Beautiful cover. The plot intrigued me right away, even if it didn't fully meet my expectations of the story.

Janet Dailey - The Sound of Sleigh Bells

A nice little story that takes place at Thanksgiving and Christmas time. A story about second chances, the mistakes of youth and the past reinserting itself into the present. A bit of drama and trauma that all turns into a rushed but expected HEA.

I feel as though this could be a Lifetime Channel movie. Its plot is a bit outside of Hallmark Channel, nicey-nice enough characters but a plot line that includes drug dealing, spousal abuse and prison stays.

*** My thanks to the Publisher and NetGalley. This is my honest review given in exchange for the ARC of this book. ***

What a delightful story!

In The Sound of Sleighbells, Ruth, newly divorced, wants to create new memories for her children. Everything is going well until she runs into the one man she once loved. But that’s not the only problem. She has a son with him, a son he never knew he had.

You couldn’t help but fall in love with the characters, the setting, and the overall storyline.

This Holiday romance is like a heart-felt warm hug for my soul. I adore Holiday romances and this one is one of the best by how it made me feel all warm and satisfied inside. Love Janet Daileys work and this one is no exception.

Enjoyed the book. Ruth had a difficult time by becoming pregnant as she graduated high school and later in life with her second husband. Things were finally starting to settle down when the father of her oldest child a son by the name of Skip was back in Branding Iron. Then to complicate things a person that was a cell mate of her second husband who is in prison for life came into town causing trouble. It was holiday time of the year Thanksgiving and Christmas and there was lots of activities happening along with the problem being caused by the released prisoners. It’s set in ranching country another good Janet Dailey book
