Aw I loved that! Sleighed was super cute and perfect for the Christmas season. Sexy bear, a lost heroine, some Christmas magic and surprises along the way. Yes, it hit the spot.
The Gist: Pepper is on a dire Christmas mission. The first she's been given. And...she crashes the sleigh! Not only that but she loses her memory! Thankfully a wandering bear comes to her rescue and with his help and that of a few surprise individuals...Christmas is saved!
Pepper was cute. She's an elf who's lost her memory and doesn't have the most confidence in herself on a regular day. But she's sweet and kind and you can't help but adore her. And Bas... big sexy bear. Can there be enough big sexy bears? No, there really can not! He's a good guy and easy to fall for, too.
Their romance is fated so there's an initial attraction. Things are kept pretty innocent for a while due to her memory but it worked and eventually some steam came into play, too.
I enjoyed their mission. A race to save Christmas from a supposed evil doer. Some magical reindeer sidekicks, a little love and kindness. It was a fun ride that left me smiling and cheering them on, too.
All in all, Sleighed was the perfect shifery Christmas read.

What a wonderful Christmas paranormal romance. The first in a trilogy 3 friends each fine their mate at Christmas. In this book werebear Bas, meets Christmas elf Pepper, and after a wonderful adventure and lots of Christmas magic they get their Happy ever after!
And even better? I have the next two in the series. In the next one a werebear meets his mate - a fairy godmother and the last werebear meets his mate with the help of a fairy and a leprechaun!

Cute
Pepper has a sleigh wreck, falling on top of Bas Manners, but she can't remember who she is or what she was doing. She even forgets the sleigh. Bas recognizes her as his fated mate but thinks she might be "two sandwiches short of a picnic"
because she was dressed as an elf and all her answers to the questions he asks to try to jog her memory indicate an obsession with Christmas. When she does remember who she is and what she was supposed to be doing, Bas helps her with her mission.
Nice story, cute characters, a couple of tastefully described sex scenes.

**********Contains Spoilers**********
I enjoyed this book. I liked the connection between Bas and Pepper. Bas has taken some time off before Christmas to go to his cabin. Pepper was given the Job by Mrs Claus to deliver the gifts including the Christmas Magic to Krampus so he won’t harm the kids. On the way to make the delivery Pepper sees Bas walking too late and hits him in the head with the sleigh and they crash. She wakes up in a strange cabin with no memories apart from her name. She freaks out and tries to leave when she hears Bas as she thinks that he’s done something to her, not realising that Bas didn’t hurt her and never would since she’s his mate. Pepper, Bas and the Reindeer Shifters Dancer and Dasher make the delivery of the gifts to Krampus but will they make it on time to stop him from harming the kids. I’m looking forward to reading Kain’s story next. I’d recommend this book, series, universe and author to everyone.

I loved Sleighed! It is a magical Christmas fantasy you won't want to miss. Bear shifter, Bas, had been ready to find his mate but never expected her to drop from the sky! Christmas elf, Pepper, had one job to do. Just one. And she messed it up when she crashed the sleigh. If only she hadn't lost her memory when she crashed, she would be able to remember what that one job was. Two reindeer where taking Pepper on her mission when they hit a storm that had the sleigh nose-diving. Bas was heading to his cabin in a very remote area when he was hit by the falling sleigh. Join Bas and Pepper as she slowly begins to remember her "one job" and tries to do it so Christmas will be happy for all the children.
The paranormal elements and fairytale-like cast of characters kept me glued to the pages. This book gets 5+ stars from me.

Santa, elves, reindeer and a bear......
What happens when Santa's sleigh, pulled by two reindeer and driven by a curvy, Christmas Elf crashes into a bear named Barnabas? A bear and an elf find their mates!! Can a bear shifter lawyer who doesn't believe in Christmas believe his mate is a Christmas elf who has lost her memory when she crashed Santa's sleigh into him high in the mountains during z snowstorm? And who or what is a Krampus? To find all the answers you will need to read Sleighed, the 1st book in the the Christmas Bears series. The writing is outstanding, the characters fun and believable and the storyline charming. Highly recommended.

A cute book!
There are so many books out during the holidays and of course, they run on the same theme. So it's always fun when a new twist is found, as we have here. I also enjoy it when the author is from outside the U.S., because then we can find a turn of phrase that just doesn't seem logical when read. Just a "for instance", to us the words "fancy dress" would mean a suit or tuxedo for the gentleman, and most likely a gown for the lady. I had a laugh when the character's outfit was termed "fancy dress". It's a cute book, it's a fun book. I hope you enjoy it too.

I really enjoyed this bear shifter story, it's book one and was so cute. While Bas is a lawyer in the real world, he needs a few days away in his cabin to let his bear lose. He has no plans on finding his mate until he comes across a woman in an elf costume in the snow. Then everything changes for both of them. We get to meet Dasher and Dancer, who are Raindeer Shifters that pull Santa's sleigh. We even get to meet Krampus! This was such a different, yet enjoyable holiday read.

We’ve got your Christmas Spirit, Right Here!
More Christmas Spirit than you can shake a Krampus stick at! When unmated grumpy Bear Shifter Bas runs into frazzled Christmas Elf Pepper in a snowstorm, sparks literally fly. Amnesia, an invisible sleigh, Daddy issues and a mission to a (mostly) reformed Krampus all contribute to a far from smooth journey of fated mates coming together. Read with a cup of hot chocolate (with marshmallows and candy cane)for maximum effect!

I just want to let all know how great this book was! Enjoyed all the twists and turns and the love story!
The book was great! It was entertaining how everyone turned out being great and not expected to do all the good they did. Just goes to show you shouldn't judge anything by first impressions.

A great read that pulls you in from the start. You do need to believe in Christmas magic happening with this story. This is about Bas a lawyer/bear shifter who finally finds his mate and about Pepper the Christmas Elf falling from the sky so to speak. Of course, what would a Christmas story be without reindeer involved. Well written perfectly paced.

New ideas
It was a fun little read. I finished it in one sitting. I really liked the different characters, it was a great concept, and it added new elements to the Christmas world that I haven’t seen before. Fun shifter Christmas idea!

Flying bear???
I loved this book! The idea of a Christmas Elf falling from the sky and landing on a bear was great! And Krampus was hilarious! You have to read this! Thank you Harmony Raines.

Cute Christmas story that fulfilled my romantic side.
He's a lawyer. He doesn't believe in Christmas magic even if he is a bear shifter, imagine his surprise when he rescues a Christmas Elf.

Lots of Holiday fun
A great holiday read. This story has a magical ridiculousness to it that totally works for the season. If you are looking for something to get you in the Xmas mood, this is definitely it.

Loved it!!
It's all about Christmas Magic, and not just for the young at heart. The characters were perfect, a Christmas elf, a bear, two of Santa's reindeer (Dasher & Dancer), and lets not forget Krampus.. You just need to believe.....

When you read a Harmony Raines book you're looking for some escapist romance and nothing too complicated. This book takes this too far. The characters were beyond tissue thin and the plot wasn't anything much. I was very disappointed.

Sweet Christmas story!
A Sleigh, reindeer, an Elf,a bear shifter and Krampus walk into a in and the book to find out what mischief they get into in this story. A few racist areas but I think you will enjoy book 1in this series.

Fun Read
What would you do if your fated mate fell out of the sky on you? Well, Bas picked her up and took her to his cabin. Amnesia complicates things. I like the humor, romance, and action. I look forward to another book by this author.

Pepper and Bas
This is a very good, well written, holiday romance. The characters are interesting and lovable. Bas is a bear shifter and lawyer for the poor. Pepper is hurt in a fall. Read to find out how they met. Read and enjoy.
