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.

She walks in… it was like being struck by heated lightning. My undead heart thumps once then twice inside my chest. There is something about her….a distant memory, never forgotten. I glance at her name on the audition sheet and my cold blood runs hot. Vanessa Morton.

The incident might have happened three years ago, but time hasn't lessened the stain on her reputation. Despite behaving as a perfect young lady ever since, she is rarely asked to dance nor has anyone courted her. She's beginning to think she will end up a spinster.

My brother’s best friend shattered my heart when he left to chase a dream of shoulder pads and glory. Now he’s back, but even worse, so is my crush. I’m not in love with Mason Sanderson anymore, so I keep telling myself. It doesn’t matter that he’s the face of every hero in any romance novel I’ve ever read. My new next-door neighbor is not the man of my dreams. The flutters and butterflies when I see him around don’t mean anything. As his best friend’s little sister, I’m the perfect choice when he needs a date for his former team’s fundraising event.

My bestie should be living in that room, but no, she transferred to be with her boyfriend and now I'm stuck sharing a wall with stupidly hot track star, Cal Chase. My friends say I'm lucky, but his mere presence annoys me, along with his late-night music and the constant gaggle of giggly girls who visit. I'm the only one who can see right through that patented Cal Charm. He's just another player and I'm not game.

As a witch, I have a healthy dislike for the undead. While they can turn a human, their venom kills those of us with power. At least that was true until I was attacked by a rogue and transitioned into a vampire. Now the entire supernatural community wants answers, including the vampire overseer who had a surprising reaction to my unnatural rebirth. In addition to my sexy undead leader, I am assigned a death dealer mentor to investigate the reason I was targeted and protect my family.

Then there’s my neighbor in the cell next door, Xavier. Despite being a smoking hot alien, he’s a brooder with a pronounced contempt for pirates like me.

Publisher's summary
Christmas is supposed to be the season of miracles. But seeing my ‘90s high school boyfriend change into a bear isn’t the miracle I’d hoped for.
I’ve spent my life trying to create the perfect family.
Now look at me, divorced at 44 with an empty nest,
Spending my first Christmas alone.
I just inherited my aunt’s winery up in Carlton,
So at least I’ll have that to keep me busy.
But when my high school first love shows up,
Nothing can distract me from the feelings rushing back–
Until reality smacks me in the face.
Corey took off 26 years ago and broke my heart,
Leaving me no choice but to move on.
But now here he is with his same boyish charm,
Asking for a second chance.
As we go on some festive dates together,
I finally start to let my guard down with him–
Until I find out he’s been hiding a dark secret.
He’s not only capable of morphing into a bear,
He was under a feral curse for all those years.
And when a wolf from his past comes looking for revenge,
So much for a holly, jolly Christmas–
I’m now caught in the crossfire between two vicious beasts.
Steamy shifter love scenes and an HEA inside! No cheating or cliffhanger in this standalone romance. Listeners 18+.

Midlife Love
Mewsings
Narration review- Cole does a good job narrating this book. I like the way he does the voices and he is clear and easy to understand.
Story review- I liked that Corey, who had been feral for many years due to a family curse, was able to get his happy ending with his high school sweetheart, Tara. And the’90s references took me back to the day… I enjoy this series not only because I like Fated Mates and bear shifters, but because it shows that there are interesting love stories for people over 40.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Love lost, and then found again. Tara and Corey were high school sweethearts. One day Corey disappears and breaks Tara’s heart. She moved on with her life. Years later she returns to town, running her aunt Fiona’s winery. Corey and Tara end up together again, time did not diminish their attraction. Things happen, and Tara learns about the family curse, and that there is an extended family of bear shifters in town. Tara can accept and love Corey for who he is, bear and all. This was a sweet light-hearted romance. Narration was well done. I received a free copy of the audiobook from Booksprout, and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Second chance for my first love
This was such a cute story of second chances for first loves. I was rooting for both Tara and Corey to get the happy ending they so deserved. I enjoyed this story from beginning to end.

Excellent
Tara and Cory have an opportunity for a second chance at love. He has been away for a while by no choice of his own, They have instant chemistry when they are reunited. I loved how they both had to adjust to their new relationship in some way, but they find a way to appreciate and love each other again. The narrator does a good job of voicing all of the different characters. I highly recommend this audible book.

Corey and Tara
This was an enjoyable second-chance story about Corey, London's brother who spent years living under a curse and Tara, Tricia's sister. The sisters each inherited a business from their Aunt Fiona, and are now starting over in a new town, however, there was a lot Fiona never told them.
They shared a connection during their teenage years, but because of something beyond their control, their hearts were shattered, thankfully they're about to be given a second chance
The characters are lovable and well-developed. Cory was Tara’s first love but then he disappeared and she went on to marry
someone else and start a family. The marriage failed and their story picks up twenty-six years later when they find each other again. The story flows well and is narrated very well by D.C. Cole

Best of the Series!
To varying degrees, I've enjoyed every book in this author's Fated Over Forty series that I've read or listened to. But this one has just so much heart and Christmas spirit that it has risen to the top out of every one that I've enjoyed. The hero is so sympathetic, not really common for romantic heroes. Usually, the heroine is the one we feel sympathy for. But this poor bear shifter’s family has been cursed down the generations. While I won't go into the details, let's just say he became and remained feral for a few decades because of it. The author waited a bit long to fully divulge his crucial-to-the-story past, but once you knew it, you couldn't help but want for things to work out for him, both in his own acceptance of himself, and of course, with his mate.
As a woman who graduated from high school in 1985, I loved all the references from the ‘80s and ‘90s. This book had me swooning at the scene meant to be reminiscent of that infamous moment in Say Anything where John Cusack holds up his boombox and plays that special song. Sigh! What a way to ask your old flame to an adult prom!
This couple held off from “doing the deed” for quite a while compared to other books in this series. Most often in this series, this happens too quickly to be believable, in my view, leaving the couple awkward and distant for too much of the book. Because of their complicated past, trust issues, and self-doubt, that aspect of their relationship was appropriately held off, but when they finally had those intimate moments, it was so satisfying as a reader. This book has its dark moment, as all good romances must have, but I love the little details that Corey used to get back into the heroine's good graces. Frankly, I adored this couple so much, I would love to see more of their story!
I also loved all the holiday elements woven throughout this. It has several holiday group celebrations, like the adult prom mentioned above and a heart-warming Christmas at the bear clan headquarters, as well as other fun moments like the town Christmas tree lighting and holiday bazaar. While this is a part of a much bigger series, they can each be read as a standalone. You will appreciate the complex world the author has created if you read or listen to more of its stories, but you will still enjoy this book if you love charming holiday romances—or shifter ones—as I do. I like how the author teased at the end of the book what her next series will be, and I, for one, am greatly looking forward to it. Note to the author: Give wolf alpha Rex a love story, too!

Tara and Corey
Memory of good times? Yes. If bad? Yes. Secrets? Yrs. Good characters? The whole town and is there in the book. Is a standalone book but will help to read at least her sister's book to make sure you understand it all. Action. Consequences. Love the audio book. No cliffhanger loved it.

Christmas
The first love for Tara was 20 years ago. She never thought to find it again, but she did. Even when it came with rears and sorrow, love was found under the Christmas tree.

Bear's Midlife Christmas!
This is an emotional, fun and cute holiday fated over forty story. It is a fairly short and quick read that is interesting and intriguing. The story is about Corey, the cursed bear, and Tara, Tricia's twin and owner of the winery. Corey and Tara met when they were a lot younger but he disappeared breaking her heart in the process. Now years later they meet again. This is a good story about second chances, realizing what you really happened, past scars, new beginnings, love, passion, family, danger, threats, pact and much more. Such a good story. I was so excited that Tara's twins got her story. I was even more excited we got Corey's story and his recovery from the curse.
