| Kate
Fenelli's desire to be a successful attorney has always been
her dream. She eventually becomes a junior partner at law
firm in Vail - at the cost of her marriage. Years later, Kate
is heading back to Valentine because her law partners put
her on sabbatical. Kate is planning to celebrate Thanksgiving
and Christmas at her parents. Her ex-husband, Tony DeLuca,
and her son, Ethan, live in Valentine. Tony runs Tony's Tavern
and his sister is Kate's former best friend. Kate may be feeling
like a failure where her job is concerned but, just wait until
she's forced to face past choices and future possibilities.
In layman's terms: Scrooge ain't got nothin' on her.
This is my first Valentine Valley novel. I took Kate and Tony's
story as a standalone. The only time I felt confused was when
the secondary characters started adding up - some I believe
from past Valentine titles and possibly for future ones. However,
it didn't stop me from enjoying Sleigh Bells. The
moment I opened the cover I was lost in the world of Valentine.
Cane paints as beautiful Christmas scene in our minds. She
gives readers full-bodied characters and an emotional storyline.
Kate is a heroine you're tempted to judge but can't because
you witness her inner most thoughts. Tony is the hero you
hope is ready to forgive. Valentine Valley is a town filled
with family and friends looking out for each other. To me,
Sleigh Bells in Valentine Valley is more than just
a romance; it's a beautiful story about coming home. I'm quite
certain readers will enjoy watching this love story play across
the pages. I know I did.
