Dragon's Golden Mate (Shifter Nation: Enchanted Over Forty)

By: Meg Ripley

Narrated by: D C Cole

I thought my days of love had passed—until his dragon reignited my heart.

I buried my heart along with my fated mate years ago—or so I thought.

Kendrick Alexander shows up at my grandson’s birthday party, a handsome dragon shifter with a builder’s hands and a guarded heart. He’s everything I swore I’d never risk again—but there’s no denying my inner wolf’s need for him. He’s been tasked to protect one of Salem’s old cathedrals, and he needs my help to uncover its secrets.

The closer Kendrick and I get to the truth, the harder it becomes to deny what’s happening between us. The building hums with dangerous magic, pulling my coven into the battle of our lives.

The fight for Salem’s future may tear us apart—or give us another chance at love that neither of us expected.

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

Kendrick and Maeve

The second book in the Shifter Nation: Enchanted Over Forty series. Kendrick Alexander, a 600-plus-year-old dragon shifter, and Maeve, a wolf shifter and grandmother. Their story truly held my interest and kept me listenig to their story. The story is exceptionally well written, featuring a compelling storyline and great, memorable characters. I was particularly pleased with the happy ending, which was very satisfying. I enjoyed listening to D C Cole narrate their story.

Never too old

I am really enjoying Meg Ripleys series with older characters. It brings a new aspect to romance.

Rick Westbrook moved to be closer to his son for family and to be near his granddaughter. Carol Donovan has also lost her significant other years ago and picked up to move with her daughter. Neither of them expected to meet and have a chance at a second love in their lifetime.

I love the obsticles they work through to get to their HEA. The outside angst working against them and the pack in town. This is a heartwarming story that I couldn't put down.

I loved it.

I love Meg Ripley's stories with older characters. Probably because I am close to that age now. But the inner dialogue the characters have regarding starting a new relationship at their age is so believable. It is what I would have if I was in their shoes. The feelings between the characters is heartfelt. Great story.

Enjoyable Shifter Story

This shifter story had an imaginative plot and some interesting characters. There was also enough action to hold my attention throughout the book. I really liked the addition of the Gargoyles in the church. It was definitely a clever and entertaining twist in the plot. Having the main characters be seniors with more maturity and experience was a nice touch, too. As always, D. C. Cole's narration was spot on, adding life to a fun read.
