Hot and Badgered by Shelly Laurenston

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 …

Okay, so this was fun, as always. If you're looking for a crazy, fun romance with paranormal elements, Shelly Laurenston is your girl.

That being said, this wasn't the most fun I've had with a Shifter story. For one, while I defintely felt the attraction between Charlie and Berg, and thought they made a GREAT couple, I didn't really feel the "love". Like, I felt like they would get there FOR SURE, but it wasn't there by the end of the book.

Second, it was kind of cluttered. We got to see a LOT of povs, and while some of them were fun, a lot felt unnecessary for this particular story. I hope they will tie up with the next installment (we have yet to solve the Dad problem and hear about the mom, so I've got high hopes for that bearing fruit) but even so it felt a bit much.

I kind of want Mackenzie to get a book now.
