At 46, I’m going through The Change....
In more ways than I’d ever imagined.

After Dean Thompson broke my heart 28 years ago,
I left my hometown and never looked back.
Now my adoptive parents are nearing their 80s,
And even though they’re shifters,
They need help more than they’d care to admit.
So I packed up my life and my hormonal teenage daughter
And finally headed home to Carlton.
Just as we were getting settled,
Mom accidentally started a fire at her chocolate shop.
And who showed up to put it out?
Friggin’ Dean.
He may have extinguished that flame,
But the second he took off his helmet,
He reignited one inside my soul.
I’d spent so long trying to forget that damn bear shifter,
But when he asked to catch up, I couldn’t resist,
Even though I knew it was bad news.
Now that I’m rekindling my relationship with Dean,
A truth is revealed about my past,
Forever changing the concept of life as I know it.
Hell, I thought menopause was a rollercoaster,
But buckle up, buttercup...it’s time for the ride of my life.
Steamy shifter love scenes and an HEA inside! No cheating or cliffhanger in this stand-alone romance. Listeners 18+.

One day Rebecca’s mom accidently sets the chocolate shop on fire and none other than Rebecca’s heart throb comes to put out the flames but he ignites a flame in Rebecca. Dean has never forgotten about Rebecca and has known for years that Rebecca is his fated mate and his bear lets him know. Dean is not sure how he should inform Rebecca about her being his mate.

This is a great read with an intriguing surprising twist that you will not want to miss this addition to the Fated Over Forty series.

Epitome example of main characters that can't get out of their own way of happiness. Throughout the book you're yelling at the main characters to just learn to communicate and they'd have had 'perfect' lives when they were teenagers instead of middle forties. It's a good read and shows how flawed we really are as people when we don't just shut up and actually listen.

This is a great addition to a very enjoyable series, it tells Rebecca and Dean's story and also shows very well the different attitudes people adopt at different ages. Rebecca and Dean were meant to be together but their road to happiness isn't a smooth one.

I like the narration by D C Cole, he did such a great job of bringing the characters to life.
