She’s supposed to make the sleigh fly. She’s not supposed to fall.
Allison Moreno came to Hollybend, Texas, for one fix the Grand’s Christmas spectacular, prove one disastrous Broadway production didn’t end her career, and get back to New York. She has three weeks, one temperamental flying sleigh, and absolutely no room in the schedule for distractions.
Especially not Rylan Miller.
Hollybend’s relentlessly helpful firefighter lieutenant has been voluntold into serving as both safety liaison and Firefighter Santa—a combination Allison finds equal parts ridiculous and inconveniently attractive. It doesn’t help that Rylan seems determined to get past the walls that have convinced everyone else in town to keep their distance.
Then an ice storm traps them together inside the Grand, and suddenly keeping things professional gets a lot harder.
As opening night approaches, Allison’s chance to return to Broadway finally arrives. It’s everything she’s worked for, and everything she thought she wanted. But somewhere between missed coffee dates, a house fire, a Santa suit, and a town that refuses to let her remain an outsider, Hollybend has started to feel less like a temporary stop.
And Rylan is becoming something far more dangerous than a distraction.
Because Allison knows how to build something that can fly.
Learning to trust someone enough to fall is another matter entirely.

What a heartwarming holiday romance!
The Sleigh To My Heart was my first holiday read for this year, and I’m so glad that I came across it. Allison and Rylan- what can I say about the two of them? I loved their story, and at one point I found it impossible to put the book down; I kept on turning the pages because I wanted to see how it would end for them. The banter between the two of them had me laughing so much and sometimes shaking my head. It was one of my favorite parts of the story; humor made it so much more interesting to read.
The pacing was perfect for this story; it flowed beautifully. I wasn’t prepared for how much I was going to fall in love with the characters, especially Rylan and Allison. ChristaCarol portrayed them in a way that makes you feel as if they are your friends. The Sleigh To My Heart gives the perfect holiday Hallmark vibes; I could picture it playing in my mind while I was reading.
I admired Allison, and despite a few challenges along the way, she kept on going. The tension between the two of them was hard to miss. You don't need spice for there to be a connection between the characters. That's another favorite aspect of this story. I don't mind spice, but sometimes you just want to read a sweet holiday romance. The Sleigh To My Heart is the type of holiday romance that I adore. This was my first book by ChristaCarol Jones, and now I cannot wait to check out her others. Highly recommend if you're looking for sweet holiday romance.
