Vigilante Midlife Wolf

Shifter Nation: Marked Over Forty

De: Meg Ripley

Narrado por: Elle Sonali

As a 47-year-old veterinarian, I thought I’d seen it all when it came to animals.

Until an injured wolf shifted into my high school sweetheart. An ordinary hike became a rescue mission when a wolf lay in my path, barely clinging to life.

I rushed him to my clinic and hoped for a miracle, but I hadn’t meant it literally.

The wolf transformed into a man, but not just any man—Bennett Westbrook, my high school ex, now standing before me with a world of secrets.

I wondered if I'd gone mad, but madness turned into reality as Bennett revealed the world of shifters—a world he's always been a part of.

Turns out he’s not just a wolf, but a vigilante with a vendetta to settle.

And now that his enemies followed me to the clinic, Bennett’s not the only one with a target on his back.

The danger lurking in the shadows brings us closer, and I find myself rediscovering the boy I once loved, now a man with strength and mystery drawing me in all over again.

This wasn't how I pictured finding love at 47, but Bennett’s more than just an old flame.

He’s my second chance at love, adventure, and a life I never imagined—If only we can survive. Steamy shifter love scenes and an HEA inside! No cheating or cliffhanger in this standalone romance. Listeners 18+.

Second Chance Shifter Romance

Meg Riley is a new author to me and overall I liked her writing style. The plot progresses quickly and grabs your attention from the beginning. The narration was smooth. The intimate scenes were a bit too “80’s bodice ripper” for me, but it did not detract from the enjoyment of the story.

I received a free advanced copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Bennett and Stephanie

Bennett and Stephanie’s story is a second chance love. Their journey of misunderstandings and past choices is sweet and romantic. It is a great addition to this series and I love the world Meg Ripley has created with these characters.

Bennett and Stephnie

When Stephnie, a human veterinarian and her daughter Annie, who works with her in her practice, came across a wolf close to death, they never expected it to transform into Bennett, Stephnie's first love from high school. Bennett and Stephanie’s story is one about second chances and finding love despite all the mistakes, misunderstandings and baggage they both have.

The story flows really well and has some great characters who you can't help but relate to.

The narration by Elle Sonali is excellent and added to my enjoyment of the story.

I loved this sweet romantic story and liked the characters.

The past comes crashing in

Sometimes the past doesn’t just knock on your door. It crashes through it.

Stephanie (h) built her world on independence: running her veterinary clinic, raising her daughter Annie, and keeping her life steady. Until a wounded wolf lands on her table…and shifts into Bennett (H), the boy who broke her heart decades ago.

Bennett isn’t just a wolf shifter. He’s a vigilante with dangerous enemies on his heels. Enemies who won’t hesitate to drag Stephanie and Annie into their fight. When threats close in, old sparks reignite and second chances feel more dangerous, and more irresistible, than ever.

Their story balances suspense, danger, and deep emotion. Stephanie grows from a cautious single mom into someone who embraces passion, risk, and the possibility of love again. Bennett evolves from a lone wolf haunted by mistakes into a man ready to fight not just for justice, but for a future with the woman he never forgot. Together, they build a love that’s fierce, protective, and worth every risk.

Steamy wolf shifter, midlife, fated mates, second chance, small town, protector romance, exploring resilience, trust, found family, danger, self-discovery, emotional vulnerability, and love over forty.

Audiobook: Narrator Elle Sonali delivers a strong performance, balancing suspense and romance with smooth pacing and clear emotion. Her voice captures Stephanie’s strength, Annie’s youth, and Bennett’s grit in a way that brings the story to life. Crisp audio, engaging delivery, and a satisfying listen all around.
