Santa Claus is coming to town, and so are the Tucker sisters.
Never mind a pony. The Tucker girls have inherited their father’s horse farm for Christmas. Make that . . . a run-down horse farm. It needs some serious TLC in order to make it sell-ready. Joanna knows that by recruiting her sisters and one handsome ranch hand they can fix up the place and even celebrate one last Christmas while they’re at it. However, to Isabella, returning to their home in Kentucky bluegrass country for Christmas seems like an impossible hurdle. Can her Chicago boyfriend make life merry and bright again?
One thing’s for sure—nothing is peace on earth for Sophia as a new beau brings up old wounds. And when the fate of the horse farm is put in jeopardy because Amy accidentally fraternizes with the enemy, tensions rise. But it’s not like the land developer stole Christmas . . . just her heart.
Can the Tucker sisters have themselves a merry little Christmas?

4 novellas about the Tucker sisters that come home to KY for Christmas after receiving letters from their father that passed away shortly before that. Each sister has their own issues with their father, but with faith and each other they are able to overcome and forgive him. And of course each sister finds love, so that doesn’t hurt either!
I don’t know if anyone stands out more than the other but I do like how the authors worked together so even though these are 4 stories they run together seamlessly. I wondered how that would work, if they all collaborated on the town and certain points or if one author set up the background and they all used it to create their stories.
When it comes to the romance side, two sisters reunite with past loves/crushes, one sister deepens her relationship with her boyfriend and the last sister finds love again after being widowed. I do think in Amy’s case (the widow) that the love happened awfully fast, but it is a novella and sometimes love does strike that quickly.
This book will lift your spirits and leave you with a good feeling.

Looks lovely. I just love diving into Christmas as soon as possible. Great authors too! Thank you for the opportunity!
Thanks for your kind review of our book SLEIGH BELLS RING today! It was truly a collaboration. Sandie came up with the initial idea. She and I brainstormed the settinhg of the horse farm in Kentucky, and then each author built their characters, revolving about the premise of four sisters coming home for Christmas. Sandie and I acted as the general editors and made sure nothing in one story contradicted something in another story. We all had to understand each others characters, but it was amazing how the collection came together!
I hope everyone who reads it will come away with that warm Hallmark feeling of the importance of love, forgiveness, and the love of family.
Many blessings!
Barbara Scott
