The Griffin's Mate

Hideaway Cove, Book 1

By: Zoe Chant

Narrated by: Kat Riley, Ash Beverly

Magic exists... and it doesn't want her. Her fated mate plans to change that.

Lainie Eaves has no idea she's descended from shifters. She doesn't even know shifters exist because when she was born human, her grandparents made sure she would never learn the truth about her family.

But now they're dead. And she's back in Hideaway Cove to deal with their crumbling old estate—and discover everything that was kept hidden from her.

Hideaway Cove is the only safe haven griffin shifter Harrison Galway has ever known—a place where, as a shifter, he can live without hiding what he is. When gorgeous, curvy Lainie arrives in town, he knows at once that she's his fated mate.

But her history with Hideaway Cove means where he sees a sanctuary, she only sees rejection. Can he heal her heart when all she wants to do is run away again?

The Griffin's Mate is a fated mates shifter romance where he falls first, with a cinnamon roll hero and a heroine who doesn't believe in magic or love—and is about to discover how wrong she is about both.

Escape to Hideaway Cove, a small town with a magical secret. Each book in the Hideaway Cove series can be enjoyed as a standalone and features powerful shifters falling head over heels for their fated mates. No cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happy-ever-after in every book!

This is a good one ... satisfying and easy listen

I do like an easy listen that is just a tiny, tiny bit more deep than a cozy, but still not angst-ridden. This is a perfect listen as you do whatever it is you're doing. It's not so complex that you need to focus tightly on it, you don't need to stress to remember names, but, there is clearly a good strong plot, lots of pleasant shifters, an old nosy, nasty female croc shifter that is a pest but not a threat, there's an intelligent, adult female lead, and a rather gentle, sweet male lead, an old house on a cliff, a mystery inheritance, it has all the plot goodies, plus a happy ending. I recommend it for your "I need a happy ending without having to go thru a bloody battle" list, smiles. I think you'll find it satisfying.
