Sleigh Bells in Valentine Valley
Valentine Valley #5
By Emma Cane
Published: October 28, 2014 – Avon
If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I can’t resist small-town holiday romances. There’s something about second chances, snow-covered main streets, and cozy taverns that just feels like a Hallmark movie in book form. I stumbled on Sleigh Bells in Valentine Valley by Emma Cane, and while I haven’t read it yet, it checks every single box for my winter TBR. Small-town charm? Check. Rekindled romance? Check. Christmas magic? You bet. Here’s a little more about the book in case it’s one you’d like to curl up with this season, too.
Return to Valentine Valley, where Christmas lights are twinkling and first love burns brighter the second time around…
Tony De Luca’s ex, Kate Fenelli, waltzes into his tavern and turns his world upside down. Once upon a time, they were everything to each other—first loves, first heartbreak. But life got in the way, and they walked away with broken hearts.
Now Kate is back in Valentine, and the sparks between them are impossible to ignore. As Christmas fills the town with magic, Tony starts to wonder if the door to their past might open to a future neither of them expected.

Honestly, I’m a sucker for stories where exes reconnect, especially when it’s set during the holidays. I also love when authors bring readers back to the same cozy town across multiple books, and Valentine Valley sounds like one of those places I wouldn’t mind visiting again and again.
This one is sitting on my TBR, so if you’ve read it, definitely let me know your thoughts! Should I bump it to the top of the pile? I’ll report back when I’ve read it. ❤️
