Cute story with a happy ending!
About this book:
From Savannah to Montana...
In 1916, Southern belle Alanna Lessing travels to Montana on a mission--to rescue her older sister from the influence of suffragettes and bring her back home to Savannah where she belongs. Alanna fears that her sister, Margaret, has allowed herself to be swept away by these newfangled beliefs. The Christmas season is drawing near, and sleigh bells are ringing among the snow-covered peaks. The charming town of Missoula begins to grow on Alanna, and so do a few of its inhabitants--particularly neighboring rancher Tanner Jacobs. Alanna takes it upon herself to turn Tanner into a true Southern gentleman. He plays along, in part because he likes being near her, and in part because he's intrigued by her very different way of life. Will their differences bind their hearts, or forever keep them apart?
Series: Theres another book called Wedding Belles, which Goodreads has marked as a series with this one. But, I havent read that one to know for sure or to see how they are connected.

Eeeek! This was such a cute story! Sleigh Belles had some great discussions about the Womens suffrage. It was neat to read about a woman who was against it, but it had the classic humor that you would find in any Janice Hanna book, that made the story-line light and not heavy.
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
