This hot, hilarious stand-alone will keep you wildly entertained! Welcome to Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where shape-shifters, vampires, witches, and dragons live alongside humans. The town formed around the mysterious energy rift in the bayou, which helps keep the town's magic in balance. But lately the rift has been widening and destabilizing - threatening to send the town's magical population into chaos. Energy witch Danica Teel has been sent by the League to figure out what's going on, with the help of bear-shifter Mayor Zed. While working on the case, Zed falls head over paws for Dani, but she's reluctant to engage in anything beyond a roll in his cave. Dani's family is counting on her to get the job done, and she has no time for distractions. But when an ominous presence begins stalking Dani through the bayou, they'll need to band together to make it out alive.


Review: Dani is an energy witch, hired by the League to study the rift. Zed is a werebear mayor of Mystic Bayou. He is a loveable teddy bear, who tends to be comic relief until he meets Dani and connects with her.
He's thinking long term she doesn't know how ling she'll be in town. Hijinks ensue. Add in a little mystery and someone out to sabotage Dani's work or get her out if the way permanently. I through ally enjoyed this book. I loved Zed in book one and was super happy to see him find his mate. Dani is perfect for him, she speaks her mind and has a thing for llamas which I found amusing.
While I thought the plot was a bit formulaic. As in they find each other, something drives them apart, girl ends up in trouble. Zed saves the day and HEA. I still enjoyed the story and it was a nice escape. Just what I expect form Ms. Harper.
