This was a really delightful and sweet christmas romance, perfect for the winter holidays. Although it isn't my favourite of RaeAnne's, I still had a lot of fun with it.

I must firstly apologise for the amount of time it has taken me to provide a review of this book, my health was rather bad for quite some time, something that had me in hospital on numerous occasions and simply didnt leave me with the time I once had to do what I love most.

Unfortunately that does mean I have missed the archive date for many of these books, so It would feel unjust throwing any review together without being able to pay attention to each novel properly.

However, I am now back to reading as before and look forward to sharing my honest reviews as always going forward. I thank you f0r the patience and understanding throughout x

This was a brilliant read and is being featured on my blog for my quick star reviews feature, which I have created on my blog so I can catch up with all the books I have read and therefore review.

**2.5 STARS**

This was SUCH a cute, fuzzy, feel-good Christmas romance that reminded me a lot of a Hallmark special (which is great). That being said, the book just wasn't for me — I found the plot quite slow at times, and the two romance plots a little unbelievable (particularly the speed at which Levi and Brie, two complete strangers, fell in love).

This book is great for anyone that likes:

• slice-of-life stories
• cowboys
• cozy Christmas decorating scenes
• adorable children

Despite the novel focusing mostly on Annie McCade, I found Brie to be the most three-dimensional character; I loved that she was facing the demons of her past and addressing the guilt she felt over her father's death. Her character ARC was the most interesting, in my opinion, and I wish we'd seen more of it.

On a more editorial note, I did notice 1-2 mistakes throughout the book (Thay and Levi's names were mixed up, during one scene with Brie) which took me out of the story. That being said, it was overall well done, and I have to give massive props to whatever graphic designer came up with this cover — it''s gorgeous!

**I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.**

A lovely, warm, festive read. Rather predictable but enjoyable nonetheless and the development of the love and characters of the two leads was very sweet. Fun, gentle and guaranteed to raise your Christmas spirits!

A really cute Christmas read that I think I’d have enjoyed more if I had felt in more of a Christmas spirit this year. But if you’re looking for a light, fluffy Christmas read with some redemption lines thrown in then this is the one for you!

SYNOPSIS: Ranch manager Annie McCade thought her twin niece and nephew could join her at the Angel View Ranch for Christmas with her absent employer being none the wiser. But when the ranch's owner, Tate Sheridan, shows up out of the blue, Annie's plans are upended. Soon she finds herself helping Tate make a Christmas to remember for his grieving and fractured extended family.

MY THOGHTS: Although this is the typical Christmas romance, with a pretty predictable plot line, I still enjoyed reading this book. It was so cosy and Christmassy.
I liked the the way the romance developed between Annie and Tate as well as Brie and Levi.
Angel View Ranch sounded like the perfect place to spend Christmas, and I loved reading as Annie, Tate and the twins decorated the Ranch ready for Tates family


I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys a cosy Christmas romance.

Thanks to Netgalley for sending me an ARC of this book.

I loved this story. It gives a warm, Christmas cosy feel and really pushes the message of the importance of family at Christmas time. It is the type of story shown in holiday movies on the Hallmark channel..and I’m saying that in a good way, I adore those movies. Warm, sweet and you know no matter what happens, good things will happen and everyone will have a happy ending.

Annie is such a warm and loveable character, with everything she has had to cope with and everyone she has to support and help, with no complaint, she is unstoppable.

This is such a great festive read with all the warm feels you would expect.

With Annie's boss away over christmas she decided to invite her niece and nephew to join her but then her boss turns up and her plans start to go awry. Annie needs to work with Tate to make christmas the best one yet.

I really enjoyed the story and it just screamed christmas movie which I would love to see it turned it to. A great holiday read.

I absolutely love this author’s books and when i saw that she had released a new Christmas book I just knew i had to read it.
Sleigh Bells Ring was a beautiful read,full of romance and contained the second chance romance trope, which I love.
I loved all the wonderful characters and how their stories developed throughout the book.
This was such a wonderful read that gave me all the Christmassy, festive feels…..

Ranch manager Annie McCade thought her twin niece and nephew could join her at the Angel View Ranch for Christmas with her absent employer being none the wiser. But when the ranch's owner, Tate Sheridan, shows up out of the blue, Annie's plans are upended.

This book gives out all of the vibes of a Hallmark Christmas movie. This novel is all about family and kindness. A sweet Christmas romance, it is an uplifting joy to read ahead of the festive season.

Rating 4/5

Thank you to the author and the publisher for allowing me access to this book and thank you to net galley for allowing me access to the website.

Firstly I think this fits very well in the romance comedy Christmas theme but I also think that this genre is very very over written and usually ideas such as this is hidden because there are so many books and advertising in this industry is really hard. On the other hand this is a really good book but I feel like it is getting very cliche and same to other books

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.

Such a cute Christmas romance. It doesn’t trivialise the problems that Annie, Tate and their families are going through but sprinkles love, joy, love and kindness around, such a feel good tale that can’t help but leave you smiling

This is a brilliant read I enjoy I loved the twins on this story they made my heart melt with joy and I loved the characters in this story to such a heart warming story you love. The writing style I loved and the story plot and setting was just perfect everything you love and need a perfect Christmas book I enjoyed.

This book definitely gave me those cosy hallmark Christmas movie vibes, and yes, there’s even a few cowboys and horses for those of you who like them….

Let’s not let that distract us from the book itself too much though. The main thing that I got from this book was the overriding sense of family and it’s importance, I think Anna and Brie were the characters that really drove this home for me.

Anna has given up her life in the city to return to her home town to look after her niece and nephew (who are just the cutest btw) and Brie is still suffering from the death of her father 20 years ago.

They both find themselves on the Sheridan’s ranch where they grew up, Anna working as the housekeeper and Brie back in the old family home and also, the scene of her father’s death.

Of course Brie is alone though, she’s actually come with the whole Sheridan clan and that includes her brother Tate (the guy Anna’s had a crush on since she was 11). It’s safe to say that this Christmas is going to be one to remember for everyone involved, and that’s before we mention the tree cutting and the sleigh rides!

I got so drawn into this book and found myself not wanting to put it down, I just wanted to know what was going to happen next. You couldn’t help but really feel for little Alice and Henry as they’ve been dealt a pretty crappy 18months and it’s about time they had something to really put the smile back on their faces!

Annie is looking after her twin niece and nephew after their mother died and their father, Annie's brother who couldn't cope ending up in jail. She didn't aske permission for them to be on the farm she works at. Then she finds out the whole family are coming to stay for Christmas. A lovely Christmas book.

VERY Christmassy, and I am 100% here for it.

I loved Tate - he is so caring and handsome and wholesome. And the twins are adorable too :)

When Annie brings her niece and nephew to her workplace for the holidays, she wasn't expecting her boss's Grandson to turn up with his whole family, for a huge Christmas gathering. Annie didn't tell anyone she had the twins living with her for a month or two, and Tate, boss's Grandson, didn't tell her the family would be coming to stay. What ensues is a panic to get the ranch ready for Christmas and a whole bunch of heartbreak and love along the way.

Very festive and will absolutely get you in the mood for Christmas. A nice quick read that you shouldn't take too seriously.
