Wolf’s Midlife Christmas (Shifter Nation: Marked Over Forty) by Meg Ripley


 

Blurb:

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.

 

My review:

Wolf’s Midlife Christmas is a sweet tale of mature love. Widow Tiffany has a full and busy life she runs her café, is raising her grandchildren as her daughter is currently unable to. Her marriage was arranged and nothing to write home about so she is content. Declan’s life is on the road as lead singer for the band Wildwood, When the band comes home for a concert he and Tiffany have a wonderful meet cute and their wolven sides scream mate! I enjoyed watching them fight fate and realizing their very different lives, working on a way to make it work without resentment. A happy addition to the series but can be read standalone.
