Story
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. He’s not really a Marian or a Wilde despite having DNA ties to both. 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.

Story
It was supposed to be a prank. A silly frat boy dare. One hot moment in a hidden storage closet. One kiss. No consequences. But if you get that close to a man with fire in his eyes, you’re gonna get burned, and I was no exception. One taste of Grey Blackwood ruined me for life. The way Grey sees it, I was the one who did the ruining. I humiliated him. Wrecked his life. Destroyed his future.

I’m a SEAL. Or rather, I was. Retired at the grand old age of 38, I’m at loose ends. My best friend wants me to join his security team. I’m not sure I’m bodyguard material, but he needs someone to protect his kid brother. How hard can spoiled brat duty be? Somehow, I missed the part where former child star Danny Love went from dorky TV darling to all grown up and disturbingly attractive. All the gossip about his wild ways fails to mention that he’s trying hard to clean up his act.

Look, when I met the sexy, witty Brit on the streets of London last night, I had no idea who he was. He was just that hot guy I wanted to have a drink with, so I asked him out for my first evening in town. One thing almost led to another. After a midnight kiss, we made plans for a whole lot more the next day. But when I unlock the door to my rental in the morning, the English hottie is lounging on the couch like he lives here too. Great. For the next year, I’ll be sharing a tiny flat with the sexiest guy I’ve ever known.

Kind, caring, and protective. Those are the three qualities I’m looking for when it comes to my dream man. In a city as big as Chicago, you wouldn’t think he would be that hard to find, right? Wrong. Sure, my boss found a super-sexy detective and my best friend fell madly in love with the most eligible bachelor around. But the only person I’ve met recently is a broody bad boy who saved me at a sketchy pub. He’s grumpy, rude, and honestly, not that likeable at all. Hardly my “dream” guy. So why can’t I stop thinking about him?

I spent college worrying about responsibilities and earning my teaching degree, so before graduation and moving to Atlanta with my best friend, Ross, I figure I deserve a little fun. I’ve never been with an older man, but the guy at the bar grabs my attention and doesn’t let go…for multiple rounds, all night long. The next day, when Ross introduces me to his dad, the last thing I expect is for him to be my hookup from the night before, in town from Atlanta for his son’s graduation. The best thing would be to pretend it never happened, which is easier said than done.

The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

I’m thankful for my best friend, Heath. He’s got my back like he always does and is ready to take me out and show me how the bachelor life is done. He was never supposed to show me literally.

Some people are born lucky. Then there’s me, destined to be loved by the man who knows my darkest secret. My gift has followed me my entire life—the ability to see the threads of fate. I can see the red thread tying together two people destined to love one another. But my gift has another side to it. A darker side. I can also see a simple black thread tied to the fingers of those who aren’t aware of it, connecting them to the person destined to kill them. And when I look down at my own finger, I can see the red thread stretched over to Bishop King.

Publisher's Summary
Julian:
I've been in love with my best friend since forever. Okay, fine. Like, kindergarten. It started out platonic, obviously, but then became.... Nope. Still platonic. The problem is that Parker Ellis has been straight since forever. And that makes it difficult to convince him that the two of us are meant to be together.
And now, there's no point. All is lost. He's gone and gotten engaged to his high-school sweetheart - which means I have to grin and bear it, while pretending to be the happy, supportive best man, while he prepares to commit his life to a woman I can't even fault. She's great. We've all been friends forever. I know he'll be happy with Erin, just not.... Just not as happy as he could be with me.
Parker:
I'll admit. Sometimes I press the easy button. Like when Julian Thick had offered me half his sandwich, back in grade school, after noticing I didn't have any food. Or when I'd needed a date to homecoming in 10th grade, and Erin told me she was it. Or when I'd used the one thing that came easy to me, skiing, to get my college tuition paid for. Or when Erin had showed back up in my life, six months ago, and me told it was time to marry, and start a family....
But, for the first time in my life, I'm facing something that's not at all easy. It's my wedding weekend, and I've just been left at the altar. Not only that, but when my best friend whisks me away, to drown my sorrows in a snowy cabin in Aster Valley, I accidentally discover Julian's been keeping secrets. Big secrets.
The kind of secrets that lead to hot, experimental kisses in front of a blazing fire, tentative physical exploration in a way I'd never imagined before, and the kind of intimate, true confessions I'd never even dreamed of - between me and the one person who's always been my true home.
But after 20-plus years of thinking of Jules as my friend without benefits, is it truly possible to change who we are to each other? There's no easy button this time, but I'm willing to do the work. I only wonder if Julian is ready to trust I really mean it.

Best friends to lovers romance!
This is definitely my favorite trope!
Julian and Parker are like two peas in a pod.
They were literally meant to be together from the very beginning.
I love seeing them evolve from boys to men and seeing their bond strengthen and the dynamics of their relationship change.
This was my absolute favorite in the series.
The narration performed an amazing audio delivery and narration

Finally claiming the best thing that’s always been right in front you
This is hands down the best friends to lovers story I have ever read. It deserves way more than 5 stars. Michael Dean is absolutely fantabulous narrating this story. Julian and Parker’s story is delicious perfection. It is a masterful tale of love, enlightenment, and growth sneakily wrapped in a romcom. It is story full of swoons, quirky townspeople, absurdity, drama, sweet moments, strong families, supportive friends, dysfunctional families, sexy times, painful pasts, and love. Julian is an attorney who is gay and has been in love with his best friend for almost two decades. Parker is a ski instructor and became best friends with Julian when he was in first grade. He believes he’s straight. When the book begins, Parker is scheduled to marry Erin but is left at the alter with a dear Parker letter. While the book is funny, it is also a deeply emotional book. What follows the wedding that wasn’t, is the most baggage unpacking that two romance heroes have ever had to unpack. But oh the journey to get to their HEA is so painfully beautiful and you will feel all the things along the way. Expect to laugh, to cry, to swoon, to grit your teeth, to roll your eyes, to gasp, and to cheer. Most of all, expect to fall in love with Julian and Parker. I love, love this town and this series. I cannot wait to see who’s next to fall in love in Aster Valley.

Brilliant
I have say Tiller and Mikey are still my favorite Aster Valley couple but I loved Julian and Parker! I think veteran romance readers know that with a romance novel you are going to get an HEA. But with this book I had some major anxiety wondering if these two would figure it out. Alas they do, and while friends to lovers isn’t normally a favorite trope of mine, this author is. She never disappoints and this book is just more proof of that!
It’s funny how when I first heard Michael Dean I wasn’t a fan but he’s quickly become a favorite of mine.

Recommend despite Side Character Mishap
Yes, there is what I consider to be a glaring discrepancy in a character's back story in this book, which I will talk about without any spoilers, but first I want to say that I'm a fan of Lucy Lennox and her interconnecting series Made Marion, Forever Wilde, and Aster Valley and this book IS worth a credit. It is heart-warming, heart-wrenching, laugh out loud funny, sweet and steamy in turns with a HEA ending.
I just re-listened to all the books in all three series before getting this latest one. Perhaps it is because they are so fresh in my mind and because I am so fond of these crazy families and invested in all the characters that the mistake with Sam's backstory was so glaring to me.
First a quick list of the main characters of the Aster Valley books.
1. Winter Waites (novella) - Winter and Gentry
2. Right as Raine - Mikey and Tiller
3. Sweet as Honey - Sam and Truman
4. Hot as Heller - Finn and Declan
5. Forever Wilde in Aster Valley - Miller and Darius
6. Thick as Thieves - Julian and Parker
Sam was introduced in book 2 as Mikey's childhood friend/ best friend who is also good friends with Tiller, but that happened through Mikey. In book 3 he becomes a main character and that history with Mikey in Texas is fleshed out even more. However in this book, book 6, he is talked about/ presented as if he grew up with Tiller, Julian and Parker in Colorado and was part of their tight childhood group of friends. He really is just a minor side character in this book and whether or not he was part of that friend group doesn't really affect Julian and Parker's story. The inconsistency just bugged the crap out of me.
If you can get past that, then I have no hesitation in recommending this book.

So sweet!
This is Julian and Parker's story, and it is very sweet. Julian finally gets his HEA after seeing his closest meet their person and pair up. It takes Parker a while to realize what he's subconsciously know for decades so it's very fun to see the lightbulb come on. I like seeing the other characters from this series make appearances. They don't have big roles, and this book can be enjoyed as a standalone if you choose. However, I think the entire series is worth a read/ listen.
