If life begins at 40, why does it feel like it passed her by?Until Jen’s husband died, her life revolved around him and his award-winning work. Now she’s a 50-something childless widow looking ahead to a long, lonely retirement. Her meetings with the Baker Street Writers’ Group are the only bright spots in her week.And then he sweeps in — handsome, brilliant, and amazing, definitely the kind of … amazing, definitely the kind of man who wouldn’t be interested in a woman like Jen. Even if his touch sets her on fire, and she could lose herself forever in his eyes. But she can’t help feeling like he’s hiding something. She’s not going to let herself go through this again, and lose her heart to a man who could never put her first.
Of course if he was going to finally find his mate, it would happen at the worst possible time!
King of an island of shifters, Nikos is in town to help his old friends Mikhail and Joey with their evil-dragon problem, and now he’s lost himself in a pair of beautiful eyes.
Jen is kind, lovely, and stronger than she knows, a perfect match for his unicorn. There’s nothing he wants more than to worship her as she deserves. But he has to hold her at arm’s length. If she’s hurt because of him, he’ll never forgive himself.
But neither of them are prepared for a shocking transformation that will rock both their worlds to the core, and open both their hearts up to a kind of love they never believed existed.
A romance with a dash of comedy, plenty of action, and a wildly romantic courtship on a magical island paradise!

Silver Unicorn is the third title in the Silver Shifters series, and while I’ve loved the earlier books this one blew me away – and I’m tempted to do an immediate reread to pick up nuances I’m sure I missed in needing to know what happens next.
Jen and Nikos’ story builds slowly, gaining speed and intensity along the way until the reader is swept away into a story that I certainly didn’t want to end any time soon. Unfortunately, I don’t feel that I can safely talk about Silver Unicorn without giving away vital spoilers – and I don’t willingly do spoilers. Most of what you’d need to know before picking up this title can be found in the Cover Description. What you won’t find there is the emotional impact that this couple has on each other or how the mythical creatures you’re about to meet will dazzle and engage or enrage you on so many levels. Jen’s transformation is stunning, and watching the connection between these mates as they adjusted to what has happened is magical.
I’ve made no secret of the fact that I love and am addicted to the many “Zoe Chant” series, yet this story is up there in my top five favorites of all, and I don’t see it leaving that spot for a very long time, if ever. I would highly recommend Silver Unicorn and the entire series to any Paranormal Romance or Shifter Romance reader without hesitation. I’m also aware that not everyone enjoys the same stories — but this one stunned me, in a good way, and my anticipation for the next story in the series is running very, very high right now.
I read this title through my Kindle Unlimited subscription.
Jen is a 50 something widow whose life revolved around her husband and his award winning work. Now the bright spots in her life are the meetings with her writers’ group and teaching martial arts. Then she meets Nikos who literally sweeps into her life and changes things. Unbeknownst to her, Nikos is a shifter and king of an island of shifters. And she’s his mate! Nikos is here to help his friends, Joey and Mikhail, with their problem of an evil dragon who’s after an orb. When Jen is kidnapped, things take a shocking turn that rocks the world for both Jen and Nikos.
I’m a huge Zoe Chant fan and this series is one of my favorites. I loved this book and the way Jen slowly came out of her shell. The book’s well-written with well-rounded characters, some of whom you’ll like and others you won’t. Full of mystery and intrigue, this book captured me from the beginning and kept me hooked until the end. I was totally entranced and am eager for the next book. I highly recommend both book and series which I suggest you read in order.
I’d give this a 3.5
*WARNING* story contains explicit adult content
This was JUST okay for me. I liked that there was not sex scenes in every other page. I think there was room for more description in the place Nikos lived. This story was a take it or leave it for me.
exceptionally great read
This is my first Zoe ‘Silver’ book. As a woman over 40, I needed this. There is still love out there for us. Be it widowed, divorced or just still single, we can find a HEA. Jen would be amazing at any age. Realizing she loved, but had not been in love, was her journey. It lead her to Nikos. From there she learned how to live. Nikos was perfect as middle aged, even though he had lived a lot longer, and a great match for Jen. There was action and romance. A few surprises. And a whole lotta fun. I can’t wait to read not only the next book, but also the previous ones. This is my voluntary opinion of an advanced copy I received.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
This was a great book !
Jen lived her life around her husband.
Now she is a widowed, and she never thought she would find love again.
While helping his friend, Nikos also found his mate.
Now what to do ?
Loved the characters + the storytelling !
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
