About this listen
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.

Working in the ER, Maeve has seen some weird stuff, like the guy with numerous gunshot wounds who literally hops off the operating table and walks out. Which isn't as strange as the people who claim they saw a wolf running out the main doors of the hospital. All par for the course on a full-moon shift. What Maeve doesn't know is she saved the life of the local Alpha.

Kera Watson never expected to face death behind a Los Angeles coffee shop. Not after surviving two tours lugging an M16 around the Middle East. If it wasn't for her hot Viking customer showing up too late to help, nobody would even have seen her die. In uncountable years of service to the Allfather Odin, Ludvig "Vig" Rundstrom has never seen anyone kick ass with quite as much style as Kera.

Neecy Lawrence, winged warrior for a Viking goddess and second-in-command of the fierce Crows, doesn't know what to do with a nice guy. As it is, making up for a past she'd sooner forget leaves her barely polite most days. But Raven leader and loyal Odin warrior, Will Yager, isn't just nice. He's gorgeous, hot, and a distraction she simply can't afford. Yager has wanted Neecy in his life - and in his bed - for a long time. Not just for a night, but forever. And, like any self-respecting Viking, he'll stop at nothing to get her.

Cat shifter Bree Dwyer doesn't fear much. Ironically, what she fears most is the person who was put on the Earth just for her. Your true mate wasn't supposed to be cruel and twisted; wasn't supposed to be someone who'd never love or want to claim you. The rumors that her true mate is dead bring her only relief. Bree's intent on moving forward with her life and building a future with someone else. Sadly, the male she wants most is one she can never have - a hot-as-sin wolverine shifter who happens to be her boss...and the cousin of her predestined mate.

A psychic without an anchor. A student in trouble. A shooter on the loose.I’m Jonathan Bane, a licensed psychic who consults for the police. I routinely help the police put the bad guys away and, for that reason, the criminal world doesn’t like me much. People like to take a swing at me, or go stabbity, or try for a gun. It makes for interesting times. My psychic ability prevents me from handling anything electronic—and I do mean ANYTHING, I fry it in seconds—so calling for help isn’t always a possibility.

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!

Lacks humor, bad narration.
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.

Good story but felt short
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.

2007 reprint
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 short story
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.

Paranormally Down South
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.

Love the story
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.

Returned it
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.
