Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Their Texas Christmas Redemption
Mindy Obenhaus · 2025
72/100
👍 Worth It
This hits all the marks a Love Inspired reader is looking for: a holiday setting, a baby as an emotional anchor, a second-chance romance with genuine stakes, and faith woven naturally through the resolution. Obenhaus is an established author in the imprint and the positive early reception suggests the execution is solid. It follows the formula closely, which is either a feature or a bug depending on the reader, but within its genre it delivers.
