BLURB:

Weston “Major” Marian:
After running away at the age of seventeen, I found a home in the Army. It wasn’t long before my fellow soldiers became family, giving purpose to my time in Vietnam.

But everything changes when Doc Wilde joins my medevac crew. A night alone in the jungle after a helicopter crash forces us to rely on each other for survival, the secrets we share cementing a bond between us deeper than any I’ve ever known.

Doc begins to play a starring role in my late night fantasies even though he can never be anything more than a friend, a brother-in-arms. He’s straight, with family back in Texas, and I could kiss my career goodbye if anyone in the Army discovered my secret.

When our tours finally end, and we go our separate ways, Doc heads home to his perfect family while I continue to serve. I thought that was the end of our story. Turns out I was wrong.

Liam “Doc” Wilde:
When I wind up on the front lines in Vietnam young and afraid, it’s Major Marian who comes to my rescue. He’s tough, brave, and quiet, and he vows to keep me safe. He’s the only reason I make it home alive.

For some, a friendship like ours might have ended once we left the jungle behind, but life without Major Marian isn’t an option. Over time, our connection continues to grow. It’s no surprise when, years later, an unexpected illness turns my life upside down, he’s the first person I turn to for help.
And, as always, he drops everything to rescue me.

I soon realize that at every step of my life, Major has been there, by my side, putting me first. All this time he’s been standing in the sidelines, waiting patiently to hand over his heart into my safekeeping.

Even though I never imagined building a future with another man, seeing Major in this new light is a revelation. And suddenly I can’t imagine my life any other way

REVIEW:

Oh Wow can I just take a minute and just sit here….

You know as much as I adore everything Lucy Lennox has written I was hesitant to for this one but I can honestly say this novel blew me away.

There are moments of shock and of sadness but most of all there are emotions all over the place, the most significant one being love. Love between friends, love between family, between parents and their children and more.

To the point that so much pure and honest love will leave you humble, speechless and tearful.

In simple words this story is more than Wes & Liam, (or Major & Doc). This is the tale about two men in a war, about struggling with identities, about putting someone else before yourself, putting the person you love first no matter what the consequences might be for yourself. Realising that just being near someone is enough when it isn’t the time or place for anything else. About family and platonic love and all-consuming love, about caring so much for another person that you will easily put aside your own everything.

These men, the parents, Betsy and the children…they all have their own part in Major and Doc’s story (Pop and Grandpa) they have their own place in their life and their story and you cannot ask for anything more.

If you are looking for a sum up of this story I am not going to provide you with that because to me this story is about emotions, how it was written (heartfelt) and how reading it made me feel.

And with how much I adore the Marian series and like the Wilde series, which is a lot, this masterpiece might be the best so far in Miss Lennox’s writing career and that is saying something.

Just a moment to focus on the ending and no I am not talking about the epilogue, which is hilarious, but the ending of the story itself. I might have had to hide during my break as I was finishing reading it because  I was tearing up…just saying.

If I could give out 6 hearts I would for this story.
