Sleighed: A Friends-to-Lovers, Small Town Romance (Maynards of Severton Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Annie Dyer (Author), Eliza Ames (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 383 ratings
❄️He ploughed a path straight to her heart…❄️

Zack Maynard likes to keep things simple in his small town: he runs his care home for the elderly, spends his evenings at his brother’s bar and climbs the hills and peaks of his area. His life is going just fine until Severton’s newest resident opens her hotel, steals his builders, complicates his life and makes him crave more than just her baking.

Sorrell Slater thought she’d be starting her hotel with a husband; instead she’s in a new town, with a new business and trying to begin a new life as a single woman, and she isn’t entirely sure she can do it. However, Severton isn’t a place that lets anyone struggle on their own, and Zack is more than happy to be her tour guide. As much as she tries to keep him in the friend zone, his persistent charm keeps ploughing through her barriers, right towards her heart.

But Severton is a town of secrets, ones that have been buried beneath the caves and peaks of the area. As independent as she’s become, this time Sorrell might just need Zack’s help to escape something deadlier than she thought a small town could hide.

Sleighed is the first book in the Severton Search and Rescue Series.

    4.5 Stars.....
    Sleighed is the first of several books in the Severton Search and Rescue series. Delightfully, this is also my first experience with this author. I actually came across this book last year during the holidays. As with several other Christmas romances, I added it to my ever growing TBR. I tried very hard to read all the books I added for the holidays but sadly life got in the way hence why Sleighed was one of my first holiday reads of this year.

    I loved it! This book was very well written with angst, suspense, plenty of heat and a cast of amazing, complex, entertaining secondary characters. The only negative issue I had was all the English terms and euphemisms. Sadly, though understandably, I was thrown off my reading flow a few times trying to figure out the meanings. No worries though, all is good. Because I enjoyed this book so much, there was no way I would pass up reading the next two books in the series. Proudly, I can say, that by the time I finished reading book three, I had enough of an understanding to truly enjoy the books without hesitating.

    Since the blurb gives you great insight as to the premise I won't repeat any of that. However, I will tell you there is a suspense/danger aspect that continues throughout the series. While each book resolves with the current dangers, there are greater and more dangerous elements that unfold. At the time of this review, I have already read the next two books in the series. There will be at least two more books with the potential for more should the author choose to continue. As I mentioned earlier, there are many secondary characters to choose from. I am very excited for book four and will definitely be stalking the author so I don't miss the release.

    Zack and Sorrell......
    As the blurb infers, these two get off to a rocky start but it isn't long before Zack realizes Sorrell is special. And while Sorrell is intrigued and attracted to Zack, she is not looking for a relationship at this point in her life. The slow burn begins..... First, they become friends and then more. Zack was not only gorgeous and protective, he was a gentleman. Sorrell was a great character as well. Her generous and caring heart were a huge part of her personality. Both were amazing characters!

    The author gives us both perspectives which made this book an even greater enjoyment. This book takes place during the Christmas holidays. With a small town feel, loyal and protective citizens, this book was special for me. In addition to all the Christmas traditions, there were Pagan traditions too. The Pagan traditions, in particular, were delightful and even educational as they engaged and enthralled me further with the story.

    I highly recommend this book. I won't even have to tell you to read the series because I'm sure that after you read Sleighed, you'll be eager for the others.

    This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. :)

    I was so excited when I found out that Annie was starting a new series. Plus I love Christmas stories. Zack and Sorrell are such an adorable couple. This book definitely packs the heat. It's another family series, which is like crack to me. There is a little bit of mystery intertwined through the series. The right amount of humor. I was only have way through this, and I already couldn't wait until the next book. Annie has fast become one of my favorite authors. I recommend not only this book, but all of her others. Enemies to lovers trope. I received this book in exchange for an honest review, but I also bought a copy of my one because I enjoyed that much.

    Pretty good story line. Will keep an eye out for other books in the series, but will only read if I can "borrow" through KU. Author could benefit from finding a good proof reader to clear away errors, which are distracting.

    I really enjoyed Zack and Sorrells story! I read this straight after finishing the Callaghan Green series. I love the banter between Zack and his brothers and I like the feel of the small town and how everyone gets on. And I'm loving this cover, it is gorgeous 😍. Sorrell keeps Zack on his toes while trying to get a hotel business off the ground that her ex fiancé left her with. Zack is also very swoon worthy! A great read and start to a series!

    Well ok they're alpacas but that didn't flow so well off the tongue.

    I had such fun reading this book.

    The romance was a slow build, she was on the rebound, he was being careful and the anticipation was delicious.

    The Christmas element made this a winner for me and it's set locally so I was constantly picturing places I know while reading. It is expertly described.

    I love the people in the town, their interactions and can't wait to read more.

    Annie, I think you'll find your family are happy for you to ignore them while you write book two, I'm sure they'll be as happy as us to find out what develops in book two ;)

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not just a Christmas romance
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 1, 2023

    This is predominantly a Christmas romance but I was getting the creeps every time the characters discussed the ghosts within the hotel. The romance between Sorrell and Jack is very steamy when they finally break down to the pressure of their feelings. Zack is the one putting things on hold since Sorrell has just come out of a relationship where she was soon to be married. At one point Sorrell kept mentioning she was due to get married that day multiple times and she started to sound like a broken record.

    I really wanted to enjoy Sleighed more than I did but associating which character was which became very confusing at the beginning. There were two many new characters thrown in at one time with very similar looks and characteristics. The story was set up for a typical romance with the Mountain rescue team for added theatrics.
