A Feel good story with two HEA's。 The trip to the ranch was to be a final good by to their Grandfather and to the family ranch。 Things did not go as planned。 Between Christmas， two cute 6 year old twins and the heat between the characters you just know the ranch will stay in the family and four of the characters will be more than just fine with that。 A Feel good story with two HEA's。 The trip to the ranch was to be a final good by to their Grandfather and to the family ranch。 Things did not go as planned。 Between Christmas， two cute 6 year old twins and the heat between the characters you just know the ranch will stay in the family and four of the characters will be more than just fine with that。 。。。more

I just love RaeAnne Thayne's books; she really knows how to tell an engaging story。 Her newest， Sleigh Bells Ring， gave me all the feels: I grieved with the Sheridan family; I laughed and cried with a couple of six-year-olds; and， I was enthralled as Tate and Annie found their way to an enduring love。I read an advanced copy of this book I just love RaeAnne Thayne's books; she really knows how to tell an engaging story。 Her newest， Sleigh Bells Ring， gave me all the feels: I grieved with the Sheridan family; I laughed and cried with a couple of six-year-olds; and， I was enthralled as Tate and Annie found their way to an enduring love。I read an advanced copy of this book 。。。more

Another wonderful book by RaeAnne Thayne。 Everything you want to read at Christmas and very heartwarming。 Always look forward to her holiday reads and to me kicks off the Christmas season。 Even the cover draws you in to go out and cut down your own tree to decorate。 Loved the book！

I won this book on Goodreads。 It is a nice story of hope at Christmas time。 Annelise is a live-in caretakers for the Angel’s view ranch。 She has brought her niece and nephew to live with her until their father is out of jail。 The owners of the ranch want it opened up for a family Christmas。 She learns the property is going to be sold and wonders what she will do。 A romance with one of the owners solves that question。

There was something about this one that really hit me。 I often found myself smiling while I listened to the book， it just has a really good "feel good" feeling about it。I really loved Annie， loved her attitude about life and how much she sacrifices herself。 Had I been her when the ranch owner showed up out of the blue， I don't think I would have reacted with such grace， nor would I have probably jumped into help as much as she did。 The best thing about all of that was that Annie's actions never There was something about this one that really hit me。 I often found myself smiling while I listened to the book， it just has a really good "feel good" feeling about it。I really loved Annie， loved her attitude about life and how much she sacrifices herself。 Had I been her when the ranch owner showed up out of the blue， I don't think I would have reacted with such grace， nor would I have probably jumped into help as much as she did。 The best thing about all of that was that Annie's actions never felt forced， just the way she was。 You add that， plus her twin niece and nephew， who were adorable， it couldn't get much better。 I really liked how the Sheridan family found their way back to being close at the ranch， that having to do things for themselves， interacting with Annie and the twins just enhances their visit， not made it worse。I really loved the surprise the family had for Annie and the twins， loved how it was presented and how it helped in so many ways。The epilogue was great， right on for all of these characters and all of them getting their HEA's。 。。。more

So much love for this one！ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Second chance romance is such a fabulous trope。 Especially when everything is completely unexpected and seems almost random。 But with the Christmas spirit surrounding this story， this romance story is amazing。The author just hit it right with perfect balance and many different layers going on in the story。 There is stress and emotion， people struggling with so many different issues， avenues of complex feelings and healings。 But the author just spun So much love for this one！ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Second chance romance is such a fabulous trope。 Especially when everything is completely unexpected and seems almost random。 But with the Christmas spirit surrounding this story， this romance story is amazing。The author just hit it right with perfect balance and many different layers going on in the story。 There is stress and emotion， people struggling with so many different issues， avenues of complex feelings and healings。 But the author just spun it all into a beautiful， light hearted tale with her wonderfully deep characterization。It would be easy to allow the characters to be cranky or upset all the time with everything surrounding the storyline。 But Thayne took the highroad and brought us a totally endearing and touching story that was a delight to read。 Her characters were refreshing， very likable， kind and caring which totally made all the difference。I just love watching the development of the blossoming romance。 In Sleigh Bells Ring， we get not one， but two separate love interests。 This is a clean romance that offers an endearing story that is heartfelt and just so darn awesome。 This is the book to grab when you snuggle in， turn up the fire， and just escape。Thayne is becoming a definite go-to， one-click read for me。 I love her deep， compassionate， romantic stories that leave your heart singing and a huge smile for days！ I have so much love for this one！* full review - https://amidlifewife。com/sleigh-bells。。。* copy received for review consideration 。。。more

I love RaeAnne Thayne books so much。My mom found one of her books in a used bookstore probably 15 years ago and we’ve read them ever since。This is a Christmas book。There’s so many winter activities going on in it。What I love most about RaeAnne Thayne books is she doesn’t use foul language。Annie is a caretaker of Tate’s grandfather’s property。Tate returns there and doesn’t know what to expect with Annalise being there。He’s planning on having his family there to celebrate Christmas together。The tw I love RaeAnne Thayne books so much。My mom found one of her books in a used bookstore probably 15 years ago and we’ve read them ever since。This is a Christmas book。There’s so many winter activities going on in it。What I love most about RaeAnne Thayne books is she doesn’t use foul language。Annie is a caretaker of Tate’s grandfather’s property。Tate returns there and doesn’t know what to expect with Annalise being there。He’s planning on having his family there to celebrate Christmas together。The two of them along with her twin niece/nephew help to decorate and have fun together while preparing for his family to arrive。Please read this book！ 。。。more

A great festive read。Annie is a ranch manager， having taken the job so she can help out her family。 She is surprised by the ranch owning family turning up unannounced just before Christmas， and agrees to let Tate help her get the place ready for the festivities。 Will it be the last Christmas for the family at the ranch before it is sold off， and will they be pleased given the family tragedies that have taken place here？I received an ARC of this book in exchange for a voluntary and honest review。

I love RaeAnne！ Another great Christmas， feel good， book。 Annelise McCade brought her niece and nephew to the Ranch to take care of them when her brother got into some trouble thinking no one would know。 Little did she know， the Sheridan family would show up for Christmas and to say goodbye to their Husband， Father， Grandfather， and turn her life upside down。 It makes you laugh and cry and warms your heart。

Annie has custody of her niece and nephew for the month of December; with their mother dead and their father in jail Annie is all they have。 But while her work and home life mix it's isn't a problem until the family who own the ranch， where she lives and works on， arrive home for the holidays; and the feelings she had for Tate Sheridan when she was younger are reignited This novel was all about family and kindness。 To help one another， show compassion and create Christmas miracles; and there was Annie has custody of her niece and nephew for the month of December; with their mother dead and their father in jail Annie is all they have。 But while her work and home life mix it's isn't a problem until the family who own the ranch， where she lives and works on， arrive home for the holidays; and the feelings she had for Tate Sheridan when she was younger are reignited This novel was all about family and kindness。 To help one another， show compassion and create Christmas miracles; and there wasn't only one set of love interests but two， which I loved。 Who could ask for anything more for a Christmas romance？I was really torn between Tate and Levi; if you've read this book who would you have gone for？The characters were realistic and not a single nasty or jealous character in sight。 This is actually how you want a town/family/group of people to exist。 This was a really quick read for me， I seemed to get into the narrative and the way it was told easily and fly straight through it; Simone writes with ease giving the reader everything they need to keep you going from animals， six year old twins and sleigh rides。 A great Christmas romance。 。。。more

If you’re looking for a delightful， charming Christmas story to warm your heart， Sleigh Bells Ring by RaeAnne Thayne should be your next read。 Thayne is one of my favorite authors， as I can always count on her for a lovely， clean and wholesome tale。 No one writes small-town romances better than she does。 The inhabitants of her towns are wonderful， kind-hearted people who are concerned for those around them。This story especially delighted me because I’ve been to the beautiful Star Valley in Wyomi If you’re looking for a delightful， charming Christmas story to warm your heart， Sleigh Bells Ring by RaeAnne Thayne should be your next read。 Thayne is one of my favorite authors， as I can always count on her for a lovely， clean and wholesome tale。 No one writes small-town romances better than she does。 The inhabitants of her towns are wonderful， kind-hearted people who are concerned for those around them。This story especially delighted me because I’ve been to the beautiful Star Valley in Wyoming many times， so I’m well acquainted with the area and could visualize it as I read。 The main characters， Annalise McCade and Tate Sheridan are realistic， endearing， and easy to love。 I enjoyed seeing their relationship change and grow as they work together to give Tate’s extended family a magical Christmas season。 To Tate’s surprise， even more magical is the way the neighbors come together to help others。“What’s the point of talking over the pulpit about how a baby changed the world if you’re not willing to help be that change yourself？”I heartily recommend this beautifully written Christmas tale to those who enjoy clean and wholesome small-town romances。 4。5 starsI voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy from author and publisher。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

Annelise （Annie） returned home to help her brother care for his twin children after the death of his wife and infant。 Annie took a job as a caretaker of the ranch that had once been owned by her family。 The ranch had been sold many years before to the Sheridan family and Annie’s father had been the ranch manager。 Wallace Sheridan， the family patriarch， had recently passed away and the entire family arrived， unexpectedly， to celebrate his life before selling the ranch。 Tate Sheridan was the first Annelise （Annie） returned home to help her brother care for his twin children after the death of his wife and infant。 Annie took a job as a caretaker of the ranch that had once been owned by her family。 The ranch had been sold many years before to the Sheridan family and Annie’s father had been the ranch manager。 Wallace Sheridan， the family patriarch， had recently passed away and the entire family arrived， unexpectedly， to celebrate his life before selling the ranch。 Tate Sheridan was the first to arrive to prepare for the others。 He was a few years older than Annelise and they hadn’t seen one another for many years。 He had been the school girl crush Annie had never forgotten。 There are so many guilty feelings among each of the family members， all for different reasons。 Angel’s View Ranch slowly works its healing powers。 I have enjoyed all of RaeAnne’s books but this one went to the top of my most loved。 Her characters are so real that you feel like they could by your friends or neighbors。 This is a book I will reread， not just at Christmas time。 I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Wow！ This was incredible。 RaeAnne Thayne really knows how to write a Christmas story！！ I was laughing & crying， and so sad when it was all over。 She could have written 500 more pages about Tate， Annie and all of their family members and I would have enjoyed every minute of it。 Sleigh Bells Ring was the perfect holiday story！*ARC provided for an honest review*

Angel’s View Ranch has always been special to Annelise， aka Annie， McCade grew up on Angel's View Ranch。 It used to be owned by her family until her grandfather sold it to billionaire Wallace Sheridan。 Wallace hired Annie as the live-in caretaker， but he recently died。 No one else in the family loves the ranch like he did， so the plan is to have a memorial service for him， then the family will sell the ranch。 Annie now has much on her mind。 Her brother， recently widowed， is serving a month in ja Angel’s View Ranch has always been special to Annelise， aka Annie， McCade grew up on Angel's View Ranch。 It used to be owned by her family until her grandfather sold it to billionaire Wallace Sheridan。 Wallace hired Annie as the live-in caretaker， but he recently died。 No one else in the family loves the ranch like he did， so the plan is to have a memorial service for him， then the family will sell the ranch。 Annie now has much on her mind。 Her brother， recently widowed， is serving a month in jail for repeated drunk and disorderlies， so his adorable six year old twins are living with their aunt。 The last thing she needs is to have unrequited feelings for Tate Sheridan。 With no cook available， Annie also needs to pitch in with meals and spend even more time with the Sheridans。 Tate is dealing with issues of his own。 He doesn't want to take over the Sheridan business， but loves working in their charities。 He also doesn't want to say good-bye to his grandfather。 He quickly falls for Annie and her niece and nephew， and the feelings are mutual。 Can they act on these feelings， especially as the family plans to sell her home？This is a predictable Christmas story， but it doesn't mean that it is not an enjoyable one。 I loved the characters， especially Alice and Henry， the twins。 They are adorable and totally honest and unaffected by all that is going on around them。 There is a lot of baggage within the Sheridan family that is the reason for them not coming to the ranch in years which adds so much to the story。 Throw in not one， but two romances that are sweet， yet love at first sight relationships。 Annie and Bree were best friends when they were young and it is nice to see that relationship rekindled。 With themes of guilt， forgiveness， grief， addiction and recovery， family， charity and Christmas Magic， this is a story that I definitely recommend。 I did a read/listen with this book and enjoyed both equally。 The audiobook is narrated by Stacy Gonzalez。 I enjoyed her performance very much。 She had great expression and tone while presenting this story。 She gave voice to the various characters that me to differentiate between the characters for the most part。 I did find her male voices sounded quite similar but it did not diminish my enjoyment of the story。 The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book upon request。 The rating and opinions shared are my own。 。。。more

Yet again， RaeAnne Thayne has given us a book that warms the heart and stirs the soul。 I did find several similarities between Sleigh Bells Ring and 2020's Christmas at Holiday House， which was fine because I loved that novel。 From decorating the home for an elderly person， a large gathering of people， a heroine with child（ren）， to a dashing well-to-do young businessman， this book has it all。 RaeAnne's stories are always entertaining。 Similarities or not， I always look forward to her tender， up Yet again， RaeAnne Thayne has given us a book that warms the heart and stirs the soul。 I did find several similarities between Sleigh Bells Ring and 2020's Christmas at Holiday House， which was fine because I loved that novel。 From decorating the home for an elderly person， a large gathering of people， a heroine with child（ren）， to a dashing well-to-do young businessman， this book has it all。 RaeAnne's stories are always entertaining。 Similarities or not， I always look forward to her tender， uplifting Christmas novels。 Having enjoyed every minute of Sleigh Bells Ring， I did not want it to end。 I recommend this novel wholeheartedly。 。。。more
