26 year old Presley Goult's life is anything but ordinary. Her mother abandoned her as a toddler after her father’s death, leaving Presley to be raised by the only family she has left - her uncle Arnold. After years of being away she returns heartbroken and devastated knowing this is the last place she wants to be. Unbeknownst to her, Kadenburg is not your ordinary town. There are secrets that have been kept from Presley for her own good. Will she find out the truth of who she is and the part she will play in the war that is about to erupt before it is too late to save everyone that she loves?

28 year old Lorcan Bamey was Presley's best friend growing up. He has always been there for her when she needed a friend and someone to lean on. Although he has always wanted more from Presley, rules are rules and he was forbidden to express his interest in having a relationship with her. You see, his upbringing was very different from most of the boys in town; the female must make the choice. It is part of Urseth’s law; laws that Presley will soon discover when her uncle finally decides to be honest about their ancestry.

Will Presley accept the truth about Kadenburg, and herself, in time to save her people?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the first book in the Kadenburg Shifters series.  They do need to be read in order.

Presley has returned to Kadenburg after breaking up with her long-time boyfriend Tim.  Once again living with her Uncle Arnold, she is working on rebuilding her life with plans to leave the small town as soon as possible.  That is, until she finds out that her family and friends have been keeping a really big secret.  When the lycanthropes return to Kadenburg, battle lines are drawn.  The peace-loving bears know that they will need to fight to maintain their town.

Love, love, love the story.  Ms. Ridener has a penchant for a couple of phrases that were used too often (e.g. hues for eyes), but the story is different.  It is a paranormal romance, but it doesn’t focus as much on the couple as it does the whole community and what the return of the werewolves mean for the bear shifters (ursithropes).  The bear jokes had me in stitches.  For example, the firefighter who claimed to be related to Smokey the Bear.  Smokey was always a favorite of mine when I was growing up.  Presley complained about becoming Winnie the Pooh!
I really want to continue reading this series.  I need to know what happens next!
