I've been meaning to catch up on (binge-read) the rest of Romeo Alexander's works for a while now. I just realized that most of the Men of Fort Dale novels are relatively short, so here's to binge-ing. "Here We Go Again" is the third book in the series
["A second chance to make up for the mistakes of the past. A second chance at love.
Troy: I’ve settled in at Fort Dale with a great job at the clinic on base and I’ve even made a few friends. The nearby city offers all I need to enjoy myself on a night off, if you know what I mean. I was just starting to relax and think everything would work out when he walked into the clinic. Oscar Reyes, the man I fell in love with six years ago and who walked out on me because he couldn’t handle the thought of being out. I never thought I’d see him again, and now he’s here, tossing everything I thought I knew on its head.
Oscar: There aren’t many things in life that throw me off. Despite a bit of a temper, I deal with things quite well. The IED that took my arm, and left me with a permanent limp was hard, but after six months, I’m managing. Well, I was. Until I ran into Troy again. Just seeing him was enough to realize six years wasn’t long enough to kill my feelings. When I walked away, it seemed right at the time and my reasons haven’t changed. This time I’m determined to stand by that decision. Until I went and kissed him.
Oscar and Troy would have sworn six years was enough to make them forget. It wasn’t. When both men find themselves stationed at Fort Dale, staying away from each other suddenly seems impossible. Nothing has changed, including their feelings, it seems. But is it enough?"]
When I first read the blurb, my immediate thought was "my poor sweet sassy Troy!" When I got to know Oscar, my thoughts moved to "and my poor sweet sassy grumpy Oscar!"
They were meant to be, two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly, two souls finally reunited. It sucks that life through so many wrenches in their lives, but without those, they wouldn't have made it back to each other (and in the right place, time, frame-of-mind to finally be together).
And as I say "my poor boys" in my head again.. YES, I do realize they are grown (fictional) men who are whole-ass soldiers. They can still be "my poor boys."
Trigger Warnings: war, war-zone, violence, major injuries, PTSD, and more.
