Feeling worthy of love is sometimes the hardest battle.

Ryan
The moment I landed in that war zone, I knew I'd made a big mistake. I wasn't a soldier, and my good intentions almost got me killed. Being wounded and shipped back home to Canada was both a blessing and a curse. I’m safe now, but I can’t stop thinking of the men I left behind. My therapist claims Healing Horses Ranch will help heal my wounds—physical and mental—but I'm not sure how much tranquility and wholesome fresh air I can take. But then I meet a beautiful, shy man who makes moving forward seem almost possible. Can I let go of the past and reach for a future with Simeon?

Simeon
I've made peace with being different from the folks around me. I love my home in Mission City, and if anyone needs something fixed, I’m the guy they call. When the owner of the therapy ranch hires me for a big project, I’m excited to get started. I always work alone, but one of the patients keeps hanging around, and I can't bear to send him on his way. I can see how much he's hurting. If helping me helps him, that's a win for us both. As we share the work, something about that wounded man draws me deeper and deeper in. I'm no therapist, and I have my own issues, so am I a fool to be thinking about a future with a guy who's likely to leave once he's healed?

Sleigh Bells and Second Chances is a slow-burn, age-gap, hurt/comfort, mid-angst, gay romance novel with a shy handyman, a reckless former gamer, a precocious borrowed kid, and a therapy dog named Tiffany.

Cat gives this Audiobook 5 Meows overall...

This is a Mission City Story, but I think you could read on its own as each book is different couples just set in the same town. Though reading them in order you know the other characters better.  

This is such a good story. Both men have physical challenges. Justin is in Mission City going to a therapy ranch after being injured in war. He's from a wealthy family but his dad wasn't happy about him going to war. He was both physically hurt and has a bad case of PTSD. He meets Simeon that has a stutter and social disorders too. 

The romance is slow burn, sweet, and has lots of feels. There are lots of other interesting characters (most have had books and you will be wanting to read them). There are cute kids, cute animals and it's a holiday story.

The narration is very good. Some characters have different accents, you get the stutter and lots of emotions.  It all comes through very well. I highly recommend the audio.
