Romance

The Sassy Belles are back! I just love Vivi, Blake, and Dallas. I want them for my friends as they always have each other's backs and that is just what women need! Girlfriends!! SLEIGH BELLES is mostly about Dallas Dubois and Cal Hollingsworth. Finally, these two get together. But it isn't all sweet tea and roses. They have always liked each other and the attraction was there, but Cal thought Dallas was selfish and only did things to get ahead in her television career no matter who's toes she had to step on. One day, he sees her in a different light as she comforts one of the kids in a Christmas play that Dallas is directing. He decides to give her another chance and this is where the fun and laughs begin. Dallas and Cal were so cute together but with their track record, I found myself holding my breath waiting for something horrible to happen.

Dallas has always felt like an outsider looking in when it came to the Sassy Belles. That is what Blake and Vivi call themselves and Dallas was always their arch enemy. Blake is pregnant and getting married soon. Vivi is married with a new baby. When Blake approaches Dallas about leaving the past in the past and forgiving each other, Dallas feels like Alice falling into the rabbit hole. Is this a dream? Are they really going to be able to be friends? Read SLEIGH BELLES to find out. You will find yourself cheering Dallas on as she makes some life changing decisions.

I really love this series, Sassy Belles, and I hope Beth continues to write about my Southern girlfriends for the next ten years at least! SLEIGH BELLES pulls you right in to the lives of Dallas, Vivi, and Blake from the very first page and never lets you go. Sara Grace bonds with Dallas from the very start and their tender scenes will leave you with a lump in your throat and tears in your eyes. Nobody can dish up a Southern Christmas like the Sassy Belles. I love going back to visit Tuscaloosa and catching up with old friends. It makes me want to pack my bags and rush right down there.

SUMMARY

Join the Sassy Belles this holiday seasonβ€”it's Christmas, Southern-style! With her hair perfectly coiffed, nails freshly manicured and a heavy trail of perfume wafting behind her, local news reporter Dallas Dubois is sure she's about to kick her careerβ€”and maybe her love lifeβ€”into high gear. The director of the Tuscaloosa children's Christmas play has fallen ill, and Dallas is ordered by her station manager to take the reins. Everyone is shockedβ€”especially Cal Hollingsworth, who still remembers her as the Ice Queen from high school. If nothing else, Dallas has never met a challenge that a little lip gloss and a Chanel knockoff couldn't fix. But she has no idea how to relate to these kids, and their brutal honesty is giving her pause. Things are made even more complicated by the butterflies she gets whenever Cal is near… . But when long-lost family members reenter her life, Dallas's icy veneer begins to melt. And with Cal by her side, she soon realizes that it's what's under all the hair spray that counts. Sexy Southern fun…with a hint of magnolia!
