In a connected universe with Lucy Lennox's Made Marian series, is the Forever Wilde series (also by Lucy).
Forever Wilde Book Six: "Wilde Love"...
["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.
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."]
The story that started it all: Weston and Liam, Marian and Wilde, Grandpa and Doc
HOLY FUCKING SHIRT-BALLS!! THIS BOOK!
This book was beautiful and authentic and just plain ruined me. It was so viscerally honest and fluffy and angsty and GOD! I wanted to read it again as soon as I finished it. Even just the Nam stuff and the pre-relationship stuff because OH MY GOD! It's just so obvious and ... I can't. I just can't.
It was a little rough reading some of the war stuff (war movies really get to me emotionally, especially Vietnam and WWI/II stuff), but it wasn't super graphic. Yes, there was gun-fire and explosions and death (lots of death), but it wasn't anything too harsh (watching Grey's Anatomy is harder than reading this).
READ THIS FUCKING BOOK, Y'ALL (but I mean, you really, really, really need to start at the beginning and to start at the beginning, you really need to read the #MadeMarian series first so...do that, m'kay?)
