do so. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

[Lynn Stifle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I so enjoyed this book! After her divorce and being away for years, Ginny is back home with her family and MC. When trouble arises, she’s sent away, and protected by Gabriel, her ex and the man she never stopped caring for. Gabriel has been waiting for Ginny’s return, and now that she has, he plans to stake his claim. I loved Ginny and Gabriel and I loved their connection. As this was my first read by this author, I was hesitant going in, but was so pleasantly surprised, and I can’t wait to read the next one.

Received as an ARC and leaving my honest review. This book took my emotions on a roller coaster… it felt like both Ginny and Gabriel just couldn't get a break and anything and everything was against them finding happiness together! There were a lot of twists I didn't see coming so I was on the edge of my seat trying to guess what next. The plot was exciting and the second chance romance was hot and sizzling; the pacing was great until the ending which felt a little rushed… felt it would have worked better with one more chapter to wrap things up and tie up loose ends before the epilogue. But overall it was a really enjoyable read!

[Sue · Rating 5 out of 5]

The stage is set in the first page when the heroine talks of the build up of emotions leading to her divorce and her freedom now she has it. She has returned to her family and with it the twists and turns of MC life. She and her first love reconnect. It is an emotional, at times fraught, intense story and more than one secret comes to light.

This is a well written story, with believable characters and a happy ever after ending.

This book… wow! Phenomenal! This had me on edge. I love how the characters are so protective over each other and you feel the love and the sense of family throughout the whole book. I believe Teiran Smith did a wonderful job. She brought the drama, some comedy, action, and romance all in one novel. Bravo!

[Maritza · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is my kind of romance. Gabriel and Ginny were destined to be. I love tough men who are not afraid to show vulnerability, loyalty and love. Ginny was tough and there were times I wanted to tell her to take a break and cool it. I really enjoyed this and want to read more in the series. Thank you for providing me with a free ARC. All views are my own and freely given.

This was my favorite book in the series. Only complaint is I wish we could’ve been brought on the after hospital journey as he regains memory.
