The Wilder Family series follows the Wilders, a family deeply rooted in the medical profession at Walnut River General Hospital. Across eight books published between 2007 and 2013, Marie Ferrarella tells the love stories of various family members and hospital colleagues. Her Mr. Right? opens the series, and the books continue through romances involving doctors, expectant mothers, and hospital administrators before closing with Wilder Hearts, a 2013 collection.
Medical settings give Ferrarella a natural source of tension and emotional stakes. Surgeries, hospital politics, and late-night shifts bring the characters together in high-pressure situations where feelings develop fast. Readers who enjoy family sagas with a medical backdrop will find plenty to like here, especially since the Wilder siblings and their coworkers appear across multiple books, building a sense of community over the course of the series.
