Dragon's Midlife Soulmate

Shifter Nation: Fated Over Forty

De: Meg Ripley

Narrado por: D.C. Cole

After a hellish divorce at 48, I’m ready for a new life.
But I just found out this isn’t the only one I’ve lived.

My husband sent pics of his eggplant to every woman in Florida,
And once I caught on, it was time to divorce the pig.
I packed up the RV we’d planned to drive cross-country together,
And headed off on an adventure, all on my own.
I rolled to a stop in Carlton after finding a paramedic job,
But it felt like déjà vu when I met the hunky fire chief,
And a fiery blaze ignited between us instantly.
I can’t shake the feeling we’ve met before,
And when a medium unlocks the secret to my past with August,
This little midlife adventure of mine turns into a straight up freak show.
You see, even though he looks about fifty,
August is a six-hundred-year-old dragon.
And my husband from a past life.

Steamy shifter love scenes and an HEA inside! No cheating or cliffhanger in this standalone romance. Listeners 18+.

Reincarnation?

August didn’t know what to think when he met Lisa the new paramedic. He had been alone for centuries and his dragon couldn’t let the thought of her go.

Lisa is living her best life any way she wants after her divorce. Carlton was meant to be a pit stop along the way on her journey. August was unexpected. Their connection confusing. As she learns her nightmares are a past life she will never be the same.

Does she have the courage to try again? Can they defeat the past.

August and Lisa are amazing characters who have both overcome hardships and trying to find their HEA. This is another amazing couple in the Carleton world.

Forever love

Really enjoyed this story of Lisa and Andrew. Their first meeting they feel an instant connection and later on we get to understand why. I loved that idea that no matter what they will find each other.

August and Elisa

August is a tractive to the new paramedic in town. He’s dragging his two which is so strange. Elisa who is new is attracted to August also. Suspense?. Yes. There are villains in this good story. There is a venture for all the characters involved. Cameos from the bear shifters from the previous stories but is a standalone book. Performance and storyline is really good. No cliffhangers.

I received this Audiobook as a free, copy via Booksprout, i volunteered to leave a honest review.

Wonderful listen

I totally loved this wonderful book. August has a past he is unable to get over, but when he meets Lisa he realizes wants to. Lisa is looking for a fresh start, will she find it with August or somewhere else. I loved all the twists and the things that shaped the future for them. This book will grab you and not release you till the end. You won’t be disappointed at all. The narrator brings this story to life, the characters reach out and grab you.

Arc review/audible

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. In this story august hill is a dragon shifter who is very old and when he meets Lisa Perez they are drawn to each other as if they have know each other before. Very cute.

Finding each other again

Book six of Shifter Nation: Fated Over Forty series. Dragon shifter August Hill and human Lisa Perez meet when they both answer a 911 call. They both have a feeling that they know each other. The story has suspense, drama, danger, twists, turns, reincarnation, a villain and romance. The story is well written and kept me turning pages. I also enjoyed listening to D.C. Cole narrate this story. I am beginning to find I enjoy listening to a book that I have already read as it seems to give the story more depth.

My Dragon

This is August and Lisa's stroy. She left her husband and travels. Stopping in a town to work she meets August. August is the chief and dragon. Hot as anything. Read to see how it turns out.

Mates Across Time and Space

I've listened to almost every book in this series as it has come out, and except for one book, I’ve enjoyed each of them. This book is no exception. I think part of the appeal is that the stories feature an older couple, not those in the first flush of youth or their first relationship. So, each half of the duo comes to their story with a complex backstory that has molded them, and therefore, affects their future relationship. The author chose a fascinating backstory for this couple that utterly charmed me. I've been a student of metaphysics for decades, and the author incorporated this in a fantastic way—and very believably if you believe in reincarnation, spirit guides, and the Akashic record. The male dragon shifter has lived for centuries, and he's never quite gotten over losing his human wife to fire back in the Middle Ages. He is haunted by images and memories of her centuries later. Despite this, the hero—and his dragon—is drawn to the heroine immediately in a way that hasn't happened to him since the loss of his wife. He can't quite understand their instant, potent attraction. The heroine has dreams of being trapped in a fire, nightmares that come to her each evening as she seemingly relives different parts of the full story. Despite her nightly terrors, she confronts them daily as an EMT often called to fire scenes. She's new to the area, recently passed an unpleasant divorce from her unfaithful husband. Her son is now grown and on his own, so her second act will be truly hers, and she sets off in an RV to live her new life. Both have quite a bit to sort through as they figure out their feelings and pasts—and whether they want to go down this new road together, knowing what they know. Thankfully, the author didn't throw in any extraneous road bumps or make the story over-angsty. The necessary roadblocks felt natural to the story and the characters. There's also an external villain from the hero's distant past. I loved how the heroine was able to protect and assist her man, even though she is a human going up against a mighty old dragon! An excellent story with delightful characters. Highly recommended.

I do have a quibble with the narrator. The author has used the same male narrator throughout this series. I think he does a good job portraying the usually gritty male shifters in these stories, adding just enough acting to keep up the pace without being distracting. I happen to be from the Pacific Northwest where this story takes place, and I take exception to how he pronounced a restaurant! The author chose an actual popular PNW chain for this restaurant, and even though the word is only two syllables long, the narrator manages to completely mispronounce it! This one would be such a simple thing to get right, one that would have taken him less than 5 seconds to sort out. Just call one of the chain’s outlets and listen to how they pronounce it!

Shifters

Love these stories. In this story we are still with the firefighters and Hugh and Kelly play a big part in Lisa and August getting to their happily ever after. Loved how this was written, so beautiful and magical. A great romance that last lasts forever. I will be looking into this series more. The narrator is terrible with the female voices, it's the only problem I have with the audiobook. The male voices are great.
