Cathy Gillen Thacker’s The Legends of Laramie County is a four-book romance series set in Texas ranching country. Published between 2012 and 2013, the series opens with The Reluctant Texas Rancher and follows various rancher heroes through stories of love and family life. Each title centers on a different “Texas Rancher” and the woman who changes his plans, covering everything from reluctant beginnings to marriage, promises, and building a family.
Readers who enjoy small-town Western romance with recurring settings and connected characters will find a lot to like here. The books were released in quick succession, so binge-reading through all four is easy. Start with The Reluctant Texas Rancher to meet the first hero and get grounded in the Laramie County setting before moving on through the rest of the series.
