While I have not read the other books in this particular series, I am familiar with Maisey Yate's style. This book had a large cast of characters and a setting with a rich history, but it was easy to follow. Lately, I have been loving single-parent romances. This book is an interesting take on a second-chance romance. I like how this book focused on personal growth in addition to the building of family bonds.

This is such a heartwarming story, that brings us back to the Four Corners Ranch. Even though this is part of a series, it can definitely be read as a standalone. This is a second chance romance.
Landry King and Fia Sullivan were high school sweethearts.
They both came from homes with questionable parents. So when Fia found herself pregnant at 15, she felt the only option was to adopt the baby out. Landry had a different opinion. But Fia felt that they were both too young and wanted the best for their daughter.
So for the past 13 years, they have still had to work together. Neither one of their families could understand why they were always at each other and constantly bickering.
The one thing Landry did do is he made sure that the adoption agency had his name and number just in case his daughter wanted to meet him when she got older .
As it turned out, their daughter, Lila’s adoptive parents were killed in a car accident. After being in foster care for a year, they finally found Landry number.
So Landry went and got her and brought her back to the four corners ranch. He had her home for about three weeks before Fia found out.
I don’t want to give any more away, so I highly recommend that you read this and you may want to have some tissues near.

Maisey Yates has done it again! I was so happy when I found out Fia Sullivan’s book was next! She has been a mystery to me and I was so curious why she hated Landry King so much! I was not expecting a child!! This book was a rollercoaster of emotions for sure! I cried so hard while reading this because I could see the hurt from both of their perspectives. Definitely not a light read so please be warned. The ending was a fantastic conclusion to their story!

You will love this book if you like:
Western
Grumpy x sunshine
Slowburn

Hero for the Holidays can be read as a standalone or as part of the series. If you love a good slow burn Western romance, this just might be the book for you!

Thank you to Maisey Yates, Harlequin Trade Publishing, Canary Street Press, and Netgalley for this opportunity.

I gave this book two stars because it became very boring very fast with all the rehashing of the past. It could have been a short story if the past was told once and the characters moved on.

5 glowing stars!!! If you have read the other books in the Four Corners Ranch series, you will finally be let into the secret of why Fia and Landry can’t seem to get along, and why Fia is so guarded with her heart. It is no secret since it is in the book description, but it is because Fia and Landry have a HISTORY, and there was a baby that was put up for adoption?!?!? This story is about them building connections with that newly orphaned daughter, and trying to come to terms with their past, and the hurts that they both have carried with them for years.

I really liked this one, and connected with the story- it was a lot less ‘ranch’ than some of the others, and the characters also felt more realistic. It is a standalone novel, so if you haven’t read the others, don’t let that stop you from picking this one up.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley, all opinions are my own.

Fans of Maisey Yates’ Four Corners Ranch: this is the novel you having been waiting for — and it delivers. We have been teased by the story of Fia and Landry throughout the series and it is finally here and it is beautiful. It is a story of two youth that lack maturity in thought and communication that grow and learn through the ensuing years resulting in a romance for the ages. Thank you to @NetGalley and @Harlequin for the opportunity to read this beautiful romance. The opinions are strictly my own.

I’ve been waiting for Fia and Landry’s story for like six books now.

First, let me just preface this by saying I am Maisey Yates trash. I genuinely adore these books as someone who lives on a farm, raised on a farm, has horses and cattle and all the little critters. I feel like these are the most accurately portrayed books for farm life that I’ve read. Yes it romanticizes a lot of it - that’s fine.

The storyline for this book hit me so hard. I was not expecting to be in tears for a good portion of the book but I was. Hero for the Holidays is going down as one of my top Yates books. Absolutely loved it. Small town romance vibes, farm life vibes, family commune - ish but not in a creepy way. The entire series is great.

Maisey Yates brings us back to the Four Corners Ranch series. We meet Landry King when he brings home his thirteen year old daughter Lila. Turned out that no one at Four Corners knew about her and they all get a surprise when he introduces her to his family after she loses her adoptive parents. While Landry and Lila are attempting to forge a new relationship, things get even more complicated when he has to confront the rest of the families that make up the compound. Landry and Fia have always butted heads over everything and things will get even more complicated once he shares his news.

We get to read and see how everyone reacts to the news of the newest member of their family and community. How will her appearance impact everyone? Will Lila and Landry be able to see past their hurt and everything that has come before to become a new family? Read to see how Fia reacts when Landry is back in her life and not just in passing or meetings. Will they be able to separate their past from their present after their short lived romance all those years ago? Will the Kings and Sullivans be able to forge a new future that benefits everyone at Four Corners and for their families? You also get to check in with the other members of their families from past books and look forward to seeing more from this series.

I have read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I would like to thank NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing | Canary Street Press for this privilege.

I was really glad I was able to read this, after a few tries downloading it. This book was really good. I have read a few other books in the series. I love the books that Maisey Yates writes. This one was steamy, romantic, and heartfelt. The ending was really good, I had tears in my eyes. I am hoping there will be another book in the series. I'm grateful that netgalley and the publishers let me read this in exchange for an honest review.

Another winner in the Four Corners Ranch series! This is the book I've been waiting for- I loved finally learning Landry and Fia's story. Throughout the series they have hated each other and we finally learn why - and it was even better than I could have hoped for.

Fans of the genre will love this book. While part of a series, this is a stand alone novel, however it's so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all. The author is on my must read authors' list.

Maisey Yates has done it again. I have read all of this series so far and the story of Landry and Fia has been the one I've anticipated the most. Let me tell you, it's everything I thought it would be. I really enjoy the characters at Four Corners, how they all are interconnected, and the life they have made for themselves overcoming toxic families and creating their own.

Thank you NetGalley for an Arc of Her for the Holidays by Maisey Yates
