As Marine Staff Sergeant Will MacIntyre works on deactivating an
IED in Afghanistan, he thinks of his high school and college sweetheart back in
Michigan’s Upper Peninsular. While he dropped
out of school to join the military to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, she became
Dr. Olivia Eklund. When he steps on
another explosive, Will is sent flying; severely injured his last words before
becoming unconscious is his former Yooper girlfriend’s name.
As he hides in his grandfather’s remote cabin near Calumet while
on medical leave, Will, missing his appointment with the VA doctor, ignores his
health yet still hopes eventually to return to his unit. When he runs into his Liv, Will knows she
will always be his one, but she never understood his joining the military as
accentuated by her Dear Will letter four months into his military career. Unable to resist he kisses her. However when a seven years old hockey player
breaks a wrist during a game, Will helps distract him while Liv works on his
injury. Unable to resist, they renew
their love and he starts taking care of himself. Still his being in the military remains an
obstacle to a long-term commitment.
This profound Uniformly Hot! military romance focuses on the
problems that even loving couples confront when one of them is away on long
term deployments; ironically in this plot the hero is home but both anticipate
his return to theater. With a deep
support cast and terrific protagonists, Kate Hoffmann authors an insightful look
at a military-civilian relationship.
