Alpha's Midlife Baby: The Fated Over Forty Prequel

Shifter Nation: Fated Over Forty

De: Meg Ripley

Narrado por: D.C. Cole

I’m fated to the Alpha, but I can’t give him the one thing he needs:
An heir.

They say life begins at 40....

But when infertility led to my divorce, it seemed more like the end.

When I’d rather be at home in my sweats binging '80s movies, my dad begs me to go to Carlton with him for moral support as he presents my much younger sister to their unmated Alpha.

We end up barging into his clan meeting—completely awkward, to say the least.

But not as awkward as when I realize he’s my fated mate.

When he tells me his bear knows we’re destined to be together,w e can’t help but give in to the fire between us.

But he deserves to know the truth: I can never give him an heir, so it will never work.

Until, weeks later, I see the impossible: A pregnancy test with two lines.

Alpha’s Midlife Baby is the prequel novella to the Fated Over Forty series. Steamy shifter love scenes and an HEA inside! No cheating or cliffhanger in this standalone romance. Listeners 18+.

Baby

To have a child was not in her cards and so she refused his advances

Good story

Good storyline with likable characters. Good start to the series but also a good stand alone.

Alpha's Midlife Baby!

This is a prequel and good start to the Shifter Nation "Fated Over Forty" series. What would you do if you found out your sisters intended is actually your fated mate? This is a good read/listen. The narrator did a good job bringing this story and the characters to life. The story is about alpha Chris who is being pushed into a marriage with a girl he has nothing for. Brandy, a divorce, is intending to be there for he sisters engagement. When Chris and Brandy meet they know they are fated mates. She knows it cannot happen because she can't have children. Her time wife her ex proved that; or did it? This is a good story. I love Chris and Brandy together!!

Fated Mates

I read the "Alpha's Midlife Baby" previously. This time around I listened to the audio version and I so enjoyed hearing the characters talking. Chris is a 43-year-old alpha bear shifter in need of a mate and an heir. His mom invites the Grays over for Chris to meet their youngest daughter Nicole and merge the two clans. When Chris sees the older daughter Brandy she is the one that his bear is drawn to. Brandy is Chris’ fated mate. Brandy thinks that she cannot give Chris an heir but things quickly change when a pregnancy test reveal two lines.
This is an easy quick read, entertaining, funny situations, some drama, romance and awesome plot.

I received an ARC audible via Booksprout and I am leaving my review voluntarily.

Sweet

This is a sweet prequel to Fated Over Forty series. It is well written and gives depth to the characters. Brandy and Chris have a few ups and downs getting to their HEA. It overall was a beautiful story and start to this series. I enjoyed the narration and how it brought this story further to life. The narrator had distinct voices and made for an enjoyable listen.
