Basic Training by Marquesate

Well this book was a long time coming. As I expected this book was a realistic and at times brutal story of military life.
Col Wilson is a Drill Sargeant in the Royal Forces, he is a gay man. He knows that, but he won't and can't give into that feeling. He never has indulged in those fantasies, and his plan is to keep it that way. Until Chris Thompson, new recruit, openly gay and FUCKING PERFECTION walks in as part of his new group.
Chris is not only openly gay, but he is by far the best of best in the new group, that brings trouble with it for Col and in the platoon. Bad things happen, but Chris is resilient. He graduates as the top in class, and his first and foremost desire once that is done is to get Col. Col can't help himself, he goes to Chris. And they begin.
There were elements in this story that were reminiscent of that other story I love so well. I liked that they were together for many years, that unwavering lust and love thing that Marquesate's men have. So much passion and fierceness. That was there. The mind blowing hotness. That was there too. The enduring and unwavering love. THERE. The whole time. It was also surprisingly non-dramatic, in a good way. They were in love, they had a lot of obstacles, but they worked around them, the bid their time and found their HEA.
I liked this book, I liked these men, and I LOVED what they had. It wasn't haunting and angsty, if frustrating at times. There were bits, that I felt went on too long, but that didn't bother me too much. This story was was good. Very good.
I recommend.
