About this listen
Living on a beach teeming with shifters wasn’t how I pictured retirement.
Neither was becoming one’s mate.
My daughter bought a beach house on Cape Cod,
And when she asked me to move in with her,
I never expected her to fall for the bear shifter next door.
Now that I’ve got the cottage all to myself,
My daughter thinks it’s time to play matchmaker,
Practically shoving me at the other single senior nearby.
Rick may be a 70-year-old wolf shifter,
But this hunky firefighter ignites a spark I haven’t felt in decades.
That’s not the only fire on this beach, though.
One night, I spot a young woman surrounded by flames,
Right on the shore behind my new dog bakery.
Rick and his team rush to the rescue,
But everything goes sideways once Lorelei shows up.
Rick will do whatever it takes to keep me safe,
But even he couldn’t be prepared for this.
At 66, I thought all of life’s adventures were behind me.
Turns out my golden years are just warming up.
Steamy shifter love scene and a HEA inside! No cheating or cliffhanger in this standalone romance. Listeners 18+.

Story
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.

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.

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.

Yet honor demands he finds an opportunity to intervene, and he hopes that doing so won’t start a war the shifters can’t win.

Frank pulled me from the flames, but now I’m the one tending to his wounds and sharing my home with him. His gruff voice, smoldering looks, and hot body make him impossible to resist.

Story
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.

With all that is happening in his land, the upcoming shifter mating ceremony is the least of Grier’s concerns. Even though he is heir prince of the dragon-shifters, he doesn’t have the authority needed to help the humans stranded in dragon territory, nor can he banish those who ruthlessly control them. Yet honor demands he finds an opportunity to intervene, and he hopes that doing so won’t start a war the shifters can’t win.

Hughes Farm was the largest racing-horse establishment in the South. The family that owned it was known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have. Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy, but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

Emmett Lasker is impossible to work for. He might be model handsome and stupidly wealthy, but he also has it out for me. He’s given me more last-minute and weekend requests than anyone else, ruining any plans I make. I should quit. And I will. Just as soon as I hit my two-year anniversary and earn out my signing bonus. But after a particularly awful day at work, a breakup (via text!), and my computer crashing, I’ve had enough! So at 11:59 Friday night, I barge into Emmett’s office to tell him what I really think of him. Only, that’s not what happens. AT ALL.

Wolf's Golden Mate
Wolf's Golden Mate is book 2 in the Destined Over Forty series by Meg Ripley. I really enjoy Meg Ripley's writing especially the series with older characters it brings a new aspect to the paranormal romance genre and now is starting to gear it towards us older readers. It's a heartwarming story and so satisfying to read something more for me. I highly recommend Meg Ripley and ALL her stories, definitely pick this one up!! D.C. Cole does an excellent job in bringing these characters to life, I really enjoy listening to his voice.

Much Later-in-Life Romance
I've listened to many books by this talented author of paranormal romance featuring older couples. I have a soft spot for books featuring later-in-life romance because I believe far too many books focus on romance for the young. Romance can happen at any age! In this book, the hero and heroine are even older than normal for this author's series. I absolutely adored their interaction at the beginning of the story. They had an almost instant, yet genuine, chemistry that just warmed my heart. The heroine, I believe, is in her 60s, and the hero is in his 70s! Unfortunately, then the author kept them apart or at somewhat silly odds for too long. For me, the most satisfying romances show continuous interaction between the featured couple, even if they struggle. Interestingly, and I don't know if this was an unintentional bias by the author, but she had them sharing intimacy much later in the book—in fact, nearly at the end—than she typically has in her stories. (In fact, in most of her books, I think she has the characters get intimate too quickly. She went to the other extreme in this book!). For a book that started so well, it ultimately felt disappointing, especially as it is from an author I know can write amazing love stories.

Very Enjoyable Listen
This audiobook by Meg Ripley was great! D. C. Cole does an awesome job with his vocal chararacterizations and reading of this shifter story. He is a very talented voice actor. Ms. Ripley, as usual, has done a wonderful job with her storyline and development of Rick and Carol's romantic journey later in life. Listening to this audiobook made for a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon and evening.

Post-Retirement Love
I like all of Meg Ridley’s Over Forty series books including this one. What I liked about Wolf’s Golden Mate is that both main characters are WELL over 40, and they have a past that includes past loves. Rick had a fated mate once who was a perfect match for him, but he lost her. This is acknowledged in the book. In this universe, it’s also possible to find another mate that’s perfect for him, and that’s what happened when he met Carol. They are vibrant people with active interests that didn’t stop when they reached retirement age. Neither did the zexytime! I don’t often come across romances about post-retirement heroes and heroines, and this one was well done.
Here’s the breakdown.
Cat’s Stats
MMC/FMC- Rick and Carol
Genre- Paranormal Romance (Shifters, wolf)
Length- about 170 pages, including previews
Heat- 🌋🌋🌋
Series? Y. There were previous books about their adult children.
Safety? Y
Triggers- explicit erotic content, violence (including on-page beheading)
Tropes- Love After Loss, Midlife Love, Grandpa’s Still Got It, Fated Mates.
Narration Review- I think this narrator is very good. The voices were performed well and the narrator was clear and easy to understand.

I Enjoyed It
I was so happy Carol got her own story. I really liked her in the previous book (her daughter was the heroine there). I thought she and Rick had great chemistry and really hit it off. I loved both their kids trying to set them up together when they saw them get along. A really cute read. D.C. Cole did a great job bringing these characters to life.

Sweet Fated Mates Romance
This is the second book in the Shifter Nation: Destined Over Forty series, a paranormal romance. Carol and Rick's sweet fated mates romance is filled with intrigue, mystery, action, danger and twists and turns. I loved Carol in the first book in the series. She is Stacey's mother. Rick is older. He is handsome and protective. The storyline is original and captivating. D.C. Cole did an excellent job bringing these characters and this story to life. I enjoyed it. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
