The Roman: Florentine Series, Book 3

The best book Reynard has written is still for me Gabriel's Inferno but this series is very very good.The 2nd book of Gabriel's went to religion fast and furious. It was a hard change for me to adjust to. But the 3rd eased off and I do love that trilogy.This series is more balanced. William and Raven are wondrous characters just a tiny bit down from Gabriel and Julia.I am a devout atheist and I still love all Reynard's books - that is good writing. I only have The Man in Black Suit left to read, hopefully Sylvain will be publishing more soon. I will read whatever she writes.

Loved this story of William and Raven. Well written and so easy to stay engrossed. Hard to put down once you start. We all want a William in out lives.

Loved it! Couldn’t put it down!!

Once upon a time a Canadian author invited us to join him in a very exciting, but dangerous journey, to a world created by his fantastic imagination. We packed our bags, and on January 15, 2015, we visited for the first time the Underworld of the city of Florence in "The Prince.". Little we knew then what Sylvain Reynard had in mind for us because, as he mentioned the day of the book release, it was all part of the plan. He always knew how he wanted William and Raven’s story to end. And I can’t feel any happier of the conclusion of their story in The Roman.If you want to know what “the plan” was all along, you will have to read The Roman! For those who haven’t read the Florentine Series, now’s the time! Ask Santa to get you all the books, and witness the powerful and transcendent love story of the most improbable lovers. Two lovers who found in each other hope. Their differences only complimented each other to become a better version of themselves. Raven and William are soulmates, and their love is breathtakingly and beautifully penned through the whole Florentine Series.No matter if you’re a new reader, or you’ve been reading his stories for a while, I believe we all agree: Sylvain Reynard never disappoints. After seven books, I think it's safe to say his writing style drags you into a magical and unforgettable world. A world that, once you get to experience, you don't want to let go. As always, in “The Roman,” you'll end up wanting more. Will it always be this way? Always wanting more of these fascinating stories? I believe so.I also believe there’s more to say in this story. Our hero and heroine deserve more, and we definitely aren’t ready to let them go. Raven starts a new journey at the end of the book that I’d love see in more detail and be part of it. I love character growth because we can learn so much from it. And in SR’s hands, we can rest assured, we’ll find the wisdom and hope that sometimes we so desperately look for. Thus, I’m really hoping for a fourth book in the future.The Roman is a fast-paced story full of action, angst, betrayal, sacrifice, unconditional and powerful love, a burning passion, renewed hope and redemption. Unexpected plot twists will surprise you here and there. Every word, every scene, takes you into an emotional roller coaster so deep, that it’ll get under your skin like a tattoo and stay in your mind like an indelible mark. You'll never be the same after reading stories as profound as Sylvain Reynard's. His poetic and flawless writing style is pure delight to all your senses. The character's development through the series is simply moving and incredibly well-developed. William is the lover we all dream for, and Raven deserves someone like William, someone who admires and worships her as he does. His Cassita will fly in so many ways, and his love for her will spread her wings to soar. William’s love for Raven will break your defenses, too. It’s inevitable to not fall for William York. But life isn’t perfect, and to live a love like this has a price to pay … Will they be willing to defend their love against all odds?We, at Noches en Florencia FP, knew we had to be part of the book reviewers for the last book in The Florentine Series. We want to tell everyone, especially the Spanish reading community, that without a doubt, this series is a wonderful read as is the Gabriel Series. You won't want to miss it! If you're bilingual and you haven't read the whole series, do it now. Don't wait any longer!From all SR's books in both series, in my opinion this is his best work so far. Simply fascinating. My admiration and most sincere congratulations to Sylvain Reynard. I'm in awe and completely blown away by this story. Raven and William will always be part of me. #YoSoyRaven #TheShadowenEspañol #TheRomanenEspañolI give The Roman a gazillion stars. This story is simply perfection. Another masterpiece.

The Roman by Sylvain ReynardSynopsisRaven and her sister, Cara, are at the mercy of a small detachment of Florentine vampyres, who are delivering them as a peace offering to the feared Curia in Rome. Though she's unsure William survived the coup that toppled his principality, Raven is determined to protect her sister at all costs, even if it means challenging Borek, the commander of the detachment. In an effort to keep Raven from falling into the hands of his enemies, William puts himself at the mercy of the Roman, the dangerous and mysterious vampyre king of Italy. But the Roman is not what he expects . . . Alliances and enmities will shift and merge as William struggles to save the woman he loves and his principality, without plunging the vampyre population into a world war.

The final instalment of this fantastic trilogy and prelude to this storyline. Vampires, History, Intrigue, Romance, Love,murder mystery and so, so much more. Raven is such a wonderful brave heroine, and William, Prince of Florence, such a desirable alpha hero. The ending I just didn't see coming. How lovely to meet Emerson and Julie again too. Now the story has concluded, what else is this fabulous author going to astound us with.? Another fantastic documented tale like this I hope. If the reader of this summary has not read any of his books. Ask yourself why? You have missed a great experience , one I guarantee you are bound to enjoy if like any of the above mentioned topics.

This was an eagerly awaited read for me, after reading the previous books I wanted to see where the author was going with the story. I was not disappointed. William and Raven have to battle for their love and as in every good story they win, after fighting treachery and betrayal. This is all intermingled against the backdrop of Florence, with all it's art and culture that draw you in as if you were there.I can't wait to see what this author has for us next. I have loved all of his books and will eagerly be awaiting another offering from this author.

Brilliant ending to the series, also really loved the closure the Emerson's got too. Gripping story throughout, twists and turns, didn't see trending coming. Another excellent book by Sylvain Reynard!!

Disappointed in this long awaited final instalment. Was expecting so much more . I have loved all the books written by sylvain reynard. The ending was weak and nt fitting for the rest of the series. But you have to read this if you read all the others. Such a shame could have been so much more .

An amazing end to a very beautiful series. Sylvain has managed to enthral me yet again with stunning word and an absolutely amazing story. Raven and William find themselves in dire straits and need a miracle to help get there HEA ...... with the Curera and The Roman against them it's looking unlikely!!! .
