While Miller has ties to both the Marian’s and the Wilde’s, he doesn’t yet feel he belongs and is deeply mourning the loss of his mother. These are books 5 and 6 in the Forever Wilde series… so how does Aster Valley fit the picture? Well, it starts right here and now as the location for a large, loud and overwhelming Marion/Wilde Aster Valley Christmas. Miller was introduced in His Saint, Saint and Augie’s story, and then again at the end of Wilde Love, where the Marian and Wilde families are connected.

Forever Wilde in Aster Valley is Miller Hobbs’ story. His articulation of the individuals captures each scene, resounding with all the joy, love, anger and tension due at that moment. Maybe this is the result of his long-time connection to these characters, but it could also be pure talent on his part. His narration is always a treat, giving a confident and astounding voice to the individuals. Michael Dean has narrated all of the Made Marian, Forever Wilde and Aster Valley novels, so there is a lot of continuity with the portrayal of characters’ personalities.

But I feel if you haven’t followed these series, you will miss some of the subtle nuances. Since Forever Wilde in Aster Valley’s focus is on a new family member, it can be read as a standalone as the author states in her note to the readers. Forever Wilde in Aster Valley, by Lucy Lennox, is a crossover for all times that brings individuals from Lucy Lennox’s Made Marian and Forever Wilde series together at the Rockley Lodge in Aster Valley, Colorado (her ongoing series) for the holidays.
