Facing West

A Forever Wilde Novel

By: Lucy Lennox

Narrated by: Michael Dean

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?

Better than the Marion series

I liked the Marion series, but this is my favorite Lennox novel so far. Characters were dynamic and endearing- can't wait for more in the series.

Great story and performance.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the performance of Michael Pauley. Very realistic rendition. I would recommend this book to any of my friends.

Love the book and narration

These are my FAVORITE narrators ever! The book had serious, romantic, funny and unexpected parts. This is a keeper!

loved it!!!

The story was wonderful and the narrator did an excellent job. Looking forward to listening to more in this series.

Hot and sweet

Lucy understands the nature of gay love and romance. She is able to build a story around unlikely pairs. She is a wonderful writer.

The beginning of a new family saga

As I very much enjoyed different parts of Lennox's "Made Marian" novels, I was interested to see how she would move on. This new series will seem to focus on the Wilde family. First my critiques, much like with the "Made Marian" series, Lennox seems to focus on the idea that a big family with kids is needed for the happiness of her main characters. However, Nico and West were both endearing and both grew. West's grandfathers were cute and charming, and it was nice to see some of the Marian family come back. You don't need to be familiar with "Made Marian" to enjoy Facing West. I am cautiously optimistic for the next novel in "Forever Wilde".

Awesome 💕💕

I absolutely love Lucy Lennox and Michael Pauley. Forever west didn't disappoint, and I can't wait for her next book. Nico and west are adorable together. Usually I'm not a fan of kids in romance stories, but this was awesome. It's sweet, and 🔥🔥and has all the feels. Trust me, purchase this book😉😉

Facing West

Omg this audio book was absolutely positively amazing. I would highly recommend this audio book.

Outstanding

Having finished the Made Marian novels, I was so excited that the Wilde clan came into my life. Another great novel from this incredible combo of Lucy and Michael! Bravo !!

A Good Start

This was book 1 in the "Forever Wilde" series. This book has been on my tbr list for awhile. We first met Nico Salerno in the "Made Marian" series he has been back to his hometown in 15 years his sister Adriana has died and he learned that she left him custody of her newborn baby. Dr. Weston Wilde was Adriana's best friend. I didn't like the way West treated Nico he didn't know why Nico left or what he has been through. I didn't like the fact that his mother didn't stand up for him against the bullies A man who people said wouldn't marry her because of him. I loved that West started seeing Nico for the man he was when he lets his guard down. I loved that each one of them wanted the best for Pippa. These two started hooking up it was hot and heavy neither one of them wanted a relationship but feelings happen. I loved that West has a big family like the Marian's that showed up I loved that Griffin and Rebecca showed up to help Nico. I loved West grandfather's and I can't wait to read there story. I love reading books with loud large families who were very supportive of each other. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I also liked the narration of this book. I am looking forward to reading and listening to the next book in this series.
