The "Becky Wilde" Pseudonym and Re-Release History
When diving into the history of the series, readers often encounter references to the author Becky Wilde. Becca Van and Becky Wilde are the same author. Originally, the earliest novellas in the Passion, Victoria series were published under the pen name Becky Wilde and released through a different publisher. These initial versions were significantly shorter, quick-read novellas.
Later, the author expanded, revised, and re-edited the stories, publishing the definitive, longer editions under her Becca Van pen name through Siren Publishing (specifically under the Siren BookStrand 'Ménage Everlasting' line). If you are looking to purchase or read the series today, ensure you look for the Becca Van versions, as they contain richer narrative depth, expanded backstories, and more developed emotional character arcs.
Detailed Book Breakdown and Character Connections
The Early Inhabitants of Passion (Books 1 to 5)
The series kicks off with The Beginning, establishing the signature tone and rural setting. The story follows Simone Angel, who accepts a housekeeping job at the Triple R Ranch north of Melbourne and finds herself in a passionate relationship with the three Ramsey brothers: Samson, Connor, and Griffith. This book introduces the town's initial reaction to unconventional relationships and sets the community standards for the rest of the series.
In Toni's Reluctance, we follow Antonia Cameron, who is courted by the Landon brothers, Jack and Ben. This installment highlights themes of overcoming past trauma and building trust. Tasha's Story continues within the Cameron family, following Natasha Cameron as she navigates her romance with the protective Gallagher brothers, Sean and Jason.
Beth's Saviors ramps up the external tension with a suspenseful plot. Lisa McDonald (living under the alias Elizabeth Lamb to hide from a corrupt police officer) finds safety and love in Passion with Noah D'Angelo, Zachary Beech, and Tomas Beech. Nikki's Awakening completes the initial run, focusing on Nikki Spirite and her intense relationship with the Spencer brothers: Brandon "Bear", Colt, and Tony.
Developing the Town's Lore (Books 6 to 9)
As the series progresses into 2014, the stories flesh out the local social circle. Hailey's Secret follows Hailey Wood as she seeks a fresh start in the town. This is followed by Duncan and Alec, which centers on the titular Duncan and Alec McLeod. Hidden Emotions continues the emotional exploration of secrets and vulnerability within the close-knit Australian countryside.
In Flowering Passions, the focus shifts to Molly Godfrey, an aspiring florist who moves to Passion to open her own flower shop. Believing herself to be plain, she mistakes the romantic interest of real estate brokers Steven and Giles Blaze for simple friendliness. The story blends cozy small-town vibes with suspense when local drug cultivators threaten Molly, forcing the Blaze brothers and their SAS-trained cousins to step in to protect her.
The Final Installments (Books 10 to 12)
The final arc of the series brings satisfying conclusions to the town's romance lines. Jenna's Destiny explores how the community rallies around its residents. In Tiffany's Return, Tiffany Cowan returns to Passion after four years away caring for her grandmother. Her return catches the attention of her neighbors, Matt and Todd Murray, who quickly realize she is the partner they have been searching for to complete their lives.
The series concludes with Jewel of a Jillaroo. Leveraging the traditional Australian "jillaroo" trope (a young woman working on an outback cattle or sheep station), the book features a fierce, independent heroine who thinks she can handle ranch life entirely on her own. Over the course of the story, she learns to lean on and share her life with her five male partners in a humorous and high-heat MFMMM relationship dynamic.
What to Know Before You Start
Before starting the Passion, Victoria books, readers should be prepared for explicit, high-heat erotic romance featuring polyamorous dynamics, specifically reverse harem and ménage configurations (typically MFM, MFMMM, or MFMMM). The stories place a strong emphasis on mutual respect, female empowerment, emotional healing, and protective partners.
The setting is also highly specific. Unlike many contemporary romance novels set in North America, Becca Van roots her stories in the distinct geography and vocabulary of Victoria, Australia. The inclusion of local details, from ranching terminology like "jillaroos" to the rural landscapes north of Melbourne, provides a unique and authentic regional flavor to the books.
