The Great Family Roundup is the 2017 installment of Harlequin’s Montana Mavericks continuity, and it opens with a bang when The Maverick Fakes a Bride! sets up a reality-TV-style fake engagement in Rust Creek Falls. From there, the six books explore mail-order matchmaking, prodigal sons returning home, and a snowbound Christmas romance. Each story features a different couple, but the books share a timeline and overlapping characters.
Marie Ferrarella was among the authors who contributed to this installment, joining other Harlequin writers in building out the world of Rust Creek Falls. The Great Family Roundup has a playful energy, leaning into modern twists on old-fashioned romance tropes. If you enjoy western settings, holiday themes, and stories where the whole town has an opinion about your love life, this series delivers on all of those fronts.
