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.

I enjoyed this story very much. I'm off to Amazon to see if there is a series about this shifter town and witch coven. I'm definitely hoping for more!

Adorable story!

I enjoyed Shelly Laurenston's Pride and Badger series so much. The humor and the characters are such fun.

For My Kind of Town, though--this is not so. It is linked with the series I mentioned above because it is Smithvill and seems to have shifters with the same rules. There is little to no humor in this story and the main character's internal dialog is flat and uninteresting.

The narration is awful. The breathy, one dimensional voice is distracting and doesn't fit. She doesn't even attempt a NY or Long Island accent and her execution of a deep south accent is spotty and lackluster.

This just isn't up to the standards I'm used to from Shelly Laurenston.

Lacks humor, bad narration.

Love author and shifter books, not really care for witches, however, I felt like this was a fun storyline, just wished there was more or at least another book to continue with the many characters (maybe there are in ebooks?)good narration by Ms. Willingham.

Good story but felt short

The story was solid, especially if you're a fan of this author. However, as is too often the case, this is a 2007 copyright with no mention that you may have enjoyed this story before. The narrator did not understand this author's humor, so listening to the story made the humor fall a bit flat.

Not really a fan of the narrator. Her timing is... off somehow. Story was good. It feels like this book is setting up another book for success. But this one felt really short.

Nice glimpse back into the Smith world. Some dialogue humor. A little bit of mystery and action as well. The narrator did a nice job with providing unique voices and appropriate tone inflections for each scene.

Nice short story

Great character development melding the wild animal instinct with the human personalities. Laurenston is a master storyteller and this is a short but entertaining book. Humor and spice are included. The narrator was decent, but I would have preferred a little more vocal
variety to bring the book to life.

Paranormally Down South

I love this series. It is a great extension of the Smith pack cousins. And a great intro for new characters like the witches. My only dislike is the rhythm or cadence of the speaker. There is a random up and down cadence to the words throughout individual sentences that make regular sentences seem like questions. It just a bit annoying.

Love the story

Love the crazy antics. Good hearts big attitude and strong and sexy males. Oh my!

I had a really hard time listening to the narrator. I love Shelly Laurenston’s books but the narrator made this book intollerable. Maybe that’s because I’d been listening to the books narrated by Charolette Kane, I don’t know. I just know that I couldn’t keep it, I returned it and purchased something else. The story was fine, the characters were fun, if I’d purchased a print copy I would have been happy.
