The Christmas in Redemption Ridge series is one that I've been waiting to start from the beginning for some time now, especially as the spinoff to the Heroes of Freedom Ridge series, which I enjoyed getting to read and review in my first year of this account.
Book Synopsis
He's completely wrong for her. But their marriage may be exactly what she needs.
Professional bullrider Jason Keen is chasing a national title--and running from his mistakes. When his last sponsor threatens to pull their support unless he becomes the poster boy of a charming, family friendly cowboy, there is no way he can pull it off. Unless he can find another way to soften his rough-edged image while he works at Redemption Ranch between events…
Despite her family’s status as Colorado ranching royalty, Cassie Reynolds’ heart has been tied to the rodeo since her first event at the tender age of five. If her possessive ex-boyfriend would get the hint and leave her alone, she’d never leave her rodeo marketing job. Unfortunately, with each passing day, he’s growing more desperate to claim her.
When a week at home on Redemption Ranch is interrupted by the appearance of Cassie’s ex, Jason can’t stand by and let him terrorize the owner’s daughter. Could her unorthodox proposal be the solution to get them both through the holidays and the rodeo national finals?

Book Thoughts
After reading the Heroes of Freedom Ridge series, I am excited to visit the next series written by a lot of the same authors in a neighbouring town called Redemption Ridge. As the name promises, there is much redemption to experience in these Christmas stories along with a few crossover surprises if you've read the previous series. Tara Grace Ericson kicks us off with an introduction to Jason Keen and Cassie Reynolds, where the two characters have known each other for years, but a threat causes them to have to work together to ensure their safety. I appreciate that we get to see beyond Jason's gruff exterior to his heart. It's truly a spiritual and interpersonal transformation that help Jason and Cassie move beyond being acquaintances to more.
As always, I love the intentionality behind this series in pointing to Jesus while offering a great story. There's plenty to learn about the world of bull-riding, with the author bringing us behind-the-scenes in a way that makes you feel like you're watching the sport live before your eyes. Coupled with these professional moments, the times at the ranch with Cassie's family are touching. Readers looking for a down-to-earth Christmas story that shows how God provide for us while facing a dose of suspense and Western themes will enjoy Marrying the Rancher's Daughter.
