"I found SLEIGHRIDE to be totally entrancing. The method of time travel was refreshingly unique. An interactive cast of characters whose feelings and actions were realistic and held true to the time period made the story even more fascinating. And the final plot twist is completely unexpected yet most satisfying. SLEIGHRIDE is a worthy addition to the world of time travel and a must read of all fans of romance."
4 Stars! ~ Tiffany Wilkerson for Scribes World Reviews

"SLEIGHRIDE is a complicated dance through time.  Smooth, natural dialogue and an intricate plot keep this excellent time travel moving quickly. There is also plenty of action and suspense to keep the pages turning. It's not until the very end that the truth is revealed to Rey and Kama, and it's a wonderful surprise. SLEIGHRIDE is a quick, charming read that will entertain from the first page."

"Sleighride is a fascinating and fun tale...  Ms Winters' depth of characters gives readers a taste of life in the early 1800s...  She uses an unusual plot twist in this story, but to say anything more about it would spoil the ending...  Take a Sleighride where snowstorms abound, but romance keeps you warm, in this different approach to the time travel theme."
~Brenda Gayle, The Write Lifestyle

"...I must say that in my opinion, C.J. Winters is gifted with a fantastic story-telling ability. She puts the reader right into the story along with her wonderful characters. Characters so "real" that you expect to look up from the page to speak to them...

"This book has everything: mystery, laughter and love... The love scenes are hot enough to pinken the ears... I don't know yet how many books this author has written, but I've got to find and read them all. They rate right up there with some of the best..."
5 Stars! ~Irene Marshall, www.escapetoromance.com

"...Sleighride is a multi-dimensional trip into the early days of American history and the hearts and minds of two delightful characters who yearn for something they think they can identify but are on the brink of losing...  Rich with sparkling, witty dialogue, this novel of love missed and lost and found is a delicious and satisfying look at how we can be blind to the very thing we want the most desperately.

"Ms. Winters is a masterful wordcrafter, vividly delineating life in the tiny village of Overbridge with the perfect details to make it come alive, then populating it with characters who are unique and delightful in their complexity.  She weaves the mystical elements of Kama and Rey's journey of discovery with a light, deft hand that enthralls from first page to last.

" This is a romance novel that harks back to the origins of the term romance, a story of love and death and mysteries that slowly untangle to reveal a truth that is universally applicable...  Sleighride should be on the must-read list of anyone who appreciates vivid characters, compelling pacing and good, solid storytelling."
~Elizabeth Burton, The Blue Iris Journal

C.J. Winters does a wonderful job of weaving the twenty-first century with the nineteenth. The language of the period and images of the costumes are vivid and realistic, while the humorous presentation of Kama and Rey as a modern day Laurel and Hardy keeps you captivated. There's a little bit of everything in this wonderfully written novel-intrigue, romance, mystery, suspense, and true love. Add all that to a surprise ending and you have a wonderful read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Sleighride and I highly recommend it.
4 Hearts review by Brett Scott ~ The Romance Studio

"I can't tell you what a wonderful ride Sleighride was for me!
...I refuse to do anything that would give the ending away. Let me just tell you it has more twists and turns than Space Mountain. To say the ending took me by surprise would be the understatement of the year. I just kept muttering, "I didn't see that coming." Bravo, Ms. Winters, for shocking an avid reader who isn't easily shocked."
Overall rating 4.5
