Cathy Gillen Thacker’s McCabe Family series has four books spanning 2001 to 2015. Texas Vows starts the series, followed over a decade later by The Seven-Year Proposal (2012), Lone Star Christmas (2014), and Lone Star Valentine (2015). The long gap between the first and second books means readers can treat the later three as a tighter cluster.
The series falls under holiday fiction, and the Lone Star titles in particular carry seasonal themes. Reading in publication order is recommended since the McCabe family’s story develops across all four volumes.
