The Texas Legacies: The Carrigans series by Cathy Gillen Thacker follows the Carrigan family across four books published in 2007 and 2008. The series opens with The Rancher’s Family Thanksgiving, and three of the four books came out in 2007 alone, making this a fast-paced release schedule. Several titles have holiday themes, including The Rancher’s Family Thanksgiving and The Rancher’s Christmas Baby.
Reading in publication order is recommended since the Carrigan family’s stories build on each other from book to book. The series wraps up with The Gentleman Rancher in 2008. Fans of Thacker’s other Texas Legacies books, like the Lockharts series, will recognize her approach to family-centered romance set in ranching country.
