This is book #6 in the series, but can be read as a stand-alone.
What I didn't like:
- The writing style took some getting used to
- Excessively sentimental ending/last part of the book. I hate those.
- The whole family is gay. It's like all the statistics got reversed.
- I didn't get the feel of the period at all. It could have been a contemporary book with any war setting for all we are shown.
What I liked:
- The friends to lovers part of the book was well done (especially the 'friends' part)
- I liked Weston in particular
- Betsy was awesome and totally not what I expected from Doc's introduction

The end reaaaally drags on and feel more like fan service than rellevamt in the stor.y
after a sea of DNF’s in this series I’ve finally found one that didn’t make me want to set myself on fire
Doc and Grandpa!
We finally get the story between Doc and Grandpa and the hardships they had to face to be a couple. Their time with Betsy was both beautiful and heartbreaking as both Doc and West loved her in their own ways. It was lovely to catch up with all the Wilde and Marian crews and to see that Ammon was adopted by the Marian's. Two great series!

Wow what an epic book of emotions!
We all fell in love with these two strong willed men in previous books, but to finally get their story from the beginning was absolutely amazing to read!
The highs and lows, the battles they faced, their journey to love, the fun banter and the heart breaking times, this book had it all and it will forever be in my heart ❤️❤️

Ho ripreso in mano questa serie dopo tanto tempo, con l’intenzione di mettermi in pari con le letture della Lennox.
La prima cosa che ho notato – piacevolmente – è un testo tradotto senza i fastidiosi refusi precedenti; è stata fatta una buona revisione e di questo sono felice.
La storia di Doc e Nonno meritava di essere letta e mi aveva incuriosita molto con gli accenni dei libri precedenti. Devo dire che è davvero coinvolgente, più profonda e drammatica degli altri volumi, ma è l’argomento stesso della guerra e della vita militare a pretenderlo.
Il loro amore travagliato è davvero ben descritto. La caratterizzazione del “Maggiore” lo ha fatto diventare il mio preferito. Ho amato il suo coraggio, l’animo nobile ed eroico, il suo amore incondizionato, la generosità estrema che lo caratterizza. Anche Doc non è da meno, ma lui ha dimostrato le umane fragilità che la sua roccia personale ha colmato.
Mi è piaciuta la reunion mixata di Marian e Wilde, anche se è un po’ inevitabilmente confusionaria. Ho faticato un po’ a ricordare tutti i collegamenti e qualcuno mi è sfuggito.
Concludo consigliandone la lettura. È apprezzabile anche da solo, ma nell’insieme delle due serie è forse il libro migliore.

Only the first 85% of this book can be read as a standalone. After that, the entire remaining 15% is basically an extended epilogue full of characters from other books which will leave you completely lost if you haven't read all the other books.
I'm giving this three stars because I really did like that first 85%, but it really sucks to hit the 90% mark of a book you initially couldn't put down and not be sure if you think finishing it is worth it.

I was NOT prepared for how much I would love Doc and Grandpa’s story - I knew it would be heartbreaking and sweet at the same time, but had no clue how much I’d been wanting their story all along.
William (Liam/Doc) Wilde met Weston (Major) Marian while serving in Vietnam - they worked together on the same flight crew and forged a bond through tragedy, survival and genuine connection. Doc was sweet and innocent, not yet battle hardened and still trying to figure out what to do with his life while Major was tough, hardened by the things he’d see and what happened to him before joining the Army with no family to speak of. Even when they’re separated due to different assignments and placements, their friendship remained strong, something they’d never expected. Doc had a wife and children at home so their relationship was never more than friendship, regardless of what Major felt all those years.
Back stateside and out of the Army, they found themselves both in Texas working on the Wilde ranch and Hobart farm together, becoming irreplaceable parts of each other’s life. Doc and his family leaned on Major when they needed it most, during the worst moments of their life, and Major found the family he never expected to have after all the years he spent on their own. Doc and Major overcame a lot together to get to the point where they could be open about their feelings, especially during a time where being gay wasn’t widely accepted, and created a life and a family that was everything they’d ever imagined and more.
Their story was the definition of slow burn but seeing the natural development of their friendship turned relationship was incredible, heartbreaking and a joy to read. Doc and Major overcame so much to get to the point where we’d seen them in the other Forever Wilde stories and I feel like I appreciate their sweet, quirky and adoring relationship so much more now. While unexpected, they were everything the other needed and more - I couldn’t love their story any more if I tried!
And their vow renewal killed me - it was the perfect way to end their story and an incredible way to show the love they have for each other and the family they created. Can’t wait to read more of the Forever Wilde stories for more glimpses of Doc and Grandpa!
