Running the family B&B has always been Cassidy Ryan’s dream. But first, she has to save it from neglect.Closing the doors to the Silver Bell Inn for the holiday seasons seems like the perfect plan to give the B&B some much needed love and care. Or at least it would be if the inn didn’t need a lot more work than Cassidy can handle on her own. She needs help. But asking it is the last thing … last thing she wants to do.
Getting stuck in Silver Bell Falls was not part of Beckham Allen’s plans. Neither was this cross-country road trip, for that matter. He was supposed to be focusing on himself and on healing after the loss of his father. But nothing, not even his rescue dog Mazie, seems to be able to break him out of his funk.
Or so he thought until he met the sweet innkeeper who takes him in.
After an awkward start, Cassidy and Beckham discover the perks of being snowed in together. And with Christmas drawing closer, they find they may have just been given the greatest gift of all.

What a great way to get into the holiday spirit!! I have loved all of the Silver Bell Falls books and this is no exception. Cassidy and Beck are both wandering, not sure of their next steps. Cassidy has taken over the B&B her parents had after they retired to Florida. Beck is at the end of his incredible NFL career. But the loss of his father makes him realize he really hadn’t made plans for the end. So he take a cross country trip, adopting a dog along the way, to find his next place. As fate often does, they cross paths in Silver Bell Falls and it’s a HEA that is full of holiday cheer. Love catching up with the other characters, especially at the holiday in such a holiday filled town.
Is there anything better than a Samantha Chase Christmas romance? While that’s a rhetorical question, the answer is a resounding NO! Silver Bells Falls is a magical winter wonderland full of yummy holiday goodness, so it’s only natural that it’s newest visitor is a scrumptious former football player and his sweet rescue dog! Be still my heart!
Cassidy doesn’t expect guests this Christmas, since the Silver Bell Inn is closed for extensive renovations. But she can’t say no to a stranded stranger, even if she’s up to her neck in more jobs than she can handle. But can she also handle the confusing feelings Beck brings with him, knowing he’ll be leaving soon?
Beck and Cassidy are opposites who attract not only each other, but the reader’s heart as well. You can’t help rooting for them, and the very awesome and lovable Mazie, to find a way to stay together even after the snow stops falling.
Filled with sweet and steamy goodness, you’ll be longing to be snowed in with your very own bearded, gruff but cuddly hero!
The perfect Christmas read with all of the warm feelings of the holidays. Silver Bells is one of my favorite Christmas towns. Cassidy is trying to get her inn remodeled by herself when a snowstorm hits and a stranger with his dog gets snowed in. Beck is on a road trip seeing the sights after his dad died and he left his career as a professional football player. Both are at crossroads in their lives and soon a relationship develops that they can’t deny.
This story will give you plenty of warm fuzzies, from all of the mentions of comfort foods, wonderful friends, Christmas decorating and being out in the snow , plus did I mention the sweet romance. Loved Mazie too!! I wish we all had a Beck in our lives. This is a book that I could not put down, I highly recommend!!
Happy Holidays!! This story made my heart sigh and very, very happy. This was such a sweet and beautiful story of two lonely people who weren’t looking for love but the fates decided differently. I believe in holiday magic and this story is exactly the inspiration of that belief. Beckham is a sexy ex pro football player whose missing his dad and is on a journey to memorialize him when by accident he meets Cassidy. She is a strong, independent and very sweet woman who is trying to live her dream. These two together are so perfect for each other and I’m so happy they figured it out. If your looking to escape the holiday dramas then this story will do that for you. I couldn’t put it down.
Cassidy and Beckham’s love story was amazing, emotional, and unexpected for both of them. I absolutely loved reading Christmas Inn Love by Samantha Chase book five in her Silver Bell Falls series. With the retirement of her parents, Cassidy Ryan has taken over the running of the family B&B and decided to bring it into the 21st century with an update. Closing the Inn for the holiday season seemed like the perfect plan but the B&B needed much more love and care than Cassidy could handle by herself. Although she needs help, asking for it is the last thing she wants to do; as she wants to prove she can handle this on her own. After the death of his father, former NFL player, Beckham Allen took a cross-country road trip to visit all the places his dad had wanted see as well as try to heal. Nothing, not even a rescue dog, Mazie, he saved while on the road, could get him out of his funk; at least until an accident forces Beckham to stay in Silver Bell Falls and at the B&B with the beautiful and sweet innkeeper. As Cassidy and Beckham discover, there are numerous perks to being snowed in together; not just getting to know each other. As they spend time fixing up the inn and talking, these two discover how similar they are as well as how well matched they seemed to be; despite the size differences. The attraction and chemistry between Cass and Beck is off the charts and hard for others to miss; yet, they could not believe they could fall for each other that quickly. As Christmas approaches, Cassidy and Beckham find that they just might have been given the greatest gift of all. Love.
Ms. Chase once again provided an amazing tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, and endearing characters; providing, along with a little Christmas magic, Cassidy and Beckham with a chance for happiness, a future together, and everlasting love. I highly recommend Christmas Inn Love to other readers.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
Put me Inn the Christmas Spirit
Wow! This book! I have coasted into autumn without a thought towards the holidays, until this book! I was practically humming Christmas carols as I read this!
For me, the books are all about the characters, the story, and the writing … and this book ticks all boxes.
The characters are classic Samantha Chase, realistic, solid, and well developed. The main characters, Cassidy and Beckham are terrific… they are on an emotional journey, both struggling with the “what’s next” part of their lives. Ms. Chase’s writing reminds me of growing up in a small upstate NY town where snowstorms and blizzards would bring the town together! Reading this makes me me wish I could transport myself to Silver Bell Falls to ride out the storm
Cassidy is struggling to make it on her own with the weight of re-opening her family’s Inn on her shoulders. She wants to do it on her own to prove to everyone, and herself, that she can do it. She’s honest, good to her friends, and super sweet and it doesn’t take much for her flare for creative, G-rated, holiday-minded swearing to come out.
Beckham is a retired NFL sportsman who has finally slowed down enough to mourn the recent death of his father. He’s on a journey to visit all the places on his father’s wish list. Along the way, he picks up a dog (Mazie), and together they find themselves stranded in Silver Bell Falls. As he waits for the snow to stop falling and the roads to clear, he realizes that he might have found his “forever home” in Silver Bell Falls and with Cassidy.
Ms. Chase’s skillful writing weaves family and friends into the story. If you haven’t read any of them, you won’t suffer … although you’ll want to read those too! The other characters, from previous books, make you feel like you’ve gone home for a visit. They all support Cassidy, realize that Beckham is more than his famous image, and cheer them on as a couple.
The story is sweet, with a HEA, with a few twists that will keep you engaged in the story.
If you’re looking for something to either get you into the Christmas spirit … or keep you there, download Christmas Inn Love immediately. Put some Christmas music on in the background, grab a plate of cookies, and settle in for a lovely treat! You’ll want to keep it on your “holiday re-read” shelf because it will quickly become a seasonal favorite.
Holly Sleigh-bells! “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!”

Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Cassidy and Beckham) CHRISTMAS INN LOVE follows the building relationship between B&B owner Cassidy Ryan, and former professional football player Beckham Allen. Days before Christmas Beckham Allen found himself snowbound in the small town of Silver Bell Falls, New York when his vehicle spun out of control injuring himself and his dog Mazie. With no available lodging Beckham is forced to take a room at the Silver Bell Inn B&B, where the proprietor struggles to accept Beckham at face value.

5 star review of Christmas Inn Love (Silver Bells Fall #5) by Samantha Chase
I love stories based around Christmas, it’s my most favourite holiday of the year. I also love stories based in small towns so Christmas Inn Love is a win/win for me.
I have read several books by Samantha Chase and I found this one to be as well written and enjoyable as her previous books.
Cassidy Ryan is running her family’s B & B, Silver Bell Inn but first she needs to close and renovate it.
When she opens her doors to Beckham Allen and his dog Maize after a car accident, she has no idea how her life is about to change.
I loved the build up in Cassidy and Beck’s relationship as they are snowed in. Getting to know one another , the chemistry between them intensifies.
This is a feel good book that left me with a smile on my face and certainly got me in the mood for the holiday season.
Very cute holiday story to get you into the mood to celebrate! 5 golden rings for this one!
Meet Cassidy, she’s just taken over her families B & B and has it closed down to update and renovate it. When a big snow storm hits Silver Bell Falls, her friend asks he if she can take in a man, Beckham, and his dog in for a few days till his van that ran off the road is fixed. Cassidy is terrified of dogs, and the Inn is no where ready to host a guest. When she meets Beck, she’s instantly attracted to him, but doesn’t want to cross the line of sleeping with a guest. How long can they resist each other?
I enjoyed this story, I’m sure you will too!
