This is a combined review of The Syndicate volumes 1 to 3

These books tell the story of a "captain" and computer geek onboard a space ship, who fall in love with each other and in volume 3 even get married. And this is pretty much the whole plot of the series. So even if these books tell the story of a handful of characters onboard a space ship, don't expect to read about their adventures in space.

But even if the plot of this series is quite weak as a sci-fi book, the series is a very show more enjoyable m/m romance. It has two very likable main characters and very good second characters, too. In addition to that there's a lot of humor and steamy hot m/m sex. I really liked the witty and funny dialog between the characters, which made this book an enjoyable read. show less

This is the first time I have read the series by Jules Jones and Alex Woolgrave.

Allard was a computer geek with some attitude problem: he doesn't like to receive order and doesn't like to be treat like a number. So he decides to join a crew of stranger people that has made a syndacate. He will be the sysadmin.

Vaughan was the crew's engeneering and also the captain, even if he doesn't like the be call "captain". He is an hunk man with a tender heart. He likes Allard from the very first time show more and soon he manages to have him in his bed.

But Vaughan understands very well that the grudge behaviour of Allard is due to his fear of the personal relationships and he achieves to gain his trust step by step.

All the book is soffuse with an happy humor and the sex scenes are lightly and enjoyable.

I will look forward to read the next books in the series that I will go to buy soon after I finish to write this post

In this second enstallment of the adventure of Allard and Vaughan we read of the growing relationship between the two, and how this relationship become stronger.

Allard learns to overcome his fear in let his companion takes control and Vaughan become more confident that Allard will not go away from the Syndacate.

Even if this series is setting in the future, the day to day problems are the same of today: how can I trust my partner with my heart? can I surrender to him without the fear to suffer? Will he stay with me forever?

In all the reviews I have read for this series, the main aspect is the humor; instead I find that the strong factor is the romance between Allard and Vaughan: they are two adult men who choose to stay together, who are aware that their relationship is not mere sex and that they can build something together.

This short story complete The Syndicate series.

It's a funny tale about a S. Patrick Day that Allard and Vaughan pass far from their space-ship.

What I have liked is that, with the temptation to make a threesome, Allard and Vaughan choose to stay alone and to spend a romantic night on their own.

A little tender conclusion to an enjoyable series.
