About this listen
Having a baby at my age is crazy enough.
Try throwing another species into the mix.
At 45, I never dreamed I’d be starting over. But here I am, newly single in a new little town. My BFF dragged me out on New Year’s Eve to celebrate my next chapter, and a pair of stunning blue eyes caught my attention.
I definitely wasn’t there to find a new man, but when I felt my cheeks burning at the sight of him I knew it wasn’t just another damn hot flash. So when he asked me to go back to his place to ring in the new year, he didn’t have to ask twice. But we ended up sharing much more than one wild night. I’m technically old enough to be a grandmother, but now I’m pregnant.
On top of that? I just found out he’s part bear. As in not human. In that case, what exactly is growing in my belly? And how can I know I’ll be safe?
Steamy shifter love scenes and an HEA inside! No cheating or cliff-hanger in this stand-alone romance.

Story
Wolf shifters are real. And, three alphas have claimed me as their mate. For years, I've been kept prisoner by my uncle, hidden like a piece of trash in the basement of his house - beaten, broken, and neglected, hated by him for reasons I can't even understand. But, one night on the back roads of rural Montana, I see a chance for escape. And, I take it. I run...straight into the arms of a naked man. No. Not a man. A wolf. Ridge, the man with dark hair and honey-colored eyes, is the alpha of the North Pack.

I keep my head down. In this backward pack, females rank low, and my bad leg makes me damaged goods. It doesn’t help that I’ve never shifted. I don’t mind the late-20s single life, though. No one’s paying any attention as I build an illicit farmer’s market empire. My roomies and I are doing it for ourselves, and if life under Killian Kelly is stifling, at least it’s predictable. We can deal. But when biology finally kicks in, I lose my mind. I claim our alpha as my mate. And he rejects me in front of the whole pack.

Two years ago, I had a one-night stand with a hot stranger. Billionaire Marcus Willingham. Powerful, irresistible blue eyes and completely off-limits. He couldn’t get to me before those two thugs grabbed me, but luckily, he was able to chase them off. It was just supposed to be one night. No love. No feelings. And certainly no regrets. Six weeks later, I found myself staring at a positive pregnancy test.

Story
All I wanted was to find answers to who I was. No one knew who had abandoned the gray-eyed baby with fiery red hair and a cry loud enough to make a man's nuts retract. I moved to Arbor Falls to find myself. Little did I know I'd be thrown into a world I didn't know existed. A world with wolves at each other's throats and enough pack politics and danger to make my head spin. Then there's the fact that I have more than one mate. Not all of them accept me because there's one gigantic problem: I'm not what they expected.

Three years ago, a darkly handsome stranger stole my heart. After one night together, I was certain I’d found my fated mate—until he rejected me and disappeared like a shadow. I never told anyone about that night. I shoved the shattered pieces of my soul into a locked box and pretended I'd never met Kian. But when a witch whispers a dire warning in my ear one day, everything changes. Because I don’t just have one mate. I have three. Feral shifters, she calls them. Wild, untamed, and fueled by darkness, created by a magic no one has ever seen before.

But the second I see him again my heart lurches and it’s like all that time evaporates. I still burn for him, even though I know it’s a bad idea. I try to remind myself about the bad things: his possessiveness, his quick temper...but he’s different now. More mature. Protective. Settled. And hiding something. Something bigger than the child we share.

Tia Monroe was smart, sassy, and successful. Sure, she could get a little crazy at times - life around Tia was never boring - but that was part of her appeal. And while she didn't see herself as classically beautiful, she had no shortage of options in the boyfriend department. She just hadn't found one who held her interest. Until she laid eyes on Eric Larsson, and then it was lust at first sight. He packed the perfect mix of smoldering sexy and unapologetic cool into his blond-haired, blue-eyed, ridiculously hot six-foot-four frame.

Story
I’m the type of girl who’s given up on fairy tales. So when Beck – the hot new busboy at work - starts flirting with me, I know better than to get my hopes up. Happily ever afters aren’t for the average. I learned that the hard way. But how can I be expected to resist a man who can quote Austen, loves making me laugh, and seems to be everything hot and good in this world? Only there’s so much more to him than that. Billionaire playboy? Check. Troubled soul? Check.

Drama, and action!
This is the second book in the Shifter Nation: Fated Over Forty Series. Chase and Jenna's story is entertaining, and passionate, filled with drama, miscommunication, action, danger, and twists and turns. They are both interesting characters. D.C. Cole did an excellent job bringing this story to life. He is one of my favorite narrators. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to Bear's Midlife Matchmaker, the next book in the series series!

Fantastic
I was immediately hooked with this fantastic book. The narrator will pull you in and bring you into the characters lives. So many misunderstandings between Jenna and Chase. I loved how Chase was able to follow his dream and how Jenna did so much to make it happen. This book has so much drama, intrigue, manipulation and so much more. I couldn’t put this book down, with so much happening, I had to find out how it all worked out.

Good
I liked the concept of this story- not just an older woman who never thought she'd have a baby, but also discovering shifters are real and that she's having a shifter's baby. The drama with an ex was unexpected, and the dreaded miscommunication / no communication trope- just making assumptions and causing unnecessary heartache- which I did not like.
All turned out well by the end.
D.C. Cole did a good job with the narration- though his female voices were just okay.

Love me strong FMC
One of the biggest draw to these books is that Meg Ripley makes the FMC over 40 and still winning in life. Jenna is the ceo of her company who is killing it. Chase wants to open up a brewery and needs Jenna’s help. But the chemistry between these two is palpable. They needed to communicate better in the beginning but it helped build the tension.

Interesting younger man story
I like that Jenna, the older woman, was strong and independent. I like that she was ambitious and hardworking. I like that Chase wanted more out of his life. Their attraction was immediate and intense. The miscommunication was dragged out, but when it came out the timing felt right. The angst is mid level. The steam is nicely done. The spice is fairly low level. The story is interesting.

Chase and Jenna
Story: Jenna (h45) moves to a new town after a breakup to start a new life and open her own business. On New Year's Eve, she meets Chase (H35) and they have a passionate night together, but the next morning, Jenna leaves before Chase returns, assuming he's not interested in her. To her surprise, Jenna discovers that she's pregnant, and even more shockingly, she learns that Chase is a bear shifter. When she meets Chase again for a business meeting, she mistakenly believes he's involved with another woman and decides to keep her pregnancy a secret. Meanwhile, Chase is determined to pursue a relationship with Jenna and build his dream brewery, but his ex keeps interfering. Misunderstandings and insecurities threaten to keep them apart, and Jenna worries about the pregnancy and Chase being a shifter. Lovely OWYM shifter, fated mates, secret baby romance with plenty of heat and relationship angst.
Audio: The pacing of the narrator was fine, good annunciation, though sometimes words seemed to go soft at times. The narrator did a good job with voicing different male voices, but I rarely am happy when a male narrator is used to voice female characters' dialogue, and this was no exception.

Cute
Another good listen. This is Jenna and Chase story. When life needs a new start for Jenna she relocates and opens her business. She meets Chase after a night of celebrating with her friend. Well one thing leads to another. This is quick book with misunderstandings and an ex that wont let go. HEA.

Age gap, life changes, early spice and shifters DU
I'm a big fan of any of Meg Ripley's works especially because they are not the typically younger cast of characters, and you are faced with real issues that pop in them, funny or serious.
Bear's Midlife Baby fits perfectly in this with older leads, starting over, and granny panties. It also plays into some awesome tropes, including but not limited to, age gaps, older women, surprise babies, one-night stands, starting over, men working with their hands, and big dreams.
I was impressed by D.C. Cole's excellent shifts in voice for each of the characters in this book, which made it an enjoyable read. In fact, my friend, who is not usually interested in shifter stories, enjoyed listening to the audiobook during a car ride thanks to Cole's engaging and soothing narration. She was curious to find out how Chase and Jenna's story would conclude, and now plans to pick up the audiobook herself.

Great Addition to the Series
This was a great addition to the series. The character work and story line were well written. The narrator did a fantastic job of bringing the story to life and made this as fun to listen to as it was to read.
