Sleigh Bell Sweethearts

Alaskan Wilderness #3

by Teri Wilson

Second Chance Yuletide

Owning her own plane is all charter pilot Zoey Hathaway's ever dreamed of. So when she inherits a struggling reindeer farm, with three dozen unruly reindeer and one dangerously attractive ranch hand, Zoey's well-crafted plans seem to fly out the window. Now she must put her trust in Alec Wynn, and hope that the troubled cowboy's past won't interfere with her plans to save the farm. Zoey knows that if she wants to succeed, she can't do everything on her own. But as she accepts Alec's help, she'll soon realize it's not just her farm that's at stake; but her heart.

Oh my goodness! 5++++++ stars!! Sooo good, sweet and romantic!!! The ending not only surprised me but it was super romantic!

[Monica · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great magical Christmas story. I can definitely see this as a Hallmark movie. The setting with the reindeers and reindeer farm and the characters was sweet. Had to stay up all night to find out how it ended. Had me hooked. I read this book out of order of the series and I'm glad it doesn't matter so much. Great job!!

[Jolene · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved the reindeer theme! Palmer the bad reindeer stole the show. Teri Wilson does a great job of putting you in Alaska! This was a true joy to read.

Excellent Book!! Really loved the characters! This is the first book that I have read by this author. Will definitely be looking for more of her books.

A wonderful Christmas duo.

Sleigh Bell Sweethearts by @teriwilsonauthor is a charming clean Christmas romance that will have you wiggling your toes by the fire in happiness.

Northern Lights of Christmas is the Hallmark movie production of the book. A fun Christmas movie full of magic.

Both are excellent representations of the Christmas season. The movie is different than the book and not in a bad way. No matter if you read then watch the movie or vice versa you will be happily entertained.

I loved the book more mainly because Palmer, the reindeer had a much bigger role and made the story stand out.

Fix a mug of cocoa and relax spending time in Aurora, Alaska.

Christmas feels

Such an enchanting story of Christmas magic. In other words, Christmas grace. I felt I was just as unable to see a solution to the problems as the heroine. But in typical Christmas romance fashion, problems can melt away like snow. I’m always grateful for a happy ending. Thanks Teri Wilson for your wonderful words and whimsy.

This is the 1st book I read by Teri Wilson. I'm sorry I stopped reading this story at chapter 3 because it didn't hold my interest.

A cute Christmas romance!

[Connie · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5⭐️ What's not to like about Christmas, Alaska, and reindeer? Palmer stole the show in this book and would have loved to read more of his antics. A quick holiday read.

[Elizabeth · Rating 3 out of 5]

A cute romantic Christmas story in an Alaskan backdrop. I left like I was in Alaska for the holiday season which was a treat!

[Kaye · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.75 stars

Cute, clean story, not too heavy on the religious elements. However, I did find myself skimming the long paragraphs of introspection since both of the main characters spent most of their time alone in the story. However, even when they were with other characters, there were issues with the introspection---for example, in a conversation, one of the secondary characters would say something that would initiate about three paragraphs (or more) of introspection before the main character would respond.

However, it was a light, lighthearted read and perfect to get into the holiday spirit!

[Stacy · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was sweet, but there wasn't enough logical build up for the romance, and the change of heart they both have. It was clean; there was a good amount of religion included, the characters were good, there just wasn't enough relationship detail. The details about Alaska and reindeer were good, but didn't leave enough room for the rest.

[Bonnie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sleigh Bell Sweethearts was a wonderful Christmas Holiday Romance books. I loved it and will read it again. It was funny at times. Zoey inherits a reindeer farm. She knows nothing about reindeer. One keeps getting out and causes problems for Zoey. Alec was working for the first owner when he passed away. Alec stays on to help Zoey. Alec has his own past problems. Loved the outcome.

"The importance of family and friends is a key theme in the third book in Wilson's Alaska series. An Alaskan reindeer farm is the perfect setting for this holiday treasure. The humorous scenes, particularly with the reindeer, add to the charm of the genuine characters." RT Book Reviews, rated 4 1/2 stars

[Spring Baxter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Heart filled and realist, this book was romantically believable in a magical way. It wasn't grand enough that I couldn't put it down, but it was enjoyable. Throughout reading it I found I fell in love with the characters and even the reindeer. With it being a short book, it was a perfect beginning to the holiday season.

[Samantha · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this book!!!!! I couldn't put it down. When I did I spent my entire time thinking about it! I have passed this book on a friend so she too can enjoy it! defiantly a good read and put me right in the Christmas mood!

[Ruth · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book deserves 10 stars!!! It had me in tears one minute and hearty laughter the next!!! By far, the best Christmas book yet!!! So good, I will re-read this one!!!! Thanks Teri, for sharing your God given writing talent with us! May God continue His blessings!!!!

Wow. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading "Sleigh Bell Sweethearts." It was such a special Christmas story, and who wouldn't want to read about a reindeer farm around the holidays? The story line and characters were truly spectacular, and I look forward to reading more from Teri Wilson!

[Lana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sweet story - perfect for the holidays. Enjoyed the combination of Alaska, reindeer, Grinch, and a dog thrown in for good measure.

[June · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!!!

[Andrea Williams · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was very sweet and I really loved the reindeer part of it all. More "faith-based" than I would have expected, and overall very cute.

[Wilani Wahl · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful Christmas story! How special for it to be taking place in Alaska. This story is so creative and was such an enjoyable read. This will be a book I will want to read over and over again.

[Danielle Hartzler · Rating 3 out of 5]

I guess I'm the grinch but I didn't like the end. To say I was shocked would be an understatement... I needed more. It just felt incomplete and rushed.
