Only read the first two thus far but both I liked- especially Shelly Laurenston's entry of course. ;)
Not much for anthos myself, but since Eden & Laurenston rarely miss for me, I got this one. Get it if you need a short shifter story with a little steam!
Shelly's story is Tully Smith's story, The Wolf, The Witch, and Her Lack of Wardrobe (Loosely connected of her Pride series- one of my favorites!). He's the alpha of the Smithville Pack and in him Jaimie Meacham has ...more

Belong to the Night by Shelly Laurenston, Cynthia Eden and Sherrill Quinn.
This was one of those books I picked up simply because three of my favorite para-romance authors were behind it. These three together…wow, I’m sold. I don’t have to read the back, I certainly don’t have to sprawl out in the aisle of Borders and read other reviews…no thank you. I already know how much I will love it. I can honestly say, I definitely wasn’t let down this time. This book is awesome! It’s a fast read...more

Going to do this as I read each individual story...
I started with the Shelly Laurenston entry. It was ok. Not great, not bad. I loved Tully, his family, and the townsfolk. Decent storyline after it got going, too. Jamie, the heroine, annoyed me for most of the story, however. She was anti-social, snotty, and power-hungry, but we never find out why. It is only in the last quarter of the story that she develops any sort of personality. Some of her coven seem to have potential, ...more

Belong to the night is an anthology containing stories by Shelly Laurenston, Cynthia Eden and Sherrill Quinn.
The first story and the reason that I bought the book is The Wolf, The Witch and Her Lack of Wardrobe, the second in the Long Island Coven series. The first can be found in the Sun, Sand, Sex anthology that I reviewed last month.

I bought this primarily for Shelly Laurenston's story because I love all of her shifter stuff so much. All three stories were great. Shelly's had her usual witty banter, action and romance. I loved it. The next two stories were fast paced and steamy. Wow. Knock your socks off-- need a fan-- steamy. In the Dark by Cynthia Eden is a story about a shifter cop who discovers her dead boyfriend, also a cop, isn't really dead. It's fast paced, rather dark, romantic, sexy and action packed. The last s...more
Multiauthor anthology - one outstanding, one good, and one OK read.
The Wolf, The Witch, and Her Lack of Wardrobe by Shelly Laurenston: This is directly connected to her The Long Island Coven series [Sun, Sand, Sex Anthology-"My Kind of Town":] and indirectly to her Pack and Pride books. It is hysterically funny and the hero brings ambling to the level of art. Somehow you never think of Pack Alphas as amblers... Rating 5

Anthology
1. The Wolf, The Witch and Her Lack of Wardrobe by Shelly Laurenston. This takes place in Smithville after the coven has been in place for about 10 months. Jamie is working on getting more power and Tully is trying to figure out what she's doing. His father comes to town to make trouble and they both work to stop him. Very sweet, funny story. I really love Shelly Laurenston's books/stories. 4 stars.

The Wolf, The Witch, and her lack of Wardrobe - Shelly Laurenston. 2 stars. The heroine is so self-involved and unlikeable I almost didn't finish the story, and having finished, I can't say I am impressed. The hero is a laid-back good-old-boy type, who turns out to be highly educated. I felt like I was reading some kind of print version of a Hallmark Special with shifters and witches.

3.5 stars. These stories didn't just grab me in and keep me. In fact, the last one I skimmed for the 'good parts'....so I can't speak to how good the story is. I just didn't feel compelled to read it. I am also not especially partial to witch stories so that could be involved. I think paranormal stories are hard to do in novella form because it involves an alternate reality...and if the author spends enough time forming that reality, then the character interactions suffer. And if they focu...more
"In the Dark" by Cynthia Eden was a fun story about an FBI shifter who sees a boyfriend in a bar who she thinks died 2 years ago so of course she is pissed. Liam was ambushed in his last mission 2 years ago turning him into the undead vamp. Now they must work through the past and find a rouge shifter killing woman. I liked this short story, it had it all.

"The Wolf, The Witch, and Her Lack of Wardrobe" by Shelly Laurenston - 3 stars
I love the shifter world that Laurenston created with her Magnus Pack series, and this story fits nicely into that world. The setting is a small town of shifters in the South that has co-existed with a witch coven for generations, offering mutual protection to each other. I loved the character of Tully, wolf-shifting, laid-back mayor of the town who gets a feel for the town's issues by walking e...more

Really 3.5 *
I enjoyed this anthology, though there was nothing outstanding therefore the lack of stars.
Shelly Laurenston's tale of Tully Smith, pack alpha and mayor of Smithville meeting and slowly falling in love with his witch Jamie Meacham, who didn't want a bloke at all, was pretty good. 4* though not as good as usual.

In Anthology: 'Belong to the Night' by Shelly Laurenston, Cynthia Eden, and Sherrill Quinn.

Main characters: Wolf-shifter Tully Smith and witch Jamie Meacham.

Of course I loved the Shelly Laurenston novella the most, but the other two were great! Sherrill Quinn is new to me, so I'll definitely be checking out more of her books! Surprisingly my least favorite was the Cynthia Eden part, but I would still give it about 3 1/2 stars. Now I need to find the other Long Island Coven books!!!
I love Shelly Laurenston. The wolf, the witch, and her lack of wardrobe is a short story, but still a good one. In it, she mentions names characters from her Magnus Pack series. It's lightly tied in to them. This book is funny, making me laugh aloud more than once, it's also has some steamy scenes though not overly so. Good read.
This is a fun book full of great sexy short stories. If you are looking for a quick fun read pick it up. Loved the Shelly Laurenston story, she puts the fun in dysfuntional. The women seem to fight just as much as the men, making her stories a riot to read.
I only read Shelly Laurenston's steamy story which was good but I like her other books are better. It didn't have quite as much humor and witches weren't as appealing as shifters. Wolf shifter Tully notices Jamie working on her supernatural abilities.
I only read the first story.
The Wolf, the Witch and her lack of wardwobe.
I liked the story it was nice and sweet. Shelly Laurenston yet again makes a female character that doesn't take crap from no one and doesn't back down from a fight.

A 3 in 1 anthology. Three short stories in one book by three different authors. They are Shelly Laurenston, Cynthia Eden, and Sherrill Quinn.
Shelly Laurenston's story was a blast to read. I really hope there are more stories with those characters. I will be sure to email the author and ask that.

The first story by Shelly Laurenston was the reason I bought this book and the only reason to read this anthology, in my opinion. I laughed out loud at least once, which is why I'm such a HUGE fan of Ms. Laurenston. It's the story of wolf-shifter Tully Smith, who lives in a Carolina Smithville, and witch Jamie Meacham, who's the leader of the local coven. Tully is the mayor and when his good-for-nothing father shows up in town, he and Jamie take the SOB on. And also end up in bed. It's a lot l...more
The first story by Shelly was funny because Tully's Smithtown was a Southern lot of folks. And the way they talked was funny in it self. I got a kick out of this story. Worth the read. The other two story were good too.
3 short stories. The 1st one was awful. Very disjointed and the writing was terrible. I gave up on page 34. The 2nd two were ok, not bad, not good, just ok. Sadly, the 1st story was more than a third of the book.
This is a very quick, somewhat incomplete review. I only read the Laurenston novella. It was great. Very much full of the Laurenston stamp: strong heroine full to the brim with personality, a hero who is simply delighted with her, tons of family and friends around who are all involved in the story. Fun read. I do plan to read the other two novellas but I got the book on the strength of the Laurenston.

Funny Shelly Laurenston story - had a hard time at moments figuring out what was going on with Jamie and the magic but eventually had it all worked out. This was side-stitchingly hilarious at times!
Shelly Laurenston's story was great. Her character Tully Smith reminds me of Nora Robert's character Tucker Longstreet. If it wasn't for Tully being a wolf I would swear they were brothers.
The Wolf, The Witch and her Lack of Wardrobe by Shelly Laurenston 5/5
In the Dark by Cynthia Eden 2.5/5
City of the Dead by Sherrill Quinn 2.5/5
As a whole I'm giving this 3.5/5

Shelly Laurenston - Not as funny as her usual stories. Still very good, but I was disappointed because I was all set for her usual level of one-liners and dirty tricks.
It was okay. It took me a while to get into it. I just couldn't get into Shelley Laurenston's contribution. I love her books but this one was hard to read. The other two were very quick reads.
I really like the long island coven series. I am so happy to see a Black witch. This time I read all 3 and now Ii have to find a Cynthia Eden list of books.
This gets 4 stars solely because of Shelly Laurenston's story - anything that makes me laugh out loud is a winner - the other two stories were a waste.
