really enjoy Mr. Grey's books so much.  Crossing Divides is a M/M story that  takes place in war torn Syria.  A print reporter Carson is embedded with a band of freedom fighters led by two brothers.  Obviously it is a a scary place bullets whizzing by their heads.  In the fight the three become as close as family.  Carson was welcomed back to the family enclave as heroes.  The youngest brother Nemat is attracted to Carson.In the name of family honor, if the attraction is discovered both men could be killed.I can't imagine knowing in ones soul that they are attracted to the same sex and you family would rather you were dead than to be your true self without fear.  It breaks my heart know that many of our precious gay youth face such brutality in their homes for being true to themselves  As we now know what the despicable Syrian government did to its own people innocents women, children and men.  Crimes against humanity.  shameful.  Carson is able to get back to the states and write his story.i couldn't imagine leaving  a loved one behind knowing the truth of what is happening in the country he left a loved one behind in.  Carson requests to go back for more story and is able to find the brothers again.  Things are different sadly so.  Carson and Nemat are reacquainted.  More atrocities are discovered and obviously Carson needs to leave heartbreakingly so I couldn't imagine having to leave a man behind you've fallen in love with.  Mr. Grey is so good at writing about young new love.  Which is always so exciting.  As news and evidence of the chemical warfare makes back to the family compound.  The family faces a quandary.  Do they try to get someone out with Carson or do they stay and fight a losing battle?  Hearts all a flutter does love win? oh please….  Another Well done book I am a huge fan of Mr. Grey's books and proudly can say I love them all and have them on my Kindle and reread many  many times.
