About this listen
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. Until 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.

Story
Nicholas Theodoropoulos had been my stepbrother since I was fourteen. Mom died when I was twelve, and I resented Dad remarrying so soon. Even worse, my stepbrother had grown into a gorgeous man. I hated looking at him, reminding me every day of what I could never have. No one knew I was gay and never would. But when my best friend backed out of our road trip to California, Dad forced me to travel with my stepbrother. It was the only way if I wanted to go on this journey I’d been planning since middle school. Nothing good would come out of this.

Story
Having spent more than twenty years as an emergency medicine physician in war zones around the world, I barely have a home to speak of. A daughter I didn’t know about has died and left a child behind, so I must get to Gaynor Beach, California to claim my granddaughter. Her temporary guardian is the first man to spark my interest in a very long time, but it would be inappropriate for me to have a relationship with this much-younger man.

But now it’s over, and I’m not sure what to do with myself. So I'm going home to Elmwood. But I’ll tell you what I’m not gonna do—I’m not going to coach my buddy’s junior hockey league. No chance. I don’t know how to deal with kids, and besides, the other coach—who happens to be my best friend’s brother—hates me. With reason.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Adam is not having a good day. First, he finds out his very long-time boyfriend has been having an affair. Then, his dramatic exit becomes a little too dramatic when he ends up dead. To top it off, he finds out that the afterlife isn't at all what he expected (he has no desire to learn to play the harp, thank you very much). Fortunately for him, some afterlife bureaucratic screw-up ends him up with the most smoking-hot demon he's ever seen, and he decides he's keeping him. Maybe the afterlife won't be so bad after all.

I always thought of Silas Rush as my biggest rival on the track and a stuck-up loner off of it. He and his fancy pro career left our crappy hometown in the dust before high school even finished, and then I didn't think of him much at all. I was too busy trying to keep my little sisters from turning into addicts like our mom, and myself from turning into a rage-junkie like our dad. All while keeping food on the table. Now he's back, reminding me of all the things I don't have, just like he always did.

Such a Sweet Story
I really enjoyed this audiobook, and I loved the narrator! Simeon and Ryan were both so sweet. Ryan endured so much, and Simeon kept to himself so much due to his stutter. When Simeon walks in on Ryan experiencing a panic attack, he helps to calm him, and doesn’t judge. The two become fast friends, which builds into more over time. Ryan is still healing, and Simeon has never pursued anyone before. This is all new ground for both of them. Is Ryan ready? Is this the right time?
This was extremely slow burn, but I think it was the perfect pacing for these two. It was necessary for these two to build a friendship first. Ryan had been through extreme loss, coupled with trauma, and bodily injury. Over time he came out of his shell, and really opened up to Simeon. Simeon, for his part, wasn’t even looking for romance.
I loved these two together, as well as all of the side characters. While this was the third book in the series, it was the first I had listened to, but I didn’t feel like I was at a loss having not read or listened to the others. I do plan to go back and read those though, as the characters sounded interested and I want to know more!

This is a Mission City Story but I think you could read on its own as each book is different couples just set in 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 holiday!
The narration is very good. Some characters have different accents, you get the stutter and lots of emotions. It all comes through very well

Ryan and Simeon
This is a perfect book to get you in the holiday spirit. Ryan and Simeon both struggle with some big issues. I loved that Ryan never seems to notice Simeon's stutter; it's just part of who he is. Simeon is a quiet presence and rock for Ryan, giving him someone to help ground him. Simeon's grandparents were a wonderful influence on both men. I was delighted to see so many heroes from previous stories make an appearance.
Highly recommended author and series

All the Slow Sweet Feels!
I adored sweet Simeon. He had a bit of stutter and tries to please everyone and loves to physically fix things. . Thus, how he ends up helping out at the ranch where Ryan comes to adjust to his physical and emotional injuries from war. Ryan was pretty rough in the beginning, so I enjoyed watching him warm up to not only his romance with Simeon but also with the best kind of side characters: a dog and fun kid! This was a very heartwarming and pleasant listen. Michael Dean did a wonderful job in his narration for Simeon and his stutter.

I Enjoyed It
I really enjoyed this book and became completely emotionally invested in the characters. I loved both Simeon and Ryan. Both had their demons and pain to face. Simeon was kind but kept his distance from people due to a very strong stutter that bothers him more than [he thinks it] bothers the people around him. Ryan is suffering from PTSD, survivor's guilt, and injuries from the war. H has a strong phobia of technology that restricts some of the help he could get. His therapist sent him to a Healing Horses Ranch for both his mental and physical health.
Simeon was doing some work with a nail gun, but it set off Ryan's PTSD. I liked how compassionate and understanding he was in trying to comfort Ryan when he really needed it and talking with him to calm him down. Simeon's parents died in a freak train accident, so he lives with his elderly grandparents to help care for them and also not be lonely. Ryan's mom left when his parents divorced, so he only has his dad.
I liked how the Ryan and Simeon connected, and though Simeon always works alone, he asked Ryan if he'd like to help. I liked the way their relationship developed. I also liked the supporting characters. A beautiful story of healing and support.
I also listened to this narrated by Michael Dean who did a great job bringing these characters to life.

Beautiful story
what a beautiful story of healing and finding love. outstanding group of couples that are more like family. Ryan and Simeon, one healing from war and one healing from verbal abuse. They find comfort, strength and love with eachother. Beautifully written super slow burn romance. Narration is absolutely perfect. You can always count on Michael Dean to bring the perfect personality to each character. He really brought this book to life. His voice draws you in and keeps you wanting to listen and hear more.

Really sweet - by Shana W
3.5 stars. This is a very slow moving and slow burn romance. Simeon is the strong and silent type a lot of the time, due to his stutter but also his personality. He is kind and caring and a very loyal friend. Ryan is overcoming PTSD and greatly benefits from Simeon's friendship. Ryan grows as a character through the course of the book, becoming more likeable as he does. I like how the two men help each other overcome their pasts and they bring out the best in each other. There are a lot of wonderful side characters, many of them from previous books. I enjoyed the story and all of the characters, although I felt that it could have been a good deal shorter and still retained its charm.
The wonderful narration by Michael Dean made the story and characters come to life and made me more willing to listen until the end when parts of the story were slow.
I received an audiobook copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

So Sweet!
I really enjoyed that this story was Avira the wounds and trauma that are suffered during war without being morbid. The main characters are so good for each other, and Gabbi Grey does a beautiful job of writing Simeon and Ryan as unique people with their own lives, made all the sweeter by the wonderful people they surround themselves with! This sweet story is one that should not be missed!

Loved it!
Sleigh Bells and Second Chances is the third in Gabbi Grey’s Mission City series. Michael Dean does an amazing job of bringing this story to life.
Ryan had been through something traumatic and was trying to survive each day.
And Simeon had isolated himself in a way that nobody ever got to close to him.
These two start out as friends and it is wonderful watching their relationship evolve into something so special.
Characters from other Mission City books appear frequently, and are all a part of this growing found family who support each other.
It is a low angst tale of two men making discoveries about themselves and each other, finding that missing piece that completes their personal puzzle.
I'm looking forward to more in this series.
