Cedar Falls #17

Bootilicious

Rate this book
Von dem Moment an, als der ehemalige SAS-Offizier Vicar Hunt den früheren Delta Force-Offizier Lucian Frost trifft, können sie die sofortige Anziehungskraft zwischen ihnen nicht leugnen. Nun, Lucian will sie nicht leugnen – Vicar hingegen will so weit wie möglich in die entgegengesetzte Richtung rennen. Nach dem, was er erlebt hat, jemals zu denken, dass er sich in die Gesellschaft anderer einfügen könnte, erscheint ihm töricht. Es ist ein Fehler, den er nie wieder begehen wird, wenn er nur in die Sicherheit seines Zuhauses gelangen kann.

Lucian starrt dem hübschen Kerl hinterher, der aus seinem Laden Stiefelgastisch rennt, als wären ihm die Höllenhunde auf den Fersen. Bis zu diesem Moment war ihm nicht klar, dass er einen Mann in seinem Leben haben möchte. Seit er mit achtzehn zum Militär ging, war er vollkommen zufrieden mit One-Night-Stands und hatte keine Zeit für etwas Dauerhafteres. Doch nachdem er Vicar kennengelernt hat, ist Lucian mehr als bereit, sich niederzulassen.

Schade, dass Vicar nicht genauso empfindet. Doch andererseits mochte Lucian Herausforderungen schon immer.

Ein homoerotischer Liebesroman für Erwachsene mit explizitem Inhalt. Jeder Band dieser Reihe geht auf die romantische Beziehung eines anderen Paares ein.

There are some triggers as far as flashbacks of the London bombing and Vicar being in it and losing someone. There are also moments because both of the MCs are military retired and have issues from time serving. So just a warning.
You know, I get a thrill out of everyone of these books. I love the new people I meet, the feel of a stronger community, a community growing again. It's all so heart-warming and at times heartbreaking. The stories these guys have, the trials they've been through are extraordinary. And that they've made it out alive and at thriving, even if it means therapy, they're doing it. They're making friends, forming bonds and it's a great sense of family. But I would be sitting here lying my butt off, if I didn't say, I get a thrill at opening each book to see what in the Sam hill Jesse has gotten up to this time. And boy, I was crying, I was laughing so hard. The innocent faces he pulls or the act of being incredibly dense to get away with something. It is the funniest damn thing. And oh Mercy, the claws can!e out when Betty Sue and Savannah can!e around. Oh man, my stomach hurts from laughing so hard.
What made me laugh so much harder in this one was Vicar's way of trying to get back at Jesse and having no clue Jesse knew it was him all along. Too funny.
Vicar tries to stay hidden away in the forest. His job as a park ranger keeps him away from town and drama, at least until one of Jesse's Bigfoot hunting episodes get them lost and Vicar has to go find them. He's known Jesse for a few years and tries to steer because who knows what will ever come out of his mouth. Like now, when Vicar is trying to save him from falling off the edge of a cliff and he's arguing with Vicar about Bigfoot being real. But when Jesse cons him into coming into town, he knows it's a bad idea. Especially when they walk in Bootilicious, and his breath is taken away. But he can't fall under Lucian's spell no matter how bad his body betrays him. He can't betray his ex that way. But Lucian has laid claim and he's determined to get his hands on that sexy man. Once he does, he has to fight tooth and nail several times with Vicar, but the last time, he gets what he wants. Vicar tied up with nowhere to go and they're getting to the bottom of this story. When he finds out Vicar's story, his heart breaks for the man, but how does he convince him it's not is fault when the man keeps running.
I feel for both of these guys for being in the military alone. The crap they endure in war zones or on deployment, it's nerve racking. And then being in bombings and other things, it definitely leaves it's Mark. PTSD is no joke. The survivor's guilt, the pain, the injuries. It's hell on Earth. Sometimes it takes intense therapy, sometimes it takes something else. Everyone responds differently. But I love that these two keep getting up and trying. Maybe just trying at their jobs right now, but sometimes that's enough. When they meet, it's a full on fight every time. Because Lucian has to get under that wall Vicar has built. But the effort is always worth it if you keep working at it. Even when everyone says give up.
It's a hard story dealing with the military aspects, but I'm glad She's tied Jesse deep in this one, because it helped tie in humor to diffuse situations that could have been worse. Leave it to ole Jesse lol. Gah i love that boy.
