Wolf's Midlife Christmas

Shifter Nation: Marked Over Forty

De: Meg Ripley

Narrado por: Elle Sonali

At 48, running a café while wrangling twin wolf toddlers was hard enough.
Then fate decided to mate me with a rock star, just in time for Christmas.
Welcome to my midlife crisis, holiday edition.

Here I am, guardian of my twin grandpups and café owner,
Thinking my biggest dilemma was choosing my next muffin flavor.
But fate had a Christmas twist up its sleeve.
Enter Declan Ridgefield, 45-year-old frontman of the band Wildwood,
And every woman’s fantasy come to life.
Never in a million years did I think I’d meet him,
But my friends dragged me along to a concert—
And managed to convince me to crowdsurf after a few drinks.
For a moment, I was flying—
Until I was falling, right there for everyone to see.
I wanted to crawl under a rock,
But Declan pulled me up on stage,
And the moment we touched,
My wolf knew she’d finally found The One.
But a rock star?
Declan's life is sold-out shows and screaming fans.
Mine’s sold-out avocado toast and screaming kids.
Then there's his ex-bandmate with revenge on his mind,
Threatening to turn our Christmas dreams into a holiday nightmare.
Declan and I are an unlikely duet,
But maybe, just maybe, we'll find our harmony amid the chaos.

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

Great shifter story

“Wolf’s Midlife Christmas” by Meg Ripley

A heartwarming, steamy fated-mates romance with mature leads who thought love had passed them by. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily sharing my honest thoughts.

Tiffany and Declan’s chemistry sizzles despite their very different lives and lingering doubts. With cozy holiday vibes, pack drama, and grandbaby cuteness, this is midlife magic.

A feel-good read that proves it’s never too late for true love.
I read the book and listened to the audiobook also.

Falling for the rockstar

I love this series, how characters cross over in each story. This is Tiffany and Declan's story of becoming mates. This book did not disappoint. It has romance, falling in love and danger that ends in a happy ever after. I could read this book over and over and not feel like it is stale. The characters are well written and come alive between the pages.

Midlife Christmas

Another great listen Declan and Tiffany story a gorgeous rock star meet his forever mate when she jumps up on stage and they set sparks flying from the get go great ending overall I received a free copy of this book via book sprout and wanted to leave a review

Sweet

This is a sweet romance. Reminding us that it is never too late to find you one true mate in life.

Modern Day Shifter Romance

A solid listen with standout narration by Elle Sonali—always a pleasure to hear her work. This story leans more into modern romance with just a light touch of shifter elements. While I had hoped for a bit more focus on the paranormal side, it was still an engaging and enjoyable experience overall.

I enjoyed the audiobook just as much as the ebook!

I enjoyed the listen and the giggles I got from it. The narrator Elle always does a good job for Meg Ripley's stories. The story embodies that during at least the holidays or every day of the year it's not the possessions you have that make a person happy it's the love you share with the people you care about. I enjoyed this very much.

Fated Mates

Declan Ridgefield is home from touring with Wildwood. It’s only another quick stop in his crazy schedule. He never thought he might find her and he never believed for even a minute it was possible.

Tiffany Fairmount is struggling to balance her café and grandkids. She doesn’t have time to get out even if she is a lifelong fan of Wildwood. Her cousin convinces her for just one night. She never believed she would find him. After the life she led with an arranged marriage which is cordial at the best of times.

They have both lived and seen life. The lives they have chosen to do not seem to blend at all. But they are drawn to each other no matter how each fight it. These characters are really and draw at your heartstrings from the get-go. I really loved this one and where Declan and Tiffany were. How they worked to get where they wanted to be. This was a great addition to the series and I’m excited to learn more about elusive Carter. If you have tried this series yet this is the book to give it a whirl. Sexy man candy exists at any age.

Oh Declan

Tiffany and Declan's first meeting is definitely one that will be memorable, lol. Tiffany is living a lot of our fantasies of snagging the attention of a rockstar but of course she's a little weary due to her family life. It was good to see Declan being so willing to do what he can to keep Tiffany.
