Forbidden Midlife Mate by Meg Ripley

Posted January 5, 2023 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Seasoned Romance, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

When my husband ran off with our saloon’s hostess, I packed my bags and left Montana, joining my college-aged son in Oregon.

Eugene’s a far cry from my little hometown, but I’m doing my best to blend in with the locals.  I grabbed my new fitness tracker and headed out for a jog.  Deep into the trail, I thought I stumbled upon some hippies until they changed into wolves.  And the moment I screamed, they set their sights on me.  I ran for my life until my clumsy ass tripped and blacked out.

Now I’m waking up on a handsome stranger’s couch, with no recollection of what I’d just seen.  Rex is intimidating and a little rough around the edges.  But something about him sets me on fire.  And when I land a job, and he ends up being my boss, he awakens something deep inside me, and it’s not just another hot flash.

Too bad Rex is the only one who wants me around.  My coworkers at the rock club have it in for me, and when they threaten me after work one night, a nightmare comes to life before my very eyes.  In mere seconds, they shift from men to snarling wolves.

But I realize that nightmare is just beginning when I look down at my trembling hands… and see snow-white paws instead.

Joey’s mate, Breeze, is a midwife. She’s about to deliver his friend Polly’s baby. The problem is, Breeze thinks he is the father of the baby—And that Joey and Polly are married.

Fate sure has a sense of humor when it comes to true mates.

Joey’s longing for a mate is finally brought to an end when he meets Breeze. After straightening out their brief misunderstanding he asks Breeze out on a date. She eventually says yes. However, Breeze is afraid to commit to a relationship with Joey, or any other man, because she has been unexpectedly left to care for her nephew, Tristan.

Can Joey persuade Breeze that he can be there for them both? After all, to a shifter like Joey, his mate’s family is his family.

Breeze moved to Bear Creek for a new start. However, her problems followed her. At least her sister’s problems did. When her sister’s marriage implodes Breeze left to pick up the pieces and Tristan comes to stay.

When she meets Joey, she is instantly drawn to him. Breeze doesn’t want Tristan to feel threatened by the new relationship but not falling in love with Joey is going to be hard. He’s the perfect man for her and would be the kind of father figure Tristan has been missing his whole life.

Just as things start to work themselves out, Breeze’s sister and her husband come to town and throw Breeze’s plans into disarray.

Can Joey and Breeze find a way to true happiness? For themselves and Tristan.

Silver Unicorn by Zoe Chant

Posted May 12, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter, Shifter Seasoned Romance, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

If life begins at 40, why does it feel like it passed her by?

Until Jen’s husband died, her life revolved around him and his award-winning work. Now she’s a 50-something childless widow looking ahead to a long, lonely retirement. Her meetings with the Baker Street Writers’ Group are the only bright spots in her week.

And then he sweeps in — handsome, brilliant, and amazing, definitely the kind of man who wouldn’t be interested in a woman like Jen. Even if his touch sets her on fire, and she could lose herself forever in his eyes. But she can’t help feeling like he’s hiding something. She’s not going to let herself go through this again, and lose her heart to a man who could never put her first.

Of course, if he was going to finally find his mate, it would happen at the worst possible time!

King of an island of shifters, Nikos is in town to help his old friends Mikhail and Joey with their evil-dragon problem, and now he’s lost himself in a pair of beautiful eyes.

Jen is kind, lovely, and stronger than she knows, a perfect match for his unicorn. There’s nothing he wants more than to worship her as she deserves. But he has to hold her at arm’s length. If she’s hurt because of him, he’ll never forgive himself.

But neither of them is prepared for a shocking transformation that will rock both their worlds to the core and open both their hearts up to a kind of love they never believed existed.

This is an adult 18+ story that contains language, possible violence, and sexual situations geared to an adult audience.

Hex by Harmony Raines

Posted April 21, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter Connected, Shifter Seasoned Romance, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Is he truly cursed? Could fate be that cruel?

Hex by name and hexed by nature. Cursed to dream of his mate dying night after night. To feel the cold water fill his lungs and force the last breath from his body. Just as one day his mate would die in the ice-cold water of the creek.

Perhaps it was a good thing that Hex had never met her. If his mate never entered his life, she wouldn’t suffer the cruel fate he’d relived over and over again.

Then he meets Martha, a cougar from Cougar Ridge and he knows he must see his dream as a blessing, not a curse. What if the dream was given to him as a gift so that he can save her?

Martha has returned to Cougar Ridge to care for her mom who is sick. As a forty-something cougar shifter who longed for a mate and children, she’d put all her energy into forging out a successful career in the city. She had almost given up on finding her mate and then fate brings him into her life and into her heart.

But Hex seems standoffish, as if he isn’t ready to commit, even though he is a bear shifter who should share the same need to find his mate and raise a family.

Martha soon finds out Hex has a secret. A secret that has haunted him his whole life.

Is it possible he has foreseen her death? Can they work together to make sure she stays alive so they can live together forever?

Or has Hex got it wrong? Is it really Martha’s death he dreams of, or his own?

This is an adult 18+ story that contains language, possible violence and sexual situations geared to an adult audience.  A silverback seasoned shifters romance.

Now, it’s his turn. High in the mountains, he senses her. His mate. The woman he’s waited his whole life for is finally within reach.  However, something holds him back. She’s with someone. A shifter. But not just any shifter.

The thing that scares Shannon the most is what happens if they don’t find the treasure and pay off the debt.

After keeping Lorcan safe his whole life, her world soon spirals out of control. But then Jason comes into their lives. Jason who calls Shannon his mate and will do anything to keep her and Lorcan safe.  Can she accept his help?

Gunner by Harmony Raines

Posted October 20, 2019 by Marsha in Shifter Connected, Shifter Seasoned Romance, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

A bear shifter in need of redemption. A mate in need of revenge.

Something called to Gunner. Something he could not describe. A need to go into the mountains.

He’d heeded the call even though he had no idea what he’d find. Certainly, he’d never expected to find his mate. Gunner had long stopped hoping she would walk into his life. Not that Sadie did walk into his life. She crawled, on all fours, determined to get down off the mountain and avenge the death of her friend.

But Gunner knew revenge led to ruin and death. Could he protect his mate from harm, even if that harm was self-inflicted?

They’d killed her friend and mentor.

Sadie couldn’t get the image of Professor Augustine, lying in a pool of his own blood, out of her head. No matter how dangerous it was she had to avenge his death and bring those responsible to justice.

But who could she trust?

Should she believe in the man—bear—who had found her in the mountains? Should she believe him when he calls her mate and tells her they are meant to be together forever? It all seems impossible. Sadie had accepted she would always be alone. People confused her. They said one thing and meant another.

But when she was with Gunner, everything made sense.

This is an adult 18+ story that contains language, possible violence and sexual situations geared to an adult audience.

Max by Harmony Raines

These bachelor brothers are about to have their world turned upside down!

Max, Tad, and Jake think fate – and mates – have passed them by. Resigned to life alone, they have each put all their energy into their careers. However, change arrives in the small but perfectly formed guise of baby Milly. Orphaned when her mother overdoses on drugs, Milly brings out the protective side in all three bear shifter brothers.

Well, Jake might need a little persuading!

But that’s not all.

When Milly’s foster mom, Josephine, comes to visit, Max instantly knows she is his mate. Max is more than ready to open his heart and his home to Milly and Josephine. But Josephine has a hidden past, and as danger threatens, he will do whatever it takes to keep his new family safe.

Josephine has a past she’d rather forget. But visions of the abuse she suffered at the hands of an ex-boyfriend, are impossible to wipe from her memory. Not that she’s let his actions prevent her from building a good life for herself. One where she provides love and care for children in need.

However, she’s never let anyone else in. She’s never allowed herself to trust another man.

But now, Max tells her she is his mate. Josephine knows what that means. And she wants to be part of a family, a real loving family, for the first time. Can she open her heart to love?

Just when she finds the answer to that question, her past finally catches up with her.

This is an adult 18+ story that contains language, possible violence and sexual situations geared to an adult audience.
