Review: Nothing Special is in fact Extremely Special
Rating: 5 out of 5

I have referred to A E Via before as the princess of the M/M gay erotic genre and this book confirms that title.  If I could, I would be giving this book 6 stars (but Amazon limits us to 5) so on my own personal scale of 1-10 (ten being the best), I would give this book a 15. The two principal characters, Leo Day and Cashel Godfrey (God) are an incredibly fascinating couple, both tough no nonsense detectives and deeply in love sensitive guys despite God's outward gruff acting persona.  The two other characters who play a very important part in this story, Ro (Ronowski) and Johnson are also very interesting and eventually lovable despite Ro's apparent homophobia.  The book does a great job of combining two love stories with an exciting and dangerous police procedural as well as revealing some very dark secrets that shape the character of God.  I find it hard to believe that several reviewers thought that the book should have ended 2/3rds of the way through.  Personally, I am tired of reading books that end abruptly when the two principal characters acknowledge their love and any dangerous situation is resolved.  It appears that these reviewers are once again prudes who were offended by the superbly super hot foursome and the HEA for God and his family.  Really, prudes should be reading a totally different genre of book, perhaps fairy tales. I applaud AE for continuing the book past the point where other authors would have ended, giving us more insight into both couples lives and of course providing one of the hottest scenes ever written in this genre. I truly hope that AE will write another sequel to this book to continue following these two couples and the stories that working in the narcotics division inevitably occur.
