So I re-read the first book of the "Special forces" series by Marquesate and Vashtan/Aleksandr Voinov and wanted to try putting Dan and Vadim to paper real quick. And then it turned into character sheets kinda. I feel like I made them sound cute, but make no mistake this is some messed up shit.

Is it the best written thing out there? No, but what a fucking rush. It's free to read if you want but it's not an easy read, please HEED THE CONTENT WARNINGS I AM SERIOUS.

Marquesate Gay Military Fiction

If you’re into military setup, gay literature, rough "wooing", no sugarcoated bullshit, something that just steals your soul and then gives it back transformed with new knowledge and realizations... You so definitely HAVE TO read Special Forces series.

The books are free to download at Marquesate’s official website (see the link above) and you can read my reviews for them here: book 1, book 2, book 3, book 4.

If you end up being mega into it (as I did), you’ll appreciate a lil’ continuation with a pair of side characters of the series. ;)

“And I so very fucking much love that man.”

Vadim felt himself tighten up, body finally translating the touches and dealing with the pain, lust grew, and he groaned, wanting nothing more in the world to last but this, this tenderness, Dan talking. The illusion that there was no marching orders, he’d stay here and that was the end of it. Happily ever after.  “And I love...you.” In Russian. “You’re killing me with this...” he gave a near-silent laugh. “Difficult to…endure…”

“Difficult to part.” Dan groaned, he sped up slightly, but his stroking remained slow. Couldn’t let Vadim come. “Most difficult…ever.” He concentrated on nothing but his feelings. Every sensation, no matter how small or big.

~ Aleksandr Voinov and Marquesate,    Special Forces – Soldiers (1980-1989)

Review: Deliverance by Marquesate & TA Brown

Title: Deliverance Book Series #: 4 (Special Forces) Author(s): Marquesate & TA Brown Summary: Nothing in life is ever simple, especially if you’re a Delta Force instructor and an ex-Marine trying to make a new life together – not when you live under the constraints of ‘Don’t ask, Don’t tell,’ the shadow of nightmares, and a darkness that will destroy you unless kept in check. Deliverance is the story of Hooch, a US Delta Force soldier and Matt, his former-Jarhead lover. It is a spin-off from Special Forces and spans the years 1998 to 2011. Both Hooch and Matt were created by Marquesate as secondary characters in the epic Special Forces (© 2006-2009), but they took on a life of their own.

Who introduced you to Deliverance?

I found it after reading Special Forces. I know it's been a month or two I think since Special Forces but I decided to purchase it. I liked Hooch and Matt from SF. So yeah...

After reading, what were your first thoughts?

I was plotting the next time I would have the time to read it. I work in retail and this is the most busiest time of year. But other than that I was thinking that even though they didn't have the epic struggle and love tale like Vadim and Dan it was an amazing read.

Your favorite character?

Rex

What is your favorite scene?

The whole book? I think my most favorite scene is when Hooch is basically out of the hospital. Matt is crawling into bed with Hooch and all he can think about it Hooch being there, being alive, and how he was going to make it work. I enjoy scenes like that, that scream HOPE!

Your least favorite character?

Yeah but he doesn't have a name in book. The jackass.

What is your least favorite scene?

When Hooch and Matt fight after he is almost completely healed from the hospital. Hooch storms out and ends up getting injured again.

What scene made you sad or angry?

It's the adjoining scene from the previous question in Matt's point of view. I could literally feel and understand where he was coming from. I felt like this scene was a mixture of both anger and sadness. It was a dark moment for both Matt and Hooch.

What scene(s) made you laugh?

At the Christmas party when Robertson sees Hooch and Matt in their respective roles at the club. He was totally right about them. For the next one, all I gotta say is PetSmart.

What is your favorite love scene?

All of them? It was the scene in the club at the Christmas Party. They're  in the theater and Matt had just gotten Hooch to drink two glasses of whiskey then ....go get the book to see the rest ^_~

What is your favorite quote?

Matt still had his eyes closed. “It looked…” he swallowed, “really good. Trust me, I was about three seconds away from ripping your jeans off and fucking you in the aisle next to the kitty litter.”

How many times have you read this book?

5 <- I think? Lol. I re-read so many books. :D

So looking at these Special Forces posts and I'm not going to lie, don't know if I'm getting the wrong end of the stick and if I am I apologise. But this person Aleksandr has released it right, with editing and such? It's just really starting to piss me off if people actually think he wrote it, because he didn't. And if he gets recognition for the proper authors work it's going to piss me off so much. He's just edited it, they did everything else. They made the characters that actually make your heart hurt whilst reading, they did all that and now people are only just reading it because of him and yeah I liked it at first but now it's fucked me off if people actually think he wrote it, because he didn't and you can read it for free on Marquesate's website, maybe s/he knows about this but I don't know, but in a way I don't even think its fair anyway. As it was written by Marquesate and Vashtan! Sorry if I'm going to piss people off with this comment but I've been reading this for years, I get protective.
