Hot and Badgered (Honey Badger Chronicles, #1) (The Honey Badgers)

by Shelly Laurenston

Don’t miss the new series from New York Times bestselling author Shelly Laurenston…where honey badger shifters take center stage. As they should.

“Hot and humorous.”  —USAToday.com

 
It’s not every day that a beautiful naked woman falls out of the sky and lands face-first on grizzly shifter Berg Dunn’s hotel balcony. Definitely they don’t usually hop up and demand his best gun. Berg gives the lady a grizzly-sized t-shirt and his cell phone, too, just on style points. And then she’s gone, taking his XXXL heart with her. By the time he figures out she’s a honey badger shifter, it’s too late.
 
Honey badgers are survivors. Brutal, vicious, ill-tempered survivors. Or maybe Charlie Taylor-MacKilligan is just pissed that her useless father is trying to get them all killed again, and won’t even tell her how. Protecting her little sisters has always been her job, and she’s not about to let some pesky giant grizzly protection specialist with a network of every shifter in Manhattan get in her way. Wait. He’s trying to help? Why would he want to do that? He’s cute enough that she just might let him tag along—that is, if he can keep up …

I love Shelly Laurenston. Her books are always hilarious and full of action and fluff. I haven't read the Pride series, but this can be read as standalone - at least I don't think I've missed anything much.

I loved all the characters in this. I started to type which but then realised I listed all the characters. They were all amazing - Charlie, Max and Stevie and the triplets. And Kyle. And Dutch. See my problem? It was all just fantastic. The plot was crazy and insane and I loved every minute, chuckling my way through the one liners.

My only complaint and one which I feel the need to take half a star for is the language. At one point the c*** word is used and I hate that word so utterly much. It's only used once, but it was so unnecessary - it added nothing and jolted me out of my enjoyment of the narrative. Maybe I'm crazy, but I prefer that word to be absent from my vocabulary. So 4.5 stars, rounded up to 5.
