Moving Maverick (Made Marian #5)

I want to be a part of this fucking family!!!
Sorry, I guess I need to back up a bit...

The Made Marian Series by Lucy Lennox. It's a series of M/M novels that are all connected by the Marian Family. Each book gives another Marian brother a forever love. And god, I could barely get enough.

The fifth book is called "Moving Maverick"

["“Do you remember what you promised?”

Maverick: I haven't been back to Rabbit Island, South Carolina, since my parents died and my grandmother, Mimi, rejected me. I'm only returning now to attend her funeral and sell an estate I never wanted. But the moment I step foot on the island and fall into Beau’s arms, I realize it might not be so easy to say goodbye after all.

Beau Talmadge was always the boy next door, but now he’s no longer a kid. The man is hot as hell and pushes all my buttons in the very best way. I'm supposed to leave in a week. Sell everything, close the door on my past, and walk away forever. So why am I letting myself fall for someone who lives thousands of miles away? And how the hell am I going to break it off when it's time to go?

“That I’d come back.”

Beau: It took one short summer to fall in love with Maverick Mitchell and fifteen long years to forget him when he left. I’d never expected to see him again, but when he shows up at Mimi’s funeral looking lost and lonely I can’t resist doing anything I can to comfort him. Falling into bed with Maverick is easy and the nights we spend together are as hot and steamy as a South Carolina thunderstorm.

I know it's not smart. I know it's not what he planned. But dammit, Mav belongs in my arms, in my bed, and in my life. So how the hell do I get him to stay?

“Took you long enough.”

Fair warning: Moving Maverick is a 73k word gay romance novel featuring sweet tea vodka, fancy salt and pepper shakers, guys catching crabs (not that kind), Aunt Tilly with a knife, "]

And a gun... Yeah. Aunt Tilly, Granny, and Irene with a fucking gun. You heard me right.

I loved this book. One of my favorites in the series. But I read it soooo fuuuucking faaaast to get to Aunt Tilly. Worth it.

And the one-that-got-away, long-lost-love, best-friends-forever kind of romance that this book centered around?? Fucking glorious! So fucking amazing. I fucking LOVED it. They were one of my favorite couples.

In addition to the total lack of toxic masculinity when it comes to showing emotions? God, I loved it.

Spoiler Alert/Trigger Warning, though I saw it coming, a animal does pass away in this book (from old age, if that helps).
