About this listen
“I can’t get the authorities involved in this,” he pleaded, his brows drawing together.
“I need you.”
When I got divorced and moved to the quiet Oregon countryside....
The last thing I expected was for a hot stranger to pound on my door, demanding I go with him in the middle of the night.
His sister-in-law’s in labor, and he swears she’s on death’s door.
The weirder part?
I’m not allowed to tell anyone what I’m about to see.
This has WTF written all over it, but I took an oath to help.
Looks like my cozy sweats, wine, and the remote will have to wait.
Even after delivering babies for decades....
Nothing could prepare me for this.
Good god, the kid is hairy.
And the ears, the eyes...they’re all wrong.
Because I didn’t just deliver a baby.
I delivered a freaking bear cub.
Apparently, these folks are shapeshifters.
And us humans aren’t supposed to know their secret.
Now, some of these bear-people want me dead.
That hunky stranger is now my bodyguard.
And we’ve gotten very close living under my tiny roof.
Am I ready to jump into a relationship with another man?
Especially one that can change into a bear?
Steamy shifter love scenes and an HEA inside! No cheating or cliffhanger in this standalone romance. Listeners 18+.

"You may now kiss your bride". They were the last words my mother heard before she collapsed on the church steps, poison ending her pitifully short life. When her new husband dies minutes later, all eyes turn to me. There are whispers. Accusations. The verdict is split. I murdered them both. Or I'm the next to die.

I don’t have to go to hell and back to save the woman I love. I’m already there, my soul stained with the blood of those who thought they could cross me. I promised her we would always have a tomorrow together, I don’t break my promises.

I was a small-town girl with big city dreams and more ambition than money to my name. He had everything—money, privilege, and the world at his feet. Opposites in every way, but that didn’t matter. We were lightning in a bottle, and everything felt possible when we were together. Life was perfect.

It was supposed to be the best day of my life. But the second I got up, things started to fall apart. The kitchen just caught on fire. Flowers were from a funeral. My bride-to-be just had an allergic reaction, leaving by ambulance. Oh, and my ex-girlfriend just walked into the church. They say you have to see the signs when they are right in front of you. Maybe she was just mine to have.

Story
My night club, The Dragon’s Den, is heaven on earth. For a dragon, that’s saying something. I have constant access to sin after delicious sin as well as a steady stream of women in my bed who are eager for me to corrupt them. I’ll admit, the baby someone left on my doorstep was unexpected. Likewise, the positive DNA test was damning, so I did what every dragon daddy in my position would do—I hired a nanny.

Story
I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant. The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, he looked more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop... and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me. We shared a moment, but it’s not what you’d think. Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

My ex-husband broke my heart by asking for an open marriage. Then I found out he had already been sleeping with someone else. So I dumped his butt and moved out. In the process, I found myself in the arms of four smoking-hot strangers. They pull out all the stops, lavishing me with all of the attention I’d been missing out on. But these guys have a secret. Am I going to be able to cope with the truth when it comes out, or is it going to be too much to bear?

I read this ebook almost two years ago and had enjoyed it. (Original ebook story review below). I was happy to get the chance to listen to it on audiobook. This was narrated by D.C. Cole, whom I recently listen to narrate another of Meg Ripley's books in this series- "Alpha's Midlife Baby." I really enjoyed Cole's narration. It was easy to differentiate between the different characters' voices. Everything was spoken clearly and evenly. I thought he suited this book and- so far- this series. I look forward to more.

**Original Ebook Review 10/22/21-**
This book was a new way for someone to inadvertently learn that shifters exist. Liz was a midwife who closed her midwifery practice to instead be a reiki energy healer. One night a handsome man is pounding on her back door and needs her help as his sister-in-law is in labor but something is wrong and he thinks she may be dying. Unable to refuse, she goes with him. When he asks her to promise never to tell anyone what she will see, she became nervous and uneasy. But they arrive and Liz is able to successfully help deliver the baby. However instead of a human baby, a bear cub is born instead before it shifts into human form. She is shocked, and he explains they are shifters. But the clan greatly mistrusts a human knowing about them and some want to kill her to ensure their secret stays safe...
I enjoyed this book. 4 stars.

Tyler rushes in to Liz's life, needing her midwife skills and help, never imagining the events her kind heart and willingness to help others would set in motion.
This done in one story embraces independence and self-reliance, but comes with a reminder not only that there is strength in numbers, but others can see things we can't, and can help us see things in another way.
I love the theme of healing in this story, and was intrigued by the use of Reiki.
Loved the performance as much as the story!
