The Sons of Chance series is one of Vicki Lewis Thompson’s signature works, set on the Last Chance Ranch in Wyoming. The series follows the Chance family and the cowboys who work on their ranch as they find love, deal with family complications, and navigate life in a tight-knit Western community. Starting with Wanted! in 2010, the series grew to 27 books over more than a decade.
Thompson uses the ranch setting to create a world that readers can return to across many books. The Chance family is large enough to support dozens of romantic pairings, and the Wyoming landscape provides a consistent backdrop of mountains, horses, and wide-open spaces. Books like Should’ve Been a Cowboy, Cowboy Up, and I Cross My Heart focus on individual romances while advancing the broader family story.
The series is also notable for its sheer length and consistency. Thompson maintained the quality and voice across more than two dozen entries, which is no small feat for any ongoing romance series. Fans of Western romance who want to settle into a single world for a long reading run will find plenty of material here.
