Loving Gabriel by T. M. Gaouette

Summary

But when a former fling and co-star offers his assistance on her debut movie, he's a constant reminder of all the ways Tanner has messed up. Add a crazed kung fu rival, paparazzi on the prowl, and a controlling stage mom, and things get ugly fast. Can Gabriel and Tanner find truth in the chaos? Or is their newly-found romance doomed before it’s even begun?

Review

Loving Gabriel is the fourth and final book in T.M. Gaouette’s Faith and Kung Fu Series. What an enjoyable ride it has been! If you’re unfamiliar, the four books in this series center around Gabriel — a devoted son, faithful Christian, and Kung Fu champion, and Tanner Rose — the Hollywood starlet that changes Gabriel’s life forever.

This author’s strength is her ability to create memorable characters and heartfelt storylines. I’ve loved witnessing the growth in all her characters throughout the years — especially Tanner’s faith journey and her developing relationship with Gabriel. This contemporary series is full of intriguing supporting characters and situations that stay with you long after the book is finished.

Loving Gabriel takes place a few years after the events in book number three, Guarding Aaron. Reuniting with these characters was like catching up with old friends. Has Tanner been successful in her endeavor to produce Christian movies? Did Gabriel discern where God is leading him? What about all their friends and family that we’ve come to care about? I don’t want to give anything away, so will just say that all questions will be answered, and even though things might not go quite as expected, I think fans will find this to be the perfect conclusion to this fantastic series.
