Embracing His Syn by A.E. Via

5.0

This book was awesome! It makes more sense if read after 'Nothing Special', but that isn't strictly necessary, though I'd personally recommend it.

Plot: A cop coming to terms with his sexuality and a man running away from his abusive husband. Both were dealt with well and neither was angsty to an extreme - they have hurdles, but these hurdles are overcome with a realistic amount of difficulty.

Characters: Syn was awesome and completely badass!!
Spoiler (as shown in the first couple of chapters)
He has an issue with his sexuality, but he deals with it pretty maturely, probably because of the camaraderie within his unit at work. It clearly gives him confidence to treat Furi properly.
Furi has had a crap time of it, but has put himself back on track, using what he needs to to achieve his dream. It may not be something he likes (aka the online porn), but he does what he has to because he wants his own automotive company with Doug. It's admirable, and whilst his past makes him wary of Syn to begin with, once he realises that Syn is a great guy, he jumps in with his whole heart. Both characters are very likeable and you want them to end up happily together!

Sex: Very, very, very hot and both characters are versatile, which is something I particularly liked!

I thoroughly recommend this book because I adored it - go and read!
