This knowledge is critical and only takes a few minutes to read. Most importantly, if you’re a little shaky on past details, there’s a link to a free, very short story provided in the beginning of the book that gives background info on one the MCs, Miller Hobbs. However, it is important to understand the setting in Aster Valley, so I highly recommend reading at least Tiller and Mikey’s story, Right as Raine. (It does make for great re-reads because I get to experience it all over again.) Rest assured, you’ll be fine if you can’t remember all of the Marians and Wildes none of the backstory is pivotal to the plot here.

It’s not that they’re not memorable – quite the opposite – I just have a notoriously bad memory. Let me first address what seems to be on a lot of minds, mine included: I was worried about reading this book because, while I’ve read ever book Lucy Lennox has written, I can’t remember the details of many of her older ones. It made me smile to revisit beloved past characters, especially Blue and Tristan from my very first MM romance, Borrowing Blue. All the major characters from the Marian family, the Wilde family, and the Aster Valley found family come together to celebrate Christmas at Tiller and Mikey’s lodge in Aster Valley. Hang onto your hat – Tilly and Granny are naughtier than ever in this special double crossover holiday book. Miller is entranced by the dancing baker, and when Darius looks up and catches Miller staring, the interest suddenly goes both ways.Ĭan two strangers find love among the quaint chaos of an Aster Valley Christmas? Even if it includes the two most overwhelming and meddling families vying for the title of greatest matchmakers of all time? So every morning before the rest of the family wakes up and fills Rockley Lodge with holiday merriment (and noise), he escapes to the quaint downtown of Aster Valley where he spies a man through the bakery window kneading dough and dancing to music only he can hear. He’s not really a Marian or a Wilde despite having DNA ties to both.

When Miller Hobbs finds himself on a winter vacation in Colorado with the giant, exceedingly loud, Marian and Wilde families, he doesn’t quite know what to do with himself.
