Publisher's summary

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.

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.

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.

Forbidden Midlife Mate Shifter Nation: Marked Over

This is book 1 Marked Over Forty starring Rex and human Lori Jenson. WOW that was incredible and the way Lori keeps finding new stuff out about her town was intense and a little unsettling but you need the drama to really shake up the story and that helps with the spice of the relationship. I have to say I laughed when Lori tries to talk to her grown soon about things. This was a great mate match love story.

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.

Fated Mates

I read this book previously and just as much as I enjoyed reading Forbidden Midlife Mate I enjoyed it even better on audibles.
Lori was helping her husband run the town bar when he ups and runs off with the saloon hostess. Lori leaves Montana and heads to Eugene to be near her son who is attending the University of Eugene on a football scholarship. Lori is out is jogging when she comes across a group of people who begin to howl and shifts into wolves. Lori takes off running, falls downs and knocks herself. When she comes to she has no memory of what happened. Lori sees the sexy alpha wolf shifter Rex who is the pack leader. Rex’s wolf has been acting out whenever he is near Lori and he doesn’t seems to know why. Lori lands a job and an event happens with her coworkers and Rex is there to rescue her along wolves of his pack and Lori’s memory of seeing wolves comes to life.

Will Lori be afraid of the wolves, will Rex realize why his wolf was acting out and realize that Lori is his fated mated, will Lori be ok being Rex’s fated mate?

Awesome Audiobook

This story has a relatable, capable, and inspiring FMC; her wavering was a bit tedious near the end, but it was understandable, and quite realistic. Overall, I loved this story, and the narration was excellent.

Shifters

Loved it. Great story. It has romance, suspense and pack rules. This story has a big twist towards the end and it gives the story a perfect ending. Loved the narrator. All the voices were different and pleasant to listen to.
