Christmas in Winter Valley

by Jodi Thomas

Overview

The Ransom Canyon series is coming soon to Netflix starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly!

Ransom Canyon welcomes you back for a Christmas that has everything you’re looking for: romance, family and a whole lot of Texas.

Cooper Holloway would take nature over people any day—especially visiting relatives. That’s why he’s headed for a rustic cabin in remote Winter Valley, where he’ll care for a herd of wild mustangs. But Cooper’s plans are quickly thwarted by the arrival of two unexpected guests: one, a stranger in desperate need of his help, and the other, a very attractive young veterinarian.

Elliott is busy trying to keep Maverick Ranch running smoothly with Cooper gone, which is no easy task with family visiting. And when a long-lost love suddenly reappears in his life, Elliott knows he’ll have more than just books to balance this season.

With a big, chaotic family Christmas around the corner and love blooming in surprising ways, the Holloway men will have to make big choices about the future—just in time for the holidays.

Editorial Reviews

08/19/2019

In the eighth Texas-based Ransom Canyon contemporary (after Mistletoe Miracles), Thomas has too many plates spinnning and ends up dropping a few. As Christmas approaches, Elliot Holloway is brooding over his former girlfriend Jessica Brantley when she unexpectedly pops back into his life. Elliot’s brother, Cooper Holloway, is keeping an eye on a herd of horses when he meets veterinarian Hayley Westland, who steals his heart. Even ranch cook Dani is falling in love, with a busted-up ranch hand. The three romances intertwine throughout, and Thomas tosses in a passel of appealing secondary characters (especially nine-year-old runaway Tatum) who provide plenty of charm. However, the plot meanders a bit as it jumps from romance to romance along with details of everyone’s chaste love affairs. Christmas is mentioned here and there, but it isn’t the focus until the end, when happy endings (some surprising) are enjoyed by all. New readers may find emotional connections hard to make, but Thomas fans will gladly return to Ransom Canyon. (Oct.)
