He has friends, a new family, a job. Everything he needs to build a life. But without a pack, there’s still a hole in his heart—even if he can’t see it.
Three shifter kids desperately need a family…
Jacqueline doesn’t know what to expect when she responds to an emergency call-out in a remote marine reserve, but it’s nothing like this: three lost children who can turn into seals, and a ruggedly handsome man who makes her blood run hotter than it ever has before.
Jacqueline gave up on happy endings long ago. Arlo thought he’d already found his—at least, as happy as he was ever going to get. But with three unruly seal shifter kids in the mix, they’re about to find out just how wrong they were.

Rescue at sea
Some things are just meant to be and the author did a fantastic job of leading us along a path to a HEA that had to be fate working hard. I love the way the story builds upon all of the feelings and emotions each character has. They were brought together in the most unlikely of ways and yet you just know it was fates plan from the beginning. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
** spoiler alert ** Jacqueline is struggling with being stagnant after her divorce. Arlo doesn’t think he has anything to offer a mate. Orphaned children bring them together. Will Jacqueline realize she is enough? Will Arlo be able to keep his own pack?
I loved how both of these characters were protective over the kids, regardless of the circumstances. I loved the fact that while raised to believe one thing, Arlo was slowly realizing that human mates weren’t against anything. I didn’t blame Jacqueline for being scared after what her ex did to her, but loved how in the end she decided to fight for her happiness. Great read!
Jacqueline is divorced and working at the county sheriff’s office to pay off the mortgage on an empty house. Her ex-husband is married again with a child who obviously came about before the divorce. On the night of the local Spring Fling, Jacqueline finds herself answering the phones’ in the sheriff’s while the phone lines are crossed and she’s getting multiple wrong numbers. But one call comes in that mentions nearby Hideaway Cove and children left at a local beach. Unable to reach the sheriff, Jacqueline goes to get the children herself. She gets her car stuck but finds the children only to discover that they can shift into seals. She sees one child out on the rocks and risks her life to save the little girl. Arlo is out on his boat when he hears the children and heads their way. He’s surprised to see Jacqueline but jumps in to rescue her when he sees her get caught in a wave. Once he gets her and the three children on his boat he realizes Jacqueline is his mate but is afraid he’ll mess things up so decides to take things slowly.
Both Arlo and Jacqueline have some personal issues to work through before they wind up together realizing that being with each other is all they need. Well-written with well-rounded characters, this book is a fabulous read and a great addition to the series. I’m looking forward to more books about Hideaway Cove. I highly recommend this book and the series.
My Thoughts – 5 out of 5 Unicorns – I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I received a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book! I buy most of Zoe Chant’s books because I love her HEAs and her style of writing! I do own this one too!
The cover is very nice indeed!
This is the 2nd book in this series. This is for adults only due to the steamy content. While not necessary, I find more enjoyment reading the books in order because when you meet Lainie and Harrison you will know who they are and have some background on this town.
I really like Jacqueline, Arlo, and the kids. Things start out dicey where Jacqueline had to go check on some kids. The kids let the cat out of the bag. Arlo and Jacqueline are trying to figure things out. It was a touching story that I loved because I always love seeing when kids get what they need. More emotional baggage and drama than action, but it worked. I really like this little town and can’t wait to see who gets their mate next!
I highly recommend to shifter fans especially if you love Zoe Chant’s style. I have loved all of her books, and I will definitely keep reading them!
Another winner from Zoe Chant. As with some of her previous works I’ve read and reviewed, The Sea Wolf’s Mate is a well written tale with several non traditional elements to the usual romance – paranormal or otherwise. Great characters and a plot that reads smoothly work to make this a wonderful read. Enjoy!
A well written, solid love story, this story is easy to read, the characters are well developed, the plot runs smooth and there is action spread throughout the book. Jacqueline and Adam make a good team, and the kids know it before they do. I thought the story was nicely developed and it was a good read, there were some points that dragged a little, but overall, the read was enjoyable and sweet.
She is human he is a wolf shifter. She discovers shifters by accident but handles it well.. She takes a call that the lines have crossed and shouldn’t have gone to the sheriffs office where she works. She finds 3 kids that are actually seal shifters and siblings that are running away from a human foster home. While rescuing them she falls in the water and Arlo saves her as he was hearing the children in his head hollaring for help.
I like the speed of the book and its characters. Loved it great job! I have never been disappointed in any of Zoe’s books she doesn’t let us down. Keep up the great work.

A fast paced, and a little steamy, romance. A new pack is born, with a wolf, his human mate, 3 seals and a goose.
While this is the second book in the series, it reads well as a stand alone. Really liked Arlo and Jacqueline’s story.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
It was a great book !
Jacqueline was betrayed by her husband, when she could not give him a child.
Arlo found a second chance, when he moved to Hideaway Cove.
Now, three orphaned shifters children need Jacqueline + Arlo.
Will they answer the call ?
Loved the characters + the storytelling !
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
Loved the Hidaway Cove series and Arlo and Jacqueline’s was great. They both find out dreams can come true
