About this listen
For Nicole Robinson, Christmas means returning to the family home in Hebden Bridge with her sister Beth and their brother Liam, who has lived with permanent delays since a childhood accident. Though Beth and Nicole have grown up and moved away, every December the Robinson kids reunite for a month of family and festive traditions.
One tradition, however, has always stood out: the mysterious source of the sleigh bells they’ve heard every Christmas for as long as they can remember. The magic of it all keeps them searching year after year, convinced the answer is just one clever plan—or perhaps something more magical—away.
And while the Robinson household is brimming with holiday cheer, Nicole’s love life is anything but merry. Every year, like clockwork, she finds herself single by Christmas—dumped by one girlfriend after another who can't handle the intense month-long family tradition. This year is no different, and Beth has even made her an Advent calendar to track her sister’s inevitable seasonal breakups. But a familiar face from the Robinsons' past begs to ask if maybe, just maybe, Nicole’s luck is about to change.
Niamh, a childhood friend of Liam’s and the only one who stayed by his side after the accident, has returned to Hebden Bridge. A decade away has turned her into a stunning Irish woman with raven hair and sparkling green eyes, and as the scent of hot chocolate fills the air, she stirs something warm and unexpected in Nicole.
Can Niamh fit into the Robinson family’s quirky Christmas traditions, or will this holiday romance end like all the others? As sleigh bells ring and festive cheer fills the air, Nicole just might discover that the real meaning of Christmas isn’t in the mystery of the bells, but in the magic of love.

Story
Penelope Boswell is my best friend. She’s my person. She’s who I call when I have good news and bad. She’s my comfort. My solace. But in the same breath, she’s my want, my longing, my ache. She isn’t mine. She never will be. It’s a special kind of cruel to be in love with someone you shouldn’t. To know your heart beats for someone you can never have. One phone call in the middle of the night, two thousand miles between us, and everything changes. She’s hurt. Sad. Broken. She needs me. He broke her, and now it’s my responsibility to step in and pick up the pieces…

Sleigh Bells Ring
I love the Robinson family! They are loving, supportive, fun, always welcoming... a wonderful bunch!
I absolutely love their Christmas traditions! Spending the whole month of December with your family doing winter things sounds amazing! The parents were great, the siblings & close friends were funny. Nicole and Niamh were acrobatic lol... and hot!!🔥🔥🔥
And then there was Pat 🤨, but I liked how Nic handled her.
Anyways, this is another holiday favorite for me!
Lillia Green did a fantastic job with the narration!

Sleigh Bells Ring Slays It!
Like the perfect cup of spiked eggnog, this Christmas story hit the spot. It has all the usual tropes you expect. Plus adds a dash of mystery, high jinks, slapstick, athletic and acrobatic hookups, an expansive definition of family, and enough good cheer and Happy-Ever-After for all. This story was fun and a joy to read. It leaves you feeling happy and satisfied. Will add it to my reading list to get in the holiday mood every December.
I also listened to the audiobook. I'd advise earbuds/headphones if you're not alone. Lillia Green did a great job as narrator. But if I could ask Santa for one more thing... More of Niamh's Irish brogue please!!!

A Heartwarming Holiday Romance
Sleigh Bells Ring by Alyson Root is a charming holiday romance that perfectly captures the magic of Christmas. Narrated beautifully by Lila Green, this sweet and steamy tale is packed with warmth, humor, and just the right sprinkle of holiday cheer to make it a delightful seasonal read.
Nicole Robinson’s family is the heart and soul of this story. The Robinson household, brimming with festive traditions and unconditional love, feels like stepping into the cozy warmth of a Hallmark movie. Nicole’s bond with her siblings, especially with her brother Liam, whose childhood accident has left him with permanent delays, is so beautifully written. The family’s yearly quest to solve the mystery of the sleigh bells is endearing and adds a touch of holiday magic.
Nicole’s love life, however, is a different story. Her yearly pattern of Christmas breakups has become such a running joke that her sister Beth makes her an Advent calendar to mark the countdown to her inevitable seasonal heartbreak. But this year brings a twist: Niamh, a childhood friend of Liam’s, returns to town. Grown into a stunning Irish woman with an undeniable spark, Niamh quickly turns Nicole’s unlucky-in-love streak on its head.
The chemistry between Nicole and Niamh is fantastic—there’s an easy connection and warmth between them that makes their budding romance feel natural and exciting. The steamier moments are well-balanced with the sweet and tender ones, creating a romance that feels both playful and heartfelt.
Lila Green’s narration is as solid as ever, bringing depth and emotion to the characters. Her performance captures the love and closeness of the Robinson family while also highlighting the simmering chemistry between Nicole and Niamh.
This book isn’t just about romance—it’s about the importance of family, tradition, and finding joy in the little things. You can feel the love and warmth in every interaction between the Robinsons, making it impossible not to root for Nicole to finally find happiness, both in her love life and within herself.
If you’re looking for a holiday romance that’s equal parts sweet and steamy, with a strong focus on family and holiday magic, Sleigh Bells Ring is a fantastic pick. It’s the perfect read (or listen) to cozy up with this holiday season!

“Sleigh Bells Ring” by Alyson Root, narrated by Lillia Green
I can’t even begin to describe how happy this book made me! Everything about it was amazing.
Nicole and Niamh are cautious because of prior relationships but they are also loyal, caring, giving, fun, sexy, and adorable as hell!
The whole Robinson family and extended family and friends are delightful. And there are LOTS of funny scenes that made me laugh out loud!
It was extra special that some of the characters and Christmas traditions are based on the author’s real life! This book is seriously wonderful!
The narration by Lillia Green was spot on. She brought the characters to life in the best of ways!

Absolutely adorkable
I received a free copy of this book for an honest review. I absolutely loved it! There were so many parts that made me giggle nonstop and the overall story was fun and cute! The narrator did a nice job and has a lovely voice. There is an Irish character who didn’t sound very Irish to me but I am also American so I’m sure what I think of as “Irish” is heavily pronounced.
I would definitely recommend this book to others and see it being a yearly holiday read for me!

Such a fun holiday story with depth
I listened to the audiobook. It was such fun. The narrator does good voices. I did notice a few issues with the audio quality, though, which I didn't really understand, and there was also some repetition, not sure if that's the fault of the narrator or the author, but I'm assuming the author. This author is becoming my go-to Christmas book author. The story is just so charming and cute, but also real and romantic. Liam is so sweet and lovable. All the characters are! And the story is a touch magical, in the relationship and otherwise. I don't want to say more because spoilers.
