Publisher's summary

At 46, I went back to college to learn about mythical creatures.
I never thought my hot professor would turn me into one.


After giving my life to raising my daughters,
It was time for me to live out my dream
And go back to school to get my degree.
Meeting a cute guy my age in the coffee shop,
I thought my first day was off to a great start.
Until I got to class and realized Sean was my professor.
My daughter says he’s the campus crush,
But just like the creatures in his folklore lectures,
His private life is shrouded in mystery—
Which only made me want to find out more.
I signed up for an extra credit field trip,
Looking for Bigfoot in the woods.
But when my car broke down and he drove me home,
The professor gave me an education I’ll never forget.
I’m his student, so we’re forbidden to be together,
But that’s just the beginning of my troubles.
During another outing, I’m shot by a hunter,
And as I lay dying in the forest,
Sean offers me a second chance at life.
He changes into a wolf right before my eyes,
And when he bites me, I return from the brink of death—
As a wolf, just like him.

Steamy shifter love scenes and an HEA inside! No cheating or cliffhanger in this standalone romance. Listeners18+."

Turned by the Midlife Wolf

Angela is in her 40s and it's her first day at college. She put it on the back burner when she raised her two daughters. She is excited and scared. She goes for coffee and there are a couple of college girls that are giggling and looking at her. Then one goth looking girl tells her there is something brown on her backside pocket. A nice looking man takes his cardigan off and tells her to tie it around herself. The goth girl and her take off for class. To her surprise the nice man is the professor in her class.
Sean is a professor of folklore. It's the first day of the semester and he is hopeful although from previous years he knows it may be down heartening. To his surprise the woman he helped out at the coffee shop is in his class. To his utter surprise his wolf recognized her as his mate. He has been looking for her for years and now here she is but she's human. He is a wolf. Plus he's a professor going for tenure.
Thus begins the longest few months of his life for both him and his wolf. His wolf wants it's mate now. Sean is more conservative.
Slowly he and she come close until the day something happens that opens her eyes to the paranormal and changes her life unequivocally. Will she accept him and will her daughters? Can she accept her life has changed??
Elle Sonali is a fantastic narrator who brings a calm and quiet demeanor to Angela as well as to Sean as they both manouever through a relationship and the results of it.
A fantastic audio and story!!.

Awesome

Angela is returning to school in her 40's. She always wanted to be a writer but raised her daughters instead until they were grown. She meet Sean, one of her professors, and there's attraction there. When out on a field study, she's shot by a hunter; The hunter was shooting at a sasquatch that was near by. Sean is a wolf shifter and he changes her into a shifter to save her life. Angela struggles with the knowledge of being a shifter, but realizes a lot has to do with her childhood up bringing and her belief in sasquatch. When the hunter hunts down Angela and Sean, Sean fights the hunter to protect them.
OK, I really like this story. It's whimsical, good characters, little steam,and happily-ever-mated. The feelings of Sean and Angela is written well that you feel their struggle and pain.

The audiobook is done very well. Elle Sonali narrates and does a wonderful job with it. I couldn't stop listening until I finished the book. Very enjoyable.

What I liked- I like that this series is based on the idea that people over forty can find passionate love. I liked the characters and I found the ideas about folklore and cryptids very interesting. The Sasquatch really elevated the story to something special. The first sexytime scene was very hot.
Narrator Review- I give the narrator a 4/5 because I thought her pacing was inconsistent- sometimes appropriate but often very slow.

Awesome Amazing Story !! . . .

Angela Garcia has raised her family and is finally ready now to attend Eugene University to pursue her dream. She meets a handsome man at the campus coffee shop and they chat while waiting for their coffee order. The younger students were all giggling from the time she walked in. Finally one girl, Renata, told her she had something brown smeared all over the back of her pants. She must have been sitting on a piece of her chocolate muffin in the car! She was embarrassed but the handsome man pulled off his sweater and told her to tie it around her for the rest of the day and she would be fine. He had a t-shirt under the sweater, so he was okay in that and his jeans as he rushed off to class. Renata was going to the same place as Angela and assured her they would not be late as they walked together. Both taking the same class, they took their seats as her handsome hero from the coffee shop, Sean Deschamps, introduced himself as their professor in her American Folklore class. Sean hadn’t seen her yet in the back of the room, but his wolf was acting crazy this morning. And when he finally spotted her, he knew this would be a difficult semester as he stared at his mate!

Angela returned Sean’s sweater at his office and, as they touched, they felt a spark between them. He asked if she would come on the Bigfoot search that weekend for extra credit. On another search without the entire class to scare the creature off, Angela ended up getting shot in the stomach. Renata was also in the woods, said she was looking for her phone and heard the shot. With no cell signal, they could not get an ambulance in time. So Renata, a wolf shifter, looked at Sean and told him there was only one way they could save her life. He was Angela’s mate, so he offered to bite her and hope she could shift if it was not too late. A shadow fell on them and a sasquatch stood looking down at Angela. The creature touched her shoulder next to the bite and she shifted! But his student Callum was also in the woods and had just used his phone to video what had happened! Would their secret be made public now? And would she accept her mate after he explained all of this to her?

Loved this couple

Truly love this series. Angela is 46 year old woman that returns to school to seek her education in creative writing. After a slight disaster her first day puts her in Sean’s path. Loved their back and forth of trying to fight their pull. The side characters were amazing in this one too.

Awesome

I couldn’t get enough of this awesome book. So many exciting surprises, twists and intriguing characters. I loved the relationship Angela had with her daughters, and how much strength she possessed. I loved how in tuned to everything Sean is. I got pulled in from the start, from their first meeting.

So interesting

I love Angela and Sean. I love their connection. I love that she is going to school and going after her dreams. I love that we get to visit with the pack. I love the intrigue and danger that they face. I love that she gets glimpses from her past, her mom. I love that Sean is so careful with her. I love Renatta and I hope we get a story from her, even though she is young. I like the audible version because it sounds smooth and has nice tones.
