While dealing with the recently-revealed secrets from her past that came to light in My Way Home: Volume I of the St. Gabriel Series, in Volume II, Sweet Gabriel, Cammy Coleman prepares for her second winter and season on St. Gabriel Island. She enjoys discovering island traditions, and shares them in a way that gives readers the experience of living life in a place with the pace and feel of years gone by.

But as Cammy begins getting answers about her past, new secrets surface that could impact the entire community. Embarking on a 'puzzlepalooza' to uncover a mysterious truth about St. Gabriel, Cammy learns surprising truths about herself and her family and friends along the way.

Told once again in Cammy's quirky, journal-like style, Sweet Gabriel delves into her inner-most thoughts about love, parenting, and life. She also describes in scrumptious detail her love of decorating, food, gardening, inn keeping and more.

This second installment of the St. Gabriel series includes a bonus in an extended Prologue that gives readers a peek into Cammy’s past, as told from both her and Race Coleman’s perspectives. For readers who enjoyed being privy to the private details of their relationship in My Way Home, this bonus material will be satisfying and revealing in its depth and candor.

Delightfully crafted by author Cynthia Lee Cartier, Sweet Gabriel is a gripping, fun, and fulfilling story. An excellent blend of mystery, suspense, humor and romance, Sweet Gabriel and the St. Gabriel series are challenging to try and fit into a single genre. Join Cammy Coleman as she continues her heartfelt journey of tears, laughter, discovery and self-reflection that has left so many readers eagerly anticipating future additions to the St. Gabriel series.

Cynthia was born in Los Angeles and raised in northern California and Arizona. Her early life in California, living across the street from a vineyard, working in her father's large vegetable garden, and growing up around a menagerie of animals--dogs, cats, chickens, a horse, a cow, and a very surly goat--infused Cynthia with a love of country life and of watching things grow.

Cynthia has had stories popping into her head as long as she can remember. She imagined her first story when she was five and later, at the ripe old age of eight, wrote it down and still thinks the story is tellable. While in school and then while raising a family Cynthia continued to write.

My Way Home, the first in the St. Gabriel series, was not the first novel Cynthia wrote, but it was the first to be published. The story and characters have captured the hearts of readers who eagerly await additions to the St. Gabriel series; she's currently finishing the long awaited Vol. III. Her novel, WINGS, has delighted readers as well. Through the fictional story, they learn about the Women Airforce Pilots of WWII. Laughing and shedding tears with Liddy Hall and her diverse group of female pilot friends, readers have said they couldn't put the book down and were sad when it was over.

In addition to novels, Cynthia has also written animation and live-action scripts, as well as children's stories. A grateful mother and grandmother, Cynthia lives in Colorado where she enjoys exploring the mountains and spending time with her family and friends. She also loves to garden, cook, and travel, especially to her very favorite Island.

5.0 out of 5 stars St. Gabriel Book 2 Is a Winner!
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2014
Verified Purchase
I'm in love with the people of St. Gabriel and the island itself. I feel like I know them, and the town, and the inn - it's a world that's real to me after reading both St. Gabriel books. I'm extremely particular about the books I read and reject 9 out of 10 of the low-cost or free books I download. I'm so very glad to have found the first St. Gabriel book on sale, because I feel I've truly discovered a treasure in writer Cynthia Lee Cartier - her prose is lovely, her characters believable, her books engaging and entertaining. Lovely, sweet, and memorable, the St. Gabriel series will stay with me - and PLEASE, Ms. Cartier, write the third book soon! I'm already missing my friend in St. Gabe.

4.0 out of 5 stars A visit with old friends
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2014

First of all, if you're reading this review to determine if you should read the second book in the series, by all means do - but ignore the author's suggestion, given in the beginning of the book, that you can skip the first five chapters. You shouldn't - they're full of information missing from the first book about Cam and Race's relationship. However, these chapter are why I'm giving the book four and not five stars. They were a little too preachy for my taste, pontificating on the subject of marriage with the earnestness of Dr. Phil at his worst. So read the book, read the extended prologue and who knows? You might enjoy it more than I did.

As for the rest of the book, old secrets are revealed, the past explained and the future looking like a definite third book is possible. The past was just a little confusing, but it doesn't matter much. The important things are clear and the book wonderful, like a visit with old friends who we only get to see once every few years and look forward to the next visit whenever we think of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this Sequel!
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2013

I loved the first book in this series My Way Home, and loved how it ended, but I wanted more. I didn't want the story to be over, so I was excited when I learned that this was going to be a series!

It had been awhile since I read MWH and I wasn't sure if I should read the first one again, but the author did a great job of recapping. The prologue was different than anything I had ever seen, but I loved it and it really helped to refresh my memory about the first book.

Like any sequel, I wondered if this book would be as good as the first, but it really over-delivered! I loved being taken back to St. Gabriel Island. The main character, Cammy, isn't perfect, which I think is why it's so much fun to read what she's thinking and feeling and how she reacts to things. I love reading about how she navigates so many common challenges, like being a mother and a wife and dealing with everyday life. It's so honest, interesting and sometimes really funny.

I can't wait for the third book to come out! Until then, I'm going to read both books again, one after the other. Thanks again, Cynthia Lee Cartier, I love being in the world you've created

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Gabriel review
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2014

Another win! I usually race through books, skimming over the details, to get through the plot. Not so with these books. I savor each detail, wishing I could live on that island, becoming acquainted with these charming people. I loved that the stories just kept tumbling out, allowing me to be a part of that world for awhile. It was like a lovely vacation, reading this book. The only negative thing was the actual panic I felt when the book was winding down! Thank you for sharing your imaginative talent. Please please please continue the series!

5.0 out of 5 stars The icing on the cake
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2013

I read My Way Home several years ago, and have anxiously been waiting for the sequel. Sweet Gabriel did not disappoint, the way so many sequels do. I loved the way it brought out some of the events from the past that were mentioned in My Way Home. And the twist of a bit of mystery that was added in this book was just the icing on the cake. I hope another sequel will follow soon. Thanks Cynthia for your colorful and well developed characters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the read.
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2016

I liked this book but not as much as the first one in the series. There is a bit of mystery involved and introduction of some new characters. Felt that there were a few too many things going on that weren't necessary to the story. Overall it was good and I'm glad that I read it and that there was some closure in the second book from questions in the first.

5.0 out of 5 stars a fitting follow through!
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2014

The story goes on from the point it stopped in the first book. It is written in a easy flowing style and again written with sensitivity and a mature understanding of human nature coupled with a refreshing approach to style and grace of thinking and a much appreciated dose of sense of duty, morals and principles which is really refreshing and in no way preachy. The author writes with a healthy attitude towards what now are referred to as old fashioned mores and attitudes which is so very refreshing after the modern suggestive twaddle one comes across nowadays. I wish I knew the author personally! I am sure it would be a lovely friendship.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much preaching and busybody poking by Cammy
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2021
Verified Purchase
2.5- 3 stars. This story picks up from the previous book with Cammy having been given some revelations about her past previously and now she wants to investigate further. In the process, she also comes across some other questions and mysteries that are begging for answers. Since Cammy is now moving past middle age, she is reflecting quite a bit and thankful for all the blessings in her life, but at the same time, she comes off rather preachy and somewhat of a busybody. When it comes to her daughter Janie, she and Race seem judgmental at times even though Janie is a grown adult and while I understand that parents want the best for their children, Cammy's ramblings were also off-putting. This book mostly reads like a blog or journal of a grandmother's Pinterest projects with bits of inspired or religious mottos throughout because Cammy has an opinion on everything and injects herself into the middle of any kind of potential drama. This wound up dragging in many portions of the book as a result.
