Publisher's Summary

The first book in a new series by Lucy Lennox!

Nico:

I left my family and tiny Texas hometown 15 years ago to escape small-town gossips and to give my mom and sister the chance at a better life. But when a phone call from an attorney back home informs me that my sister passed away, leaving me custody of her newborn baby, I'm shocked out of the steady life I've built for myself running a tattoo shop in San Francisco.

The thing is: I don't do babies. And I don't do small towns. Or commitment. And I especially don't do family. My plan is to go back to Hobie just long enough to sign adoption papers, giving my niece the kind of stable, loving family I could never provide.

But the moment I meet my niece in the arms of Weston Wilde, my sister's best friend and the town's handsome doctor, my plans begin to change. Because suddenly, I see a different future. One with the very thing I thought I never deserved: a family. If only I can convince West that I'm not the same good-for-nothing kid ready to bolt when things get tough.

Weston:

There's one thing I know for sure about Nico Salerno: he was a good-for-nothing as a kid and judging by the purple-haired, tattooed punk who shows up at his sister's funeral, he hasn't changed. There's no way I'm letting him take custody of my best friend's baby.

But the more time I spend around him, the more I realize that his rough exterior is just a shell and that beneath all the tattoos is a scared, insecure man searching for a place to belong. And pretty soon I know exactly where he belongs: in my bed and by my side.

The problem is, he abandoned his family once before, how do I know that if we become a family he won't do it again?

Loved it!

I loved the book when I read it first time around. I love all the books in this series. For a re-read I thought I’d go for the audible version - I was not disappointed. Michael Pauley does an amazing job and the voices he uses for each character just seems to sync with everything I had envisaged when I read it the first time.

I found myself laughing, crying and just really enjoying sinking into the characters. For some reason the funny dialogue is even more enjoyable when listening to it. Great job Lucy Lennox as always can’t wait to see where you go with this series and Michael haven’t come across one book that you’ve narrated that I haven’t loved, just awesome!!

A must read for parents in particular.

Heart warming and filled with drama, affection and humorous this book will put a smile on your face.

Can't wait for more and I love how she managed to work the lovable Marian's into ANOTHER story.

PS the sex was hot as hell.

I'm going to enjoy this series

I loved Nico and West, well I loved Nico from the start but it took me at least 30% into the book to start liking West.
I'm looking forward to more of the Wilde families stories.

Nico gets his HEA!

Facing West is the first book in the Forever Wilde. A small town MM romance with second chance and opposites attract tropes.

After fifteen years Nico (yes, Nico from Made Marian) is called to his hometown after the passing of his sister and custody of his niece. Nico does not do babies...he has a plan to return to Hobie, sign the adoption papers and then go home. But things don't go to plan.

West the small town doctor remembers Nico well he's is convinced he hasn't changed and can't just hadn't over his best friends baby.

Now usually I'm not a huge fan of books with babies (kids in general...I'd just rather not) but with Lucy's small town vibes it's hard not to look past it. I always find that the children/babies hit different in MM romance than in MF or RH books.
With that said I really did enjoy this book. After Nico's appearances in Made Marian series and getting more of his story his journey deserves his HEA.

Facing West

Loved this first instalment of Forever Wilde. West and Nico have a complicated story that intersects with the other characters really well. Loved the back story. Five out of five.

loved the story and the narrator was the BEST!!!

I absolutely LOVED this narrator. He really tells it beautifully. I was sucked straight into the story, following the highs and lows of the story as if it was happening to me.
