Sleigh Bells Ring (Hqn)

"[Thayne's] books are wonderfully romantic, feel-good reads that end with me sighing over the last pages." -Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Celebrate the season with this sparkling and heartwarming holiday romance that proves sometimes all you need is a little Christmas magic…

Employed as the live-in caretaker of Angel's View Ranch, Annelise McCade is just trying to make it through the holidays with both her sanity and her niece's and nephew's faith in the magic of Christmas intact. The six-year-old twins recently lost their mother, so Annie tells herself it won't be a problem to bring them to her workplace. The Sheridans haven't visited Angel's View in years, not since the patriarch, Wallace, died. They would never know the twins were there…until Tate Sheridan shows up out of the blue two weeks before Christmas.

But Tate surprises Annie by asking them to stay and help him get the house ready for one last family Christmas before the ranch is put on the market. Annie and Tate have three days to work their magic before the Sheridan clan arrives-and to work through the growing attraction between them. But Annie simply can't fall for the man who's about to put her out of a job and a home. Still, the sparkle of the season is impossible to deny…and this Christmas has surprises in store for everyone.

I needed a Hallmark movie type of Christmas story and this one turned out better than expected. I read a couple of others that were pretty awful. The plot is very predictable, but reading about how love heals a bunch of hurting and broken people helped this year. The writing is decent, though it does have some annoying editing errors. All in all it was a good read for this type of book.

Annalisa McDade had been close to Wallace Sheridan until his death. She lived at Angel's View Ranch and helped in running the ranch. The McDade's and the Sheridan's were closely connected. She knew that the ranch would now be sold and she had nowhere to go. She received word that the whole family was coming to spend the holidays one last time. She knew she would have her work cut out for their arrival. The only family Analise had was her brother Wes and he was a mess. The previous year Wes' wife passed away and sent him off the deep end. After so many run-ins with the law he was sentenced to thirty days in the county jail. They all lived in a small, close knit town and the judge was hoping that being away from his two children during the holidays would be a wake-up call. And that is just the beginning. I really can't write more without spoilers. I loved the whole family and friends and ranch help. They each made quite a contribution to the story. RaeAnne Thayne never disappoints. I loved every minute of this book and didn't want it to end.

I loved both the joy and sorrow which made the Christmas story more relatable for any family that truly loves each other
