Editorial reviews

In Beth Albright's third installment of her Sassy Belles series, the holidays cause the heart of ever-polished "Ice Queen" Dallas Dubois to thaw. No one can be that perfect or that manicured, and in this audiobook Albright softens the harsh veneer of one of her sassiest characters.

Christmas in the South is all about family, and actress Allison McLemore can voice each eccentric member of the cast with humor, sympathy, and style worthy of an Alabama native.

Albright came to her storytelling skills honestly as a journalism major (at the University of Alabama of course) and through nearly 15 years in talk radio. And perhaps the author learned a little something about interpersonal drama through her long-time role on the soap opera Days of Our Lives.

Publisher's summary

Join the Sassy Belles this holiday season - 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 career - and maybe her love life - 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 shocked - 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!

Heartwarming

This story is full of conflicts and emotions. It shows people are not always what they seem and that sometimes they can change. Christmas Magic is in the air. The narrator does a good job telling the story.

Loved this book

Thank you audible for all three books. I agree with all the others about Dalles but Beth Albright pulled it off in making us enjoy Dalles. Looking forward to seeing if other books follow.

Best of the trilogy

If you could sum up Sleigh Belles in three words, what would they be?

Genuine fun deep

What other book might you compare Sleigh Belles to and why?

None comes to mind

Which scene was your favorite?

Dallas' third person point of view thoughts throughout the book as she heals and let's go.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Southern girl gets her man

Any additional comments?

I like Dallas the most. She is likeable and real. I did not like Vivian from a Wedding Belles and Blake is nasty and stuck up.

Another Great Sassy Belle Book

When I started this I thought there is no way I will ever like Dallas the main character after the first two books. I did by the end. I love this series and wish there were more in it. I love all the characters in the series.

Loved this whole series!

I was hesitant to listen to the last installment,l because of Dallas's character in previous 2 books, but I'm glad I listened. I loved it and couldn't wait to listen. Tied the whole story together. I wish that the story didn't end here! Highly recommend!!

Listen to all three

I thoroughly enjoyed all three books. I was hesitant at first with Sleigh Bells, but after listening for 15 minutes I was hooked. Stay with it. I hope you’ll love it like I did!
