Forbidden Midlife Mate

Shifter Nation: Marked Over Forty

De: Meg Ripley

Narrado por: Elle Sonali

My new boss awakened something deep inside me,
And it’s not just another hot flash.

When my husband ran off with our saloon’s hostess,
I left Montana, joining my college-aged son in Oregon.
Eugene’s a far cry from my little hometown,
But I did my best to blend in with the locals,
And tried heading out for a jog.
I thought I saw a hippie gathering deep into the trail—
Until they changed into a pack of wolves.

I screamed and ran for my life,
But my clumsy ass tripped and blacked out.
Now I’m waking up on a handsome stranger’s couch,
With zero recollection of what I’d seen.
Rex is intimidating and rough around the edges,
But something about him sets me on fire.

Things get even hotter when he ends up being my boss.
Too bad Rex is the only one who wants me around.
My coworkers at the rock club have it in for me,
And when they threaten me after work one night,
A nightmare comes to life before my very eyes.
In mere seconds, they shift from men to snarling wolves,
But I realize that nightmare is just beginning
When I look down at my trembling hands
And see snow-white paws instead.

Steamy shifter love scenes and an HEA inside! No cheating or cliffhanger in this standalone romance. Listeners 18+.

Lori is kick butt

I really like Lori. She was a headstrong character that didn’t take and bull. A female over 40 looking for a new start stumbles on a group that are weary over what trouble she could cause. Rex is determined to keep his group safe but the pull between him and Lori steamed up my kindle.

A sweet read

This is a quick sweet read. The story is about a divorced women/mom Lori who moved to away from the only life she knew to be closer to her son. There she discovers a lot more about herself than she ever knew. The narrator did a good job reading the story but not to good on speaking different voices.

I loved the whole story!

Meg did a really good with her world and character building in this as well as other books. She certainly knows how to make s villain you love to dislike. I also enjoyed the narrator I think she did a good job as well.

suspense

The story seemed slow to start but once it got going it was great! It was great!

Full of surprises

I loved all the surprises tossed my way, throughout this book. Lori was just trying to survive and put her past behind her. There were lots of obstacles thrown in her direction, I loved how she dealt with them. Rex tried so hard to stay away, but he knew there was no way he could. This book will immediately grab you and not release you even at the end, you will want it to continue. The narrator is awesome.

Rex and Lori

I enjoyed listening to Rex and Lori's story it's the first in a new series about mature characters finding love.

Lori's divorced, about to start again at 48 years old and wants to be closer to her son, so she's packed up and left Montana and has moved to Eugene, Oregon for that reason.

She decided to go for a jog but she went farther than she intended and unknowingly trespassed on private property. The property was owned by shifters so it wasn't surprising that she came across one in the throes of his shift into his wolf form.

Unsure and frightened of what she'd seen she ran but fell knocking herself out. When she came to it was to find herself staring into the face of a handsome man with incredible blue eyes. He told her he was Rex. What she didn't know then was that he was a Lion shifter and the Alpha of the Glenwood pack.

Rex's sister (who is also a witch) erases her memories of what she saw and Rex takes her back to her home. That should have been the end of it but then she turns up at the bar looking for a job and he can't refuse her.

The pack is uneasy about her being there but...;...

The story is well-written, and smooth-flowing and is one I enjoyed listening to. The narration by Elle Sonali is good and easy to listen to.

Stand-offish hero

I like Rex. He was stand offish but he was able to overcome and adapt and realize change is inevitable. I really like Lori because she dove in head first and started her life over when she needed to. I like that she was still smart about it all. I like the traditional part of the pack. I like the feel that there will be other books from this pack. I look forward to them. The writing is nice and easy and I enjoy being able to finish in one sitting. The audio version was nicely done. The narrator does a good job of giving the listener the feeling of the change of characters. I read this one before I listened. I really like the story.
