I received a ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. This is my thoughts and mine alone on the book Nothing Special.Wow, where to even start. The story centers around two detectives, Cashel (God) Godfrey, and Leonidis (Day) Day. They have been partners on the force for over 4 years. During that time they have became best friends who not only trust each other on the job, they trust each other off as well. They hang out together after work, enjoy pizza and beer, watching sports on TV, whatever one does the other is usually there as well. This was a beautiful love story between 2 people who started out as partners, then onto friends and eventually onto lovers. Day feels like he knows God better than himself. The only problem with that is, unfortunately, God is keeping a secret from him. It's not so much he doesn't want him to know as it is the emotional turmoil he goes thru remembering. He is on his own, struggling to make ends meet, pay his bills, put food on his table. Day, on the other hand, lives very well. He inherited his grandmother's house and has made lots of improvements over time. Day does wonder from time to time, why God doesn't have better things, why does he live in a run down apartment. Of course, unbeknownst to Day, God has other responsibilities that he has taken on that requires quite a bit of his paycheck.This is an emotional read at times. Your heart breaks for what God has went thru in his life, but he has risen above all of that and has made a pretty nice life for himself. He doesn't go thru much that Day is not there with him, giving him support and grounding him. They are such a great couple and you are pulling for them to open their eyes and see what is right in front of them. When they do figure it out, it is like fireworks. Their passion and chemistry for each other is off the charts. A.e. Via rocks in this area. She brings two people together, who already love each other as friends, and makes them see that they not only love each other they are IN love with each other. When they come together, their passion is raw and dirty at times. You can feel the emotion pouring off of them. The author brings you in their world, into their bedroom. The tension is so thick you will find yourself holding your breath because you are so wrapped up in their lust and love they have for each other. Anytime an author can take me out of my living room and drop me in the corner of the MC's bedroom, to be a witness to such incredible passion and lovemaking, in my opinion, you couldn't ask for anything better. That is what I want from a story.There is so much more to this story than just incredible sex. There is a plot that has angst and suspense. As detectives, they have missions they must go on, bad people to arrest, and still do there job to the best of their ability so that they can come home to each other now that they know what they have together. I, also, need to mention that the secondary characters are just as wonderful as the main characters. They are included quite a bit in the story and you will learn to love them just as much.So, just to recap, if you love alpha males, very hot sex, passionate romance,, laughter, hilarious banter back and forth, suspense, then this is the story for you. A.e. Via has an incredible writing talent, one that is not like any other that I am familiar with. For me personally, I love that she has her own style, that she brings her characters together fairly quickly. She doesn't hesitate to give them free reign to love each other unconditionally. I love how she shows you can love each other from the beginning and work your problems together as a team. You don't have to wait till almost the end for them to be together and for me, I love it. I loved this story and I would recommend it highly to anyone who likes the things I mentioned earlier. To the author, A.e. Via, I would like to say, thank you for another incredible story. I hope there will be many more to come.
