The Buckhorn Ranch series by Laura Marie Altom is a four-book run of Harlequin American Romance titles set on a family cattle operation. It begins with The Bull Rider’s Christmas Baby (2010), where a rodeo cowboy returns to the ranch to face a surprise baby and the woman he left behind. The Rancher’s Twin Troubles (2011), A Cowgirl’s Secret (2011), and A Baby in His Stocking (2011) round out the series, each following a different Buckhorn family member.
These are classic Harlequin westerns: tight page counts, warm characters, and plenty of family drama. The babies-and-cowboys formula is Altom’s bread and butter, and this series delivers exactly what fans of her other work expect. If you enjoyed her Fatherhood series or her later Cowboy SEALs books, The Buckhorn Ranch fits right alongside them as a lighter, ranch-focused read.
