This first book in a new series that takes place in Mystic Bayou, Louisiana involves a researcher for theInternational League for Interspecies Cooperation, a cooperative organization founded centuries before by a group of shifters and humans hoping to hold on to the secret a little while longer but preparing for the worst. They want this researcher, Jillian Ramsey to go to Mystic Bayou, a community of shifters and humans who live in harmony and do a study on them.
She first meets Fred, a bear shifter who is really cute and happy-go-lucky and fun to be around. He's the mayor. She also meets the sheriff, Bael Boone, who she is not sure what he is only that he's infuriating. Bael's family seems to own every business in town. Both men flirt with her. And while Fred is more easy-going she is more attracted to the hard-headed Bael.
When he takes her to see his horde and dragon form which is a marriage proposal in dragon terms not only is she only interested in it from a historical point of view she treats their sexual encounter as a casual thing. For Jillian, she is not interested in getting involved in another relationship after her last one blew up so spectacularly. Besides she isn't staying there for very long. Pretty soon she'll leave and move on to another assignment.
To complicate things someone is killing people in town and some people think it has to do with her research study because they talked to her so people are refusing to talk to her now. This is just as good as her best friend Sonja whom she works with has uncovered the fact that the bosses are going to ask for an update and she provides the information they will be looking for so Jillian can get her ducks in a row.
This is a delightful book with great characters such as Fred who is much like a teddy bear or Jillian who is obsessed with the fae or Bael who is willing to piss off his family and marry a human. The whole town is filled with wonderfully eccentric characters that are enjoyable to read about, like the Brownie who can pick out the perfect piece of pie for you to eat that can make your day or give you an orgasm. I plan on reading the next book in the series, Love and Other Wild Things where Zed falls for someone. I thoroughly loved this book and give it five out of five stars.
