About this book
Emma Luchessi may be a witch from Long Island but she is used to her life being quiet. Some may even say boring. Boring is safe. Like beige. One doesn't get into trouble with beige. But a wrong turn off a southern highway is about to turn Emma's beige life into everything but boring.
Kyle Treharne's a good ol' boy with a sheriff's badge and a difficult population to manage. He wishes he had to worry about gangs and drugs and car-jackings. Instead, he has to worry about big cats fighting with wolves, bears fighting over honey, and hyenas fighting with everyone. And now, out of nowhere, he's got a human outsider riling up all the locals by asking too many questions. She's just so paranoid. And doesn't trust Kyle a lick.
Of course, Kyle is a big cat. He knows how to relax and he'd be more than willing to help Emma learn how. He'd be willing to help Emma do all sorts of things if she'd just give him half a chance.
But it turns out Emma coming to Smithville isn't a simple accident. She's been brought here and she's bringing change and danger right along with her. Lucky for Emma, Kyle and the rest of the town like a bit of danger . . .
Contains mature themes.

Well really it’s going to the cats, but regardless this book is amazing! I love the humor the author sprinkled in with the action and danger. It gave the story a more realistic feel and made it so easy to fall in love with the characters. And the characters were fantastic! I love the slow easygoing of those southern boys and the fast paced energy of the yankee ladies. The author enthralled me from the beginning and, even at the end, I wish there was more. I would love to see what HEAs Bear,...

OMG How did I miss this series by Shelly Laurenston. I can’t believe I haven’t read this sooner. I love Laurenston. She always makes me smile and laugh with her stories. My Kind of Town is a short story in The Long Island Coven series. It does take place in the same universe as her other shifter series, but without any character connections. The Long Island Coven series is an unfinished series, boo hoo, and I do hope/wish the author will one day come back to it; because there are more...

Cute, sexy story about change, acceptance, and love. The characters are funny and believable and I just fell in live with all of them. Lots of mystery, magick, and surprisingly light drama, which is what I was looking for. Great comedy involving many scenes with me laughing so hard I was in tears! And the heat between Kyle and Emma made my glasses steam.....which is an a plus plus in my book! Definite Oh my! Factor! I'd definitely read this if you're into shifter romances )

I have read- and reread Shelly's shifter series- and I'm never let down. I some how managed to miss this short, fun read- but have corrected my mistake. The characters are easy to fall in love with and the story line had me laughing throughout. This is a short read- so if that was an issue- no worries- there more where this came from. Plenty of shifting throughout the book (sometimes authors tend to forget the shifting/ animal aspect). Shelly gives the right balance of animal instinct mixed in...
