Detectives Mark Ruxsberg and Chris Green are very good at their jobs. Being the enforcers for God and Day’s notorious Atlanta PD Narcotics Task Force causes the crazy duo to get into more trouble than they can often get out of. The pair never misses out on an opportunity to drive their Lieutenants crazy with their dangerous, reckless, and costly stunts, landing them in the hot seat in front God… often.
Ruxs and Green love their jobs and they don’t mind the very demanding schedule that leaves them little time for socializing or dating. It was fine with them, they enjoyed hanging out with each other anyway.
However, most of the men in their close circle of friends and colleagues are pairing off and settling down. God has Day, Ro has Johnson, and their Sergeant Syn has Furious.
For the past several years, Ruxs has only sought out the advice and company of one person, his partner and best friend Green, and vice versa. Both of these alpha males are presumed straight, but neither can deny the heat that’s building in their once ‘just friends’ relationship.
Trouble comes in the form of two of ATL’s sexy vice cops Ruxs and Green. Crazy, sexy, dangerous, reckless…all of these would describe these two and just about every cop in God and Day’s task force. I am really glad that their story is finally being told. First, get a look at that cover. I damn near licked the screen of my IPad when it was revealed. Props go out to Princess So. There were a few minor editing/spelling mishaps, but it didn’t take away my enjoyment of the story. What’s great about this book is that it’s fast out the gate. There is quite a bit of over the top macho posturing with these characters but it’s this posturing that makes this story so damn fun to read. There is a LOT of testosterone driven antics on behalf of the cops in their task force, but it’s tempered when it comes to the people they love. I especially liked the way the Via shifted the focus between her characters. Even though Rux and Green were the story’s main characters, she was able to give attention to the story’s surrounding characters while simultaneously keeping the focus on these two. I loved how she let us know that Curtis (the teenager God and Day saved in Nothing Special) turns out great, that the cops have taken him under his wing. Ruxs and Green are best friends and extremely close so the progression of their relationship to lovers was natural. There were more than a few parts in the book that made me laugh until I damn near flat lined (the one sex scene between the two…the dialog was hilarious) one minute and reaching for ice water the next. And there were some very touching moments in the book as well, it wasn’t all about them kicking through doors to take down the bad guys, having sex and talking crap. You definitely see the characters that you love from the previous two books (Syn, Ro, Johnson, and of course, God and Day). Ruxs’s mother….now that is one mother I would gladly throw from a moving train. These characters and their dialog are awesome. The men on the task force are fearless, reckless and tough as nails but underneath it all they have hearts as big as Texas. God and Day’s task force members love, respect and look out for each other like family. Even though I enjoyed this book, Syn and Furi from Embracing His Syn ( book #2 in this series) is still my favorite. A.E. Via has become my go to author when I want to read about hot, sexy, bad boy cops. I rate this book:
