About this listen
I expected dating after divorce to be weird.
But nothing like this.
I was a workaholic executive—until I almost died.
It took a near-death experience to get my priorities straight,
And I knew big changes had to be made.
Priority #1 was spending more time with my kids and mother,
So I quit my job and bought a beach house on Cape Cod.
With the sun on my face and my toes in the sand,
I met one of the beach rangers,
Who turned out to be the hot single dad next door.
Dylan helped me move some furniture,
And I offered him dinner to thank him for his trouble—
Not knowing it would end with dessert.
My goal in moving out here was to spend time with family,
Not to have a wild summer fling at forty-two.
But thoughts of Dylan won’t leave my mind.
My kids swear strange things are happening on this beach,
And I chalk it up to their vivid imaginations—
Until it becomes a reality before my very eyes.
No one on this stretch of beach is human.
They’re all bear-people.
And the man I’ve come to love?
He’s their leader.
I thought my midlife crisis was over,
But baby, it’s just getting started.
Steamy shifter love scenes and a HEA inside! No cheating or cliffhanger in this standalone romance. Listeners 18+.

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.

Story
When space pirates attack the exploratory spaceship I work on and I'm forced to evacuate in an escape pod, I never expected to crash land on an alien planet. I have no idea where any of my fellow crew members are or if they even got away. I'm entirely alone. Or so I think. Instead, I'm rescued from a fierce predator by a towering purple alien with a tail and color-changing tattoos who ignites strange feelings inside me.

Gale has a problem. A really thorny problem. He can't touch anything made of wood without it bursting into bloom… which is inconvenient, to say the least. Clearly, his unicorn is cranky about something—Gale just wishes he knew what. In the meantime, being cursed with the world's most annoying green thumb is making it pretty much impossible to continue working as a sous chef. Maybe a relaxing trip into the mountains will be enough to soothe his sullen unicorn.

Story
Who leaves their girlfriend in the woods after a fight? My now ex-boyfriend, that’s who. One fight—okay, a big fight—because I found out he was cheating on me while we were camping, and poof! He left me in the woods. So, I start walking to town, only I end up at the river, where I meet Axel. This guy is huge. With a storm rolling in, I don’t have much choice but to trust him and take shelter in his cabin, since I’ve been walking for hours away from town. Several days of rain wash out the road and it looks like I’m stuck here with my giant.

Story
Myrtle thought her Australia trip was to study endangered moths. But her grant proposal should've said, "I propose to co-parent a baby pegasus shifter with an insatiable appetite for mashed apples while getting chased across the outback with a smoking hot Australian undercover agent named Hector. Did I mention that he's smoking hot?" Hector isn't just any incredibly hot undercover agent with an amazing accent. He's also a griffin shifter, and he's certainly being cagey about showing her his badge.

The blue alien warrior pacing in his cage terrifies me. His long dark hair is wild and messy, and his scarred body looks made for murder. I deliver food to him every day, and I'm sure by the way he stares at me that he'd rather eat me. Yet there's something about him that captivates me, and I can't stop watching him. When he lets the snarling, fearsome mask slip, I start to see there's a cool calculation to his actions. I would be risking everything to help him escape, but do I dare let this monster free from his cage?

Story
When my brother’s best friend proposes we get engaged, I’m a fool to say yes. It’s a fake engagement, because men like Jameson Vance don’t fall in love with women like me. He’s a gorgeous billionaire, a marketing genius and a playboy, and he’s only getting engaged to please his family. I’m an introverted writer, just trying to start my life over, and I’d rather mingle with the rose bushes in his garden than fall in love again.

Excellent
This is an entertaining shifter romance that grabs your attention from the beginning. Dylan finds his mate in a different form than expected. Their bond is immediate and steamy even with the challenges they face. This is an amazing story brought to life with fantastic narration. I enjoyed this audiobook and highly recommend it.

Mama and the Bear Next Door
When I picked this up, I expected some fun post-divorce dating vibes with a twist, but Next Door Midlife Alpha totally exceeded that! Stacey’s journey from an overworked exec to beachside single mom meeting her bear-shifter soulmate was unexpectedly heartwarming and oh-so-entertaining. Meg Ripley brings something fresh to the genre, blending midlife romance with steamy paranormal fun, set against the relaxed Cape Cod coast.
Stacey and Dylan have that instant, magnetic connection. Their chemistry is strong, but there’s also a maturity to how they navigate life, family, and, of course, Dylan’s hidden shifter identity! Ripley dives right into their whirlwind romance while keeping it relatable and lighthearted, even when things take a wilder, supernatural turn. Dylan’s role as a leader of the “bear-people” was a cool twist, and Stacey’s curiosity and courage made her such an easy character to root for.
D.C. Cole definitely brings heat and intensity to the narration, especially in those tension-filled moments! He totally nails Dylan’s rugged, brooding vibe, giving him the perfect alpha edge. While I felt like a little more variation could’ve captured some of Stacey’s more vulnerable moments, Cole’s voice still makes it easy to stay hooked from start to finish. Overall, solid narration!
Yes I would recommend this one. With a unique setting, great chemistry, and a touch of midlife realism, it’s a fantastic listen that’s both swoon-worthy and fun. Ripley’s world of shifters feels fresh and well-rounded, and I’m already looking forward to her next installment. Whether you’re new to shifters or already love the genre, this one’s worth a listen!.

Exciting
This book is so exciting, it will grab you and not let you go. I loved all the changes Stacey made in her life, she is an amazing woman. Dylan is exactly what she needs. I loved the place they were able to live their lives. I’d never want to leave. You won’t be disappointed with this story. All the twists and surprises and incredible scenes will take you away. The narrator brings it all to life.

So many funny moments!
I think that this was another great story from Meg Ripley. She has continued her world building only instead of mountains and forests we have beaches and a Cove. This was a good jumping point for the Truro part of her world. I've read the ebook as well as listened to the audiobook and I recommend either method. I believe that if you're into paranormal Romances then you'll love all of Meg's stories including this one.

Dylan and Stacey
I enjoyed reading about Dylan and Stacey when the book was first published but listening to it narrated so well by D.C. Cole lifted my enjoyment of this well-crafted story to an even higher level.
Dylan and Stacey were so obviously destined for each other. Their chemistry was palpable and the way their families blended to become one big perfect family so easily made it even more obvious. I loved the joy and laughter the children brought into the mix and I loved getting to know all of the well-drawn characters, especially Carol. I hope we get a chance to enjoy her story one day.
One of the things I love most about this series is that the characters have lived, they haven't just left their teens behind, they have experienced so much and that makes them appreciate the chances life sends their way and grab onto them with both hands.

Dylan, Stacey, and fams
Story: Stacey (h) moves to Cape Cod to rebuild her life with her two kids, Elijah and Vivian, and her mother, Carol, seeking a quieter lifestyle and a fresh start. Her plans take an unexpected turn when she meets her intriguing neighbor, Dylan (H), who’s more than just a rugged local, he’s the Alpha of a secretive bear shifter clan and father to Lila. Stacy finds herself drawn to Dylan, even as she's pulled into a world she never imagined, where family loyalty and ancient traditions collide with modern-day life. As her connection with Dylan grows and things heat up, Stacey faces secrets, clan tensions, and her own insecurities, discovering strength she didn’t know she had. Loved the Brigham traditions and the blending of Stacey and Dylan's families. Hot and steamy midlife human-bear shifter romance, exploring new beginnings, family, belonging, unity, and finding love when you least expect it.
Audio: Narrator D.C. Cole does a great job with Dylan and other male voices, and a good job with Stacey's voice - I personally prefer a duet style narrator with both a male and female narrator. The audio quality is good and there were no issues.

Fun story
I have a great feeling I will enjoy the books in this series. First to have characters that are not 20 is amazing! Stacy and Dylan story is fun in that you get some fantasy with the shifter storyline. Then you get Stacy who is a very relatable character I could see how many might see themselves with her.

Great Read
This was a great story. Loved the characters. Dylan and Stacey were a great match. The narrator was a lot to get into but the story pulls you in and soon you forget about the voice all together. I would highly recommend this book
