Celebrate the season with this sparkling holiday romance, perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Dorthea Benton Frank, and Nancy Thayer!
I ran across this author a while back and have enjoyed every book of hers I have read. Our Library is now carrying her books and patrons like the clean romance with some spice added in.
Thanks to HQN and NetGalley for the ARC. I love getting the books early so I can tell patrons what it's about.

What a great holiday story for Tate and Annie. And the twins really added another dimension. Holidays should be for families and Tate's family had the best one and love too.

Sweetly sentimental. Filled with a love of family and friends through thick and thin. The joy found in giving and loving. I didn't want it to end. Felt like a great big hug.

Another great book from Raeanne Thayne!! Definitely a must read this Christmas season. Annelise is a care taker of a ranch in Wyoming, also caring for her Twin Niece and Nephew. Rate is the Grandson of the Ranch owner and her arrives back for one more family Christmas. They have not seen each other in over 20 years. This is a delightful read. Raeanne’s books are clean romances but have all the spicy elements. Do not miss it.

This was a wonderful book! I loved the story and the Christmas theme enhanced the story. I loved that the characters seemed real. I would definitely recommend this! It was hard to put it down once I began the story! The twins were charming and it was easy to imagine them excited about the holiday!

A charming stand alone Christmas romance from RaeAnne Thayne. It has everything, a wealthy, successful hero, a kind caring heroine and cute kids with problems. A fine holiday read.

I love to read a RaeAnne Thayne’s book. The two main characters are Annie and Tate. They meet when they were children on a Wyoming ranch. They meet twenty years later on that same ranch at Christmas and feel in love and married. They had some issues but with each other’s help made it through.

Received a copy of this book for review. Overall it is a good read for me. Love the chemistry between the main characters. Love all the characters. What I love is that each of them does make a difference to the story as it developed. Like to read how the characters In the story are interrelated to each other. It make the story more exciting to read. The setting of the story is nice and is fit nicely to the story. Love the family bonding in the story and I could help tear up at the end of the story when Annie reach her brother’s house and saw what Tate has been doing.

It's a Christmas romance. Cute kids, horses, sweet woman, man who doesn't realize that something has been missing, and yes even a sleigh. But this book goes a little (not much, but a little) deeper and looks at how guilt from the past can keep us from things (and people) we love in the present.

Like most of Thayne's books, this is squeaky clean with no suggestion of sex outside of marriage.

I'd like to thank the publisher for providing a review copy of this book via NetGalley. Grade B.

Annie McCade moved back to her home town to help her brother after her sister-in-law died, leaving him a single father to his two young children. She has been trying to help them hold it together for the past year while watching him struggle with the loss. When his drinking lands him in jail for a month, she takes in the twins. She has everything planned out; if she keeps to her schedule, she can take care of the twins, do her job, and finish all of the blankets she volunteered to make for a local charity. Then her former childhood friend and new boss shows up ahead of his extended family, the chef he hired is a no show, and she is running herself ragged trying to help everyone else.

RaeAnne Thayne’s Sleigh Bells Ring is a feel good light romance. There isn’t a huge conflict creating a lot of tension. The characters in the book are genuinely trying to help each other out. If you are looking for a little light holiday reading without the drama, this is for you.
